China is emerging as a top travel destination for 2025, fueling a growing fascination with its rich culinary heritage. This month, Murger Han brings the authentic flavors of Xi’an to the CBD with a menu that’s both delicious and affordable. Originally from London, the chain is beloved for its signature Murgers—filled with pork, lean pork, or spicy cumin chicken in flatbread or crusty bread—and hand-pulled biang biang noodles with customizable toppings like braised beef and pork.
Since opening its first Xi’an-style restaurant in London in 2014, Murger Han has grown into a citywide favorite, expanding to Mayfair, Bank, and Elephant & Castle. As it marks its 10th anniversary, Murger Han continues to celebrate the culinary traditions of northwest China while sharing its culture with the world. The chain’s iconic dishes, from the ancient Roujiamo to the fiery biang biang noodles, reflect the rich history and innovation of Xi’an cuisine.
At the heart of Murger Han’s offerings are time-honored recipes like Roujiamo, a 2,000-year-old “sandwich” born during the Qin Dynasty, and cold noodles, a dish created for Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Clay pot dishes and Murger soup add comforting flavors steeped in history. By combining authentic techniques with a deep respect for tradition, Murger Han offers a true taste of Xi’an, inviting diners on a journey through China’s culinary past.
