Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
بروشات اللحم من فضلك بدون تتبيلة سكرية. بدون أرز أو خبز أو بطاطا مقلية. هل يمكن خضار مشوية (كوسا، فلفل) أو سلطة خضراء؟
For the Brochettes de Viande, no sugary marinade, please. No rice, bread, or fries. Can I have grilled zucchini/bell peppers or a simple green salad instead?
