How to make it keto
Request no bread and no fries (bez pomfrita). Ask for fresh cabbage salad (kupus salata), grilled bell peppers, or other keto-friendly steamed/grilled vegetables. Confirm marinades are sugar-free.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Ražnjiće bih bez pomfrita, riže ili hleba. Molim zelenu salatu sa uljem/sirćetom, ili grilovano povrće (tikvice, paprike).
For Ražnjići, no fries, rice, or bread, please. I'd like a green salad with oil/vinegar, or grilled vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
