The Leader of the Northwest (Xibei Lingtouyang) is located in the Jinfeng Garden building on Meilin Road in Futian District, close to the Shenzhen Mosque and accessible via Metro Line 9. The restaurant underwent a full renovation for a more elegant look, and its menu now includes English translations for non-Chinese-speaking diners.

It specializes in halal Northwest Chinese cuisine, with standout dishes including meat-rich lamb skewers with crispy fat, lamb hot pot, whole roasted lamb, hand-torn lamb and traditional baked flatbread. With a 4.7-out-of-5 rating from 57 reviews, it is a firm favorite among the local Muslim community and mosque visitors alike.
