Meh. The glaze was too sweet for my taste.

This was my first time cooking lamb, and it was a success! The skewers were juicy and tender.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the glaze didn't thicken. Not sure what went wrong.

Easy to make and very flavorful. I used chicken instead of lamb, and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but this dish was surprisingly good. The glaze really made the difference.

The lamb was a bit tough, but the glaze was amazing. I'll try it again with a different cut of meat.

My family gave two thumbs up! Even my picky eater son finished his whole plate. I'll definitely be making this again.
