Our Lamb Shank with Baghalipolo is one of the most celebrated dishes at Tehran Market & Cafe in Winnipeg. This hearty Persian classic features a whole lamb shank, slow-cooked for hours until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, richly flavored with traditional Persian spices and aromatics.
The lamb is served atop Baghali polo — a fragrant rice dish studded with tender fava beans and fresh dill, a combination that is deeply traditional in Persian cuisine. The contrast of the rich, savory lamb with the light, herby rice creates a perfectly balanced meal. This dish is a customer favorite and frequently highlighted in reviews as the standout slow-cook item on our menu. Available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery.
