"It’s hard to find halal Xinjiang cuisine in NYC, but thankfully - with a huge “halal-friendly” sign on the restaurant’s outdoor awning - Jiang Diner is here to help. Try the cumin sauteed beef that comes sizzling in a cast-iron skillet. We love the hefty cumin flavor and juiciness of the cut pieces of beef, along with the dome of rice soaked with the sauce." - Jiniya Azad, Sameen Choudhry
