If you’re planning a trip to Guangzhou, this one’s for you. The Aziz Family Official (Aziz Family Official) shares three Halal food spots in the city that they say they’d return to “in a heartbeat”. And the best part? These places offer three completely different cuisines—all Halal—so you can explore variety without compromising on your preferences.
In the video, the family encourages viewers to save this guide before travelling, then takes you through: a Pakistani restaurant with comforting flavours, a Turkish grill spot serving standout kebabs, and a Uyghur restaurant that’s easy to spot right opposite Huaisheng Mosque. Let’s dive into their top picks.
1) Al Madina (Pakistani Restaurant with a “Taste of Home”)
First up is Al Madina, described as a Pakistani restaurant that “genuinely tasted like home”. The family highlights that it delivered a meal they genuinely didn’t expect in this part of the world—suggesting the flavours felt familiar, reassuring, and deeply satisfying.
Why go: If you’re craving Pakistani comfort food while travelling in Guangzhou, this is the kind of place the family says you’ll want to return to quickly.
What to expect
- A Pakistani menu with comforting, home-like flavours
- A “proper surprise” in a city where they weren’t expecting this kind of quality
- A meal that they describe as genuinely excellent
2) Bosphorus Turkish Restaurant (Xiaobei Kebabs & Grilled Meat)
Next is Bosphorus Turkish Restaurant, located in the Xiaobei area. In the video, the family says they were pleasantly surprised by the quality—especially because they didn’t think they’d find Turkish-style kebabs and grilled meat in Guangzhou.
They specifically call out the kebabs and grilled meat as the standout items, making this a great option when you want hearty, smoky, flavour-forward food.
Why go
- Turkish grilled flavours in the Xiaobei area
- Kebabs and grilled meats that impressed them
- A strong option if you’re craving bold, savoury meals
3) A Uyghur Restaurant Opposite Huaisheng Mosque (Golden Decor, Best Chicken Skewers)
Finally, the video features a Uyghur restaurant opposite Huaisheng Mosque. The Aziz Family Official notes that they never managed to catch the restaurant’s name, but they say you can’t miss it—thanks to golden decor that stands out among everything else nearby.
They describe the restaurant as busy, which is exactly why they went in. And when they started eating, it became a clear favourite.
The highlight: chicken skewers
According to the family, the chicken skewers here were “easily the best food we had” during their entire China trip. That’s a big claim—so if you’re a fan of skewers and want a must-try dish, this is the stop you don’t want to miss.
- Uyghur cuisine
- Opposite Huaisheng Mosque
- Golden decor that makes it easy to spot
- Chicken skewers they describe as the best of their trip
Three Cuisines, One City: Guangzhou Did Not Disappoint
What makes this list especially compelling is how varied it is. In a single city, Guangzhou served up Pakistani comfort food at Al Madina, Turkish kebabs at Bosphorus, and Uyghur favourites just opposite Huaisheng Mosque. The family’s closing sentiment says it all: “Guangzhou, you fed us well.”
Tip: If you’re heading to Guangzhou, save these three Halal food spots and plan your meals around the cuisines you’re craving most—comfort, grilled meats, or Uyghur skewers.
