    Can I use lettuce instead of pita? I heard that’s healthier! Just a thought.

    Too spicy for my liking. Can’t even taste the beef under all those spices. 😩

      Spicy? I think it adds flavor! You might just need to get used to it, lol!

      I totally get it! The spices can really overpower the dish sometimes. Maybe try less next time?

    Spice mix didn’t work out for me. I put too much cinnamon I think? I totally messed it up.

    So much beef! I was expecting more veggies. Should’ve used more pickles instead.

    I misread the ingredients, used chicken instead of beef. Still turned out great!

      Really? Chicken? Not sure if that would work but if you liked it, that’s what matters! 👀

      That’s awesome! Glad it turned out well even with the switch! Chicken can be super tasty too. 😊

    This is authentic Middle Eastern food! I felt like I was back in my grandma’s kitchen.

    Honestly, it just tasted like regular beef. Not sure what the fuss is about with the spices.

    Seemed too complicated for me. Can I just use ground beef? I don’t really get why it needs to be sliced.

  12. 3 stars
    It was okay but I feel like it needed something. Maybe some hot sauce?

  13. 3 stars
    I don’t know, something about it was off. My husband ate it all though. 🤷‍♀️
