Seekh Kebab (Lamb Kebab)

About This Dish

Seekh Kebab is a crowd-favourite lamb kebab known for its amazing combination of smokiness, spices, and juicy meat. These kebabs feature finely minced lamb, blended with a vibrant mix of aromatics—like ginger, garlic, garam masala, coriander, and fresh herbs. The meat is then shaped around long skewers, or seekh, and grilled until perfectly charred on the outside and succulent inside—an exquisite combination typical of kebabs.

The marination process is key—it lets the flavours penetrate deeply, so every bite is packed with savoury depth. Often served with naan, mint chutney, or a crisp onion salad, Seekh Kebab is both comforting and bold—a true tandoori staple that brings people back for more.

History & Tradition

Seekh Kebab finds its origin in the royal kitchens and nomadic traditions of Central Asia, brought into India through Persian and Turkish influences. The word “Seekh” translates to skewer, which defines both the technique and style of this dish. Originally cooked in clay ovens or over charcoal fires, the Indian version evolved to include more robust spices and regional flavours.

Over time, it became a fixture of North Indian cuisine—loved in street stalls, home kitchens, and high-end dining alike. Its simplicity, versatility, and smoky aroma have cemented these lamb kebabs as a classic.

What Makes It Special

At BKC London, our Seekh Kebab stands out for its texture and seasoning. The minced lamb allows for a smooth, almost velvety bite, while the spice blend adds warmth and complexity without overwhelming the palate. When grilled slowly, the outside crisps up, while the inside remains juicy and tender—a heavenly combination.

Unlike whole meat kebabs, Seekh Kebab is softer and more uniform; ideal for soaking up chutneys or enjoying inside a warm wrap. It’s satisfying, flavour-packed, and endlessly versatile— perfect for anyone who loves kebabs with character and spice.

These Seekh Kebabs were absolutely spot on. Juicy, smoky, and packed with flavour, just like the ones you find in Old Delhi. The spices were balanced perfectly and the meat was tender inside with a lovely char on the outside. Paired with mint chutney, it was a total winner. Reminded me of home-cooked kebabs from my childhood.

I have had lamb kebabs before, but nothing like these. The texture was soft and juicy, with a lovely smoky flavour that lingered. They tasted freshly grilled and the seasoning was bold but not overpowering. Honestly, I could have eaten a whole plate on my own. Great with the chutney and warm naan on the side.

The Seekh Kebab here is absolutely delicious. Each bite had that perfect mix of heat, herbs, and smokiness. You can tell the lamb is marinated well and grilled with care. It had that proper barbecue depth without being greasy. Easily one of the best kebabs I have had in the UK, hands down.

FAQs

A: They’re moderately spiced—flavourful and warming, with a balance of heat and aroma.

A: The lamb is finely minced & marinated with traditional spices and herbs. These kebabs are then moulded onto skewers before being grilled to a smoky finish.
