Since the early days of King Street, I have long wanted to try out The Lamb Shop. Every time I walk past, I am always tempted by the wafting smell of char grilled lamb emanating from the store, but invariably, every time, I had made alternate dinner plans. Tasked with organising girl's night dinner, there was finally nothing standing in my way from trying it out and enjoying a feast of lamb over with great company.
The setup was relaxed and casual. Menus were provided on the high set tables and also on the wall. Other than ourselves, there was only another table for dine in, with a constant stream of take away orders as we ate.
We ordered at the counter, but food was brought out to us. I liked the open plan kitchen which allowed us to watch both the lamb and the chicken as it was slowly grilled on the spit.
Starting off, we had two small plates, the Lamb and the Chicken to share. Each came with 200g portions from the spit and were served with Pita Bread ant Tzatziki. Even though we knew the portions would be 200g, it still appeared a bit small on the plate, especially when shared around. I preferred the charred lamb over the chicken as it was quite moist and flavoursome but the chicken did have a bit more tangy lemon flavours to it.
Our other lamb dish was the Char Grilled Lamb Ribs. Again the portion wasn't that large, but the lamb was definitely very tasty. With meat that easily fell off the bone, it was well marinated and infused with Greek herbs and the strong tang of lemon juice. A definite crowd pleaser, I just wish there was more to go around.
For our sides, we opted for a simple Cabbage Slaw and some Hand Cut Chips with Feta. Both were fairly large in portion, the slaw was shredded very finely and drizzled with light dressing to balance out our very meat heavy meal. The chips were chunky and added feta ensured an element of creaminess to the side.
