Delicious Xinjiang Restaurant — Restaurant in Zone 1

Finally a real Chinese place !!!! This place isn’t for the faint hearted or people who love ketchup based gravy or those who want cornflour curry yes that’s what I call the food that is served in Chinese restaurants across the twin cities!

We were two people & since we are regulars at a place in Dubai that serves food mainly from Sichuan province. This particular dish is owned by Xinjang province, people rarely know it was made by a migrant who sold it out of whole to truck drivers, initially on the highway. ( I’m a food blogger, I do my research, you all should too) Da Panji ( name, portion featured is the smallest one )

Big Plate, Big Flavors

Big Plate Chicken, as it’s translated in English, is very much at home in Chengdu and has several ingredients in common with Sichuan stews and braises. It gets a bit of heat from Sichuan pepper and doubanjiang but also shows its Xinjiang roots by featuring smoky cumin and fat wheat noodles.

This can shared between a minimum of four people, I recommend trying Sho Mian , Laziji & Laghman is you’re a noodle person. If you’re into meat they’ve a noodle soup, with beef broth looked like a ramen to me !

Remember these restaurants have a whatever is ready will be served policy. Respect tradition.

Ask for a pot of Green tea at the start of your meal, avoid water or fizzy drinks before or between the meal. Take family and friends so you can try more things in sharing, most things...

For a quick meal or a casual dinner, this place is okay, but there are better options for Chinese cuisine in the area. With some tweaks, this restaurant could definitely become a...

Family of 5 dine last night. The guy appeared manger was either goofy or bigot did not answer any question or assisted in choosing any dish as new comers. It was long wait before food was delivered one person at a time and rest just waited, meat was very hard and soup extremely spicy while manger was asked for milder, insects were flying around and crawling on the ground and on tables, and at end price were gouged what it was listed on Manue, wanted to get out of there without any show or saying so paid what was billed with the thought never ever going back there...
