Best Halal Restaurants Beijing 2026: Must-Try Hui Muslim Food, Hot Pot, BBQ, Noodles and Street Snacks
Reposted from the web
Summary: This 2026 Beijing halal restaurant must-eat list updates the author's 2024 guide and covers the city's huge range of halal food, from Sichuan hot pot and Yunnan beef to Hui Muslim snacks, noodles, barbecue, roast duck, lamb, and regional Chinese Muslim dishes.
The last time I wrote a must-eat list was in 2024. In two years, the list has changed again. Some stores have closed down, but new ones have been added. As time goes by, I still believe that Beijing’s value as a city with the most diverse halal cuisine in the world is still rising. It has surpassed Shanghai and Guangzhou. After Beijing, it should be Kuala Lumpur. In recent years, more and more Chinese have opened stores in Kuala Lumpur. They have brought delicacies from their hometowns and made halal improvements.
Facing the serious involution of the catering market, the traditional halal catering business model can no longer adapt to market demand. Halal catering does need to make changes, break the original business model, and introduce advanced management concepts. In the past few years, although many catering people have complained that it is not easy to make money, there are still a few restaurants that can buck the trend and break through. This is an era that truly tests the comprehensive strength of catering people, and those who can survive are the elites.
In order to control the length, only one restaurant from each cuisine is selected and introduced in no particular order.
1. Niubi·Sichuan Hotpot
Niu Bu Bi is a halal chain store from Sichuan. The first time I ate Niu Bu Bi was in Chengdu in 2016. It was the first time I ate authentic halal Chengdu hot pot. I queued for more than two hours at the time, but I thought it was very worth it. Later I tried it again I ate at the Xining branch (which has since closed down) and I couldn’t forget it after I returned to Beijing. Now you can have the taste of Chengdu at your doorstep. After the opening of Metro Line 19, you can go directly from Niujie to Niubi, which means there is one less reason to go to Chengdu.
Today, there are more than one Sichuan-style hotpot in Beijing. Junbang Hotpot in Xinjiang Building is Sichuan-flavored. Junbang and Xihan Meatball Soup are owned by the same owner. The environment and service are also great, but Niubi is still the number one Sichuan-style halal hotpot in my mind.
The restaurant is located on the second floor of Quanpin Jinsha in Peony Garden. The place is spacious and the decoration design is said to be by Hui designers.
The boss of Niu Bubi is a local Hui from Sichuan, and the chef of Niu Bubi is also a Sichuan Hui who is good at cooking Sichuan cuisine.
ice powder
Ice powder is a must-have dessert for Sichuan hot pot. It is mainly used to relieve the spiciness. It is cool and sour.
duck intestines
Duck intestines and tripe are must-have dishes in Chengdu hot pot. The duck intestines will be cooked after being soaked in water.
Hairy belly
Shabu-shabu tripe is a signature feature. Fresh tripe can be cooked in just a few seconds, commonly known as "seven up and eight down", otherwise the taste will be stale.
Small crispy pork
Freshly fried crispy pork is also one of the standard snacks of Sichuan hot pot. The beef tastes tender and crispy.
Brown sugar glutinous rice cake
Unlike some stores that buy ready-made brown sugar glutinous rice cakes for heating, Niubi's brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are made on site to ensure the best taste.
Why is the name of the store called "Niu Bu Bi"? It means that their beef does not need to be compared with others. It also has a transliterated meaning of "Niubi", but Niu Bubi is indeed awesome in the reputation of its partners.
2. Khotan rose rice pilaf·Xinjiang
Hotan Rose is a Xinjiang halal restaurant that only serves pilaf. It has a chain store in Urumqi. This store opened in Yizhuang in 2025 and quickly became a local Internet celebrity restaurant.
The signature pilaf won unanimous praise from people around me. to the pilaf, the store also offers grilled buns, thin-skin buns, and three free side dishes.
Their free side dishes are particularly delicious.
The mutton and oil are shipped from Xinjiang, and the rice comes from Heilongjiang in the northeast.
The kitchen is full of Uyghurs, and the lamb leg pilaf in this restaurant is quite impressive. I arrived late, and there was only one leg of lamb left. The leg of lamb was very soft and delicious, and the pilaf was also fragrant. It can be said that it is the ceiling of pilaf in Xinjiang restaurants in Beijing.
3. Italian Firenze Western Restaurant
The first halal Italian-themed restaurant in Beijing. This restaurant was originally an Italian restaurant, but it was poorly managed. Now it was taken over by Bati, which still retains the Italian flavor and added Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Because I have recommended his Indian and Pakistani cuisine before, which is the China-Pakistan Friendship Restaurant, so this time I combined them into one and only introduced this new restaurant.
The lamb chops and pasta are very Italian. It’s rare to eat such authentic halal Italian food in Beijing.
Just look at the crispy balls that accompany this dish, and you know that the background of the chef is revealed.
The store specializes in orange juice American style. He insists on the non-alcoholic feature of Bati Restaurant. In summer, you can sit in the small garden of the yard and have barbecue. The average consumption per person is 100+
4. Wanfu Halal Iron Pot Stew
The Harbin Halal Iron Pot Stew in Daxing tastes very good and feels better than Uncle Oyster. There is another recommended halal iron pot stew restaurant in Beijing called Zou Yishou, but due to the lack of Northeastern stir-fry dishes in Zou Yishou, it is inferior to Wanfu.
to the iron pot stew, their most surprising thing is that they have pot-wrapped meat, and there are several ways to cook it. You can make chicken or beef, and you can choose sweet or savory.
This is called a sticky roll. You don't need to bake the dough. Just put it into the pot, simmer and steam it for 15 minutes and then you can eat it. It's very fragrant.
The boss gave me the stone-ground tofu. The tofu was made by myself. It was served with braised vegetables and other ingredients. It felt like eating tofu puffs, and it was also delicious.
We added dried beans and dried potatoes to the iron pot. These two ingredients are more delicious after being stewed than fresh.
The Hui Muslims's Guobao Pork in Harbin is salty. Their Guobao Pork is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. We finished a plate in just a few times. Beijing can finally eat authentic salty Guobao Pork again.
5. La Medina Tunisian Restaurant
Tunisia and Morocco both belong to the Maghreb region of North Africa. They are basically similar in terms of eating habits, which can make up for the lack of Moroccan restaurants. It is somewhat beyond my expectation that this restaurant can persist to this day.
This restaurant has also changed locations in the past two years, from small to large. The chef is a Tunisian Arab. We talked together and confirmed that it is a halal restaurant, but there is no sign. In China, if you want to apply for halal certification, you must get approval from the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, otherwise individuals cannot hang up the halal sign with Chinese characters.
Classic Moroccan Bean Soup
couscous Tunisian millet rice
The most distinctive thing about Tunisia is this millet dish, which is called millet. It tastes like millet, but it is not made of millet, but a kind of grain made from ground hard wheat grains.

