When Afunti says dinner with a show, they mean it. With a never-ending lineup of belly dancers, snake charmers and Shaolin hip-hop kung fu (that's right), this is not a place for quiet dinner conversation. Dapanjii, and the succulent kebabs are highly recommended.

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.

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 .....
