Alijia is one of the representatives of Shanghai's new Xinjiang restaurant, and it is relatively fine in all aspects. Among the few dishes, there are always highlights that make people remember, so there are many repeat customers. The two branches have been closed due to store renovation and property problems, and now only the Jing'an Temple store is open, and the food is full of popularity.
Ali's family takes the younger route, the dishes are very exquisite, and while controlling the "highlight" mutton, the female boss has also developed roast beef tongue, small old cellar tender bean sprouts, sesame mushrooms, rose pudding, blackcurrant cheese tofu and other very eye-catching side dishes, these dishes are well completed, which is the biggest highlight of its house. Ali's family also gave up the big dish of roasting whole sheep, as well as local dishes with strong market flavor such as spicy lamb trotters, lamb haggis soup, lamb scorpion pot, roast lamb kidney, etc., the overall dish is not much, but it is refreshing and refreshing, which is very suitable for people with difficult choices. However, the delicate presentation sacrifices the portion size to a certain extent, and it is best eaten for 1 to 6 people.
Ali's family selects Balchuk mutton into the dish, this kind of mutton is known as the "king of mutton" in Xinjiang, Balchuk Ranch has rich vegetation and natural saline-alkali land, so the mutton grown here is relatively delicate, almost no smell. The red willow skewers are larger than the iron skewers, which can better lock in the moisture and add a little bit of the red willow tree fragrance, and the mutton is tender and chewy, and the meat is full of aroma. And the other hand-grabbed mutton can also eat the original taste of mutton, which is also worth recommending. Although Ali's soup is average, whether it is tomato soup or mutton soup, it is very bland, but the soup base of this hand-grabbed mutton is unexpectedly rich, especially suitable for cold weather. Baked buns are also worth trying, from the initial round big buns, to the current pillow-shaped small buns, maintaining the ratio of flour, clear oil and eggs, the flavor is still the same, those who don't like fatty meat can choose mushroom and chicken filling, and you can also experience the satisfaction of puff pastry filling.
Ali's grilled food is good, the stir-fry is not a little hot, and the stir-fried vegetables and the dry plate of chicken are average. If you want to go with vegetables, you might as well try the young bean sprouts in Xiaolaojiao. Although the menu introduces this as the exclusive secret recipe of the female boss, the method is similar to that of Shanghai wine vanilla, the magic is that the bean sprouts are not easy to curl up when heated, wrapped in soup, the taste is more tender, and the entrance exudes a faint fragrance of liquor, which is very suitable for a relaxed dining atmosphere. As a vegetable, although the price is as high as 52 yuan, there are many people who are willing to pay for it. If you want to try Ali's pasta, it is not recommended to have too high expectations, the tenacity is not enough, and the taste is a little hard, so you can try it as a staple food.
The waiters are smiling and neat, and even if you are curious about the chef's skewer process in the transparent window, they will interact with them with a smile and are very friendly.
The dining room is not large, the table spacing is narrow, the music is noisy, and it is not as elaborate as Xibo, and the experience of sitting in a private room is better.
