3. The secret of Rumi's Turkish restaurant
On February 18, 2021, I had an Ottoman breakfast at Rumi's Secret on Ritan Shangjie, pretending to be in Turkey.
On September 25, 2020, our family held a welcome dinner for Zainab's mother at Rumi's Secret, a Turkish restaurant on Ritan Upper Street. Since opening this summer, Rumi's Secret has become a popular spot for friends in Beijing, especially among our Uyghur friends. Because they do not sell alcohol, I find it to have the most comfortable atmosphere among the many halal restaurants on Ritan Upper Street, making it very suitable for family gatherings.
For appetizers, we ordered carrot puree and yogurt eggplant puree; for soup, we ordered lentil soup and cream of mushroom soup; then we also ordered grilled chicken, kebabs, and Pide. The owner also gave us complimentary black tea and dessert after the meal. Zainab's mother tried Middle Eastern lentil soup for the first time and thought it tasted very good. Their grilled chicken and kebabs were also quite delicious, but the one I recommend most is the mixed Pide, which had cheese, meat, and vegetables. I think it was even more fragrant than the Pide I had at several shops in Turkey.
