Keto friendliness
This cuisine offers many adaptable components, but requires careful selection to avoid ubiquitous high-carb staples.
Top ingredients
Grilled meats, fresh salads (cucumber, tomato, herbs), eggs, olives, unsweetened tahini, and cheeses like feta and labneh are excellent keto choices.
Danger zones
Pita bread, falafel, large portions of hummus, rice, couscous, and sugary desserts are ever-present carb traps requiring strict avoidance.
Best for
This cuisine works best for experienced keto dieters comfortable with modifying orders and asserting dietary needs, particularly those who enjoy grilled meats and fresh vegetable salads.
