My favorite restaurant in Shanghai!!!! The food is absolutely delicious, the cocktails are divine and the owner is the best! She is from the region herself and wants to bring her culture to Shanghai. The food is made with love and you can taste it. Inside is really romantic and cosy and their outside terrace gives you a view over the city! Superb Halal option in Shanghai, serving tasty xinjiang cuisine. Highly recommend the Xibonese stew and the milk tea (salty option was great). Lamb chop was a good sized portion - imo it was done similar to western style but served with the cumin spice mix on the side to give it the local touch. Cozy ambience great for gatherings with friends/family. Tasty west Chinese food with a lot of variety. Portions are good for the price. Service was nice and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food even tough we were there during Chinese New year. It was no problem to take away the left overs. Will go there again.

Very good Xinjiang Food restaurant in Shanghai. Prices are fair and the food and drinks were approved by my friend from Xinjiang. The interior is nice as well and the view is amazing thinking about the fact that this is located on only the fourth floor. A fifth star will be earned when the service staff gets their job done in a smoother way. The forgot some dishes and we had to remind them which should not happen in a restaurant of this price class.
