Our Lamb Rogan Josh is a slow-cooked celebration of Kashmiri cuisine — fall-away tender lamb simmered in a deeply spiced, aromatic gravy built with whole spices, Kashmiri red chili, and slow-braised onions. One of the highest-rated dishes at Taste of Hakka & Thakali Kitchen & Bar on Edmonton’s 118 Ave NW.
Rogan Josh is a crown jewel of Kashmiri cuisine, known for its deep ruby-red colour, aromatic whole spices, and meltingly tender meat. At Taste of Hakka & Thakali Kitchen & Bar, we prepare it the traditional way — slow-cooking lamb with whole spices including black cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, and fennel seeds, layered with a rich base of caramelized onions, ginger, and Kashmiri red chili that gives the dish its signature colour without excessive heat.
The extended cooking time allows the lamb to absorb every layer of spice and develop that characteristic depth of flavour that defines a great Rogan Josh. The gravy is thick, rich, and complex — perfect for soaking up with freshly baked garlic naan or spooning over steamed basmati rice. Our guests consistently rank this as one of the finest lamb dishes in Edmonton.

“Dropped in for lunch and was met with a pleasant server. The Paneer Pakoras were among the best I’ve tasted. Our Lamb Rogan Josh curry was excellent with fall-away tender lamb in an intricate gravy. Good food portions. Excellent prices in the $12 to $14 range.”

“I’ve eaten a lot of Indian food in Edmonton, but this is definitely my favourite. My first order was lamb curry with garlic naan. Generous chunks of lamb in a thick gravy — it was a treat. Great value, great food.”

“Experience was great and memorable. Owner and staff are so friendly with allergy awareness for dietary customers. Goat curry and rice is best. Great food and service.”
