Eating South Asian and Middle Eastern Food in Beijing (Part 1) (Section 1C of 4)
Reposted from the web
Summary: This travel note introduces Eating South Asian and Middle Eastern Food in Beijing (Part 1). Over the past few years, I have visited many Middle Eastern and South Asian restaurants in Beijing, some of which have already closed down. It is useful for readers interested in Beijing Halal Food, Muslim Travel, Middle Eastern Food.
On July 17, 2019, I enjoyed having lentil soup, lamb hummus, falafel, labneh, cucumber yogurt, and a mixed grill platter at Al Safir.
Hummus and falafel are both specialty foods from the Levant region on the eastern Mediterranean coast, and all kinds of ways to prepare hummus are super delicious. I have also loved lentil soup ever since I started eating at the Palestinian restaurant at my university, although it is a bit hot to eat in the summer.
I love their roasted lamb so much! It is very tender, and it is so satisfying to dip it in the onion and tomato sauce and wrap it in pita bread. Their roasted meat is so delicious that there was an incident where I ate several pieces as soon as it was served before I remembered to take a photo lol.
On January 10, 2019, I had lentil soup, lamb hummus, grilled fish, and mint tea for lunch at the Jordanian restaurant Al Safir in Sanyuanqiao. I especially love their onion sauce! I have to order an extra serving every time.
