Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
السردين المشوي، من فضلكم بلا دقيق أو حشوة. وما بغيتش خبز، روز، أو أي مرافقات غنية بالنشويات.
For the Sardines Grillées, please ensure no breading or stuffing. Omit bread, rice, and any high-carb sides.
Watch out for
None from the sardines or marinade itself, as it's typically very low carb. The only risks are traditional carby side dishes if not clearly specified for omission.
