T2’s halal snack stalls are usually grouped together, but Muslim Snack Bar gives you an actual name to look for.
This spot sits in Terminal T2, post-security, in the domestic departures area, so you can grab food after clearing checks and before heading to gates for Xi’an, Beijing, or Shanghai flights. Signage can skew Chinese-first; look for “Muslim Snack Bar” in smaller English letters under the main Chinese board. It’s counter-service only, no table service, very much an order-pay-pickup setup.
Food here leans classic northwest halal snacks you see across Xi’an: think beef or lamb options, flatbreads, and simple noodle bowls. Pricing at XIY’s T2 Muslim outlets usually runs in the RMB 30–60 range for a filling plate or bowl, sitting a bit higher than downtown but normal for an airport. Expect disposable bowls and chopsticks, with orders coming out in roughly 5–10 minutes, so it still works when boarding is in 40 minutes.
If they have it on the day, a safe bet is a hot noodle soup with beef plus a side flatbread, which together should land under RMB 70. Portions at T2 Muslim counters typically skew large enough to count as a full meal rather than a snack. Drinks lean basic: bottled water, canned soft drinks, and sometimes sweet yogurt drinks around RMB 8–15. Don’t expect alcohol here; it’s a halal-focused stall.
Dining area options in T2 near Muslim Snack Bar are mostly shared public seating, so you may end up carrying your tray to seats near the closest gate. That makes this better for solo or two-person groups than a big family spread. Lines spike around the 11:00–13:00 and 18:00–20:00 domestic departure waves. Tip: build in an extra 10 minutes to find the stall, since many terminal signs just say “Muslim snacks” instead of listing Muslim Snack Bar by name.
