Rara Gosht

Dhamaka

Lower East Side·$$$

$42.00

Slow-cooked goat meat and goat mince in a potent, spice-rich gravy.

Tip: This is genuinely spicy. Don't ask for it mild—the heat is a core part of the flavor profile. Order a side of the buttery pav (rolls) to help manage the spice.

Goat Pulao

Dera

Jackson Heights·$$

$15.50

Fragrant basmati rice cooked with tender baby goat and aromatic whole spices.

Tip: The goat is bone-in, which is traditional and adds flavor. It's much lighter than a biryani—the focus is on the delicate spice of the rice. Order a side of raita to balance the heat.

Curried Goat Patties

Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi

Upper West Side·$$$$

$28.00

Crispy pastry filled with spiced goat meat and mango chutney.

Tip: These are smaller than a bodega patty but much more intense. One order comes with two, so plan accordingly if you're a larger group.

Champaran Meat

Dhamaka

Lower East Side·$$$

$42.00

Traditional mutton stew cooked in a sealed clay pot with whole garlic.

Tip: The whole roasted garlic cloves are incredibly sweet and soft—make sure to squeeze them onto your bread. It's one of the most savory things on the menu.

Baby Goat Biryani

Kanyakumari

Union Square·$$$

$32.00

Fragrant short-grain rice cooked with tender baby goat and regional spices.

Tip: The rice here is different—it's tiny and pearl-like. It absorbs the goat juices much better than basmati. Make sure to mix the masala from the bottom into the rice.
