Lamb biryani at Cafe Bombay

If Chinese fried rice and Indian lamb curry hooked up, the lamb biryani at Cafe Bombay in North Druid Hills would be their love child. Saffron tints the shimmering yellow rice, while the tender, cilantro-flecked lamb hums with cinnamon and cardamom. Drizzle some of Bombay’s thin raita (yogurt) over the meat and rice to temper all those warm spices. The cool tang lightens the dish, making each bite sing a little softer. $13.
