Key ingredients

Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
تأكد لي لو سمحت ما في رز بالحشوة. وما في تتبيلة حلوة للحم.
Please confirm there's no rice in the stuffing. And no sugary marinades on the lamb.
Watch out for
Potential hidden sugar in pre-mixed spices or marinades. Excessive portion of nuts could add more carbs, but a typical restaurant serving should be fine.
