Outer Sunset · Halal Uyghur & Beijing kitchen

Old Mandarin Islamic Restaurant

Halal Uyghur cooking out by the beach

Open secret · Good for midday and evening

Xuqun Yang and Feng Wang left Beijing in 1987 and opened this place out by the beach ten years later, working it with their teenage son. The cooking is mostly Uyghur with Beijing dishes alongside, all halal, with no pork or alcohol. Not long ago it was the city's only Chinese Muslim restaurant.

OrderLamb skewers to start, then the hot pot if you've brought friends.
