Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the sauce (sour cream itself will thicken); served with a generous portion of low-carb vegetables (e.g., broccoli… About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Estonian food, so watch the portion.

Say this to the waiter (Estonian)
Palun kinnitage, et kastmes pole jahu ega tärklist. Soovin kartuli või riisi asemel suurt portsu madala süsivesikusisaldusega köögivilju, nt brokolit või spinatit.
Please confirm no flour or starch in the sauce. I'd like a generous portion of low-carb vegetables like broccoli or spinach, instead of potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Sour cream sauces can sometimes use flour as a thickener. Onions add carbs. Traditionally served with potatoes or buckwheat.