shakshuka eggs sizzling shakshuka eggs
Beef wheat buns
Those who know the nozzle in the bathroom will naturally know what it is used for.
6. Beef Roast Pork Specialty Shop·Japanese Cuisine
It has been about 6 years since Gyuushi Yakiniku opened in Beijing. There were three stores before, but now only the main CBD store remains. Due to some reasons, the CBD store moved last year, and the new store is not far from the original location. But this is no longer the only halal Japanese restaurant in Beijing. Daxing has opened a new one, Sun Moon Star Wagyu Roast Pork.
The boss of Niu Shi is surnamed Hei. He is a Hui from Beijing. His family has been in the beef business for generations. He has a self-built cattle farm in Gansu. The boss has in-depth research on beef and is a beef consultant expert of the Ministry of Agriculture, so the quality of Niu Shi's beef can be guaranteed.
The restaurant's positioning is on the high-end side. The bottle of non-alcoholic grapefruit juice I drank costs 330 yuan a bottle. The per capita consumption here is more than 200 yuan. If you order some good beef, the price per customer can easily reach thousands.
This 200g piece of snowflake Wagyu beef is priced at 380 yuan. Although it is not cheap, it tastes fresh and juicy. When paired with the fruit sauce developed by the store, it is indeed a superior product.
to some expensive beef, there are also some friendly snacks in the store. If you are full only by eating meat, your wallet will be exhausted. It is recommended to pair it with some udon noodles, barbecue rice, ramen and other staple foods, which are not only affordable, but also delicious. The portions of these snacks are small and suitable for one person.
Udon noodles
There is no raw food such as sashimi at Gyuushi, because according to catering management regulations, the processing of raw food and cooked food must be strictly separated, which requires high kitchen space, so it is currently unable to make sashimi.
Private room, Japanese style, you need to take off your shoes, remember to clean your feet before coming. The restaurant moved to a new location this year, not far from the original location. Old customers, please take note.
7. JM Cafe bakes pizza
JM Cafe is an Internet celebrity coffee roasting chain brand that is very popular among young ladies. JM is the initials of the founder. The boss is from Xinjiang. The ingredients of all chain stores are controlled, and alcoholic beverages are not sold in the store.
You can eat chicken-flavored pizza at the JM Daji Lane store, and hot dogs at the JM Niujie store.
If you want to buy bread for baking, it is recommended to go to the Daji Lane store and the Baita Mosque store. The Niujie store sells coffee and hot dogs. There is usually a queue, and the door is crowded with ladies taking photos and checking in.
JM is a new fashionable restaurant that is completely different from traditional halal restaurants. It not only looks good, but also tastes very suitable for young people. The boss also attaches great importance to online operations and does a good job in marketing. This store does not sell alcoholic beverages, but it is still popular.
8. Sultan Turkish Restaurant
The original Kubei Turkish Restaurant was changed by the original team to the Sutan Turkish Restaurant at the original location. Sutan is a chain brand. I ate there once in Yiwu. It tasted very good. It can be said to be the ceiling of Chinese Turkish restaurants. It may be more delicious than what you have eaten in Turkey. At that time, there were not many people there not long after it opened. Recently, People say it has become an Internet celebrity store, and you have to queue for a long time.
Sutan's ice cream is Türkiye's famous ice cream brand MADO. It is made from goat's milk, without adding water, and has a rich milk flavor.
Beijing also has Dardanelle Turkish Restaurant, Desert Rose Turkish Restaurant, and Xiting Xiuse Turkish Restaurant, all of which are very good. Desert Rose and Dardanelle do not sell alcohol, but from a personal preference, Sutan has the best dining experience.
There are many types of Turkish breakfast in Sutan. You can choose a single or double set meal, and you can choose breakfast during the main meal time. Turkish people are accustomed to eating two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and one meal for half a day.
Balloon scones
MADO Thousand Crepe Ice Cream, four flavors to choose from
Just this MADO ice cream is worth checking out, the quality is higher than Haagen-Dazs.
The kitchen is bright and the stove is bright, and you can see the chef baking naan next to the stove.
Various Turkish desserts to accompany tea.
9. BRBR Syrian Restaurant
The only Syrian restaurant in Beijing, it has been open for many years. I have also witnessed this restaurant gradually expand from a small store to surrounding restaurants. People lined up to dine at lunch. Last year, BRBR opened a branch in Blue Harbor, and the business continues to be booming.
Syrian food is also Arabic food, and there are many Arab restaurants in Beijing. One Thousand and One Nights and AL Safir are very good Arab restaurants, and the staff are mainly Syrian and Palestinian Arabs.

Hummus sauce with pancakes
BRBR Comprehensive BBQ
Shawarma Rice
Blue Harbor Store
Ever since the Syrian restaurant caught fire in Wudaokou, Haidian, the owner has always wanted to open a branch in Chaoyang District. This time he finally got his wish. The branch was chosen on the second floor of the Blue Harbor shopping mall near McDonald's.
The Blue Harbor store is much larger, the decoration style is very particular, and the private rooms have a wider view than before.
The menu is exactly the same as the Wudaokou store, and the taste is basically the same.
I suddenly realized that Syrian barbecue and Zibo barbecue are the same thing. Syrian barbecue is also eaten with meat rolled in pancakes. The difference is that Zibo barbecue is rolled with shallots, while Syrian barbecue is rolled with onions.
kunafa
Syria and coffee have a close relationship. The world's first coffeehouse was opened in Istanbul in 1554 by two Syrians, one from Aleppo and one from Damascus. It was not until a hundred years later that France had the first coffeehouse in Europe.
Therefore, BRBR’s sand-boiled coffee is also worth trying. Next to the Wudaokou store is a cafe operated by BRBR.
There are exquisite coffee cups for sale in the store. We caught up with the opening day celebrations, and the proprietress gave a beautiful coffee cup to everyone who came to check in.
10. Hunan Yun Sichuan Hunan stir-fry
Huixiang Yun is the first halal restaurant in Beijing that specializes in Hunan cuisine. It is jointly run by a few young people from the northwest. Previously, there were two restaurants in Wangjing and Zuojiazhuang. Currently, only the Zuojiazhuang store is still open. Huixiang Yun is characterized by freshly fried dishes and hot pot atmosphere. It is also a non-smoking wine restaurant.
The menu prices are as shown in the picture. We basically ate all the dishes on the menu and highly recommend their Hunan cuisine series.
Spicy duck head, this duck head is not ordinary spicy, friends who can eat spicy food are welcome to challenge.
The duck head of this duck product is really spicy. I feel that Hunan people will definitely recognize the spiciness when they come here. The duck neck is not spicy and is suitable for snacks for watching dramas. These braised products can be taken out at the window.

