How to make it keto
Ensure no pita bread is served. Confirm the absence of any breadcrumbs or flour in the meat mixture (less common in traditional Greek kebab than other regional variations, but worth checking).
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Χωρίς πίτα, σας παρακαλώ. Μπορείτε να επιβεβαιώσετε ότι δεν έχει φρυγανιά ή αλεύρι στο μείγμα του κρέατος;
No pita, please. Can you confirm there are no breadcrumbs or flour in the meat mixture?
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs or flour as binder in some recipes, hidden sugars in spice mixes, served with high-carb sides (ensure only keto sides or none).
