Turan Uyghur Kitchen has planted its flag in Katy, giving Grand Parkway diners a closer fix for hand-pulled noodles, skewers and Uyghur meat pies. The second Greater Houston location, at 402 W. Grand Parkway, Suite 108, quietly started serving on Feb. 24, sparing west-side regulars the drive into Chinatown for favorites like pearl noodles, kabobs, tugur dumplings and the uyghur goshnaan meat pie.
Owner Opened Katy Spot To Be Closer To Customers
Owner Ali Omar told Community Impact he chose Katy so regulars from Katy and Spring would not have to trek to the restaurant’s Chinatown outpost for their noodle and kebab fix. Omar, who is originally from East Turkestan, also said the kitchen leans hard on fresh spices and uses only "premium" meats for its kebabs and noodle dishes. Community Impact first reported the Katy opening on March 24.
Menu And Locations
The restaurant’s official website lists three locations, in Houston, Plano and now Katy, and highlights dishes such as pearl noodle, tugur dumplings, samsa and uyghur goshnaan, according to Turan Uyghur Kitchen. The site also gives the Katy phone number as (281) 392-9200 and promotes online ordering along with a rewards app for takeout and delivery. The Katy outpost sits in a Grand Parkway retail complex that mixes local spots with familiar national restaurant names.
Why Houstonians Are Paying Attention
Turan helped put Uyghur cuisine on Houston’s map after its Asiatown outpost drew praise for chewy hand-pulled noodles and bold, chile-flecked sauces. The Houston Chronicle's review singled out goshnaan, dumplings and the restaurant’s big-plate chicken as standout dishes that capture the region’s Central Asian flavors, as noted by the Houston Chronicle. That critical attention, combined with a growing appetite for under-represented cuisines, could make the Katy storefront an easy pickup for suburban diners who are ready to branch out from the usual suspects.
What To Know Before You Go
The new Katy location’s hours, menu and ordering options are listed on Turan’s site, which also confirms the address and contact details for all three locations, according to Turan Uyghur Kitchen. The restaurant is walk-in friendly for dine-in. The website and app handle pickup and delivery orders for those who would rather bring noodles and kabobs home. More details are available through Turan Uyghur Kitchen.
For Katy diners who have been trekking into town for Uyghur specialties, the new Turan outpost offers a much shorter commute and a low-effort way to explore a rarely seen cuisine. Whether you show up for skewers, dumplings or the goshnaan, the Katy location is set up to deliver the same spices and communal plates that helped the original become a local favorite.
