A Shami Kebab is a small patty of minced beef or chicken and ground chickpeas and spices. Shami kebabs are an extremely popular snack in India and Pakistan.

Shami kebabs were immortalized in Grant Naylor's science fiction series Red Dwarf, where character David Lister was nearly killed by an alien masquerading as his favorite supper.

Sham refers to Syria and these kebabs literally means Syrian kebabs in Urdu.
