South Asian buyers are one of the biggest groups in Yiwu, and the biryani follows them: visitors count thirty Indian restaurants on Chengbei Road alone, and Pakistani canteens sit two minutes from the market gates. This page lists the ones visitors talk about, flags the vegetarian option, and says what still needs checking.

这家价格就亲民很多人均100吧 也是必吃榜 服务员都是印度人 很绅士很礼貌 咖喱虾和黄油饼巨好吃! 马莎拉脆球48太贵了吃不惯别点Prices here are much friendlier, about ¥100 a head, and it's on the must-eat list too. The waiters are all Indian, very gentlemanly and polite. The curry prawns and butter naan are fantastic! The masala puri at ¥48 is too pricey and I couldn't get used to it — skip it.
老板是地道印度人,超会唠!看我第一次来,直接手把手教玛莎拉吃法、烤饼蘸咖喱的正宗姿势,社恐星人完全不用慌~The owner is a real Indian and loves to chat: seeing it was my first time, he showed me hands-on how to eat masala puri and dip naan in curry — no stress for the socially anxious.
玛莎拉奶茶带着姜香,印度脆球淋上神秘绿色酱汁,人均80+就能体验孟买街头风味。Masala chai with a ginger note, crispy puris drizzled with a mysterious green sauce — ¥80-odd per person buys you Mumbai street flavours.
中东街附近开到半夜三点的印度菜,宽松的营业时间救了俩晚上10点才到的饿霸。Indian food near the Middle Eastern street, open until 3 am — the late hours rescued two starving people who only arrived at 10 pm.
一屋子就我一个中国面孔这家的鸡肉咖喱很好吃,推荐!I was the only Chinese face in the room; the chicken curry here is very good — recommended!
老板有两家店,我们刚开始走到了素食店,点餐的时候服务员说是在隔壁,都是同一个老板,老板和服务员都是印度人,服务员中文比较差,很难听懂,老板会简单的,可以基础沟通。The owner has two shops; we first walked into the vegetarian one, and when ordering the waiter said the other is next door, same owner. Owner and staff are Indian; the waiters' Chinese is weak and hard to follow, the owner manages simple Chinese for basic communication.
Many Indian buyers need vegetarian food; many Pakistani buyers need halal meat. Visitors report one Indian owner running a meat kitchen and a pure-vegetarian shop side by side (FBI Nanye), and paneer, dal and vegetable curries on most Indian menus. Whether vegetarian food is cooked separately is something only a visit can answer. On every review we will state: (1) whether a vegetarian menu exists and whether it is cooked separately, and (2) the halal tag and method for the meat.
The crisp shells with green mint water are the dish Chinese visitors most often regret; South Asian visitors love them. Order one plate to share, not one each.
Several visitors describe a heavy-spice hangover the next day. Ask for medium (中辣) or mild (微辣); butter chicken and paneer are the gentle entry.
Visitors ask whether Vatan takes online queue numbers — confirm on arrival; group-buy vouchers may not be valid on holidays.
Pakistani kitchens near the market go quiet after lunch; some cooks stop taking orders late in the evening. A Hot Chilli is the reliable late-night room.
Kitchens cook to South Asian taste by default. Ask for medium if you are unsure; Chinese guests often ask for mild.
Two-person sets at ¥100–110 feed two well; biryani plates are generous. Visitors are routinely told to stop ordering.
Expect English and Chinese; Urdu or Hindi menus are common. Owners often speak English, staff less so.
Pick a restaurant first, then list the dishes or ingredients you need to ask about. Justin can discuss a short Chinese call or message; cooking separation and halal status still need confirmation from the kitchen. Availability and any fee are agreed before the task begins.
Walking estimates use map data; we have not timed these routes on foot; taxi benchmarks are on the Route Planner. South Asian buyers who stay near the market for weeks: see where to stay and long-stay options.

Thirty Indian kitchens on one road.
Yes — visitors describe Chengbei Road as a street of some thirty Indian restaurants, and Pakistani canteens (Bark, Batie, a new roast-chicken place) within two or three minutes of the market gates. Walk times from each district are published per restaurant after measurement.
Vatan (Mite) on Chengbei Road is the one visitors name first: Indian-owned for twenty years, with the owner explaining dishes at the table. A Hot Chilli is the late-night choice, FBI Nanye the one with a vegetarian shop next door.
For the First-Timer:Pakistani-run kitchens are described as halal by visitors; Indian-run ones vary and nobody in the public posts checked. Every tag on this page is ‘reported’ until we ask the owner and state the method.
For the Veteran:If a tag changed with new ownership, report it and we re-check.
Yes: South Asian restaurants offer dal, paneer and vegetable curries, one Indian owner runs a pure-vegetarian shop (next to FBI Nanye), and many Chinese restaurants can cook vegetable dishes on request (see how to order). Whether vegetarian food is cooked separately is stated per restaurant after a visit.
Visitors report ¥60 per curry and ¥80+ a head at Vatan, two-person sets around ¥100–110 at the Pakistani and North Indian rooms, and ¥40 for a roast-chicken rice beside the market. We publish what we paid, with the date, after each visit.
