What it is
Skewers of grilled minced lamb or beef (Lula kebab) or marinated chunks of lamb or beef (Tika kebab), seasoned with traditional spices like sumac, salt, and pepper. Served without any bread, rice, or potato sides, focusing on the succulent meat with a simple fresh salad.

How to make it keto
Explicitly request no lavash/bread, no rice, and no potato fries. Ask for a side of plain salad (cucumber, tomato, onion) dressed with olive oil and lemon, or grilled non-starchy vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, eggplant, zucchini).
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades (rare for traditional kebabs but possible), high-carb side dishes like fries, rice, or bread if not explicitly refused.
