Stag City is a Chinese restaurant at 291 Finchley Road with a particular focus on the food of Xinjiang in western China. The casual dining room offers a distinctive alternative to a conventional neighbourhood noodle bar, presenting hearty regional cooking designed for both individual meals and sharing.
Hand pulled noodles, lamb skewers, pilaff and big plate chicken express the restaurant’s Xinjiang identity. These dishes bring together wheat based staples, grilled meat and aromatic seasoning, while the generously proportioned sharing plates allow a group to explore several flavours and textures around the same table.
The menu begins with cold appetisers such as hot and sour green bean jelly, smashed cucumber with garlic and vinegar, pepper salad and sliced kelp. Rice and noodle dishes sit alongside a wider selection of cooked plates, giving diners options that range from a focused bowl or plate to a longer, shared meal.
Vegetable and vegan choices broaden the selection, and drinks such as Tiger beer and eight treasures tea complement the savoury cooking in different ways. Stag City suits diners who want to discover Xinjiang specialities as well as groups looking for an informal meal built around skewers, noodles and substantial centrepiece dishes.
Address: 291 Finchley Road, London NW3 6ND, England
