Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
لوبياء بزيت، من فضلك بدون خبز. ممكن قليل من البندورة والبصل، لو سمحت؟ وهل الصلصة بدون سكر مضاف؟
For the Loubieh Bzeit, no bread, please. Can you make it with minimal tomato and onion, if possible? And please confirm no added sugar in the sauce.
Watch out for
Tomatoes and onions, while vegetables, contain natural sugars and starches; in large restaurant portions, these can add up. Some restaurants might add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of tomatoes. Often served with bread.
