I often wonder if the users of this site are a bunch of winers/complainers or actually visited a different place than I did. The food was abundant and fine (this place is NOT aiming for 3 Michelin stars); the service was decent (we are in Beijing); and the show was a blast. The place was not overrun with laowai, either. Only downside is that the cost is not cheap, but for 3 hours of fun it was fine...

Attention: Everyone else that has written a review of this place has taken it too seriously. It's meant to be cheesy. its meant to be hilariously cheesy. and it is, especially in the right company. After the show ends everyone is invited to get ontop of the tables and dance. The key to afunti is going drunk, and with a bunch of close friends. It becomes hilarious when some of your friends are asked to go on stage and battle eachother in ridiculous games. Not for the stage-shy.

Went here after a local coworker said we should eat here- horrible! Not only did we struggle to find it in a dark little alley, but it was so cheesy! Gah. AND my coworker ended up getting a fake 50 bill here it was SO dark so don' tknow if it was a mistake or hmmmmm.... avoid

I agree with the negative reviews above. If you want a show, go to Makye Ame; if you want good Xinjiang food, go to Crescent Moon. I guess if you've had a lack of surrealism in your daily Beijing life then you might find what you're looking for in Afunti's show. This is one of the closest restaurants to where I live but I doubt I'll ever return.

My god this place is the pits - truley one of the worst restaurants in Beijing. Avoid the set menu it will leave you going home hungry, the waiting staff are very badly trained and have a poor attitude. I am also sure the beer is watered down.

The environment is commercial and has tour bus patronage full of tourist. If you would like muslim dishes please avoid this place. Go to a smaller local restaurant run by traditional owners where the prices represent much better value for money, the taste is much better, and the staff treat you well.

If this restaurant wins any award in Beijing it will only be by paying someone cash.

Big ZERO out of five .....

Truly terrible.

• Table service was rude and surly, even though the place was less than half-full.

• Waitresses sneered and hissed when I tried to get ordinary, reusable chopsticks instead of the pay-extra throw away kind.

• The mutton served on a pizza-base-like nang bread (nang bao rou) came out COLD. Not one word of apology. It reappeared 15 minutes later barely lukewarm. Clearly it was made fresh yesterday. Nearly inedible.

• Grilled mutton sticks (yang rou chuan) were no better than average, definitely not worth the price at double what the no-name moslem joints charge.

• A near-brawl with the service staff ensued when I refusedthey refused to give me a receipt after paying the bill (mandatory by Chinese law). After a huge scene and 15 solid minutes of arguing, they produced a number of taxi receipts and a KFC receipt instead!!!

• Small bottle of "Sinkiang" black beer priced at an extortionist level of 22 yuan

Didn't see the show, but can't think a single positive comment in the culinary realm.

Zero out of Five stars.

Unless you are into "pain", avoid Afunti at all costs.
