What it is
A combination of juicy ground lamb/beef kebabs (Lülə) and tender chunks of lamb or beef (Tikə) marinated and grilled to perfection. Served traditionally with raw onion, sumac, and fresh herbs.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb/beef, lamb/beef chunks, onion, salt, pepper, sumac, lamb fat (for lula), olive oil/sunflower oil for grilling.
Optional tweaks
Request no lavash (bread) and no rice as sides. Avoid any sugary sauces (e.g., narsharab) if offered. Ensure only raw onions, not caramelized or cooked with sugar.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Lavash və düyü istəmirəm. Zəhmət olmasa, narşarab kimi şirin souslar olmasın. Yalnız çiy soğan olsun, bişmiş yox.
No lavash or rice. Please, no sugary sauces like narsharab. I'd like raw onions only, not cooked or caramelized.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades (rare for traditional kebabs but possible), caramelized onions (if served this way), high-carb sides like lavash/rice.
