A shawarma bowl gives you more room to build out the meal, while a wrap, pita or baguette keeps things easier to eat on the go. At Shawarma Mia, 67 Sixth Avenue in Brooklyn, bowls come with 7 sides and 1 sauce. Sandwiches come with 5 sides and 1 sauce, so the choice really comes down to how you want to eat.
There isn’t a better format across the board. A bowl gives you more sides and space to mix things together. A wrap puts the focus on shawarma, toppings and sauce in one handheld order.
Go for a shawarma bowl if the sides are half the reason you’re ordering.
Shawarma Mia’s build your own bowl comes with 7 sides and 1 sauce. That leaves plenty of room for things like hummus, chopped salad, red cabbage, sumac onion, fried eggplant or pickles alongside your protein.
You can also add rice or another side separately if you want to make the meal bigger.
A wrap makes more sense when you want your shawarma packed together and easy to take with you.
Shawarma Mia’s sandwiches come with 5 sides and 1 sauce, so you’re still choosing what goes inside rather than getting a stripped-back meat-and-bread order.
For a quick lunch or takeout, that compact format has an obvious advantage: fork not required.
The same shawarma fillings are also available in pita and baguette.
Pita gives you the familiar pocket-style shawarma format. The baguette is the bigger bread option, with more structure and plenty of room for the filling.
If you’re torn between them, choose based on the bread you actually feel like eating. There’s no need to turn lunch into a personality test.
The menu doesn’t stop at chicken. Shawarma Mia has three core shawarma choices available as bowls.
The chicken shawarma bowl is made with chicken that’s marinated in-house, slow-roasted and carved fresh to order.
Pair it with your choice of 7 sides and one of the house sauces. Garlic sauce, tahini or harissa all take the bowl in a slightly different direction.
The lamb and beef shawarma bowl gives you the richer shawarma option on the menu.
It works particularly well if you’re loading the bowl with sharper or fresher sides such as pickles, cucumber salad, sumac onion or cabbage.
Can’t choose between them? The mix shawarma bowl combines the shawarma options in one order.
It’s also a straightforward first order if you want to try more than one meat without buying two separate meals.
Chicken, mixed shawarma and lamb & beef shawarma can each be ordered in pita, baguette or wrap form.
Chicken works across all three. Pick pita for the more traditional pocket format, a wrap when portability matters, or baguette when you want more bread around the filling.
Mixed shawarma gives you more variation in the filling, so it’s a good choice if you’re trying Shawarma Mia for the first time and don’t want to commit to one protein.
Again, the bread decision is mostly about appetite and how you want to eat it.
The richer lamb and beef shawarma can also go into any of the three sandwich formats. Add 5 sides and choose a sauce to finish it.

The easiest way to build a bowl is to start with the shawarma, then use the sides and sauce to take it where you want.
Choose chicken shawarma if you want the classic Shawarma Mia order, lamb & beef for something richer, or mixed shawarma when you’d rather have both.
There are also non-shawarma bowls on the menu, including falafel, kebab and salad bowl options.
You’ve got 7 side choices in a bowl, so don’t make them all do the same job.
The current menu includes hummus, baba ghanoush, chopped salad, tabbouleh, pickles, fried eggplant, spicy carrot, red cabbage and several other mezze-style options.
That gives you a lot more control over the final bowl than simply choosing meat and rice.
Shawarma Mia’s current shawarma sauce choices are Garlic Toum, Tahini, Tzatziki, Harissa, Amba and House Hot Sauce.
Garlic Toum is whipped and garlicky. Tahini brings the sesame flavor, while Harissa gives the bowl a smoky chili kick. If you want something cooler, Tzatziki combines yogurt and cucumber.
If you’re deciding between the two, think less about which one is “best” and more about how much variety you want in the bowl.
A chicken shawarma bowl keeps the protein simple, which leaves the sides and sauce to do more of the changing from bite to bite.
The mix shawarma bowl is the easy answer when both shawarma options sound good. You get more variation without changing the rest of the bowl.
If you already know you prefer the deeper flavor of lamb and beef, skip the compromise and order that instead.
Simple decision. Better lunch.
Different formats make sense at different times.
A shawarma wrap Brooklyn lunch is hard to overcomplicate. Choose the protein, add your sides and sauce, and you’ve got a handheld meal ready to go.
Both formats are available for takeout, pickup and delivery. A wrap is easier to eat without much setup. A bowl makes more sense when you want the full spread of sides.
If it’s your first visit, either a chicken bowl or mixed shawarma is a good place to start because both put the actual shawarma front and center.

A Shawarma Mia chicken shawarma bowl starts with its in-house marinated, slow-roasted chicken shawarma and comes with your choice of 7 sides and 1 sauce.
That depends on how you build it and what “healthy” means for your diet. Shawarma Mia lets you choose from vegetables, salads, hummus and other sides, along with your sauce. The restaurant doesn’t publish full nutritional information for each custom bowl, so exact calories or macros will depend on your selections and portion sizes.
Not necessarily. Choose a shawarma bowl when you want more sides and a fork-and-bowl meal. A wrap is the simpler choice when you want something handheld.
They’re three different bread formats for the same sandwich proteins. Pita gives you a pocket-style sandwich, a wrap keeps everything rolled together, and the baguette gives you the largest bread format of the three.
Yes. Shawarma Mia offers online ordering for pickup and delivery from its Brooklyn restaurant at 67 Sixth Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217.
