Goat Dishes in Boston

[sekelmaan]

Hello board. I am interested in trying to find dishes that use goat meat in the Boston or near Boston area. The best answer would be a Vietnamese goat curry called de xao lan, but any other will do as well.

Thanks!

The Saturday-only Haitian goat's head soup at La Pearle in Everett. A delicious big bowl of tender bony goat meat, potatoes and other vegetables, and dumplings. Not spicy. It's really popular and sells out, regulars call and reserve in advance.

[sekelmaan]

I want that.

[Nab]

Just last night, my cabbie declared La Pearle's bouillon to be among the top 5 in town. Now having heard about it twice in 12 hours, I'm putting it in the top 5 of my priority list.

[galangatron]

another recommendation for the bouillon tête cabrit (goat head soup) at la perle in everett. tender chunks of bone-in goat meat, whole potatoes, green plantain, carrots, and handmade dumplings in a super delicious broth

[sekelmaan]

This is killin me. I will be out of town for the next two saturdays! Nooo!!!

[Taralli]

The soup was so rich & just loved the dumplings that reminded me of large firmer rice sticks. Added some of the vinegar from the accompanying little cups julienned hot peppers for some bite & tang. Will definitely revisit for the soup & try some of the stewed items, as went too overboard with fried ones.

Just tried the Goat Biryani at Biryani Park. Neither too dry nor too greasy and just the right amount of heat. Excellent.

You miss goat meat? Darbur in Brighton has excellent Pakistani food and a number of goat dishes.

[sekelmaan]

Awesome. This is what I really love. Thanks!

[sekelmaan]

We rocked Darbar today for lunch. Goat karahi, beef nihari and goat paya. All three were excellent. I think it is one of the better nihari's I have had, rich and spicy. The karahi was also outstanding, I got two marrow bones! I brought home a goat foot paya for dinner. It smells amazing. Great rec, thank you!

[sekelmaan]

Goat vindaloo at Super 88 was awesome. An excellent and fiery dish. They also served us the worst chicken tikka masala I have ever had. It was watery and bland and it had huge pre-cooked squares of chicken in it, a dreadful dish.

Next door at the Korean place we also had an amazing spicy squid and pork belly. It came with rice and a little pickled bean sprouts. It was rich and spicy and a little sweet and salty. A great balanced dish.

[sekelmaan]

We are finally moved out here. Yay! We got out to Dorchester last weekend and tried Shanti. We had the goat curry and the lamb tikka masala. The curry was excellent. I think it could have been bolder, more fragrant, but it was an excellent curry. The lamb tikka masala was great too. I have never had it with lamb and we really enjoyed it.

I also just realized that one of the recommendations is for Super 88. I will have to find Kantin. I had some awesome and super spicy som tum today for lunch, talk about spicy!

I'll keep reporting my finds.

Thanks!

Just happened to try the creole goat at highland creole today. Really delicious red/brown gravy with melting goat. Lots of bones to suck. Huge mound of rice and beans and a couple of fried plantains for ten bucks. Recommend!

[StriperGuy]

That's the thing about boning a goat, if you do, there's nothing left to suck...

[secondbreakfast]

Nearly every curry at Shanti in Dorchester is gettable with goat...

I had their goat curry at their stand at the Brimfield Fair, and it was indeed excellent. The coconut cake was so so good, too. Super friendly proprietress!

[sekelmaan]

I am definitely pleased. I can't believe that there are so many great responses.

Thank you very much!

Spicy Coconut Curried Goat Stew at Highland Kitchen.
Goat Curry (bone-in) at India Quality (available at lunch, too).
You will be pleased.

[kobuta]

There's a stewed goat at Izzy's in Cambridge too, but it's not a daily item. They have a number of "specials" on certain days of the week, so you would need to check which day the stewed goat is offered.

[Bartolo]

The stewed goat at Izzy's is a favorite of ours, more so in the winter months. A lunch of stewed goat, rice, beans and plantains (both sweet and salty) at Izzy's is a treat.

[passing thru]

that stewed goat at Izzy's is a really nice, hearty lunch. I love when that is on the menu...

[Bob Dobalina]

The goat stew at Highland Kitchen is a mainstay.

[Ruprecht]

Curry Goat Stew at the Silk Road BBQ "truck" is quite tasty too.

[hotoynoodle]

yes. this. ^^^

[Worlds2See]

Highland Kitchen's goat stew is awesome!

Goat Haleem at Darbar, Curried goat with pigeon peas and rice from Flames, Korean Goat from the Westborough Korean Restaurant (I haven't had this but dying to try), Goat biryani from Biryani House (Malden).

[sekelmaan]

Oh yeah! I have never had goat haleem, that just has to be awesome. What about goat nihari? Have you ever seen that? That would be a dream dish. Great recs, thanks!

[Prav]

the goat haleem is amazing! so rich and calorious, it's even better the next day when the flavors have melded (sorta like lasagna).

sometimes they've told me it's beef. i would ask.

[Nab]

Always good to axe at Darbar. They have a number of goat dishes, including goat nihari and goat paya, when it's available. If you're really set on it, just call them in advance, and they'll be sure to have it. They once told me they were fresh out of brains and then a guy ran out the back and re-appeared with brains lickity split.

[owades]

I second the recommendation for the Black Goat Stew (also called "nutritious casserole") at the Westborough Korean Restaurant, and for the Goat Biryani at Biryani Park in Malden (which I had again last night).

[CookieLee]

And keeping with the goat theme, for dessert I recommend the goat cheese brownie ice cream at Toscanini's!

[galleygirl]

OMG, that totally rocks!

[Luther]

Kantin in the Super 88 food court (Allston) has a traditional Cantonese stewed goat dish, complete with a little plastic cup of authentic sauce made from authentically stanky fermented tofu.

[sekelmaan]

Oh my, that sounds amazing.

[Luther]

It's pretty good

[KWagle]

Is that goat or lamb? I'm not sure I know the difference in written Chinese.

[Luther]

goat

[rlee21]

There isn't a generally a distinction between goat and lamb in written Chinese.

[KWagle]

I often see 山羊 on menus, which Google thinks is goat (and other sources lead me to concur.)
