Book NowAbout Lamb & Cumin Chatswood
Real charcoal smoke cuts through the Westfield Chatswood food court, delivering northern Chinese street-style skewers grilled to order. Regulars line up in Hawker Lane for the signature chuan'r—tender lamb heavily dusted with toasted cumin and chili—pulled hot off the embers. Pair two skewer sets with warm flatbread to strip the meat from the bamboo sticks, toss in a side of spiced peanuts, and wash it down with a cold Tsingtao beer.
- Real Charcoal Grilling: Skewers are grilled over live charcoal to order rather than fried or griddled, imparting a deep, authentic char.
- Licensed for Beer: An unexpected perk for a food court counter, offering cold Tsingtao beer alongside spiced share platters.

Why Choose Lamb & Cumin Chatswood
Why diners choose Lamb & Cumin in Westfield Chatswood
Real Charcoal-Grilled Cumin Skewers
Fresh lamb skewers are seasoned with cumin and grilled directly over charcoal rather than deep fried or cooked on gas griddles.
The BBQ is charcoaled, and not fried! The texture and the charcoal taste and cumin marinade is good!
Rockin' Robin Freshly Cooked to Order
Skewers are cooked to order and served fresh and hot for a satisfying meal.
The lamb skewers were the star of the show, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
Hemanta Sapkota Rich, Smoky Street-Style Char
Charcoal cooking in a food court setting imparts a deep, smoky street-barbecue flavor.
This method imbues the meat with a rich, smoky flavor that's hard to find in Australia, particularly in the realm of quick service eateries.
Onder “Gokie” Gok Satisfying Char and Succulent Meat
Succulent grilled lamb pairs with warm flatbread and smoke charring for a complete, satisfying bite.
The charring and taste of the smoke made the succulent lamb even more delicious!
Matthew Shanahan (Matt) Platters Made for Sharing
Generous sharing platters with assorted skewers and chili peanuts offer a fulfilling meal to enjoy together.
I truly loved the share plate; it was so fulfilling, especially the skewers and the chili peanuts.
Gizem Erel Licensed for Beer and Skewer Pairings
Unlike standard food court stalls, diners can accompany their skewers and peanuts with cold Tsingtao beer.
The restaurant surprisingly has a liquor license which was unexpected for a tiny food court establishment. This meant we could enjoy a Tsingtao beer with our meal.

Before you head over
Practical tips on ordering and timing for your visit to Hawker Lane
Allow 10–15 Minutes for Fresh Grilling
Skewers are grilled fresh to order over charcoal, so expect a 10 to 15-minute preparation wait after ordering.
Order Flatbread Separately
Skewers are served without bread or sides, so order flatbread separately to balance the spices and round out the meal.
Scout Food Court Seating Early
Seating in the busy Hawker Lane food court can fill up quickly during peak hours, so secure a nearby table before ordering.
