Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles

Xi'an Famous Foods

East Village·$

$13.25

Thick, chewy hand-ripped noodles with tender lamb, cumin, and hot chili oil.

Tip: These MUST be eaten immediately. The noodles continue to absorb the spicy oil and can lose their perfect chewy texture within 15 minutes. If you're solo, the East Village counter is the best place to eat.

Lamb Ribs

Eyval

Bushwick·$$$

$26.00

Wood-grilled lamb ribs with a tamarind and date glaze.

Tip: These are small, so treat them as an appetizer rather than a main. The tamarind glaze provides a perfect acidic counterpoint to the rich lamb fat.

#397% recommend

Curried Lamb Scotch Egg

Lord's

Greenwich Village·$$$

$16.00

A soft-boiled egg encased in spiced lamb sausage, breaded and fried.

Tip: One is perfect for sharing between two people. The curry flavor in the lamb is subtle but adds a great depth that standard scotch eggs lack.

#496% recommend

Shawarma Sandwich

Mamoun's Falafel

Greenwich Village·$

$12.36

Slow-roasted marinated lamb sliced from a vertical rotisserie in a pita.

Tip: Get the 'Combo' if you're hungry—it gives you both shawarma and falafel in one sandwich. It's the best of both worlds.

#595% recommend

Attu Kari Sukka

Semma

Greenwich Village·$$$

$34.00

Lamb shoulder slow-cooked with black cardamom and Tellicherry peppers.

Tip: Order a side of parotta (flaky flatbread) to go with this. You'll want it to scoop up the spice-heavy bits of lamb.

#695% recommend

#795% recommend

Fettuccine with Lamb Ragu

Lilia

Williamsburg·$$$

Tip: If you want something more substantial than the agnolotti, this is your dish. The lamb is cooked low and slow — it falls apart and distributes evenly through the pasta.
