The Chinese Beef Lamb House is a well known restaurant within the Chinese Muslim community in Toronto, it offers a variety of tasty halal dishes and is the perfect place for lamb lovers everywhere.
The restaurant itself is located in a pretty discrete plaza, but once you get there you will see a big banner announcing the restaurant. Inside you will find its walls painted with green grasslands and blue skies. It doesn't look amazing, but it feels really spacious and comfortable.
The Fried Lamb (清真紅燒羊肉) was delicious, the meat was very tender and not too fat and it had that special wild meat taste that makes it the best tasting meat in my opinion. $12.99
The Fried Lamb Stomach with Green Onions (蔥爆羊肚) tasted the same as if the stomach was from a cow, but slowly you will start to realize it has the same great taste of lamb. $8.99
The Xin Jiang Style Lamb Pancake (清真羊肉夾餅) was pretty disappointing, there were very few pieces of lamb and all of them were really small. $3.99
The standard BBQ Lamb Skewer (炭燒羊肉串), very tasty and not too dry either. The spices do not completely mask the great unique flavor of the lamb like in the other restaurants that I have tried these at. $1.99/ea
The Home Special Dumplings with Hot Soup (清真酸湯水餃) did not taste any special either, don't get me wrong though, it did not taste bad, but I would recommend ordering something else. $6.99
Finally I ordered the House Special Fried Rice (中華特色炒饭), I did not expect it to be any different from regular fried rice but one of the people eating had a big craving for rice so we ordered this anyways. $6.99
I am definitely going back to try a few more items on the menu next time I get the chance, you can order a whole deep fried or just BBQ lamb leg ($58.99) and one of the items in their menu is called BBQ Whole Lamb for $12.99/person, sounds really appetizing!
The total came to a $64 after tips for 4 people, we were not very full but it was just enough.
+ Good portions for the price
+ Quick service
+ Halal
