What it is

Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/neck, onion, vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, black pepper, bay leaf, cooking oil (for grilling).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Request plain grilled meat with no added sauces or a simple oil/vinegar-based dressing. Confirm no bread, rice, or potato sides.
Watch out for
Restaurant marinades can sometimes contain sugar or other sweetening agents. Shashlyk is almost always served with high-carb sides like potato salad, rice, or bread; ensure these are omitted.
