"Specializing in the cuisine of Xinjiang, where Muslim Uyghurs make up most of the population, this humble restaurant serves a bevy of halal Chinese fare. Lamb takes the spotlight, and an order of barbecued lamb skewers covered in cumin and chile is de rigueur. You can also get the protein tossed in silky, springy hand-pulled noodles or in a soup of lamb, yam, and Chinese herbs for a true taste of Xinjiang. Or go for stir-fried beef with onion and lotus leaf-shaped buns, which encompasses the simple yet comforting flavors characteristic of northwestern Chinese cuisine. There are even a few dim sum items, like beef and chive pancakes and lamb and onion steamed dumplings. [$-$$]" - Faiyaz Kara
