What it is
A hearty and comforting Syrian dish featuring tender chunks of slow-cooked lamb, bathed in a rich and tangy warm yogurt sauce. The sauce is traditionally seasoned with generous garlic and fresh mint, served as a substantial main course without the usual accompaniment of rice.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/shank, full-fat plain yogurt, garlic, egg (for sauce stabilization), fresh mint, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ensure no rice is served. Confirm very minimal or no cornstarch is used to thicken the yogurt sauce; an egg is typically used for stabilization. Request unsweetened, full-fat yogurt.

من فضلك، بدون أرز تماماً. وتأكدوا من استخدام كمية قليلة جداً من النشا أو عدم استخدامه في الصلصة. أريد زبادي كامل الدسم وغير محلى.
Crucially, no rice, please. Confirm very minimal or no cornstarch in the sauce. Please use unsweetened, full-fat yogurt.
Watch out for
