Jahunger brings Uyghur cuisine — the Central Asian food tradition of China's Xinjiang region — to Fox Point, with a second location in Cambridge. The menu runs through the region's staples: hand-pulled laghman noodles, meefen rice noodles, samsa dumplings, kavap skewers, and a large braised chicken and potato stew meant for sharing. Cold dishes like spiced chicken and cucumber beef sit alongside house-made yogurt, and a honey cake that's become the dessert people order by name.
Regulars point to well-calibrated spice levels and knowledgeable service as reasons they keep coming back. The kitchen has drawn recognition beyond the neighborhood: a James Beard Foundation semifinalist nod for Best Chef Northeast in 2025, and a spot among Rhode Island Monthly's city-mag favorites in 2024.
