Why come here
A place worth making time for
Widely recommended as the kebab restaurant to use in Urumqi in Chinese travel guides; no verifiable award.

What to order
Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.
What it actually tastes like
Kebabs are cumin-and-chilli heavy and deliberately interleave cubes of pure lamb fat with the lean meat — the fat is the point, not a mistake. Jiaomaji is served cold and is strongly numbing from Sichuan pepper oil.
Allergens in this kitchen
gluten/wheatsesamesoy
This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
