These keftedakia were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my keftedakia turned out really tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

The keftedakia were a bit dry. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe some chopped vegetables or feta cheese.

These keftedakia were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These keftedakia were easy to make and turned out great! I served them with tzatziki sauce and pita bread, and they were a big hit.

I was a bit skeptical about making these keftedakia because I'm not a big fan of lamb. But I was pleasantly surprised! The lamb flavor was very mild, and the meatballs were so tender and flavorful.
