HIGHWATER LAMB. 🔥

Pure South lamb shoulder. Persian spice rubbed, slowly cooked overnight then finished in the charcoal oven before being served with its juices & a Persian-style mint sauce 🔥 Beautifully spiced & smoky, with just a hint of sweetness — and so soft you can cut it with a spoon. 🤌🥄

Order as a half or a whole or enjoy as one of eight dishes on our $87 Chefs Menu.

With Father’s Day just around the corner, forget the socks, slippers or un**es and go straight for the sweet spot 🍴🔥

We’ve still got a couple of tables available this weekend (if you’re quick), so give us a call or head to our website to book🧡
