Lamb in manhattan

[skis123]

I'm looking for a recommendation for a restaurant that has a delicious lamb option on their menu. My prince range is around $30 per person. Location and type of cuisine is flexible! Thank you!

And the lamb . . lies down . . on Broadway!

Thanks so much for the chuckle. Not many people will get this...

Lots of good suggestions here, I also like the lamb burger at BLT burger.

Lots of good suggestions on this thread.

I'll add the lamb burger at Belcourt ($15) and the lamb tandir at Turkish Kitchen ($18).

The bar at Ma Peche serves lamb neck banh mi and and also charred rice noodles with spicy lamb, bok choy, and basil. Both are quite tasty.

I also like the lamb chops at Babbo and the Duo of Colorado Lamb at Hotel Griffou.

Lamb is one of my favorite foods, and so I order it often in restaurants. Excellent quality lamb chops are expensive, so finding them on a menu for less than $30 is difficult. For example, Keens' signature mutton chop, listed below, is $48. And their double lamb chops are $42.

You can sometimes find lamb chops on lunch menus at a cost to fit your budget since portions tend to be smaller. At Tulsi, Hemant's superb Tandoor-Grilled Lamb Chops are $34 at dinner but $24 at lunch.

Less expensive cuts of lamb and burgers made from those cuts will, of course, be cheaper.

On Maialino's lunch menu, Braised Lamb with Black Olives & Spinach is $23.

At DBGB, the Lamb Merguez is $14 at lunch and $15 at dinner.

Really liked the lamb chops at Devi although it has been a while since I have been there. Not sure if it is under $30 or not.

Lamb 3 Ways at Hearth - but check to see if it's on the menu - it rotates in and out.

$30 for the lamb dish? Or $30 including appetizers, dessert, drinks, tax and tip?

My favorites include:

- mutton chop at Keens
- lamb burger at The Breslin
- smoked lamb link at The Dutch
- cumin lamb at Szechuan Gourmet
- cumin lamb burger at Xi'an Famous Foods

Only tried it once, but I think I might like the lamb burger at Fish Tag better than the one at The Breslin.

Right, forgot about Fish Tag, Their lamb burger is great. Less salty than The Breslin.

Cumin lamb at Legend is something not to be missed, although SG has a good rendition too. I am pretty sure it is well under $20 at both places.

I'm a much bigger fan of the interplay of tastes and textures in the lamb face salad than the cumin lamb at Xi'an. I'll admit, though, that I seem to have an aversion to cumin and lamb -- it just seems incredibly bland and dusty tasting to me.

[peter j]

Interesting to note your aversion to cumin and lamb. It's one of my favorite flavor combos, usually very spicy and not bland to me. I'll try the lamb face salad next time I'm at Xi'an.

I second the lamb burger at the Breslin! It's more expensive, but the Breslin also has a whole lamb dinner (for 8-12 people) that is amazing!
