Uighur Restaurant

Located in the heart of Shanghai on Yishan Road, this restaurant is hard to miss due to the crowd of people waiting for fresh kebabs being cooked on the outdoor grill. But it's inside this otherwise nondescript restaurant where the real treats are. The cuisine hails from the far western regions of China, where Uighur food - a hearty meat-heavy mix of Turkic and Chinese cuisines - is served with nightly Uighur musical performances on the main stage. This restaurant is popular with tourists, expats, and locals looking for authentic Muslim Chinese cuisine, including staples such as Xinjiang-style fried rice. If you're daring enough, you can even try specialties like Ox Penis stew. Don't worry - it's all halal!
