A good mezze platter offers a mix of creamy dips with vegetables, salads, pickles, and something with a little heat. At Shawarma Mia, you can add hummus alongside spicy Ezme, fried eggplant, cucumber salad, red cabbage, and pickles.
Pick something creamy, add something fresh for texture, then bring in crunch or spice. Hummus gives you a smooth base, a chopped cucumber salad adds freshness, and pickles, Shifka pepper, or spicy matbucha bring out the flavors.
Add a few dishes to shawarma bowls, order them with wraps for the table, or build a larger spread when you’re feeding a group.
For takeout, sides also make it easier to turn a few mains into a family-style order.
Our house-made hummus is creamy, easy to share, and works with almost everything else on the table.
Made around chickpeas and tahini, hummus brings a rich, smooth texture that balances sharper or spicier sides. It can lead the meal with warm pita or sit alongside shawarma, kebabs, or falafel.
For the best hummus in Brooklyn, look no further than Shawarma Mia.
Pair hummus with pita for dipping, or add it beside chicken shawarma, lamb and beef shawarma, or handmade falafel.
Fresh sides such as cucumber salad, chopped salad, taboleh, or sumac onion keep the plate fresh and light.
Babaganoush brings eggplant into the mezze spread with a deeper, smokier character than hummus.
Eggplant’s rich texture makes Babaganoush feel substantial without turning it into a main course. It contrasts well with brighter salads, tart pickles, or spicy tomato-based sides.
Pair Babaganoush with pita, shawarma, or grilled kebabs, then add something sharp, like pickles, sumac onion, or Shifka pepper.
Babaganoush is great for sharing, and its flavor pairs well with other options to keep the meal varied.
Choose these sides for a brighter, spicier profile that cuts through richer meats and sauces.
A spoonful of these ingredients beside hummus or eggplant gives the plate a completely different direction. They also pair well with cool cucumber salad or cabbage.
Add it to a chicken shawarma bowl, spoon it into a wrap, or keep it on the side so everyone controls their own heat level.
Shawarma Mia’s house sauces, including tahini, harissa, garlic toum, amba, tzatziki, and House Hot Sauce, add even more flavor.
Sweet eggplant and fried eggplant give you two more ways to bring that vegetable into the meal, while beet salad adds an earthy, naturally sweeter note.
They work particularly well when the rest of the order leans heavily toward grilled meat or shawarma.
Fresh coleslaw, red cabbage, and cucumber salad bring crunch and freshness to the table. Add them to heavier dishes or use them to add texture to a pita or wrap.
For sharper flavors, mix in pickles, sumac onion, Shifka pepper, or chopped salad. Shawarma Mia’s mezze menu also includes spicy carrot, taboleh, cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, and other fresh sides so that you can build a varied spread.
The easiest way to build a mezze platter is to choose different textures rather than ordering by quantity alone.
Start with one dip such as hummus or Babaganoush, then add a fresh salad and one stronger side such as spicy Ezme, fried eggplant, or pickles.
Add pita and a shawarma or falafel for something more substantial.
For a group, spread the choices out. Order a couple of dips, two or three vegetable sides, something spicy, pita, and a mix of shawarma or falafel.
That gives everyone enough variety without each person needing a completely separate meal.
For larger gatherings, think family-style. Hummus, Babaganoush, taboleh, spicy Ezme, salads, and pickled vegetables pair well with shawarma, kebabs, falafel, rice, and pita so guests can build their own plates.

You don’t have to order mezze as a separate course. Many of the same flavors pair well with Shawarma Mia’s bowls and sandwiches.
Hummus or Babaganoush adds richness alongside chicken, lamb, and beef shawarma, kebabs, or falafel. A little tahini or garlic toum can take the same bowl in another direction.
Pair grilled or roasted mains with cool salads, creamy dips, something pickled, and one spicy option, then let everyone assemble their own.
