Reviews
- infinite_acornIf you love going hard on meat but don't want it to feel too heavy, you've gotta try their combo set. The braised and roasted lamb chops are crispy on the outside, super juicy inside, and dusted with cumin — every bite is packed with flavor, honestly so good. But I'd definitely grab the sweet wheat tea with it to cut through the richness, or you'll get tired of it fast. The sweet wheat drink comes in a big portion, has this subtle rice wine vibe going on, and it works wonders against the spice. Also tried the hand-grabbed lamb and the scrambled eggs with wild onion, both were really fresh and you can tell it's legit halal — the sign is right there. One heads up though: the big plate chicken is HUGE. Like, two or three people sharing one is plenty, maybe just add a liangpi or some lamb skewers on the side and you're set. Overall, great spot for hanging out with friends or a quick family meal. I stopped in while running errands nearby and it was totally worth it — and bonus, no waiting in line even at peak hours, which honestly feels rare these days.
