Gulistan - when Turkish meets Xinjiang Uyghur

I found this surprising authentic and atmospheric muslim restaurant after taking my visitors to shop for the fake stuff at the Tech Museum subway underground shopping street.  It's tucked in amidst a row of fastfood eats.  We ordered some lamb over rice and noodle dishes (standard Xinjiang fares) and also some yogurt dip with our doner kabop.  Everything was so tasty that even my ABC cousins who've had food trouble ever since they got to China had a smile on their faces.  We also got a free Uyghur guitar singing session from the waiter, who had just arrived in Shanghai from Xinjiang a week before.  I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who takes the trouble to go all the way out there to shop.  In Kurdish, Gulistan means the "Land of Roses" -- I had to look that one up...
