Yurt

As Hong Kong’s first modern Central Asian restaurant, Yurt adds to our city’s diverse dining scene with the region’s nuanced flavours, unpretentious recipes, and homey hospitality. Founded by a trio of Central Asian natives — head chef Marat Zakaryayev, Ali Nuraly, and Xeniya Tregubenko — Yurt is a homage to the traditions and cultures of Kazakhstan and its neighbours. 

Guests can explore Yurt’s menu of authentic halal dishes through a six-course tasting menu (from $488 per person) or tailor your culinary experience with the à la carte menu. A must-try is the beshbarmaq, a dish of noodle parcels, beef, and horse meat sausage in a clear broth that offers a traditional and authentic taste of Kazakh flavours. Standing by its halal philosophy, Yurt also offers a curation of sparkling teas, zero-proof cocktails, as well as traditional hot teas to pair with your meal. Try the aromatic Samarkand Spice mocktail, an aromatic mix of star anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg that enhances each course.