People say Huixiang Yun has recently launched a few new dishes, but I haven’t had time to try them yet. The Zuojiazhuang store is next to Jinjiang Inn, and there is free parking at the door.
11. Bai Xiaobei Northeast BBQ
The only Qiqihar Halal BBQ restaurant in Beijing has been open for more than three years. Now it has opened a second branch in Wangjing. During the trial opening period, I organized partners to come and check in. The specialty of Northeastern barbecue is small skewers, which is different from Northeastern stir-fry dishes, which are large in quantity.
Shabu-shabu tripe
I actually don’t mind the small portion, because it allows you to eat more different flavors and avoid waste.
Stir-fried snails
After knocking off the tail of the snail, you can suck out the snail meat with just one sip, making it crispy, tender and chewy.
Fruit cold noodles, I have to say that the cold noodles in this store taste quite authentic, much better than the halal Yanji cold noodles introduced earlier.
The name of the skewers is Wu Xing Que Chuan. I don’t know what it means, but I can tell it’s beef and the yellow one is cheese.
This dish is called "Fuck Super Big Salad". It got its name because of the huge plate used. Northeastern people love to eat vegetables raw. This cold salad was given by the boss lady.
Grilled oysters and scallops are also indispensable. The ingredients are very fresh, but the price is not cheap.
Deep-sea saucer fish head, this fish has sharp teeth and a ferocious temperament. The more powerful the fish, the firmer and more delicious the meat is.
The fish skin has no fishy smell, which means it is very fresh and crispy in the mouth. The fish skin is a home-cooked specialty in Northeast China. I originally wanted to try grilled silkworm chrysalises, but my friends persuaded me not to do so because I was afraid.
Shenyang chicken rack is also a very famous Northeastern specialty. The chicken rack is fried until it is golden and crispy, and you can chew it even with the bones. This shop has a wide variety of small skewers, covering basically all Northeastern barbecue specialities. The price is also a little expensive, with per capita consumption of more than 150 yuan.
12. Mu Wenzhai Beef Hot Pot·Yunnan Cuisine
There are now three Yunnan restaurants in Beijing, each with its own characteristics. This is a Yunnan pickled cabbage hot pot opened by the Hui Muslims in Qujing, Yunnan in Wudaoying Hutong. The taste is very Yunnan. The other two restaurants are Dian Xinyuan, which specializes in Yunnan stir-fries, and Ganmaya Zhaotong Barbecue.
They have two specialties, one is beef hotpot in dry pot and the other is beef hotpot with pickled cabbage. I have eaten both and they are both delicious.
You can eat Shiping tofu in this hotpot, which is one of the specialties of Yunnan. I like the texture of this tofu very much.
This is ginger-handled melon, which tastes like pumpkin and is also a Yunnan specialty.
Yunnan beef is tender and chewy with less fat.
This is mango dipped in water from Shanshan, and everyone in Yunnan knows it.
Yunnan specialty flower cakes are also available, and their flower cakes can be taken away as souvenirs.
Red River Rice Noodles, put into the sauerkraut pot is a bowl of authentic sauerkraut and beef rice noodles.
The second floor of their house is a private room, and the decoration is also very artistic.
13. Lao Lan’s BBQ·Xi’an
The newly opened Xi'an Laolanjia BBQ restaurant in Tongzhou Kuche Town not only offers Xi'an specialty barbecue, but also Xi'an noodles.
Lao Lan's family also has a store in Xi'an, which has been open for more than 20 years.
I've been to their restaurant twice and tried all the main signature dishes. As for the barbecue, it's no different from the local ones in Xi'an.
The specialty of Xi'an's barbecue is this kind of small skewers with iron skewers. There are 10 skewers in a handful, and the taste is a bit salty.
Their eight-treasure porridge is delicious. The taste is quite bland and not particularly sweet.
Stir-fried yellow beef. This beef is cooked with starch. I prefer the stir-fried texture of Hunan cuisine.
As one of Xi'an's gourmet calling cards, the stir-fried steamed buns taste great.
Braised mochi is also a northwest specialty noodle dish. Mochi is noodle soup. This soup tastes good.
This dish is called Night Market Stir-fried Bean Sprouts. It is very refreshing and a delicious vegetarian dish with the flavor of a pot.
Shaanxi's special oily noodles are made from wide noodles, and they must be vegetarian to be delicious. The chili peppers on them are fragrant but not spicy.
Stir-fried beef with rice crispy rice crispy rice crispy rice. This dish is worth recommending.
The hot and sour shabu-shabu tripe is a bit salty. I prefer food with lighter taste now.
Guokui with chili sauce, this one is a great treat when you are hungry. The skin of the pot helmet is grilled to a crispy texture, and paired with the spicy chili sauce and chili, it is very satisfying.
14. KAVKAZ Ruilin Restaurant·Russian Caucasian cuisine
There is a Caucasian-style restaurant on Chaoyang Shenlu Street. There used to be an Azerbaijani restaurant called Buckley next door with a similar style, but it closed. Another halal Russian-style restaurant NAIL also closed. It is not easy for this restaurant to survive today.
beetroot soup
Russia's famous dish, red cabbage soup, is drunk before the main meal as an appetizer.
Grape leaf meat rolls
Grape leaf meat rolls, the outer skin is made of grape leaves and the inside is wrapped with beef filling. This dish is also a common delicacy in Central Asia.
Dumplings
Azerbaijani dumplings. Historically, people in the Caucasus have been eating dumplings for a long time. The dumplings they make are much smaller.
Caucasian soup dumplings
Azerbaijani soup dumplings, maybe because the boss is Azerbaijani, so most of the waiters in the store are Azerbaijani, and their Chinese is not very good, but their Chinese skills have improved in recent years.
15. Subha Almond Tofu
This is a halal snack bar opened by the Muslims in Beijing. Its signature features are almond tofu and electric skewers. As for the almond tofu, its ingredients are quite particular and the taste is first-rate. It is the best almond tofu I have ever eaten in Beijing.
I'm used to choosing the signature snacks when I visit a store, and almond tofu is a must-try. After eating it, I added a coffee cheese.
It costs 10 yuan a portion and comes with a small bag of sugar water, which is moderately sweet and has a sweet taste, not sticky or greasy.
The taste of coffee cheese is also dense and smooth. The store also sells a mini bottle of lemon tea with zero sugar. People say because the owner is more health-conscious, many products in the store do not add sugar, but the taste is also delicious and suitable for skewers.
I have tried both beef skewers and mutton tendons. I feel that mutton tendons are more tender and delicious than beef skewers.
He now has two stores, one in Qinghe and the other in Jiaodaokou. I have been to both stores, and I prefer the Jiaodaokou store. The skewers in the Qinghe store are slightly salty, while the Jiaodaokou store tastes just right, but the almond tofu tastes the same in both stores.
There are free parking spaces in front of the Qinghe store, which is convenient. There are only a few parking spaces on the side of Jiaodaokou road, which is not easy to park.
16. TRIBE GARDEN African Tribe Garden Restaurant·Ghana
A new halal restaurant with West African characteristics has opened on the basement floor of Sanlitun SOHO shopping mall 1, specializing in Ghanaian cuisine. The store clerks are all black Muslims, fluent in Chinese, and there is a Kenyan girl who is particularly cute.
Ghana is a country in West Africa with a Muslim population accounting for about 15%, but there is a unique mosque pattern on the national banknotes.
Larabanga Mosque
The Larabanga Mosque on the banknote was built between the 14th and 15th centuries. It is the oldest mosque in Ghana. The architectural style is unique to West Africa. It is built with yellow mud and wood and is very representative.
The decor of the restaurant is also very African-style, including the wall hangings.
African goat bibimbap
The African goat meat tastes a bit old, but not smelly, and the bibimbap tastes salty and spicy.
Alcohol-free mojito and fruit haji
African characteristic Ai Guxi
This dish is eaten with the tapioca puree pictured below. Eating the tapioca puree is like eating rice cakes.
apply
The white one is called Fufu, which in Chinese translates to rice flour paste, which is the staple food of Ghanaians.

