Audrey TanWas roaming around Haji lane and tried the Ameen roti at the start of the row before realising I saved this place to try and decided why not keeping in theme with xinjiang food. Very short walk from Haji lane to the parallel street to Afanti's entrance. There were 2 family groups dining when we entered but could easily find a table in the spacious and comfy premises. Menu is huge and extensive not unlike other xinjiang style restaurants we've been to before (shout out Yizun noodle in Joochiat for being my first exposure to really tasty Halal Chinese food). We tried the signature beef lamian which was alright- lanzhou chain does a mean one so pretty tough to beat. There wasn't any radish and the broth was light. Easy to share because they also provide scissors to cut the noods. The signature xinjiang chicken potato stew caught my eye so also got that since it was part of a combo together with lamb skewers. No gamey smell and was delicious although my dining partner wished there was more seasoning (I felt it was okay, but yes maybe condiments on the side would be a nice touch). We couldn't finish the chicken potato stew chock full of bell peppers, onions and soft tasty potato chunks and enjoyed the leftovers over 2 more meals so definitely have to bring a big group to try more dishes! I loved the thick noodles hiding underneath the sauce because they suck up the yummy sauce so well. Honestly a bit torn - xinjiang food versus other regional China food seems to be on the pricier side but is definitely tasty and a flavour profile I'm not usually exposed to so am grateful to try new things. In terms of halal food offerings I'm glad there's more varieties of yummy food being introduced as well.
Naira AlshaytanaFood was good and portion was big, a little pricey but worth the money.. service was good and food was fast.. the service staff was attentive and the manager guy wearing the black shirt was friendly.. good experience Love the lamb soup .. the meat was soft and tender
It'smylifeNice place to explore XinJiang halal food in Singapore 🇸🇬. The place is cosy and well set up. The portions served are very big so order carefully. The restaurant was full and we waited a while before our dishes could be served. Good place to try the food if you are keen to explore Xin Jiang food.
