This is a fantastic, flavorful recipe that my family and friends love. Couple of suggestions for preparation And serving; We use lean beef instead of lamb just because it's more economical. It's difficult to form the meat around skewers, so form them first and then just insert the skewers. This pairs well on Greek pita bread with humus, cucumbers, lettuce and tomato's.

Love this recipe and really folks, you can't substiture lamb for anything else. It may taste ok but it won't be Sheekh Kabab. I'm a big lamb fan and so is my family.

What a fantastic recipe! It tastes very authentic and it is so easy to make.

Great! Tastes like the ones in the resturaunts. Everyone loved it. Tastes better if you fry or grill them extra crisp and drizzle with lime juice. I found the spices too strong so I reduced them by half. For a healthier alternatve, try mixing chicken and lamb

Excellent recipe that also works well with a ground beef and sausage mixture. Try using flat skewers (if you can find them) and the meat will not spin when you try to turn it on the grill. And as someone else mentioned...chop ingredients very fine.

Awsome, awsome awsome. We made these for a dinner party and they were a huge sucess. We added bread crumbs as well and I can see why it helped. Served with a yogurt sauce this is our new favorite!!

My kids loved this as did I! I did make a few changes....I used a mixture of lamb and beef and omitted the cilantro for parsley (as one of my kids hates cilantro). Deelish!!

I always have ground lamb in my freezer for this dish -it's so cheap. I don't make it too hot and usually use what I have in the cupboards (cumin and coriander are a must). I serve this with an amazing greek yoghurt and salad or rice.

3/5/06 This is a great recipe - I LOVE the combination of mint and cilantro! Also, when I make kebabs (Indian or Greek) I often use half ground lamb, half ground beef - the flavor is really excellent, and the meat stays a little more moist than if using just lamb. I serve these on warm split naan breads or paratha with a drizzle of cucumber raita. With a leafy salad, some onion chutney, and a couple of pappadums, this makes an awesome meal. 8/9/07 Made these again for lunch today. Absolutely outstanding. I'd forgotten how much I love them! Thanks so much, Yakuta!

Great recipe. I left out the mint because my husband hates it. I did make a sauce with yogurt, garlic, chopped onions and chopped cilantro that really added to the dish, I thought. Love the flavours. Did some grilled eggplant and basmati rice and pitas on the side. Great dinner. A little different from the usual! I'd definitely make it again.

This was pretty good, but not quite the flavor I was looking for. This one has a very "bright" flavor, with the mint and the cilantro etc. I froze the leftovers, and I do plan on eating them sometime. It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that I was looking for a "darker" flavor... if that makes sense.

Great flavours, and very easy to do. My kids made these for their Papa!!

I made with 2 separate batches, one with beef and other with chicken. Chicken was way too wet and did not hold together on the skewer. Used about a cup of breadcrumbs, which did not help either. Beef kebabs turned out well, but still required about 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs for it to hold together. I noticed someone using flour to hold together falafels, may use that next time. Will make again but cut down the amount of mint and increase coriander.

This was an excellent recipe, although I made it with yellow curry paste. I recommend eating it with the cucumber raita recipe from here..and pita bread..an Indian soulvaki.

When I hear someone say that they don't like lamb, I know that haven't had lamb cooked right. This is lamb cooked right. The combination of herbs and spices blend together to mask any "gamey" flavors. It is also the first time I know of where I had lamb, liked it and it didn't have any garlic in it.

Excellent! MashaAllah!
