2023 has been a year of firsts for Dublin and the Irish hospitality scene. In March Rathmines welcomed the first fully kosher deli in the country, and last month O’Connell Street became home to Ireland’s first Uyghur restaurant.
Uyghurs are Turkic-speaking people of interior Asia, according to Britannica; mostly, they live in northwestern China, in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