17. Kamaya Zhaotong BBQ Beef Rice Noodles
A new Yunnan specialty barbecue restaurant has opened in Beijing. Ganmaya is a well-known local brand in Zhaotong.
We checked in on the first day of the trial opening and had Yunnan-style hot pot chicken and barbecue.
Zhaotong's specialty barbecue is very popular in Yunnan, and its taste is spicy.
Their most outstanding feature is the beef rice noodles in fresh soup. You can taste the freshness of the beef soup. This bowl of rice noodles is very Yunnan.
18. Jiji·Tan Yang Hot Pot
Jiji is a chain store, with one store in Gulou, one on Qingnian Road, and one in Wangjing. The decoration styles of the three stores are completely different, but they are all high-end and elegant. The environments of the Qingnian Road and Wangjing stores are particularly fresh and refined. The places are much larger than the Gulou store, and the parking spaces are sufficient and free.
As soon as you enter the yard, you first pass through a bamboo forest. There will be clouds and mist on both sides of the path, just like a fairyland.
The yard is filled with flowers and green plants, including brightly colored hydrangeas.
There is an open-air terrace in the yard, as well as tents and private rooms. Each tent has air conditioning, lights and sound.
There is also a hall in the house, but in summer everyone likes to sit in the yard and enjoy the flowers and delicious food.
The dining table in the tent private room is equipped with a microphone sound effect. If you speak close to the table, you can hear the echo, which is convenient for chatting.
This restaurant is one of the top halal restaurants in Beijing. The per capita consumption is between 400 and 500 yuan. The restaurant charges per person. Currently it only provides hot pot and can host wedding banquets. It can host about 150 people. Wedding banquets are also charged per person. On average, a wedding of 100 people only costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is very cost-effective in Beijing.
The courtyard of Jiji Drum Tower is another classical style. You can sit on the terrace and eat hot pot with the Drum Tower behind you.
As the sun sets, the scene of eating hot pot with the Drum Tower behind is beautiful. Oriental Selection has also come here to broadcast live.
All the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. Just wait for the waiter to serve you in order. Each private room has a full-time waiter to provide attentive service. The order of serving is drinks, cold dishes, hot dishes, staple dishes and desserts. If you like to eat during the period, you can add dishes separately at no extra charge. It is equivalent to spending three to five hundred for a high-end buffet, so it is not expensive.
19. Baoding Beef Pancake
I drove to Miyun before to have a meal of halal pancakes. This time I learned that a halal pancake shop had opened in Baiziwan, so I came to try it out. The taste was better than the store in Miyun. Now this shop has opened a branch in Daxing.
One covers two, one represents one ounce of meat, and two represents two ounces of cake. I chose the single set meal with two covers and three, which means two ounces of beef and three ounces of cake. Their store has just opened, and they haven’t filled up the restaurant yet. They only have pancakes and braised chicken. Braised chicken is also a specialty of Baoding. At the Daxing store, you can enjoy Hebei’s characteristic fish-flavored shredded pork.
I've also had cupcakes in Baoding, and I can say that the taste is basically the same as this one.
20. Maiden Tower Restaurant·Azerbaijan
There is a restaurant on the third floor of the Azerbaijan National Brand Pavilion called Maiden Tower, which is a tourist attraction in Azerbaijan. This is also the only Azerbaijani halal restaurant in Beijing, so it is worth recording.
The restaurant is located inside the exhibition hall, and you can enjoy Azerbaijani national handicrafts while eating.
Many Azerbaijani chefs work abroad, and many of the Turkish restaurants we often eat at are run by Azerbaijanis.
The dishes in this store are all to our taste, including these snacks, which are also suitable for babies.
Eggplant roll with fragrant milk
Jellyfish Grilled Chicken
Beef rice with chestnut and pomegranate sauce
nut cake
The restaurant is located near Sanyuan Bridge, and the per capita consumption is about 150 yuan. It is suitable for business banquets and dates.
21. Alkhaleej Mandi Kitchen Bay Mandi Restaurant
This is a Dubai halal restaurant that has just opened in Sanlitun. The owner of this restaurant is an Arab from Dubai and has a store in Dubai. According to the store clerk, the ingredients in the store are also imported from the Middle East. After eating it, I said that this is true because this store reminds me of the taste of the mandi I had in Mecca last year. It can be said that it restores the Middle Eastern flavor one to one.
this is a non-alcoholic restaurant. I am more worried about whether this restaurant can continue to operate for a long time, because the owner does not care about costs. However, the catering market in Beijing is relatively sluggish this year. Even in Sanlitun on weekends, there is not much traffic.
In the store, you can taste the agarwood aroma familiar from the Middle East.
The small cup of Arabic milk tea given by the waiter tasted exactly like the one I drank in Abu Dhabi.
The handmade Yemeni pancakes, served with a variety of dipping sauces, are especially delicious. The chefs are all Arabs from the Middle East.
Desert Colorful Chicken Mandy
Yemeni specialty handmade scones are very delicious, rich in wheat flavor, and very large.
Royal pastry, which tastes like glutinous rice and contains bananas. This dessert is not sweet at all.
Mutton Mandi
Grilled fish with rice. The grilled fish itself has no flavor and needs to be eaten with three kinds of dipping sauces.
The taste of Mandi is amazing, the chicken inside is stewed extremely soft, and the color of the rice is due to the addition of spices.
22. Shunhexiang Mosque Restaurant·Harbin
The newly opened Harbin halal restaurant in Tongzhou, Shunhexiang is a chain brand in Harbin, and it is the first time to open a store in Beijing.
Shun Hexiang's stir-fries are of a very high standard, and this restaurant is currently the one with the highest level of halal Northeastern stir-fries in Beijing.
I chose dried tofu with hot pepper, a Northeastern specialty home-cooked dish, delicious.
Majiagou celery mixed with sea urchin is also delicious, cool and refreshing, sweet and sour.
The beef shaomai is also cooked very well, but as far as shaomai is concerned, I prefer the joint-venture Inner Mongolia shaomai.
You can also choose from their Guobao Pork. We had the sweet and sour version, which was normal.
Di Sanxian is also a common dish in Northeast China. The total price of these items is only 200 yuan, and the portion is moderate, enough for two people.
23. Eli Falafel·Lebanon
This Lebanese restaurant is a chain brand in Shanghai. It is the first time to open a branch in Beijing. I have been to the store in Shanghai, but I think the store in Beijing has better food and a higher-end environment.
The menu has the halal logo and a wide variety of dishes.
This store is on the first floor of an official building. There are plenty of parking spaces in the underground parking lot, but there are no parking discounts.
The restaurant has a bright kitchen and a bright stove, and most of the diners are foreigners.
The manager sent a baklava dessert.
Kabu mutton pilaf tastes delicious, the mutton is very tender, and there are pomegranate seeds in it. This portion is 118 yuan.
The dessert counter sells ice cream and dessert gift boxes.
24. Buying and selling red beef noodles·Henan
Don’t underestimate this shaved noodle shop. I will drive 40 minutes from Niujie to Haidian to eat this bowl of noodles. The Hongjia beef shaved noodles are definitely worth checking out. If you like this kind of food, you can’t go wrong here.
This restaurant is opened by the Hui Muslims from Jiaozuo, Henan. The cold dishes in the restaurant are also special. During breakfast time, you can also enjoy spicy spicy soup, which is Xiaoyao Town style with less spiciness and is suitable for Beijingers.
Another specialty of their house is beef buns, which are not fried buns, but big steamed buns, which you can also eat in the morning.
I had a piece of Tuhao Beef Sliced Noodles. There was a lot of meat, the soup was thick and the meat was chewy, and the noodles were chewy.
After selecting the cold dishes, take them to the kitchen and mix them with the ingredients to keep the freshness and taste.
25. Joint venture Shaomai·Prairie red pomegranate·Mongolian meal
Ulanqab Famous Store jointly operates Shaomai and opened a flagship store in Qianmen, which specializes in halal Mongolian food.
I highly recommend their Inner Mongolia pot tea, which is brewed and drunk immediately. It contains milk tofu and beef jerky.
Mongolian sausage and hand-made meat are also signature dishes, and all the ingredients come from Inner Mongolia.
Shaomai is the staple food of his restaurant. The kitchen is bright and the stove is bright, and it is made on site. My favorite is the lamb hind leg siomai.
The most expensive dish is the roasted whole lamb, which costs 2,000 yuan each. The price is actually not bad. The meat of the roasted whole lamb is very tender and the skin is crispy.
You can also watch Mongolian dance while eating.
This stir-fried lamb with scallions is also delicious.
Inner Mongolia's Guobao Pork uses beef strips, which is sweet and sour.
The lamb and scorpion pot has a light taste, neither salty nor bland. You can add meat after eating the scorpions. This taste is more suitable for the elderly and children.
There are private rooms and a terrace on the second floor of his house, where you can have parties. The space is large and there is an underground parking lot. The average consumption per person is only 100 yuan.
26. 3.69 million halal beef brisket pot·Cantonese cuisine
This restaurant not only provides Cantonese-style Qingyuan Chicken Pot, Beef Brisket and Beef Offal Pot, Tianhu Chicken Pot, but also Cantonese refreshments. It is currently the only halal Cantonese restaurant in Beijing.
Claypot rice
Claypot rice is also a new dish. This dish needs to be cooked freshly and wait for 25 minutes. The rice is made of Thai fragrant rice and topped with beef sausage. You can choose to add different grams of sausage according to your own taste.
The curry fish balls are very delicious. According to the owner, he developed them himself. The owner is a Hui from Shandong and the son of an imam. A group of 12 of us ate the new morning tea menu twice, with an average consumption of about 120 yuan per person.
27. Guli Momo Shrimp
Guli Momo Shrimp is an Internet celebrity brand shrimp chain chain in Xinjiang, and now it has opened in Beijing. It's on the ground floor of Heshenghui, and the business is very good.
Their prawns are very fresh and large. Underneath the prawns are Xinjiang rice noodles. You can add water to rinse the vegetables after eating.
The rice is free and can be refilled endlessly. Because their shrimps are very spicy, even if they are mildly spicy, rice is a must.
The red one is Kavas, which is pomegranate flavored. There are two types of Kavas available in his family.
28. Yang Ji Qiqihar Barbecue
Yangji Daqi Barbeque is also considered an Internet celebrity store in Shanghai. People say there are now 60 chain stores, some directly operated and franchised.
This is the first store in Beijing. The owner is from Qiqihar, and he started out as a street stall barbecue.
I think the specialty of his restaurant is its affordability. A group purchase of a set meal for two for 198 is basically full of meat, and the service is very good. There are people helping grill the whole process, and all requests are answered.
We all love eating this small sausage.
When I eat Daqi barbecue, I usually only choose beef. I think this type of sizzling barbecue tastes better with beef than mutton.
He also sells Northeastern frozen pears. Since it is located in Wudaokou, where there are many students, the price is also cheap, and you have to queue up to eat.
29. Yeondu BBQ·Korean style
There is a Korean barbecue restaurant in Fangshan Dou Branch. The quality is very good, and the price/performance ratio exceeds that of Chang Ying's. The average price per person is about 80 yuan.
However, due to various reasons, the current Japanese and Korean cuisines are downplaying their Japanese and Korean attributes. Although the barbecue in this restaurant is Korean style, it also adds Japanese food such as sushi.
The three-person set meal was enough to fill us up, and there were also sushi, bibimbap, and cold noodles to choose from.
The bibimbap has a wide variety of ingredients, tastes good, and the service from the merchants is attentive.
30. Al Safir Arabic Restaurant
This store has been open in Beijing for more than ten years, and its products have always been very stable. The owner is a Palestinian, fluent in Chinese, devout in faith, and there is no alcohol in the restaurant.
One time, the boss, I, and several Arabs were drinking tea in the store. During this period, an old Arab admitted that he had not prayed on time. When he was about to explain, the boss retorted and said that he should not make any excuses. It was wrong for not praying on time and he should not say anything.
The boss's mother lives in Jordan, which hosts the largest number of Palestinian refugees. He once brought his mother to live in Beijing for a while, but her mother felt that she couldn't hear the five prayers every day in Beijing, so she felt unaccustomed to it, so she returned to Jordan.
It is a foreign restaurant that has been able to last for more than ten years. It does not sell alcohol, so there is no need to doubt the taste of the dishes. Moreover, this restaurant is relatively cheap among the Arab restaurants in Beijing, with per capita consumption of about 100 yuan.
31. Merv Turkmenistan
Merv is a Turkmenistan-style halal restaurant. There is also a Turkmenistan restaurant called ASIAN FOOD in Changping, Beijing. Merv is an ancient city in Turkmenistan that is included in the World Cultural Heritage List. The restaurant’s sign is the Turkmenistan flag.
We came to try this restaurant on the first day it opened. The owner is from Turkmenistan and can speak Chinese. This restaurant does not sell alcohol.
The menu is available in Chinese, Russian and English. to Turkmenistan specialties, there are also Russian, Turkish, Kazakhstani and other Central Asian delicacies.
It's called red cabbage soup on the menu, also called beef soup. It's made with beef and cabbage and is relatively light.
This crispy baked bun is very filling. It contains large pieces of mutton and skin sprouts. The outer skin is crispy. The crispy skin is a characteristic of Central Asian baked buns. It is very appetizing when paired with pickled cucumbers. I also like to eat pickled cucumbers.
We ordered two types of barbecue, one was fried lamb chops and the other was roast beef. These two types of barbecue were relatively salty, but the grilled fries that came with the meal were delicious and had a unique aroma.
The cheese scones are filled with salty cheese. They are delicious and recommended.
A kind of bun that is very similar to a thin-skin bun, but the skin is thicker. There is a piece of butter in the middle of the plate, which is used to dip the bun. It is also paired with a cup of plain yogurt. Turkmen people are accustomed to adding yogurt to the bun.
32. The shepherd boy herding cows·Pingliang steamed buns
This is a Pingliang-style beef restaurant. Pingliang is a place that mainly eats beef.
Pingliang beef steamed buns, the steamed buns are cooked, paired with a bowl of beef soup, which contains large pieces of beef and vermicelli. To eat steamed buns, you need to break off a piece of steamed bun and take one bite. Do not soak it for a long time.
The beef soup used in their steamed buns is really delicious.
Their fried noodles are also delicious.
This dish is called Braised Steak, which is also a Pingliang specialty. The steak is stewed soft and has a sweet taste.
This is a small BBQ beef skewer worth a try.
Summary: This 2026 Beijing halal restaurant must-eat list updates the author's 2024 guide and covers the city's huge range of halal food, from Sichuan hot pot and Yunnan beef to Hui Muslim snacks, noodles, barbecue, roast duck, lamb, and regional Chinese Muslim dishes.
The last time I wrote a must-eat list was in 2024. In two years, the list has changed again. Some stores have closed down, but new ones have been added. As time goes by, I still believe that Beijing’s value as a city with the most diverse halal cuisine in the world is still rising. It has surpassed Shanghai and Guangzhou. After Beijing, it should be Kuala Lumpur. In recent years, more and more Chinese have opened stores in Kuala Lumpur. They have brought delicacies from their hometowns and made halal improvements.
Facing the serious involution of the catering market, the traditional halal catering business model can no longer adapt to market demand. Halal catering does need to make changes, break the original business model, and introduce advanced management concepts. In the past few years, although many catering people have complained that it is not easy to make money, there are still a few restaurants that can buck the trend and break through. This is an era that truly tests the comprehensive strength of catering people, and those who can survive are the elites.
In order to control the length, only one restaurant from each cuisine is selected and introduced in no particular order.
1. Niubi·Sichuan Hotpot
Niu Bu Bi is a halal chain store from Sichuan. The first time I ate Niu Bu Bi was in Chengdu in 2016. It was the first time I ate authentic halal Chengdu hot pot. I queued for more than two hours at the time, but I thought it was very worth it. Later I tried it again I ate at the Xining branch (which has since closed down) and I couldn’t forget it after I returned to Beijing. Now you can have the taste of Chengdu at your doorstep. After the opening of Metro Line 19, you can go directly from Niujie to Niubi, which means there is one less reason to go to Chengdu.
Today, there are more than one Sichuan-style hotpot in Beijing. Junbang Hotpot in Xinjiang Building is Sichuan-flavored. Junbang and Xihan Meatball Soup are owned by the same owner. The environment and service are also great, but Niubi is still the number one Sichuan-style halal hotpot in my mind.
The restaurant is located on the second floor of Quanpin Jinsha in Peony Garden. The place is spacious and the decoration design is said to be by Hui designers.
The boss of Niu Bubi is a local Hui from Sichuan, and the chef of Niu Bubi is also a Sichuan Hui who is good at cooking Sichuan cuisine.
ice powder
Ice powder is a must-have dessert for Sichuan hot pot. It is mainly used to relieve the spiciness. It is cool and sour.
duck intestines
Duck intestines and tripe are must-have dishes in Chengdu hot pot. The duck intestines will be cooked after being soaked in water.
Hairy belly
Shabu-shabu tripe is a signature feature. Fresh tripe can be cooked in just a few seconds, commonly known as "seven up and eight down", otherwise the taste will be stale.
Small crispy pork
Freshly fried crispy pork is also one of the standard snacks of Sichuan hot pot. The beef tastes tender and crispy.
Brown sugar glutinous rice cake
Unlike some stores that buy ready-made brown sugar glutinous rice cakes for heating, Niubi's brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are made on site to ensure the best taste.
Why is the name of the store called "Niu Bu Bi"? It means that their beef does not need to be compared with others. It also has a transliterated meaning of "Niubi", but Niu Bubi is indeed awesome in the reputation of its partners.
2. Khotan rose rice pilaf·Xinjiang
Hotan Rose is a Xinjiang halal restaurant that only serves pilaf. It has a chain store in Urumqi. This store opened in Yizhuang in 2025 and quickly became a local Internet celebrity restaurant.
The signature pilaf won unanimous praise from people around me. to the pilaf, the store also offers grilled buns, thin-skin buns, and three free side dishes.
Their free side dishes are particularly delicious.
The mutton and oil are shipped from Xinjiang, and the rice comes from Heilongjiang in the northeast.
The kitchen is full of Uyghurs, and the lamb leg pilaf in this restaurant is quite impressive. I arrived late, and there was only one leg of lamb left. The leg of lamb was very soft and delicious, and the pilaf was also fragrant. It can be said that it is the ceiling of pilaf in Xinjiang restaurants in Beijing.
3. Italian Firenze Western Restaurant
The first halal Italian-themed restaurant in Beijing. This restaurant was originally an Italian restaurant, but it was poorly managed. Now it was taken over by Bati, which still retains the Italian flavor and added Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Because I have recommended his Indian and Pakistani cuisine before, which is the China-Pakistan Friendship Restaurant, so this time I combined them into one and only introduced this new restaurant.
The lamb chops and pasta are very Italian. It’s rare to eat such authentic halal Italian food in Beijing.
Just look at the crispy balls that accompany this dish, and you know that the background of the chef is revealed.
The store specializes in orange juice American style. He insists on the non-alcoholic feature of Bati Restaurant. In summer, you can sit in the small garden of the yard and have barbecue. The average consumption per person is 100+
4. Wanfu Halal Iron Pot Stew
The Harbin Halal Iron Pot Stew in Daxing tastes very good and feels better than Uncle Oyster. There is another recommended halal iron pot stew restaurant in Beijing called Zou Yishou, but due to the lack of Northeastern stir-fry dishes in Zou Yishou, it is inferior to Wanfu.
to the iron pot stew, their most surprising thing is that they have pot-wrapped meat, and there are several ways to cook it. You can make chicken or beef, and you can choose sweet or savory.
This is called a sticky roll. You don't need to bake the dough. Just put it into the pot, simmer and steam it for 15 minutes and then you can eat it. It's very fragrant.
The boss gave me the stone-ground tofu. The tofu was made by myself. It was served with braised vegetables and other ingredients. It felt like eating tofu puffs, and it was also delicious.
We added dried beans and dried potatoes to the iron pot. These two ingredients are more delicious after being stewed than fresh.
The Hui Muslims's Guobao Pork in Harbin is salty. Their Guobao Pork is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. We finished a plate in just a few times. Beijing can finally eat authentic salty Guobao Pork again.
5. La Medina Tunisian Restaurant
Tunisia and Morocco both belong to the Maghreb region of North Africa. They are basically similar in terms of eating habits, which can make up for the lack of Moroccan restaurants. It is somewhat beyond my expectation that this restaurant can persist to this day.
This restaurant has also changed locations in the past two years, from small to large. The chef is a Tunisian Arab. We talked together and confirmed that it is a halal restaurant, but there is no sign. In China, if you want to apply for halal certification, you must get approval from the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, otherwise individuals cannot hang up the halal sign with Chinese characters.
Classic Moroccan Bean Soup
couscous Tunisian millet rice
The most distinctive thing about Tunisia is this millet dish, which is called millet. It tastes like millet, but it is not made of millet, but a kind of grain made from ground hard wheat grains.
Tunisian pie
shakshuka eggs sizzling shakshuka eggs
Beef wheat buns
Those who know the nozzle in the bathroom will naturally know what it is used for.
6. Beef Roast Pork Specialty Shop·Japanese Cuisine
It has been about 6 years since Gyuushi Yakiniku opened in Beijing. There were three stores before, but now only the main CBD store remains. Due to some reasons, the CBD store moved last year, and the new store is not far from the original location. But this is no longer the only halal Japanese restaurant in Beijing. Daxing has opened a new one, Sun Moon Star Wagyu Roast Pork.
The boss of Niu Shi is surnamed Hei. He is a Hui from Beijing. His family has been in the beef business for generations. He has a self-built cattle farm in Gansu. The boss has in-depth research on beef and is a beef consultant expert of the Ministry of Agriculture, so the quality of Niu Shi's beef can be guaranteed.
The restaurant's positioning is on the high-end side. The bottle of non-alcoholic grapefruit juice I drank costs 330 yuan a bottle. The per capita consumption here is more than 200 yuan. If you order some good beef, the price per customer can easily reach thousands.
This 200g piece of snowflake Wagyu beef is priced at 380 yuan. Although it is not cheap, it tastes fresh and juicy. When paired with the fruit sauce developed by the store, it is indeed a superior product.
to some expensive beef, there are also some friendly snacks in the store. If you are full only by eating meat, your wallet will be exhausted. It is recommended to pair it with some udon noodles, barbecue rice, ramen and other staple foods, which are not only affordable, but also delicious. The portions of these snacks are small and suitable for one person.
Udon noodles
There is no raw food such as sashimi at Gyuushi, because according to catering management regulations, the processing of raw food and cooked food must be strictly separated, which requires high kitchen space, so it is currently unable to make sashimi.
Private room, Japanese style, you need to take off your shoes, remember to clean your feet before coming. The restaurant moved to a new location this year, not far from the original location. Old customers, please take note.
7. JM Cafe bakes pizza
JM Cafe is an Internet celebrity coffee roasting chain brand that is very popular among young ladies. JM is the initials of the founder. The boss is from Xinjiang. The ingredients of all chain stores are controlled, and alcoholic beverages are not sold in the store.
You can eat chicken-flavored pizza at the JM Daji Lane store, and hot dogs at the JM Niujie store.
If you want to buy bread for baking, it is recommended to go to the Daji Lane store and the Baita Mosque store. The Niujie store sells coffee and hot dogs. There is usually a queue, and the door is crowded with ladies taking photos and checking in.
JM is a new fashionable restaurant that is completely different from traditional halal restaurants. It not only looks good, but also tastes very suitable for young people. The boss also attaches great importance to online operations and does a good job in marketing. This store does not sell alcoholic beverages, but it is still popular.
8. Sultan Turkish Restaurant
The original Kubei Turkish Restaurant was changed by the original team to the Sutan Turkish Restaurant at the original location. Sutan is a chain brand. I ate there once in Yiwu. It tasted very good. It can be said to be the ceiling of Chinese Turkish restaurants. It may be more delicious than what you have eaten in Turkey. At that time, there were not many people there not long after it opened. Recently, People say it has become an Internet celebrity store, and you have to queue for a long time.
Sutan's ice cream is Türkiye's famous ice cream brand MADO. It is made from goat's milk, without adding water, and has a rich milk flavor.
Beijing also has Dardanelle Turkish Restaurant, Desert Rose Turkish Restaurant, and Xiting Xiuse Turkish Restaurant, all of which are very good. Desert Rose and Dardanelle do not sell alcohol, but from a personal preference, Sutan has the best dining experience.
There are many types of Turkish breakfast in Sutan. You can choose a single or double set meal, and you can choose breakfast during the main meal time. Turkish people are accustomed to eating two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and one meal for half a day.
Balloon scones
MADO Thousand Crepe Ice Cream, four flavors to choose from
Just this MADO ice cream is worth checking out, the quality is higher than Haagen-Dazs.
The kitchen is bright and the stove is bright, and you can see the chef baking naan next to the stove.
Various Turkish desserts to accompany tea.
9. BRBR Syrian Restaurant
The only Syrian restaurant in Beijing, it has been open for many years. I have also witnessed this restaurant gradually expand from a small store to surrounding restaurants. People lined up to dine at lunch. Last year, BRBR opened a branch in Blue Harbor, and the business continues to be booming.
Syrian food is also Arabic food, and there are many Arab restaurants in Beijing. One Thousand and One Nights and AL Safir are very good Arab restaurants, and the staff are mainly Syrian and Palestinian Arabs.
Honey Candy Thousand-feuille Pastry
Hummus sauce with pancakes
BRBR Comprehensive BBQ
Shawarma Rice
Blue Harbor Store
Ever since the Syrian restaurant caught fire in Wudaokou, Haidian, the owner has always wanted to open a branch in Chaoyang District. This time he finally got his wish. The branch was chosen on the second floor of the Blue Harbor shopping mall near McDonald's.
The Blue Harbor store is much larger, the decoration style is very particular, and the private rooms have a wider view than before.
The menu is exactly the same as the Wudaokou store, and the taste is basically the same.
I suddenly realized that Syrian barbecue and Zibo barbecue are the same thing. Syrian barbecue is also eaten with meat rolled in pancakes. The difference is that Zibo barbecue is rolled with shallots, while Syrian barbecue is rolled with onions.
kunafa
Syria and coffee have a close relationship. The world's first coffeehouse was opened in Istanbul in 1554 by two Syrians, one from Aleppo and one from Damascus. It was not until a hundred years later that France had the first coffeehouse in Europe.
Therefore, BRBR’s sand-boiled coffee is also worth trying. Next to the Wudaokou store is a cafe operated by BRBR.
There are exquisite coffee cups for sale in the store. We caught up with the opening day celebrations, and the proprietress gave a beautiful coffee cup to everyone who came to check in.
10. Hunan Yun Sichuan Hunan stir-fry
Huixiang Yun is the first halal restaurant in Beijing that specializes in Hunan cuisine. It is jointly run by a few young people from the northwest. Previously, there were two restaurants in Wangjing and Zuojiazhuang. Currently, only the Zuojiazhuang store is still open. Huixiang Yun is characterized by freshly fried dishes and hot pot atmosphere. It is also a non-smoking wine restaurant.
The menu prices are as shown in the picture. We basically ate all the dishes on the menu and highly recommend their Hunan cuisine series.
Spicy duck head, this duck head is not ordinary spicy, friends who can eat spicy food are welcome to challenge.
The duck head of this duck product is really spicy. I feel that Hunan people will definitely recognize the spiciness when they come here. The duck neck is not spicy and is suitable for snacks for watching dramas. These braised products can be taken out at the window.

