Grill, Kofta and Shish Tawook Seasonings for Restaurants
Levantine and Egyptian grill houses depend on a precise marinade, kofta that holds together and juicy chicken. Al Laith supplies the full range: regular and smoked kofta seasoning, shish tawook in three flavours, charcoal and rotisserie chicken seasonings, kofta binder, and a meat tenderizer that makes cheaper cuts tender.
If your kitchen has no charcoal, smoke extract and smoked kofta seasoning bring the grilled taste to a gas grill, and buttered rice mix completes the plate.
