Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
بروشيت مشكلة من فضلك، بدون تتبيلة سكرية، أرز، خبز، أو بطاطس. هل يمكن استبدالها بسلطة خضراء بسيطة بزيت وخل، أو خضروات مشوية قليلة الكربوهيدرات؟
For the Brochettes, please no sugary marinades, rice, bread, or potato sides. Can I have a simple side salad with oil and vinegar, or plain grilled low-carb vegetables instead?
Watch out for
Sugar in some restaurant marinades. Large quantities of onion/bell pepper on skewers can add carbs. The primary risk is the standard carb-heavy accompaniments.
