  • The atmosphere is great and relaxed

  • I ordered the Stir fried lamb shish with noodles which was rich in flavour and was also a little bit spicy

  • The lamb was succulent and was well diced into the noodles

  • Silk Road has made a name for itself serving up fantastic Chinese fusion dishes traditional to the northern Chinese province of Xinjiang at prices which are so affordable

  • Reading through the menu is an exercise in self discipline as the combination of incredible sounding dishes and impossibly cheap prices makes it impossible to settle on a "

  • The stir fried lamb shish with hand pulled noodles

  • I wish I had as dish after dish was just consistently beautiful and packed with flavours and aroma which would excite any tastebud

  • My highlights were the lamb shish dishes which were both a masterful use of cumin and chilli

  • These dishes are SPICY so handle with care

  • Go for the Luxury noodles (hand pulled noodles with special lamb

  • Vegetables and a fried egg) which is as good as the name suggests

  • Saying there was a one hour wait

  • From just after we arrived the place was full and stayed that way all night

  • I had heard that the menu was quite short but it was still long enough for it to take us quite some time to decide on which dishes to choose

  • Shredded tripe with onions and chillies (a wild card dish at Stephen&rsquo

  • 3.00 and each dumpling was very generously filled

  • Slightly chewy dough with juicy pork and finely shredded celery inside

  • That sauce was fantastic &ndash

  • The first bite had quite a kick to it but it was manageable if you didn't eat too many of the fresh chillies at once

  • It came out as we were halfway through the pork

  • The onions and tripe were pale and drab with the fresh green chillies the only vibrant and inviting thing on the plate

  • Fatty lamb dusted with cumin (I think)

  • A massive bowl was brought to the table full of a steaming brown sauce

  • The broth had a very savoury taste to it that was incredibly more ish

  • This was also where the heat lay and it was easy to forget this when you were spooning it out

  • Ve ever seen) were dumped into the plate

  • In my humble opinion was a fantastic creation

  • D ingested so many chillies I think I was beginning to feel a bit spacey

  • Perfect to order several dishes and share with the people you go with

  • Silk Road (Camberwell) is not very big so you may have to wait a little before you get a table

  • So when you go there it is really because of the food

  • Everything was really delicious but the dishes don't come at the same time (something we could observe in other chinese places)

  • All the chinese places we went were really good and a cheap choice

  • The dumplings were quite big and a good generous portion

  • The skewers were one of my favourites

  • We had the lamb skewers which were nicely marinated with lots of delicious spices

  • The red snapper fish skewers were really tasty and moreish

  • The big plate/bowl chicken was another favourite for us a huge plate of chicken in a warm and comforting broth

  • Apparently there are queues outside during peak meal times

  • The prices are cheap for London standards

  • So it's no surprise it's such a big hit with the foodies

  • The stir fried lamb shish so full of spicy cumin chilliness I can feel each of my cells bursting with life the more I eat

  • We'd been before for a friend's birthday and I was so blown away I'd forgotten the finer details the only thing I could remember is that it was bloody amazing

  • Silk Road serves food from China's Xinjiang province in the country's north west meaning a brilliant fusion of more Middle Eastern flavours with Chinese methods

  • We had a table booked for 8 at 8pm but 8.20 we were still standing waiting for our table

  • It was hot in there and the tea we were given by way of an apology by the time we sat down soothed my anger

  • Grilled dumplings with lamb and onion were tasty

  • Slightly sweet sauce and chillies it is bizzarrely good but no amount of me saying that will get you close to knowing how good it is

  • Next came Chicken with Green Chilli (£

  • 7) that dances in front of the eyes with its bright green and red colours of the chillies before the party moves into the mouth

  • The noodles are studded with chunks of lamb marinated in cumin and chilli in such vast quantities it should be totally overpowering

  • Made even more special with its seasonings

  • I forget which ones so sated and misty eyed I was by the end of it

  • This restaurant is cheap and cheerful

  • The majority of their dishes are rather spicy

  • It is also best to bring cash as both times I've been there the card machine "

  • Having heard reports of hour long waits mid week we booked as it was a Saturday

  • Good job as the place was absolutely packed

  • I had high expectations but Silk Road is SO over rated

  • Other staff were timid but polite

  • Half of it was chunks of fat

  • The fillings were not flavourful

  • The Middle Plate Chicken was a mixture of boiled chicken and potatoes in a watery and unflavourful broth

  • Slightly sweet and mildly spicy and was a fair portion size

  • The only good thing about Silk Road is the low prices for London standards

  • Plenty of fast food places on this road but Silk Road (Camberwell) was a stand out chinese restaurant

  • The noodles were hand made and super tasty and the charcoal grilled meat and fish skewers were fantastic

  • I booked and was glad I did

  • The soup noodle and skewers are the best dishes of the night

  • It supposes to be the signature dish of Xinjinag Ciusine and it turned out to be completely wrong the dish was very tasteless

  • Boiled lamp is in good portion but again

  • Lamb skewer and homemade cabbage are pretty good

  • If you want to try XinJiang cuisine which I really recommend then here is the wrong place

  • Few sit down restaurants are as inexpensive as Silk Road
