Pakistani Shami Kabab Near Patong Beach
Royal Kitchen Patong offers Shami Kabab for visitors searching for familiar Pakistani and Indian flavours in Phuket. The dish combines ground lamb, chickpeas, herbs and spices to create a soft, savoury centre with a lightly crisp exterior.
Shami Kabab is different from a seekh kabab. Seekh kababs are formed into long shapes around a skewer, while Shami Kabab is shaped into a round, flattened patty. It is also different from a Western burger because its flavour comes from the combination of meat, chickpeas, herbs and South Asian seasoning rather than a simple minced-meat patty.
Guests can order Shami Kabab as an appetizer before a main course or combine it with several dishes for a shared meal. It is a useful choice for couples, families and groups who want to sample different flavours from the Royal Kitchen menu.
