I love that these keftedakia can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then reheat them during the week for a quick and easy meal.

I found that the meatballs were a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg to the mixture next time.

These keftedakia were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use half the amount of chili powder.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these keftedakia with ground tempeh instead of lamb. They were still delicious! I served them with a side of tzatziki sauce, and they were a hit.

I made these keftedakia in my air fryer, and they turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I highly recommend this cooking method.

These keftedakia are a great way to use up leftover ground lamb. I also added some chopped spinach to the mixture, which gave them a nice pop of color and flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of meatballs, but these keftedakia were amazing! The combination of spices and herbs was perfect, and the meatballs were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making these again.
