Nanjing’s foreign community has changed much in recent years, and now Muslims make up a considerable portion of the city’s population from overseas. It therefore only makes sense that The Nanjinger makes available a bilingual list comprising many of the city’s halal restaurants.
Despite the 20+ restaurants listed below, the chances are that wherever you live in Nanjing, there will be a Lanzhou Noodles restaurant nearby. As capital of Gansu with a very significant Muslim population, the Province’s famed signature noodles with meat have made their way to all corners of China, literally. Just look for “兰州拉面” (Lanzhou Pulled Noodles) or “牛肉拉面” (Beef Pulled Noodles) on a restaurant’s signage. If accompanied by some Arabic script, it’s almost certainly Muslim. If in doubt, ask the staff whether their meat is “清真” (qing zhen; halal).
Hence, please note that the list below is not exhaustive, but with your help, it can be. If we have missed out your favourite or any you think worthy of inclusion, please let us know via info@thenanjinger.com, or by messaging our official WeChat account (SinoConnexion).
Some are famous, others much less so, but quite a number are also located inside, or very near to, some of Nanjing’s many universities. These are shown under the subhead below. Otherwise, this list is in no particular order as to rating, popularity, price, location, etc.