People say Huixiang Yun has recently launched a few new dishes, but I haven’t had time to try them yet. The Zuojiazhuang store is next to Jinjiang Inn, and there is free parking at the door.
11. Bai Xiaobei Northeast BBQ
The only Qiqihar Halal BBQ restaurant in Beijing has been open for more than three years. Now it has opened a second branch in Wangjing. During the trial opening period, I organized partners to come and check in. The specialty of Northeastern barbecue is small skewers, which is different from Northeastern stir-fry dishes, which are large in quantity.
Shabu-shabu tripe
I actually don’t mind the small portion, because it allows you to eat more different flavors and avoid waste.
Stir-fried snails
After knocking off the tail of the snail, you can suck out the snail meat with just one sip, making it crispy, tender and chewy.
Fruit cold noodles, I have to say that the cold noodles in this store taste quite authentic, much better than the halal Yanji cold noodles introduced earlier.
The name of the skewers is Wu Xing Que Chuan. I don’t know what it means, but I can tell it’s beef and the yellow one is cheese.
This dish is called "Fuck Super Big Salad". It got its name because of the huge plate used. Northeastern people love to eat vegetables raw. This cold salad was given by the boss lady.
Grilled oysters and scallops are also indispensable. The ingredients are very fresh, but the price is not cheap.
Deep-sea saucer fish head, this fish has sharp teeth and a ferocious temperament. The more powerful the fish, the firmer and more delicious the meat is.
The fish skin has no fishy smell, which means it is very fresh and crispy in the mouth. The fish skin is a home-cooked specialty in Northeast China. I originally wanted to try grilled silkworm chrysalises, but my friends persuaded me not to do so because I was afraid.
Shenyang chicken rack is also a very famous Northeastern specialty. The chicken rack is fried until it is golden and crispy, and you can chew it even with the bones. This shop has a wide variety of small skewers, covering basically all Northeastern barbecue specialities. The price is also a little expensive, with per capita consumption of more than 150 yuan.
12. Mu Wenzhai Beef Hot Pot·Yunnan Cuisine
There are now three Yunnan restaurants in Beijing, each with its own characteristics. This is a Yunnan pickled cabbage hot pot opened by the Hui Muslims in Qujing, Yunnan in Wudaoying Hutong. The taste is very Yunnan. The other two restaurants are Dian Xinyuan, which specializes in Yunnan stir-fries, and Ganmaya Zhaotong Barbecue.
They have two specialties, one is beef hotpot in dry pot and the other is beef hotpot with pickled cabbage. I have eaten both and they are both delicious.
You can eat Shiping tofu in this hotpot, which is one of the specialties of Yunnan. I like the texture of this tofu very much.
This is ginger-handled melon, which tastes like pumpkin and is also a Yunnan specialty.
Yunnan beef is tender and chewy with less fat.
This is mango dipped in water from Shanshan, and everyone in Yunnan knows it.
Yunnan specialty flower cakes are also available, and their flower cakes can be taken away as souvenirs.

