The one meal that jumps out is the Lamb Kabob, served with a delectable choice of sides, including rice pilaf or greek salad. This dish is cooked on a metal skewer very carefully to bring out the most excellent flavor of the lamb. After it is finished cooking, it is slid onto a plate. When the server brings it to the table, it gives off a delicious aroma.

The Lamb Kabob is perfectly cooked to the desired temperature and placed before a watering mouth. Only when a bite is taken will the taste sensation in your mouth occur.

Other favorites at the Mount Auburn Grill are homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, Italian dinners, and great burgers. But when the craving for a delicious taste sensation strikes, look no further than the Lamb Kebob at the Mount Auburn Grill, a hidden gem in the Watertown area.
