How to make it keto
Explicitly request no lavash bread or rice. Ask for extra green salad (Çoban Salata style) or grilled vegetables instead. Confirm no breadcrumbs or flour are used as binders in the meat mix.
Watch out for
Small amounts of finely diced onion in the mix (minimal impact). Potential for sugar in some pre-made spice blends or if tomato paste (often with sugar) is added as a glaze. Crucially, check for breadcrumbs/flour as binders, especially in less authentic establishments.
