AFANTI Halal Xinjiang 阿凡提新疆主题餐厅（水门店清真） อาฝานถี ฮาลาลสาขาประตูน้ำ — Restaurant in Thanon Phaya Thai Subdistrict

Price point is on the higher side, but taste wise it was pretty good. There were hits and misses.

I am not too sure how xinjiang cuisine is supposed to taste, but I have had enough of similar dishes to tell if they taste good or otherwise.

The stir fried cabbage was surprisingly the highlight of the meal. The vegetable itself was sweet and fresh. Despite the cooking, it maintained its crunch while removing the rawness. The aromatics took the dish to the next level. The fragrance, coupled with the tangling spiciness, elevated the entire tastebud experience. For someone who dislikes flower peppercorn, I spent a great amount of time trying to pick them out to prevent mishaps of accidentally biting into one. Suggestion for the restaurant to sieve out the spices after getting the aroma into the oil.

The minced beef bun- while the dough maintained a nice chew and had a golden crispy exterior, the filling inside was lacking flavour. The meat was too finely minced to have any texture, resulting in a rather mushy bite.

As for the bbq sticks, they were well-seasoned, but I would go easy on the salt. Most of them were too salty for one to eat them in its own without the staple. The mutton had a good fats to meat ratio. The beef on the other hand tasted rather stiff, without visible fats. For those who cannot take spiciness, you might consider asking the staff to cut down on the chilli flakes. I had a few runs to the toilet to rid them of my system.

Overall, the food was flavourful, environment was clean, and staff was courteous. If you don’t mind the price and are looking for something different from the usual, this would be a good...

Alert! It is not Uyghurs restaurant, it is Hui noodle restaurant. Don’t let the Uyghurs decoration fools you. The service of the cashier and the owner is dreadful. The cashier looks only at her phone and pretends she didn’t hear customers, and arrogantly laughing at us. The owners and chef yelling loud on the phone for the whole time when we sat there. Even after we told him it is loud but he didn’t give a crap. Still going on. It is so unpleasant evening with super loud Chinese shouting in the background.

The restaurant looks clean, food is small portion but taste good. Noodles are fresh and spicy but don’t contain much meat. The meat is very tough meat and they are hard to chew. The two waitresses are inexperienced but...

had to try xinjiang cuisine in bangkok

we ordered soup noodles, fried rice, lamb and beef skewers, black fungus and a jug of the eight treasures tea

the fried rice was probably the most lacklustre of all, the skewers were a bit tiny but seasoned well, the beef soup noodles was delicately flavourful and the hand pulled noodles were very QQ (chewy). Black fungus nice and fresh and crunchy.

The tea is different from what we have had in other xinjiang restaurants, it was served a bit toooo hot and please remember to stir well to dissolve the rock sugar evenly.

total was 1000 baht, which we thought was a bit pricey for a meal in bangkok. the restaurant was very beautifully decorated and it is a...
