Kuzu İncik, or Lamb Shank, is a dish of pure comfort and slow-cooked perfection. It features the shank of the lamb, braised for hours with vegetables, herbs, and sometimes wine or tomato paste until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender. The collagen in the shank breaks down during the slow cooking, creating a gelatinous, rich sauce that coats the meat. Often served with mashed potatoes, vegetable puree, or rice pilaf, it is a centerpiece dish for Sunday dinners and special occasions.

The lamb shank portion was large, and much more meaty than shanks I've had elsewhere. It fell apart the moment I put a fork in it. I really liked how it was cooked. I couldn't figure out the point of the mashed potatoes here. The rice wasn't that great either. I also ordered a half portion of beef tandoor. That was good too.
