Yuvarlakia, or giouvarlakia (Greek: γιουβαρλάκια, from Turkish: yuvarlak, 'round'[1]), is a Greek dish consisting of balls of ground meat, rice, and seasonings, cooked in a pot,[2] in water or meat broth.[3] The mixture is similar to that used for making sarma.[4][5] They may be served in tomato or avgolemono sauce.[1] Depending on the thickness of the sauce, it may be considered a soup or a stew.[6]

A similar dish in Turkish cuisine is terbiyeli köfte.
