牧羊爷爷·新疆文化菜

I'm crying! The best restaurant in Nalati! This was my favorite restaurant during my trip to Xinjiang. The Shepherd Grandpa's special cultural dishes were amazing. It's well known that Xinjiang people eat late, and their dishes are often heavy in oil and salt. For mainland Chinese, eating too late can be very upsetting, especially at small, dirty stalls where the oil and ingredients are not clean. This restaurant, however, is relatively light and refreshing, with a wide and varied menu, making it more accessible to the general public. The waitress was friendly and attentive, proactively explaining how to prepare Loulan's First Palm and how to top the handmade ice cream with various jams. You can even get a free lamb pudding by checking Dianping.com! I highly recommend the spicy chicken; it's a generous portion, not pre-prepared, and incredibly crispy. Paired with rice, it's a truly satisfying evening meal. The only downside is that there can be a wait at peak times. Check Dianping.com frequently, and if you plan to go, call ahead to reserve a private room. #NalatiFood #NalatiScenicFood #DukuGuide #XinjiangTravel #NalatiGuide #NalatiGrassland #NalatiTravelGuide #YiliFood #Nalati #Yili

I regret not going straight to his place on my first day in Nalati. My stomach suffered! !!! The following dishes are ranked by favorite: 🐑 Shepherd's Hand-Pulled Meat I'd be the king of this meal! The lamb was stewed to perfection, tender and flavorful, without a hint of mutton. The accompanying sauce was a fusion of chili and spices. It was a dish that completely wowed me! 🍖 Grilled Lamb Chops A feast for meat lovers! The lamb chops, grilled in a naan oven, were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a subtle charred aroma. Every bite was a satisfying feast! 🍯 Yogurt Both the taste and the appearance were spot on! Homemade yogurt with raspberry jam. Other yogurts with jam tend to be a bit too sweet, but theirs wasn't. Perfect! 🍰 Dessert Napoleon! Before leaving, I packed a Napoleon. Layers of crispy puff pastry with a smooth, rich cream filling. The delicate chew of the pastry and the rich, creamy aroma intertwined in my mouth, making it impossible not to want more!!! 🥟Baked Buns The crust was golden and crispy. The beef was accompanied by a subtle aroma of onion and cumin. A little more broth would have been great. 🐑Baked Lamb Kidneys Those with a strong palate will love this. The lamb kidneys sizzled in the oven, crispy, tender, and fragrant. The smell was incredibly nourishing. 😜 The ambiance is also fantastic! It's like Xinjiang cuisine's version of fine dining! #NalatiFood#NalatiScenicScenicFood#DukuGuide#XinjiangTravel#NalatiGuide#NalatiGrassland#NalatiTravelGuide#YiliFood#Nalati#Yili

I highly recommend Nalati Shepherd Grandpa's Xinjiang cuisine. A must-try is their signature Loulan First Palm. It's an ox paw. Everyone was amazed when it arrived—it was so big, almost as big as my male companion's forearm. The beef tendon is flavorful and chewy, and the sour and spicy flavor is irresistible! Add a side of belt noodles to top it off. Oh my god, I'm such a gourmet! 😋 (Tip: ox paws can have a strong base flavor, so those who can't handle strong flavors should be careful.) I absolutely love it. I also recommend their spicy chicken! 🐔—the chicken is crispy and delicious without being dry! 😋 The naan-roasted lamb chops are crispy and tender, and the meat is juicy. Then order a naan-roasted naan—the naan is perfectly charred and delicious! 😋 The fresh-cut red willow lamb skewers are a nice mix of fat and lean, with a slightly crispy skin and a tender and juicy interior. I highly recommend the handmade raspberry yogurt; it's smooth and has no off-flavor. Paired with raspberry jam, it's a little sweet and really delicious! #NalatiFood#NalatiScenicFood#DukuGuide#XinjiangTravel#NalatiGuide#NalatiGrassland#NalatiTravelGuide#YiliFood#Nalati#Yili

You really can't get this kind of food in mainland China. It's mostly locals, and the taste and quality are both top-notch. The dishes themselves are especially delicious! If you're in Nalati, I highly recommend giving it a try. Recommended dishes: ✨Loulan First Palm The size and color are so noticeable, and every bite is so satisfying. The beef tendon is soft, chewy, and packed with collagen. I absolutely love it! ✨Grandpa's Rice Sausage and Noodle Lung The rice sausage, soaked up so much broth, is absolutely delicious. Everyone rushed to grab it and it was gone in no time! 😂 ✨They also have a wide selection of drinks. Apricot peel sparkling drink, pomegranate sparkling drink, fruit tea, and fig light milk tea are all excellent, refreshing and refreshing with Xinjiang cuisine! ✨The naan bowl ice cream, with some shaved yogurt ice cream underneath and a sphere of ice cream inside, is so delicious, and the decoration is so beautiful! Everyone took out their phones to take pictures as soon as they arrived. [Wow][Wow] The restaurant even has a backyard and tatami mats, creating a unique atmosphere for taking photos everywhere! #NalatiFood #NalatiScenicScenicFood #DukuGuide #XinjiangTravel #NalatiGuide #NalatiGrassland #NalatiTravelGuide #YiliFood #Nalati #Yili
