“Seekh” translates directly to ‘skewer.’ Unlike grilling on a flat top, placing these minced lamb skewers into our 900°F (600°C) clay tandoor allows the meat to cook evenly from all sides. The intense radiant heat instantly creates a delicious, crusty char on the outside, sealing in the fat and juices of the lamb, while the dripping fats create a cloud of smoke that flavors the meat from the bottom up.
To make the most authentic lamb seekh kebab in Oakland, you need the perfect ratio of lean meat to fat, otherwise, the kebab will dry out or fall off the skewer. Our chefs meticulously double-grind the halal lamb and vigorously mix it with finely diced onions, fresh cilantro, and our proprietary spice blend. The mixture rests so the flavors can marry before being carefully hand-molded onto the iron skewers.
Your seekh kebabs are slid off the hot iron skewers directly onto a bed of sliced onions and fresh lemon wedges. They are always served with our signature cooling mint chutney, which is essential for dipping.