The second floor of their house is a private room, and the decoration is also very artistic.
13. Lao Lan’s BBQ·Xi’an
The newly opened Xi'an Laolanjia BBQ restaurant in Tongzhou Kuche Town not only offers Xi'an specialty barbecue, but also Xi'an noodles.
Lao Lan's family also has a store in Xi'an, which has been open for more than 20 years.
I've been to their restaurant twice and tried all the main signature dishes. As for the barbecue, it's no different from the local ones in Xi'an.
The specialty of Xi'an's barbecue is this kind of small skewers with iron skewers. There are 10 skewers in a handful, and the taste is a bit salty.
Their eight-treasure porridge is delicious. The taste is quite bland and not particularly sweet.
Stir-fried yellow beef. This beef is cooked with starch. I prefer the stir-fried texture of Hunan cuisine.
As one of Xi'an's gourmet calling cards, the stir-fried steamed buns taste great.
Braised mochi is also a northwest specialty noodle dish. Mochi is noodle soup. This soup tastes good.
This dish is called Night Market Stir-fried Bean Sprouts. It is very refreshing and a delicious vegetarian dish with the flavor of a pot.
Shaanxi's special oily noodles are made from wide noodles, and they must be vegetarian to be delicious. The chili peppers on them are fragrant but not spicy.
Stir-fried beef with rice crispy rice crispy rice crispy rice. This dish is worth recommending.
The hot and sour shabu-shabu tripe is a bit salty. I prefer food with lighter taste now.
Guokui with chili sauce, this one is a great treat when you are hungry. The skin of the pot helmet is grilled to a crispy texture, and paired with the spicy chili sauce and chili, it is very satisfying.
14. KAVKAZ Ruilin Restaurant·Russian Caucasian cuisine
There is a Caucasian-style restaurant on Chaoyang Shenlu Street. There used to be an Azerbaijani restaurant called Buckley next door with a similar style, but it closed. Another halal Russian-style restaurant NAIL also closed. It is not easy for this restaurant to survive today.

