Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
الميركاز المشوي، من فضلك بدون خبز، بطاطس مقلية أو نشويات. أريد سلطة خضراء بزيت وخل. هل السجق خالٍ من الحشوات عالية الكربوهيدرات؟
For the Merguez, no bread, fries, or starchy sides. A simple green salad with oil and vinegar, please. Is the sausage free of fillers/high-carb ingredients?
Watch out for
