about us
The Shawarma Mia Story
At Shawarma Mia, we keep things simple: fresh ingredients, full flavor, and a menu built on Turkish and Mediterranean roots. We prep daily, marinate in-house, and serve dishes that
have fed generations — from shawarma carved to order to falafel that’s healthy, fresh and fast.
Who’s in the Kitchen
Co-founded in 2022 and directed by father and son John and Shawn Isikli, the local kitchen is backed by over 40 years of hospitality experience. John previously ran one of the largest Mediterranean restaurants in the country. Shawn, born and raised in Brooklyn, leads operations and digital.
Together, they use traditional cooking methods, bringing timeless flavors to a fast-paced neighborhood. The result? Food that reflects where we come from and where we are: a kitchen with heritage, built for the rhythm of Brooklyn, NYC.
