At many stalls the grill sits next to a butcher's counter, so customers pick out raw kefta by weight and have it grilled on the spot.

Ground beef or lamb mixed with parsley, cumin, and paprika, grilled flat, and stuffed into fresh bread with harissa and vegetables — a common lunch grabbed on the go.

Why it's made this way: Cooking the meat flat on an open grill lets vendors serve a constant line of customers quickly, similar to how many street-grill dishes worldwide are shaped for speed.
