Recently enjoyed their iftaar/dinner buffet. The buffet was amazing, and despite the restaurant being absolutely packed, the staff kept the line moving and the buffet filled at an extremely efficient rate.The manager was exceptionally courteous and made sure that everyone was well looked after throughout their meals.11/10 would recommend!!

Stopped for the ifthar buffet today and it was SO GOOD. the food was delicious and the staff was great. They kept refilling everything as it finished.My only irk was that they charged full price for two five year olds who were either us. One kid didn’t eat anything at all and the other had a couple cupcakes.

Eerkin’s is an absolute delight! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and elegance. The food is exceptional, each dish meticulously crafted and bursting with flavor. The ambiance is inviting, with soft lighting and elegant decor, perfect for any occasion. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring a seamless dining experience. Whether you're a food enthusiast or just looking for a memorable meal Eerkins is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

This year’s iftar buffet was disappointing. Had been to their other location 2 years ago. The quality and variety of food was much lower.

I have called this Restaurant yesterday to make a reservation for 4 and I was told that they will call me after sometime as they are making room for us. Later, they called and said they won't be able to accomodate us and I said lets make reservation for tomorrow. I told my name and confirmed. Today when I called them to make sure they said no reservation made as a credit is required to confirm the reservation. My question is how am I supposed to know that a credit is needed to confirm the reservation. Shouldn't I be told yesterday so that I could have given that information? I have spoken to a gentleman called "Chaudhry Baber" or at least the caller ID says that. I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone for such a below standard of professinalism.

Review for Ramadan/Iftar month buffet:Slightly pricy for what you get, for a 35$/adult buffet + 18% gratuity is extra and applied even for small parties (1-2 person).(+) Friendly service, good quality for a few dishes (Samsa, handmade noodles, tomato eggplant, hummus, roast lamb and chicken rice), and they encouraged diners to take a included take-out box of leftover food.(-) Less dishes than what they advertised on their flyer and social media (no authentic desserts except for 1 type of cookie, no raita/yogurt sauce for the spicy food, no kebabs, etc), and most dishes weren’t refilled, ie only one portion would be set out for the whole night.

It was our first time in an Uyghur restaurant. We saw some nice feedback about the Rockville location for Eerkin's, and we decided to try it. We came on a rainy Saturday early evening (3.9.2024). The place had one occupied table. But as we stayed, people started to come. It had a nice, comfortable atmosphere. The service was pleasant; they were nice and always smiling. The food looked "familiar," but the flavors were new to us. They were a great selection. But the masterpiece was obviously the Kordak - that impressive Lamb Shank Pot Pie! It was delicious! We know that we'd return to dine again.//

This is my first time here and it was pretty good but not amazing. What is amazing is the customer service! Our waiter was one of the most polite servers I’ve had.5 stars for 5 reasons1. What really stood out is the customer service provided that day was exceptional and that’s how all servers should be.2. The noodle dish and the lamb rice dish was really good. In house noodle and the texture is perfect. Came with bits and pieces of chicken which worked really well.3. The waiter was informed that I was there to celebrate my birthday. He brought me cake on the house! That is awesome!4. The ambiance is perfect for the exception of the lighting, bright light. Perfect lighting would be warmer lighting.5. Quantity of food they give is a lot

I just had the eggplant salad and wow! So savory with the umami flavors from the soy but the tomatoes and greens were light and refreshing while the eggplant provided this amazing bittersweet anchor to the whole dish. Delicious!

I tried the chicken noodle. It was extremely oily. I would ask the owner and chef to reduce the oil in their food, so it could become an option for everyoneI will try out this place again but another dish for sure.
