How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Hebrew)
בבקשה לבנה רגילה, לא מתוקה. בלי פיתה, אבל אפשר לקבל פרוסות מלפפון או פלפל אדום לטבילה?
Please serve plain, unsweetened לבנה. No pita, but can I get cucumber or bell pepper slices for dipping?
Watch out for
Labaneh contains residual lactose (milk sugar), contributing to total carbs. Some restaurants might sweeten labaneh slightly. Za'atar is usually fine, but confirm no added sugar in the blend.