Grape leaf meat rolls
Grape leaf meat rolls, the outer skin is made of grape leaves and the inside is wrapped with beef filling. This dish is also a common delicacy in Central Asia.
Dumplings
Azerbaijani dumplings. Historically, people in the Caucasus have been eating dumplings for a long time. The dumplings they make are much smaller.
Caucasian soup dumplings
Azerbaijani soup dumplings, maybe because the boss is Azerbaijani, so most of the waiters in the store are Azerbaijani, and their Chinese is not very good, but their Chinese skills have improved in recent years.
15. Subha Almond Tofu
This is a halal snack bar opened by the Muslims in Beijing. Its signature features are almond tofu and electric skewers. As for the almond tofu, its ingredients are quite particular and the taste is first-rate. It is the best almond tofu I have ever eaten in Beijing.
I'm used to choosing the signature snacks when I visit a store, and almond tofu is a must-try. After eating it, I added a coffee cheese.
It costs 10 yuan a portion and comes with a small bag of sugar water, which is moderately sweet and has a sweet taste, not sticky or greasy.
The taste of coffee cheese is also dense and smooth. The store also sells a mini bottle of lemon tea with zero sugar. People say because the owner is more health-conscious, many products in the store do not add sugar, but the taste is also delicious and suitable for skewers.
I have tried both beef skewers and mutton tendons. I feel that mutton tendons are more tender and delicious than beef skewers.
He now has two stores, one in Qinghe and the other in Jiaodaokou. I have been to both stores, and I prefer the Jiaodaokou store. The skewers in the Qinghe store are slightly salty, while the Jiaodaokou store tastes just right, but the almond tofu tastes the same in both stores.
There are free parking spaces in front of the Qinghe store, which is convenient. There are only a few parking spaces on the side of Jiaodaokou road, which is not easy to park.
16. TRIBE GARDEN African Tribe Garden Restaurant·Ghana
A new halal restaurant with West African characteristics has opened on the basement floor of Sanlitun SOHO shopping mall 1, specializing in Ghanaian cuisine. The store clerks are all black Muslims, fluent in Chinese, and there is a Kenyan girl who is particularly cute.

