Smoked meat mecca
Owner Adam Mahdi got inspiration for his own smokehouse during trips to the USA. Swedish beef and lamb is smoked and cooked for up to 16 hours at the Sankt Eriksgatan restaurant, and then served with classic sides à la the southern states such as fried potato wedges and sauces. Even the interior has an American theme, with large cartoon pictures of celebrities – designed by Adam himself.
