In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb with the grated onion, parsley, mint, garlic, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.

Cover the mixture and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

While the grill is heating, shape the meat mixture into elongated patties around the skewers, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.

Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on it and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the kafta is browned and cooked through.

Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve the kafta hot with pita bread, tahini sauce, and a fresh salad.
