Zhong Fa Yuan Muslim Restaurant

There are a few of these in Shenzhen as it is part of a chain. Most are around the size of a regular kfc and there are 2 larger branches with loads more on their menu. The branches are very clean and efficiently run. You are greeted as you walk in and as you leave. The menu needs to be upgraded as the English is very poor. Most of the dishes here are native to North West China and not the regular Cantonese dishes you may be familiar with in your home city. Most of the staff do not speak English so you will have to point at the pictures unless you speak Mandarin. Food is cheap and I this is my regular place to have breakfast, lunch and supper when in Shenzhen. Be brave and try some of the dishes you haven't heard of or don't understand, even if they look weird. Most are quite pleasant except their attempts at french fries, burger and chicken curry rice, which they should just take off the menu.

The quality of food and service well justify the ever-packed premises especially in the evening dinner hours
