I'm a HUGE fan of lamb, so I make a point of always getting it when I can.
I did tonight, and was not disappointed one bit.
In the end, the entire thing tasted like Indian with more of what I

dramatic contrasts between flavors (spicy spicy cardamom kebabs with
super-sour lemon yogurt dip and a side of cool salted cucumbers, frex)
