Roman’s lamb shank

This may be one of the best kept secrets in Baton Rouge. Cooked in a cast iron skillet in the wood oven in a rich gravy. Served with rice, hummus, pita. Had this tonight. It is fantastic.
I feel like I posted this the last time I had it. I searched, but couldn’t find it.

That sounds delicious. Is that a finishing step? Wood fired oven sounds hot for a braise type gravy dish.

It must be. It’s definitely braised for a long period. It falls apart.

Albasha also has a good lamb shank

Does it really look like this? If so, I might go this weekend.

Maybe not quite that big, but that’s a fair representation

Very much agree that Roman's shank is outstanding and a great improvement over gyro mystery meat.

Here's another pic... just trying to get an idea of which amount of gravy is more accurate. Oh well, I guess I can always ask for extra.

The first pic is much more representative of the dish I had last night.

Just got back from Roman's. The lamb shank was absolutely delicious, every bit as good as you said. Thank you so much for the recommendation!

Bump.
The tomato gravy is so good.. rich, garlic, acidic. their fresh hot pita out of the brick oven is perfect to sop it up. As fine of an entree dish available in greater BR area. Also, it’s quite reasonable by today’s standards at $30.

Haven’t seen their wood oven, but the one I cooked on for years would run 700-750 in the center but the back corners would run way less than that. Shank heating could do fine. Obviously it does

I’ve really got to try this. It’s just never on my radar.

Definitely agree... excellent braised shank...maybe not great food photo...but good eating.
