GGJ Muslim Restaurant

I didn't expect that I could eat authentic Xinjiang cuisine in Shanghai. Located on Zhejiang North Road, the Muslim Guanguanji Muslim Restaurant features Xinjiang cuisine, and the interior decoration is also ethnic. There are several good set meals in the store, and the price is very high, but the price of a la carte is also quite affordable. The hand-pulled lamb must be ordered, that fresh, that tender, that's the taste, that's right😋 The lamb skewers are very fragrant and tender, and the taste is super good. After eating, add a few more skewers. The pepper chicken is spicy and fresh, appetizing and delicious, and the portion is quite large. It's just that the taste of naan is not as crispy as the one eaten in Xinjiang. The sweet embryo is delicious, the wine is fragrant, sweet and sticky, I like it very much. The service is good, the lady keeps helping to add water and change the bone dish.

Recommended by a local colleague in Shanghai, it is said that this shop has been popular since he was a child! It sounds a bit mysterious, but I was really surprised when I arrived at the store... I queued for an hour! And all the people in the queue had no intention of leaving, it was really exaggerated! It was finally my turn, and when I entered the room, it was really full. When I ordered, I found that the barbecue place did not sell alcohol, which was also a bit strange. Pepper and sesame chicken: the meat is soft and the taste is excellent; Hand-pulled lamb chops: the tenderness of the lamb is unobstructed when eaten alone, and it is another kind of enjoyment for the taste buds when paired with dipping sauce; Sheep's feet: It doesn't look like there is much meat, but it is very tasty when chewed. It would be perfect if there was a bottle of beer... The main dish is Xinjiang hand-pulled rice, which may be in line with the taste of Shanghai, with raisins, slightly sweet, but as a northerner, I don't feel disgusted. Overall feeling, if there is a bottle of beer, I can order another leg of lamb!

Located in the city center, there are many restaurants opened by Hui people. This Guanguanji and its neighbor are probably the two most well-known restaurants. Guanguanji is probably bigger, with three floors. I didn't have to queue up several times, which saved me a lot of time. If you don't go in groups on a hot day, the seats on the first floor are actually the best because the air conditioning is the strongest. The seats upstairs are always a bit hot, especially the part that is set up. It's a bit like a sauna in the middle of the day. People who are easily heated should be careful. I still ordered hand-pulled lamb and beef noodles. Hand-pulled lamb is the signature dish. The fat and lean are just right. Compared with the lamb chops in Western restaurants, I prefer this tender and smooth taste. It is not recommended to dip it in too much sauce. In fact, it would be better to sprinkle some sea salt, but I'm not sure if this is still the traditional way to eat it.

"Hand-pulled mutton half a catty" is only 44 yuan! Must order! Boiled mutton really has no smell! Just like what you eat in the northwest! Fat and lean, paired with the store's secret spicy sauce, it's absolutely delicious! "Xinjiang Hand-pulled Rice" The rice is distinct, and the sauce is evenly attached to the rice, and every grain is just right! "Big Plate Chicken" Big Plate Chicken Noodles, this one is only 28 yuan, Shaxian snacks are more than this price! The wide noodles are very chewy, and the chicken portion is not small, just right for two people! "Milk Fermented Glutinous Rice" Such a big pot is only 20 yuan! You can't buy it at a loss! You can't buy it! Many takeaway apps charge 20 for a small bowl! This is a pot! I was stunned when it was served! 🥩 "Beef Pot Stickers" 4 pieces per serving, the golden skin completely locks the soup of the beef filling, it's really satisfying to take a bite!

The restaurant that my friend suggested to come to on the spur of the moment has a big Muslim word on the door. It turns out that the restaurant has a name, called Guanguanji. There is a grill for grilling lamb kebabs at the door, and on the other side there are Xinjiang specialty raisins and the like for sale. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I felt smoky. It might be that the smoke from the barbecue outside blew into the store. I was not used to it at first, but I could bear it after sitting for a while. Lamb kebabs, this is a must-order item. The meat on the two ends of a skewer is relatively lean, and there is a piece of fat in the middle. I like the taste of this kind of fat being grilled fragrantly. It's delicious. Egg Liao Zao, I didn't know what it was at first, but after taking a bite, I knew that it was Shanghai fermented glutinous rice with milk added. It's delicious as a dessert, and it can be used as a drink. I recommend it. Big plate chicken, the plate that comes up looks big and tall, but it's actually very shallow, and there is a heat-insulating candle underneath. I saw two chicken necks in one serving... The dish was served with wide rice noodles instead of belt noodles. I was a little disappointed at first, but I didn't expect the wide rice noodles to be quite chewy and not inferior to noodles when dipped in the soup. I ordered mutton fried rice because I saw many people recommending it on the reviews. When it came, the color was really plain and I could hardly see the meat. I didn't expect that there were a lot of seasonings, so the taste was not bland, and the rice was just the right softness.

The day before yesterday, I met with colleagues I hadn't seen for a long time and arranged to meet here. It's a very familiar place. I worked nearby for three years. Now Zhilian has moved away. We ordered a group purchase and lamb skewers for 4 adults and 1 child. The lamb skewers are quite tender and taste good. They are grilled on iron sticks and are very fragrant. Yogurt, mainly for Duoduo, sprinkled with sesame seeds and raisins. I tasted it and it was quite sour and relatively healthy. Hand-pulled lamb is their signature dish. The amount is very large per pound. The lamb is not fat, the meat is also very tender, and the smell is not big. It tastes very good with the sauce. It's really good. Mushroom soup, I thought it would be tasteless, but it tasted good. The soup is white and tastes like milk, which is relatively sweet. The last vegetable of Eggplant Love is a combination of beans and eggplant. It is very flavorful and delicious. It is basically sold out. The overall taste is very good, the amount of food is large, and it can't be finished. The price is also affordable. It makes sense to have been open for so many years.
