About

Yurt is Hong Kong's first modern Central Asian restaurant, located on Elgin Street in SoHo, Central. Founded by a trio of Kazakh natives — Ali Nuraly, Xeniya Tregubenko, and head chef Marat Zakaryayev — Yurt brings the nomadic hospitality and bold flavours of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan to the heart of Hong Kong. Inspired by the traditional yurt where strangers become family, the restaurant operates on a halal philosophy with no alcohol, offering instead a curation of sparkling teas, zero-proof cocktails, and traditional hot teas. Guests may dine via a six-course tasting menu (from HKD488 per person) or the à la carte menu. Signature dishes include baursak — plump homemade fried dough pockets served with white truffle sauce — and beshbarmaq, a hearty dish of noodle parcels, beef, and horse meat sausage in a clear broth. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner. Yurt is located at 32 Elgin Street, SoHo, Central, Hong Kong.
