A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Lamb cooked over wood charcoal suits a meat order with accompaniments chosen separately. The menu lists a 150 g portion. Discuss a side and sauce with the waiter if you would like to build a complete plate.
Flavour and serving
Taste the shashlik on its own first, then with your chosen sauce. This lets you appreciate the meat before adding other flavour accents.
Lamb lovers can compare shashlik, lula and loin. Shashlik is a useful starting point; choose the same side and sauce for all three to focus on the meat serving itself. For a group, discuss portion numbers together with vegetables and bread so that the complete table suits everyone's appetite.
What to try alongside
Compare lamb and chicken shashlik in a shared order. Charcoal-grilled vegetables can serve as one accompaniment for both meats.
