Muslim Quarter

Step into the heart of Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter, where the air sizzles with flavor and every corner tells a story. This is a place where food isn’t just eaten—it’s celebrated. Follow the smoky scent of sizzling lamb skewers, grilled fresh over open flames and dusted with cumin and chili. Watch as flaky, golden “Yangrou Paomo” bread is torn by hand, then drowned in rich, aromatic lamb broth. Don’t miss 'Roujiamo', China's most ancient burger, stuffed with tender, and the "Biang Biang Noddles" with spiced meator the dramatic pull of hand-stretched noodles, tossed right before your eyes. Here, every bite is bold, authentic, and alive with tradition. Come hungry, leave happy—and maybe a little messy. We usually choose 3-4 food from: Liang Pi (cold noodle), Yang Rou Pao Mo (cruded pancake in mutton soup), Hui Fang Kao Rou skewers (barbecue), Suan Tang Shui Jiao (hot and sour dumpling soup), Biang Biang Noodles, sticky Zeng Gao, Plum Syrup (Suan Mei Fen drink)...

Wonderful guide Annie! Muslim Mosque & food tour.

Our tour guide Annie met us in our hotel, greeting us with 3 kinds of milk tea to enjoy. We were staying in UrCove which was very close to the Muslim quarter. We decided to visit the Muslim Mosque first, so enjoyed our tea as we walked through the bustling Muslim food quarter. Annie was an excellent tour guide with extensive knowledge about the Muslim Mosque. We then walked back to enjoy food with Annie’s recommendations. There was one pescatarian and two meat eaters in our group. Annie was very...read more

Dear Jane, Thank you for sharing your experience and for the A++++ rating! We're so happy to hear that Annie took such great care of you, from the milk tea greeting to helping you order food and even translate for spice purchases. It’s great that both the pescatarian and meat eaters in your group left with full and happy bellies! We hope you enjoyed the spices back home. We will make sure to let Annie know she helped make your trip to Xi'an special. Thanks again for choosing us! Best Regards, Lenna

Foodies paradise in Xian

Ken was amazing and fun. We walked through the Muslim quarter and through backstreets I wouldn’t have found on my own. We saw hand stretched noodles made and tried several different disused like soup dumplings, very tasty kebabs and loads of deserts! Could not recommend more for foodies!
