Slow-Cooked, Charbroiled, Always Fresh
Lamb has been at the heart of Mediterranean cooking for thousands of years, and at Phoenician Garden in Fresno, it remains one of the most beloved dishes on our menu. Our signature lamb shank is slow-cooked in a rich tomato sauce infused with red wine and aromatic orange peels, a preparation that transforms a humble cut into something extraordinary. Every order is served with a medley of seasonal vegetables alongside rice or potatoes, and the meat falls off the bone before your fork even touches it. We use across our entire menu, sourced from certified suppliers who meet the standards our guests expect.
Beyond the lamb shank, our grill turns out some of the best kebobs in Fresno. The lamb shish kebobs start with premium cuts marinated for 24 hours in traditional Mediterranean spices, then charbroiled over an open flame until the edges caramelize and the center stays tender and juicy. Our kefta kebobs blend ground beef and lamb with fresh parsley and onions, shaped by hand and grilled to order. The charbroiling method is what sets these apart. Direct heat at high temperature seals in the juices and produces that unmistakable smoky char that you simply cannot replicate in an oven.
Phoenician Garden has been serving Fresno from our location at First and Herndon since 2003. Whether you are joining us for a weeknight dinner or celebrating a special occasion, lamb is the dish that brings people together at our table. You can dine in with us, order online for pickup or delivery, or browse our full menu to see everything we offer alongside our lamb dishes.
