Lamb Chops, Grilled the Way You Ask For Them

Three chops, seasoned simply, cooked over heat until the fat renders and the edges char - served with saffron rice, grilled vegetables and your choice of salad. $25.95.

What you actually get

Lamb Chops (3) — $25.95. Tender lamb chops cooked to perfection, served with rice, grilled vegetables, and your choice of salad.

We season rather than marinate. Good lamb does not need to be hidden, and the point of a chop is the contrast between a charred, rendered edge and a pink centre. Tell us how you want them - most people say medium, and most people are right.

Why lamb chops are hard to find done properly in Louisville

Lamb chops are an unforgiving cut. They are expensive, they cook fast, and a minute of inattention turns them grey. Plenty of kitchens either skip them or hold them under heat until they are safe and joyless.

We have been grilling them on Preston Highway since 1998, which is long enough to have gotten the timing into our hands rather than a chart. They are cooked to order, one plate at a time.

They are also 100% halal, like everything else on our menu - which is not true of most places in the city serving a chop at this level.

Marinated lamb chunks chargrilled with peppers and onions. A different cut and a different texture from the chops.
