Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This tasted just like falafel. I used ground turkey and substituted parsley for the cilantro. The patties were so moist and... juicy. The chutney was delicious. Read more

Great way to spice up chicken!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used ground chicken for this recipe and it was fantastic. I didn't try the mango chutney - had planned on using hummus but... it was so juicy I didnt even use that. Also, was so happy when I found greek yogurt in my local grocery store (in the past I've had a hard time finding). Will definitely make again.Read more

A new family fave!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even my 5 year old daughter loved this. She ate 3/4 of a full sized one!! Go for the mango chutney if you can find it. It's a... tangy sweet foil for the earthy herbs and spices. I found chutney in the condiment section(on the top shelf) and also in an end-cap section of foods by The Silver Palate. Great flavor! I used ground Turkey breast and added a clove of garlic 'cuz we love garlic. Super quick and easy. I will make these again. Make the big size like Rachel to fill a whole full size pita or smaller ones for the mini pitas for a party. Try a leftover patty on a salad with vinaigrette!Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I skipped the chutney part and made a Taziki sauce instead (Alton Brown Receipe) and then broke up the patties after they... were cooked into smaller pieces and then served them in a wrap with the sauce,feta cheese,lettuce, & tomatoes. It was awesome, just like a Schawarma that we get at the Greek restaurants. Thanks Rachel, another amazingly simple yet wonderful dish.Read more

Did not work for my family
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought that the mango chutney was not the best choice. Flavors just did not blend together very well.

Easy, Scrumptious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loved this! I used one pound of ground lamb and 1/2 pound ground beef. I was perplexed by the instructions to... make 4 patties, I made 8 (leftovers are fantastic). Thank you Rachel for another great recipe!Read more
