Spiced minced lamb skewers grilled to juicy perfection—smoky, herby, and incredible with flatbread and tzatziki.
Lamb kofta is a classic street food found across the Middle East and Mediterranean. The secret is in the spice blend — cumin, coriander, and cinnamon give these skewers their signature warmth. Serve with warm flatbread, fresh salad, and a generous dollop of tzatziki for a meal that feels like a feast.
