This is a Uighur (Muslim ethnicity in Xinjiang, NW China) restaurant in the Russian Quarter of Beijing on Ritan Bei Lu. Uighur food is typically heavy with garlic, chili, tomato, green pepper, and cumin, with less oil and salt or msg. I thought this would be a Russian/Uighur restaurant but it was pretty much standard Xinjiang fare. I had Yang Tui (lamb leg) and a Uighur Salad which was really spicy. Xinjiang food is very mutton-intensive. I liked the sign, but have had better Xinjiang food.
