I love how versatile these meatballs are. I've served them with spaghetti, rice, and even pita bread.

These meatballs were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would drain them on paper towels next time.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but these meatballs were actually really good. The flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

The keftedakia were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture next time.
