MAPS:

Here are some maps to places we've eaten in Shenzhen. If it's not here, it just means we haven't gone as a group. Also, some of these may change with the new Metro Lines opening:

"Pure Veg" (Chinese):

LUOHU: Dengpin, Green Life, and Tian Chu
LUOHU: Summer Tea House (Jing Yi Cha Guan), Bao'an near Sungang
LUOHU: Windlucky (Yunlaiju) Dongmen

FUTIAN: Awaken, Hua Qiang Bei
FUTIAN: Jin Hai Ge, Futian (Ke Xue Guan area)
FUTIAN: Windlucky (Yunlaiju) Xiang Mi Hu (Map and Satellite versions; be sure view is set appropriately)
NANSHAN: Fu Tian Lin "Fullness" Vegetarian Restaurant, Guimiao (near Nanshan Book City)

---The following are NOT "pure veg" unless noted---

Indian, Pakistani, Turkish:
LUOHU: 1947 Indian (Guomao)
LUOHU: Bollywood Cafe Indian (Guomao)
LUOHU: Shanghai Punjabi Indian (east of Dongmen)
LUOHU: Taj Indian (Guomao) (includes Bollywood and 1947)

FUTIAN: Dewan E Khass Pakistani (between Ke Xue Guan and Hua Qiang Lu)
FUTIAN: Mevlana Turkish, Hua Qiang Bei

Also worth mentioning (suggestions welcome):

LUOHU: Spice Circle Indian Guo Mao, Papa Jon's near MixC, second Jin Hai Ge (pure veg)

FUTIAN:

Coco Park: Focaccino Italian, Subway Sandwiches, Papa Jon's

Coco Park North: Little India, La Casa, The Kitchen, Tequila Coyote Mexican

Central Walk: Subway Sandwiches, NYPD Pizza (and more), Spring Vietnamese, Spaghetti House

NANSHAN:

Shekou: Spice Circle Indian,Bombay Indian, Tequila Coyote Mexican

Coastal City: Spaghetti House, Papa Jon's

Numerous other Pizza Huts and Papa Jon's

N.B.: I tend not to trust Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian food, as there are often seafood sauces involved; and many Chinese "curries" have pork in the sauce, even if "veg curry"; ditto for Japanese curry.

Comment by Rain - Unlicensed Sexologist on April 17, 2013 at 11:34pm: Hi Anna, while I don't have any knowledge about that place, but I know of another home-made style Chinese vegetarian restaurant in Chegongmiao. During the evenings it's a standard restaurant and can be quite expensive, but during lunchtime they run a cheap buffet of 20-30 RMB.

It's in the same building as the Terra Hotel.

Your post is quite old but does the place still exist?

Cheers,

Kaisa
