About Lovin' Lamb Burwood

Burwood Chinatown regulars know the aroma hitting the pavement means only one thing—chuan'r grilled over real charcoal to order. The takeaway counter keeps things focused on lamb skewers threaded with alternating cubes of rendered fat, heavily dusted with coarse cumin and chili flakes across five heat tiers. Grab a warm bundle in hand for a quick stroll, or opt for lean-only cuts and chewy beef tendon.

  • Grilled over live charcoal: Skewers sizzle directly over hot coals rather than gas griddles, imparting a distinct smoky char to order.
  • Balanced meat-and-fat skewers: Signature lamb skewers alternate juicy meat with rendered fat for rich texture, with lean-only skewers also on offer.
  • Adjustable spice heat: Customize the heat across five tiers, from a gentle dusting of chili to sweat-inducing extra hot paired with coarse cumin.