The Larabanga Mosque on the banknote was built between the 14th and 15th centuries. It is the oldest mosque in Ghana. The architectural style is unique to West Africa. It is built with yellow mud and wood and is very representative.
The decor of the restaurant is also very African-style, including the wall hangings.

Their most outstanding feature is the beef rice noodles in fresh soup. You can taste the freshness of the beef soup. This bowl of rice noodles is very Yunnan.
18. Jiji·Tan Yang Hot Pot
Jiji is a chain store, with one store in Gulou, one on Qingnian Road, and one in Wangjing. The decoration styles of the three stores are completely different, but they are all high-end and elegant. The environments of the Qingnian Road and Wangjing stores are particularly fresh and refined. The places are much larger than the Gulou store, and the parking spaces are sufficient and free.
As soon as you enter the yard, you first pass through a bamboo forest. There will be clouds and mist on both sides of the path, just like a fairyland.
The yard is filled with flowers and green plants, including brightly colored hydrangeas.
There is an open-air terrace in the yard, as well as tents and private rooms. Each tent has air conditioning, lights and sound.
There is also a hall in the house, but in summer everyone likes to sit in the yard and enjoy the flowers and delicious food.
The dining table in the tent private room is equipped with a microphone sound effect. If you speak close to the table, you can hear the echo, which is convenient for chatting.
This restaurant is one of the top halal restaurants in Beijing. The per capita consumption is between 400 and 500 yuan. The restaurant charges per person. Currently it only provides hot pot and can host wedding banquets. It can host about 150 people. Wedding banquets are also charged per person. On average, a wedding of 100 people only costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is very cost-effective in Beijing.
The courtyard of Jiji Drum Tower is another classical style. You can sit on the terrace and eat hot pot with the Drum Tower behind you.
As the sun sets, the scene of eating hot pot with the Drum Tower behind is beautiful. Oriental Selection has also come here to broadcast live.
All the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. Just wait for the waiter to serve you in order. Each private room has a full-time waiter to provide attentive service. The order of serving is drinks, cold dishes, hot dishes, staple dishes and desserts. If you like to eat during the period, you can add dishes separately at no extra charge. It is equivalent to spending three to five hundred for a high-end buffet, so it is not expensive.
19. Baoding Beef Pancake
I drove to Miyun before to have a meal of halal pancakes. This time I learned that a halal pancake shop had opened in Baiziwan, so I came to try it out. The taste was better than the store in Miyun. Now this shop has opened a branch in Daxing.
One covers two, one represents one ounce of meat, and two represents two ounces of cake. I chose the single set meal with two covers and three, which means two ounces of beef and three ounces of cake. Their store has just opened, and they haven’t filled up the restaurant yet. They only have pancakes and braised chicken. Braised chicken is also a specialty of Baoding. At the Daxing store, you can enjoy Hebei’s characteristic fish-flavored shredded pork.
I've also had cupcakes in Baoding, and I can say that the taste is basically the same as this one.

This is a Dubai halal restaurant that has just opened in Sanlitun. The owner of this restaurant is an Arab from Dubai and has a store in Dubai. According to the store clerk, the ingredients in the store are also imported from the Middle East. After eating it, I said that this is true because this store reminds me of the taste of the mandi I had in Mecca last year. It can be said that it restores the Middle Eastern flavor one to one.
this is a non-alcoholic restaurant. I am more worried about whether this restaurant can continue to operate for a long time, because the owner does not care about costs. However, the catering market in Beijing is relatively sluggish this year. Even in Sanlitun on weekends, there is not much traffic.
In the store, you can taste the agarwood aroma familiar from the Middle East.
The small cup of Arabic milk tea given by the waiter tasted exactly like the one I drank in Abu Dhabi.
The handmade Yemeni pancakes, served with a variety of dipping sauces, are especially delicious. The chefs are all Arabs from the Middle East.

Yemeni specialty handmade scones are very delicious, rich in wheat flavor, and very large.
Royal pastry, which tastes like glutinous rice and contains bananas. This dessert is not sweet at all.

Ulanqab Famous Store jointly operates Shaomai and opened a flagship store in Qianmen, which specializes in halal Mongolian food.
I highly recommend their Inner Mongolia pot tea, which is brewed and drunk immediately. It contains milk tofu and beef jerky.
Mongolian sausage and hand-made meat are also signature dishes, and all the ingredients come from Inner Mongolia.
Shaomai is the staple food of his restaurant. The kitchen is bright and the stove is bright, and it is made on site. My favorite is the lamb hind leg siomai.
The most expensive dish is the roasted whole lamb, which costs 2,000 yuan each. The price is actually not bad. The meat of the roasted whole lamb is very tender and the skin is crispy.
You can also watch Mongolian dance while eating.
This stir-fried lamb with scallions is also delicious.
Inner Mongolia's Guobao Pork uses beef strips, which is sweet and sour.

I think the specialty of his restaurant is its affordability. A group purchase of a set meal for two for 198 is basically full of meat, and the service is very good. There are people helping grill the whole process, and all requests are answered.
We all love eating this small sausage.
When I eat Daqi barbecue, I usually only choose beef. I think this type of sizzling barbecue tastes better with beef than mutton.

The bibimbap has a wide variety of ingredients, tastes good, and the service from the merchants is attentive.

This store has been open in Beijing for more than ten years, and its products have always been very stable. The owner is a Palestinian, fluent in Chinese, devout in faith, and there is no alcohol in the restaurant.
One time, the boss, I, and several Arabs were drinking tea in the store. During this period, an old Arab admitted that he had not prayed on time. When he was about to explain, the boss retorted and said that he should not make any excuses. It was wrong for not praying on time and he should not say anything.
The boss's mother lives in Jordan, which hosts the largest number of Palestinian refugees. He once brought his mother to live in Beijing for a while, but her mother felt that she couldn't hear the five prayers every day in Beijing, so she felt unaccustomed to it, so she returned to Jordan.
