  • I was at the private grand opening of this restaurants years ago, and I've been a occasional but steady customer since. And not just because I know the owners.. Xin Jiang is a Muslim territory in China, so there's no swine. Some people may be surprised that China has a Muslim territory, but in fact Islam is the second largest religion in China, and it was there way before Communism. I never understood the concept of hanging rugs on the walls, I think rugs belong on the floor, because regardless the intricacy of the design, it's still carpet..and carpet is for walking on. So the décor of this restaurant isn't anything quite impressive. You may however be intrigued by the trophies and photographs of Athletes the owner has accumulated over his professional basketball career back in China proudly displayed by the entrance. The owner's wife also used to be a professional athlete for China's volleyball team, the couple's combined height is just below what Toronto would charge for a 'sky tax'. I used to help him coach basketball, and this guy did not miss a 3 pointer...EVER! I love the food here, the lamb kabobs are delicious, and it is probably the restaurant's best seller. I did try a dish which I loved during the grand opening, but I didn't remember the name. So each time coming here, I've tried to explain that dish to the owner, the wait staff, and ended up getting the wrong thing every time. I know they make it, I just don't know what I'm talking about, and neither does anyone who works here. The menu is meat oriented and with a lot of spice, you'd expect a patronage of young adults, but the people who frequent here are surprisingly of a more civilised generation. Like all Sino-Islamic restaurants, the menu is short on photos of their food, which always makes for a complicated ordering process...at least for me. The kabobs are good, but at the price which it is sold, it adds up quickly. A well managed place, clean, and good food..but I have one complaint; Despite having a good relationship with the owner, the guy ONLY gives me a discount if I come here with a beautiful woman. WHY?!
