It is tasty, but not very special... easy to make though!

4.5 *'s if I could. I had a craving for Lebanese and this was just what I was looking for! I know the author said NOT TO add anything first time around BUT, I could not resist as I felt it needed one more spice. I added a little bit of cilantro and about a 1/2 tsp of Cumin. It added some nice aroma and taste. Quick and easy to make. Make sure you have some Cucumber/Yog sauce and Pita bread.

Followed the directions, but I think there were too many onion and parsley ratio to the ground beef. Instead of BBQing, I will be cooking in oven on 350 for 20-30 mins, turning once. Should still come out great tho, it smells so good in it's raw form already.

It was really good! I gave it 4 stars because it needed a little more spice. I only used 1 lb. of meat because that's what I had, but I still basically doubled the allspice, and I added about 1/2 tsp. ground coriander, another traditional spice used in kafta. Most kafta recipes include coriander--not sure why this one did not.

I accidentaly upped the amount of onion and the meat on sale this week was ground chicken breast and ground beef. Didn't alter anything else in the recipe. It was great!

Yummy! I didn't have the allspice or the fresh parsley, but these were still fantastic. We cooked them as meatballs and they were really yummy!

These taste like a regular burger... they are yummy, don't get me wrong. But they were not spectacular nor did they taste particularly 'ethnic.'

lovely flavour...we used 1/2 lamb and 1/2 beef. we added 1/4 tsp garam masala and 1/4 tsp of ground cumin. didn't bother with the skewers; we made long patties that roll up into a pita better just like our favourite lebanese restaurant. :)

I used 2 lbs of beef, drained the onions after grating them via the food processor, and added garam masala (about 1/2 tsp) and only 1/8 tsp cayenne. Grilled them up in the grill pan on the stove as patties and they came out great.

Love these but after making did make a couple changes, added about 1 t. garam masala and 1/2 t. thai seasoning and cumin. Just our own personal taste. Then we made them a little flatter on the sticks and served them with pitas and humas. YUM!
