"You can just as easily roll up to this Chinese spot in Camberwell for a little Wednesday night date as you can pile in for a small, skewer-happy birthday. The Xinjiang food hits many marks and remains great-value. The hand-pulled noodles are bouncy and the cumin skewers as moreish as ever. Not every dish has a punch, but when things do land, like with the hot and sour-style vinegar cabbage, or a bowl of chewy lamb noodles, we're reminded why Silk Road is such a classic." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
