Charcoal Lamb Skewer Stand
×Lamb Skewers
Why you must eat itLean and fat are threaded in turn, laid over charcoal, and fanned while salt, cumin, and chili powder are scattered on. Dripping fat throws up flame, and smoke and scent drift down the street. The surface chars while the inside still holds juice. Cumin rounds off the lamb's edge, and the fat melts as you bite. Order a few at a time and eat hot, straight from the skewer. Evening brings crowds and a line beneath the smoke.
Lamb skewers are central to Hui cooking, with cumin and charcoal forming the frame of the taste. In Xi'an both large and slim skewers appear, and you order by the count. Prices track the size of the meat, so judge by the skewer's heft. Check crowding and hours on site.
