Experience Authentic Xinjiang Cuisine

Authentic Xinjiang Cuisine in the Heart of Santa Clara

Established in January 2024, Tarim Garden has quickly become a beloved culinary destination at 2135 El Camino Real in Santa Clara. Our restaurant celebrates the diverse flavors of Xinjiang cuisine, particularly from the Ili region, where the historic Tarim Basin served as a cultural crossroads along the ancient Silk Road.

Our chef was born in Ili, Xinjiang and comes from a family with deep culinary traditions. After coming to the Bay Area and finding it difficult to find authentic Xinjiang local restaurants, we started a food delivery service in 2023 before opening Tarim Garden. We specialize in hand-pulled noodles (Laghman), Big Plate Chicken (Da Pan Ji), Lamb Polo (Polu), and other authentic dishes that showcase the unique spices and culinary traditions of Northwestern China.

At Tarim Garden, we believe that food brings people together. Our warm, inviting atmosphere makes us the perfect place for family gatherings, business lunches, or intimate dinners. We use fresh, high-quality ingredients, with all meats being halal, and even import some ingredients and spices directly from Xinjiang to maintain authenticity.
