Reposted from the web
Summary: This Beijing halal restaurant map keeps the original part-sixteen food list, including Muhejia hotpot, Baoyuelou dishes, addresses, and photos. It is useful for readers searching for halal restaurant near me Beijing and city halal food routes.
1. Muhejia Rotating Hot Pot
Muhejia is a chain with two locations currently, one in Beitaipingzhuang and one in Zhichunlu. It is a rotating hot pot restaurant where you mix your own dipping sauces and pay based on the number of skewers you eat.
Drinks and certain specific dishes are charged separately.
Each person gets their own small pot, which is great for solo diners, though large pots are also available.
Flat skewers are 3 yuan, long skewers are 2 yuan, and short skewers are 1 yuan. There is a wide variety of food, but you must order meat for the pot separately. The average cost per person is under 50 yuan.
Across from the Muhejia in Zhichunlu is Jiangnanchun, which is also a good place for hot pot meat.
Address:
It is right at Exit G1 of Zhichunlu Station on Subway Line 10.
2. Taoran Garden Hotel · Baoyuelou
Baoyuelou is a themed restaurant at the Beijing Taoran Garden Hotel created to honor the love story of Emperor Qianlong and the Fragrant Concubine (Xiangfei). It specializes in halal Cantonese food, fusion dishes, and Beijing cuisine.
In the 22nd year of the Qianlong reign, the Qing government put down the rebellion of the Small and Large Khojas, and the Fragrant Concubine's family was brought to Beijing. Qianlong built a mosque (Huihuiying Qingzhensi) for her near Xinhua Gate, and in the 23rd year of his reign, he built Baoyuelou for her, specifically hiring Hui Muslim chefs to cook for her.
The Baoyuelou restaurant is very spacious and has private rooms that can hold 30 people. I specifically invited 28 friends (dost) to have dinner together at Baoyuelou for Eid al-Adha (Qurban Festival) this time.
The restaurant servers were North Korean women in uniforms. They were all professionally trained for international work, looked beautiful, spoke fluent Chinese, and were very attentive. I did not even realize they were North Korean until I asked for some local snacks and they did not understand me. When I asked, I learned they were not Chinese. The North Korean women also mentioned that there are no Hui Muslims in North Korea.
The largest round table in the private room seats 20 people. The room is very big, and you could even fit another table next to it.
The menu is a thick book with a wide variety of dishes, mostly Cantonese and imperial court cuisine. It is quite expensive, with an average cost of about 150 yuan per person. After the meal, everyone agreed that the food at Baoyuelou was delicious and worth the price.

Address:
Taoran Garden Hotel at 19 Taiping Street, near the east gate of Taoranting Park.
3. Halal Burger (Qingzhenbao)
I found a halal fast-food burger shop at the entrance of Langfa Village in Daxing District.
I looked at the menu inside and was a bit overwhelmed by the many choices. Two young men run the shop, and they seem to be locals. Sometimes their older family members stop by to visit.
I chose a popcorn chicken combo, and everything is made fresh to order.
A combo is only 17 yuan, which is quite cheap.
The popcorn chicken and the chicken leg burger were both delicious, though the shop is a bit far from the city center.
Address:
At the entrance of Langfa Village, Daxing District, north of the intersection of Tongshun Street and Weiyong Road.
4. Indian Palace
I found this halal Indian restaurant on a street in Chaoyang District near Shunyi. The owners are two men from Northeast China, and the chef is from Bangladesh.
This shop opened in 2003 and has always done well. The food is quite authentic. Sometimes a guy from Northeast China does the cooking. He is good at making Indian and Italian dishes, but some customers leave as soon as they see a Chinese person cooking Indian food. This makes him feel down, but he does not think his skills are any worse than an Indian chef's.
I listened to him vent about the economy over the last few years. He said fewer foreigners are coming to Beijing now, so business is not as good as it used to be. He is planning to open a branch in the city.
I had the classic beef curry with flatbread (naan), and it tasted great.
Indian yogurt drink (lassi).
This beef curry was made by a chef from Bangladesh. We talked about several Indian restaurants in Beijing. They knew all of them and told me why some of them do not cook well.
Address:
No. 8 Laiguangying East Road, Chaoyang District.
5. Xiaolou Restaurant.
Xiaolou Restaurant is the largest and oldest halal restaurant in the Tongzhou area.
Xiaolou Restaurant has a clear specialty. They are best at making braised catfish, a dish I have not seen in any other Beijing restaurant.
You can also try the camel meat and venison.
The Tongzhou Great Mosque is right next to Xiaolou Restaurant. Friends (dosti) in Tongzhou can even hold their weddings here.
I tried the braised catfish (shao nianyu) and steamed dumplings (zhengjiao). I ate catfish when I was a kid and never liked it because it tasted muddy, but the braised catfish at Xiaolou didn't have that muddy taste at all. I even saw the guests at the next table specifically come here to eat it.
The steamed dumplings were delicious, just a bit small. The server said I had to order at least two baskets, and I thought I wouldn't be able to finish them, but they were actually about the same size as regular dumplings.
Across from Xiaolou Restaurant is the newly opened Haibin Meat Pie Shop. The Tongzhou Jingdong meat pie (jingdong roubing) is also delicious, so I will eat that next time.
Address:
No. 12 South Street, Tongzhou.
6. Changji Sesame Flatbread (shaobing)
I bought some hawthorn cakes (shanzha bing) and red bean paste cakes (dousha bing) at Changji Sesame Flatbread in Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou.
The crusts of the red bean paste cakes and hawthorn cakes were soft and fluffy, and they were full of filling and tasted great.
Address:
Ground floor shops, Taiyuyuan Residential Community, Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou.
7. Junyue Wuhan Jiujiu Duck
I found a small halal Wuhan Jiujiu Duck shop on the side of the road. I went in and chatted, and the owner is a Hui Muslim from Zhangjiawan. This was my first time seeing halal Jiujiu Duck.
I bought duck wings and duck necks. The owner chopped them into pieces for me, and I roasted them at home. They tasted great.
Address:
Ground floor shops at Taiyuyuan, Zhangjiawan.
8. Zhangjiawan Hui Muslim Village.
Zhangjiawan is a gathering place for Hui Muslims in Tongzhou. It still keeps the neighborhood vibe from before the urban renewal projects of the last century, and there are many small shops.
Tongzhou has many types of snacks. The sesame flatbread (shaobing) is especially good, so remember to buy some when you come here.
Address:
Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District.
9. Halal buckwheat noodles (heluo mian).
I happened to see this halal buckwheat noodle (heluo mian) shop while passing through Huangfa Village. The sign also listed potstickers (guotie), pan-fried buns (shuijianbao), and lamb offal soup (yangza tang). I could tell right away it was run by people from Henan. This kind of halal Henan-style shop is rare in Beijing now. I was in a hurry so I didn't eat there, but if you don't mind the distance, you can come and try it.
