Xian Restaurant is a long established Chinese restaurant at 862 High Road in North Finchley. Serving the neighbourhood since 1989, it draws particularly on Beijing and Cantonese cooking while also offering Sichuan dishes and wider regional favourites. Evening opening, restaurant dining, collection and local delivery give customers several ways to explore the menu.
Appetisers, soups and dim sum provide a varied beginning to the meal. Diners can choose crisp spring rolls, dumplings, prawn dishes and vegetable lettuce wraps before moving to the larger plates. Traditional crispy aromatic duck is designed for sharing with pancakes and accompaniments, and remains one of the restaurant’s well known specialities.
House dishes include golden sand king prawns tossed with crushed crisp garlic and Peking fried lamb with leek. Hunan beef uses dried red chilli, while Wuxi style spare ribs bring a sweeter fruit based sauce. Chongqing dry fried chicken and traditional clay pot chicken offer further choices for diners seeking stronger spice and savoury depth.
Seafood, poultry and meat sections cover a wide choice of sauces and cooking styles, alongside curries and seasonal vegetables. Bean curd, mushrooms and vegetable combinations give meat free diners substantial options. Fried rice, steamed rice, ho fun and other noodle dishes complete a menu that works well for both individual orders and a larger shared table.
