There are many famous barbecue restaurants in Muslim Street, but the unique taste and self-contained style is probably Wenwen barbecue. Wenwen Barbecue is located in Da Pi Yuan, which is part of Muslim Street, and was once mainly sold for leather goods, hence the name. Dapiyuan is an east-west street, connecting Xihuamen and North Guangji Street, which is much cleaner than the crowded North Guangji Street. In the eyes of many Xi'an diners, Dapiyuan is the essence of Muslim Street cuisine.
In the wave of Northwest barbecue pursuing large pieces of meat and original flavor, Wenwen barbecue is famous for its unique sauce. The unique feature of Wenwenjia's homemade sweet and spicy barbecue sauce is that sugar is added to the sauce. Sugar plays a role in locking in the gravy during the grilling process, which is why Wenwen's barbecue meat is more tender. At the same time, the sweetened barbecue sauce gives the barbecue a unique flavor that is sweet and refreshing. In addition, Wenwenjia's barbecue meat is smaller and has a more sweet and spicy taste, which is favored by female diners, on the contrary, for diners who like large pieces of meat, the amount of meat is slightly stingy.
The roast beef, roast tendons, and roast loin of Wenwen barbecue are all one yuan a skewer, and the mutton is three yuan a skewer, and the starting point of ten skewers. The staple food category of Wenwen barbecue is also relatively rich, and the cold skin and glutinous rice balls that are not common in ordinary barbecue restaurants are also among them, most of which are to meet the catering needs of tourists, and local diners still eat meat when they come to the store.
Wenwen Barbecue is open daily from 5:30 p.m. until 12 p.m. There is a large pot at the door, in which the special sweet and spicy barbecue sauce of Wenwen's house is constantly stirred, attracting passers-by to stop and watch. The interior of the restaurant is a little shabby, with low tables, benches, and dim lighting.
