Crucially, request no rice, bulgur, or bread. Ask for extra grilled vegetables (peppers, tomatoes, onions) and a generous portion of çoban salata (shepherd's salad). Confirm that the lamb marinade contains no added sugars or starches.
Watch out for
Marinades may contain hidden sugars or starches. Grilled tomatoes and onions contribute natural sugars and carbohydrates. Standard high-carb sides (rice, bulgur, bread) are typically served and must be explicitly avoided.
