I absolutely loved this dish - and I rarely order lamb because generally, I'm not that fond of it. Thanks to silentmeow's review, I tried it for dinner (Whip In is finally open for dinner from Wed. - Sunday, 5- 11 pm). The meatballs were minty, tender, lean, and beautifully seasoned.
A further bonus: I loved discovering that Whip In uses Loncito's lamb - a local purveyor who's lamb is all grass fed. From a quick perusal of the store, it looks as though Whip In supports a large number of independent, local Austin purveyors - Nada Moo Ice Cream, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Grandmother's Hummus, etc.
Yet another reason to whip in to Whip In. :)
This translates to Herbed Lamb Meatballs in Red Sauce. And it's a very good dish. If you love Indian spices you'll love this dish. If you're afraid of lamb, don't be. This is a great dish to convert lamb haters into lamb lovers. The meatballs are nice and moist and easy to mange (they're smaller instead of Texas-sized). The sauce has a little kick to it, but nothing we Texans can't handle. So far I've only had this as take-out to microwave at home. Once Whip In opens their dining area I imagine this might taste even better. All of their dishes are served with basmati rice. I can't wait until they start serving their homemade tandoori naan!
