Shashlyk is a popular dish made from chunks of marinated meat (commonly pork, lamb, or beef) skewered and grilled over open charcoal flames. The marinade typically includes vinegar or lemon juice, onions, garlic, and spices, resulting in tender, smoky, and flavorful kebabs.

Often enjoyed during outdoor gatherings, picnics, or family celebrations, shashlyk is served with flatbread, grilled vegetables, fresh herbs, and sometimes ajika or sour plum sauce. Though widespread across the former Soviet Union, it's especially popular in Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
