My friend recommended this restaurant to me, but I was worried that it might not live up to its reputation. I didn't expect it to be so good looking and tasty. It's rare to eat such fresh and chewy shrimps in Xinjiang. The pigeon meat in the pigeon noodles is tender, and the belt noodles are covered with spicy sauce, which is fragrant and smooth. It's just a little too spicy for me.
Shi Liu Hong is a Xinjiang-style restaurant chain that is particularly famous and popular in Urumqi. The dining environment is pretty good, and the dishes are quite authentic and good.

Many of you said you wanted to drink kavas, come on, drink a glass of fresh Nava, naan meat, pigeon soup, jar meat (carrots, chama mushrooms, etc. stewed together), fried chickpeas, roasted lamb, eat too much, taste buds are a bit corrupted, feel the same, the environment is good. In the Yindu Hotel on Youhao South Road, Urumqi.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery and skiing, I had a great time. Naturally, I felt hungry, so I checked in at Happy Nava to eat Xinjiang cuisine. The lamb skewers in this restaurant are the biggest feature.

Xiaogazi is a well-known Xinjiang restaurant with local characteristics. The restaurant has a good location, elegant and quiet environment, and a relatively spacious place. The service is warm, proactive and thoughtful, and the dishes are served very quickly.
There are several special dishes that are particularly delicious, and the homemade yogurt is quite good.
Xinjiang Dapanji is still very famous. The pepper chicken here is quite good. The grilled lamb chops are very fragrant and not so smelly. They are also very tender and smooth. The environment is also very good.

The taste is great and the set meal is also very cost-effective. There is also a parking lot. The restaurant environment has ethnic characteristics and is very suitable for taking pictures. There are also many people. There are also beautiful young men and women dancing and interacting very lively. The food is served quickly and the service is also very good. I will come again next time
The environment is good, with the feel of Kashgar. The service is also good, diligent and considerate. The only drawback is that it is so delicious. My girlfriend is from Kashgar and she cried after eating it and said she tasted the taste of her hometown. I won't say more. 5-star praise. I will also put it here for my birthday in two days.

The Xinjiang cuisine at Impression Tianshan and Story is delicious and authentic. I like it very much. There are all kinds of special foods, which taste great. It is a good choice and feels very good. It has national characteristics and is great.
Yingxiang Tianshan is definitely a Xinjiang cuisine restaurant with a story. Every dish here is authentic Xinjiang cuisine, and the environment of this restaurant is also quite good.

[Environment] It has a very party atmosphere.
A charming woman has two things: one is financial independence, and the other is independent thinking. When you have these two, you will understand what it means to "live the way you like", regardless of age or gender.
When you are confused, remind yourself, this is the only direction that will not go wrong.

Very good environment, lively and prosperous area, family and friends gather together
Urumqi is a vast place with abundant resources. It has never lost in terms of food! I personally tested the Xinjiang food concentration area to see if it is worth it!!
Mutton pilaf
Figure 2 Yixiangyuan mutton pilaf, a restaurant strongly recommended by the locals. A 70-year-old grandmother gave 4 large pieces of meat for 40 yuan. The portion and taste were amazing!! Figure 3 Nuriman fig pilaf, which I queued for 20 minutes on Hotan Second Street. It was delicious but not much meat.
Figure 4 Xiloulan pilaf taken out of the hotel. The meat was delicious, but the rice was too hard, and the grains were clearly paper. Xinjiang snacks
Figure 5 Bart Catering · Xinjiang cuisine, sand onion eggs and mutton skewers were delicious, and other dishes were average.
Picture 6 Kashgar Yibizhua, mini baked buns in Hotan Erjie, eat the lamb while it's hot~
Picture Yogurt Zongzi, red date Zongzi with a thick layer of yogurt, topped with honey or jam, good to eat alone, but weird when combined
Xinjiang desserts
Picture 89 Minzhong Sweetheart Shop, milk skin cake is too sweet, not recommended, the snacks are delicious, especially the apricot jam sandwich roll
Picture milk skin cut into pieces, with chopped nuts on top, the cake is sandwiched with cold yogurt, rich milk flavor, super delicious!
Picture 1 Zhengfei Fresh Milk, fresh milk with rich milk flavor, nut cheese filling is huge, delicious
Picture 2 Tea Ballet, drank for many days, milk tea also gave away mouse pads around Xinjiang, this can be #Wuzhen Travel Guide #Urumqi Food Guide #Urumqi Food, Drink and Fun

Xiyu BBQ Restaurant is a very popular restaurant in Urumqi. If you arrive early, you don't have to queue up. You can pick a seat you like and scan the code to order. If the number of orders is large, the system will prompt "too much". The barbecue of various meats is absolutely the best, tender, spicy and delicious. The stewed potatoes in the earth pit are really the last one to fill you up. With such a super taste and atmosphere, the checkout fee is particularly touching, and the cost performance is explosive. When I left, there was already a long line.
After reading many user recommendations, I followed their advice and went early, around 6:30. There weren't many people there, so I found a seat. When I came out after eating at around 7:00, there were already many people sitting on small stools waiting for a seat. It's very hot to wait in summer, so I still recommend going early.
The three of us ordered Loulan small barbecue, rack meat, yogurt rice dumplings, crispy pork tendons, and Loulan grapes. The small barbecue was very tender and tasty. As a Xinjiang person who often eats barbecue, this small barbecue can also be ranked in the top three. It's delicious and recommended; the rack meat is also delicious. Since there are only three of us, we didn't dare to order too much, so we only ordered 0.5 kilograms. The meat was roasted and fragrant, delicious and recommended; the yogurt rice dumplings were very popular with children, and the crispy pork tendons were full of oil and fragrance. It might be the last one to be served, so it felt a little greasy. The Loulan grapes were ordered out of curiosity. They were sour and sweet, but they were okay. Those who like desserts can order them.
Finally, I must say that the service attitude is very good. As soon as you enter the door, a waitress will lead you to your seat. After you sit down, she will enthusiastically guide you to scan the code to order. After you order, the dishes are served very quickly, and special requests are handled quickly and enthusiastically. Three people (two adults and one child) spent 251 yuan, which is not cheap, but the experience is very good and it must be praised.

I was very excited to finally experience the lovely Xinjiang. The place is really big, with local Xinjiang characteristics. We went there at around 9 o'clock and it was almost full. A table of four ordered five dishes. We ate the vermicelli and prawns so quickly that we didn't have time to take a photo [grin][grin][grin][grin] The stir-fried lamb tripe was very chewy at first and tasted average, but it tasted better and better as we ate more. The other dishes tasted average, but after the meal, they were paired with the Haagen-Dazs ice cream cake we brought with us, which was extraordinary hahaha [naughty] (just kidding). The prices of the dishes can be said to be very high. I personally feel that there is still a gap between the price and the taste of the dishes. I didn't feel satisfied after eating.
