🍴 Dining Experience

one-word review: A must-visit for meat lovers. The restaurant is next to the Shenzhen 🕌 Mosque. It’s very crowded, with tables filling the entrance area. The diners included many foreigners and people with Middle Eastern features, so 👀 it seems we came to the right place.

We ordered a 👥 Set for Two: Desert Lamb Chops, Spinach & Bean Sprouts, Lamb Skewers, Dumplings, and Seabuckthorn Juice. Later, we couldn’t resist the craving and ordered a small bowl of Lamb Offal Soup and Roasted Lamb Chops with a friend.

Cold Dish Spinach & Bean Sprouts: Sour, crisp, and appetizing. Standard. The Seabuckthorn Juice was sweet and sour with a nice texture 😌; I liked it personally.
Lamb Skewers: Comparisons only included two skewers in the set. We were really craving more, so we ordered 4 more separately. They were devoured by my friend and me shortly after arriving. Delicious, truly delicious 😋.
Desert Lamb Chops 🐑: A must-eat for meat lovers. The thrill of eating big chunks of meat, paired with the unique sauce—mouthful of meat fragrance, oozing with happiness. The naan 🫓 underneath absorbed the juices of the lamb. Chewing it in your mouth—one bite to forget worries, one bite to turn upside down 🙃. It’s good to be able to eat.
Lamb Offal Soup: No gaminess or strong smell. Fresh and savory, flavor was just right. 15 RMB for a small portion. After gorging on meat, having a sip of this soup makes you feel life is good. Note: My friend found the flavor a bit light and asked for pepper powder later, but I found it just right 👍.
Roasted Lamb Chops: Ordered extra because we wanted to have enough lamb. We were quite full then, so I can’t evaluate the taste objectively. The meat chunks were especially large, actually much bigger than in the picture. The texture had a bit of chewiness, not gamey, and the seasoning was excellent 👌. A must-order for meat lovers.
