Muslim Restaurants

  1. A

    Crescent Moon Muslim Restaurant

    The meaty lamb kebabs (羊肉串; yángròu chuàn) at this well-known hútòng-side Uighur restaurant are the talk of the town and there's a far more intimate feel here than at some of Běijīng's other more high-profile Uighur eateries. The dàpánjī (大盘鸡) is a filling dish of potatoes, peppers and vegetables served over thick noodle slices. Picture menu.

  2. B

    Xīláishùn Fànzhuāng

    The gathering place for local Muslims, this unassuming restaurant is a great choice for those undaunted by Chinese- only picture menus. Excellent choices include beef fried with coriander (烤牛肉; kǎo niúròu; Y24) and sesame duck kebabs (芝麻鸭串; zhīma yāchuàn; Y25). Look for the mosque-style entrance.

  4. Zhènyà Niúròu Miàn

    Join the local Muslim population for their noodle fix at this busy place by the Great Mosque. There's no menu, but there are only two dishes: beef noodles (牛肉面; niúròu miàn; Y5) and minced-meat noodles (干拌面; gān bànmiàn; Y6.50). A small peppery soup (酸汤; suān tāng) comes free.

  5. Xīnjiāng Hóng Mǔdān Mùsīlín Kuàicān

    This extremely popular Xīnjiāng restaurant beside Sìchuān University is a great place to sample the Uighur speciality dàpánjī (literally 'big plate chicken') – a massive portion of chicken, potatoes and peppers stewed in a savoury, spicy sauce. Even the 'small' plate (Y30) will serve two or three. When you're part-way through the meal, staff dump a pile of handmade noodles into your dish, perfect for sopping up the sauce. Lamb skewers (羊肉串; yángròu chuàn; Y1) and grilled naan bread (烤馕; kǎo náng; Y4) are good accompaniments. If you're eating solo, the dīngdīng miàn (丁丁面; Y6 to Y8) is a noodle dish worth sampling.

  6. Shuǐquán Cāntīng

    Handily tucked away by the hotel of the same name, this is a good place for a plate of spicy dàpánjī (大盘鸡; chicken with green and red peppers and potato in an oily chilli sauce; medium/large Y50/60); we recommend going for a medium plate unless you have a horse-like hunger or there are three of you. It can be a bit of a wait, but when it arrives the dish is a real feast.

  7. Qǐngzhān Gānsù Líntán Fàndiàn

    This popular Muslim restaurant run by a friendly guy from Gānsù province makes a nice change from Sichuanese or Tibetan. No menu, but noodle dishes on offer include beef noodle squares (牛肉面片; niúròu miànpiàn; Y8) and glass noodles with beef (牛肉粉条; niúròu fěntiáo; Y8). The shǒuzhuā yángròu (手抓羊肉; Y35 per jīn) is the restaurant's speciality lamb dish. One jīn is enough for one person. Located at the town crossroads.
