Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the dish's tasty spices, though some found the garlic overpowering; consider adjusting garlic to taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare for most, but some found rolling the koftas challenging.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding pomegranate seeds or hummus for extra flavor; cook garlic and onions before adding to reduce spiciness.
  • Portions: Several noted the spinach portion was too small; consider increasing the amount of greens.
  • Texture: For juicier koftas, try not overcooking the turkey mixture.
