Shawarma Mia in Brooklyn might literally be my favorite spot in New York City. I used to live in Dubai, and I've traveled to Turkey, so I know good shawarma, and this was so fresh and flavorful. You can taste all the seasonings, and you can tell the meat and ingredients are fresh. I got the chicken bowl with yellow rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, beets, and cabbage. It was easily one of the best bowls I've had in New York City and definitely competes with the food I used to eat while living in Dubai. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Shawarma Mia - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food: The food is excellent here! I tried the beef and lamb shawarma in a pita, and it was delicious. The pita is also one of the best I've ever had. The quality of all of their ingredients is very good. You have the choice of making a salad, platter (rice based), pita, or wrap with your choice of protein. All toppings and sauces are displayed, and you can customize your entree with 4 toppings and sauces. Entrees average about $16 each so it's a bit pricey, but the quality is there! They also have soups, fries, and desserts. Service: Staff were friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: The place is very small with 3 small tables inside and a bunch of outdoor seating. Space is tight so it's not ideal for large groups. The tables inside can seat 2-3 at most. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! read more

The food was great well seasoned and very filling. The add ons were great as well. Peppers, onions and other herbs made the sandwich immaculate. The service is pretty straightforward, the do a chain link like subway. Thé people there were nice. They also have outside seating, so bring a party if you'd like. read more

Usually I'm a huge fan of Shwarma Mia, last time I got it a few months ago it was mid. This time it was straight disappointing. I ordered a bowl for the first time, the cabbage had a weird flavor and I wasn't a fan of the spicy carrots. The pickles had a waxy texture. The chummus that I usually love so much tasted different and not nearly as good as past times. The first few bites were good but once my deep hunger waned I was left with a lackluster plate. Photo of leftovers. I am leaving dissatisfied. Service was great as always read more

Absolutely fantastic. I haven't had a shawarma spot this legit and this good in a long time. Food was very fresh and flavorful. The chicken shawarma laffa I got was packed with meat. Their falafel is made fresh to order, so it's not sitting out and stale like most places. We got to chat with the owner for a bit and he's a really nice guy, been in the business for a while. He even gave us complementary baklava. I'm not the biggest fan of baklava, but this one was really good. Solid choice for a fast casual meal near Barclays. read more

Shawarma Mia - Chicken bowl - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The other night after I left my gym, I wanted something healthy and saw this restaurant a few blocks away. I ordered a lamb and beef shawarma and it was amazing! I came back tonight and got a baby chicken kebab bowl, and added various kinds of tomatoes and cucumbers, and taziki sauce. Again, amazing! I also tried their baklava, which was wonderful! This is my new Mediterranean restaurant! read more

Excellent option close to Barclays and most major subway lines. If you're looking for a good fast casual option with a Turkish twist highly recommend this spot. They have some limited tables outside and the indoors is meant for more of a grab and go. The star of the show here is all the delicious protein and how large of a bowl/wrap you can get we all made the mistake of order ordering one item each when we should've shared. This can easily be stretched across two meals and there a variety of protein options to fit any diet that you might have. Easily one of the top spots in the area if you're looking for something that can be quick or a more hearty option. read more

We got the beef & lamb bowl and wrap. Decent, filling, nothing to write home about. Portions are decent, so don't be afraid to ask to pile on. This place is tiny and doesn't have a bathroom. Only three tiny high top tables for two. Very cold, as the two entry doors are always swinging open, as a ton of customers is usually going in and out. read more

I'm in heaven this place is life changing. Workers are so nice and the food is absurdly good. I couldn't choose so I got the mixed shawarma bowl and my goodness it's fire read more

Not very good. Tzatziki is watery and has no flavor. Makes all the difference. Overall flavorless.

Shawarma and bowl are amazing! The flavors were bursting, and the portions were super generous. I had a great Iftar and would definitely come back. The quality ingredients are top notch. read more

Message to the owner/management: This is delicious food. However, in June 2026, the larger portion was smaller than the small portion of Jan 2026. Please be aware that this will cause customers to leave. It's possible that one of the workers quietly scooped some onto a secret plate behind the counter after displaying a fuller sandwich behind the glass. Please look into this. You offer quality food and would I'd feel bad if the restaurant goes downhill because of these issues. read more

This is a Chipotle style shawerma place. I loved it! It was quite crowded on a Thursday evening at 7pm... so it took a while to order. There were 3 guys behind the counter and one was only working on online orders. You order the meat, the wrapper/ base, the toppings, and the sauces. The portions are large, which accounts for the price. I ordered the beef and lamb shawema on flat bread. The meat is good, dare I say better than most gyros in fast food places. The bread portion was thin pita. They have about 10 topping options, a variety of salads mostly, all that i tried were good. The hot sauce is not spicy at all, but still tasty, the tahini was too watered down. The fries tasted like the oil was old... Definitely a place to go to for a yummy bite. read more

It works! I was in the area. Needed something hot and fresh. Popped in here and decided on a bowl.I ordered chicken lamb beef gyro over cous cous. And you can add as many fresh topping as you like. That bowl made 2 meals for me. Its priced decently considering the location. When in the area again I'll be sure to drop in. The staff was friendly. They have a small indoor and outdoor area to eat. read more

Nneeeewwwww favorite in the area! A Turkish spot that I didn't know existed until I decided to try a new place for lunch and opened my Yelp. I love Turkish food so I had high expectations for this place. My expectations were met. Granted, I received this food through delivery. Regardless, it hit the spot!!!! Everything was seasoned so well and the proportions were tailored to my liking. Right amount of chicken, rice, and toppings to evenly spread out my bites (if you know what I mean). I got the chicken shawarma bowl... the chicken is so tender, soft, and juicy. For me, I love how there is more meat than rice in the bowls. I really love how generous they are with the toppings. The baba ghanoush is the right texture, it's smoky, it's tasty, it's addicting. I love their pickles! They are crispy and tangy. And they give so much of it too. The spicy carrots and cabbage are also spot on. Honestly, the serving is so big that I'm able to save half of it for later. I've only gone into the place once and it is small (definitely just a takeout spot) and still very new inside with 2-3 spots to sit at for dining in. I absolutely love this place and talk it up to whoever asks me where to eat in Prospect Heights for a quick lunch. This is my "will always order it if I'm having a bad day which is every day" spot! :) read more

Shawarma Mia - My Chicken Shawarma Bowl that was delivered to my job! - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

While near Barclays Center, my wife and I decided to try some shawarma, and I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem. From the moment we walked in, John, the owner, greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. My wife went with the lamb and beef shawarma wrap paired with baba ghanoush and hummus, while I chose a hearty bowl packed with veal, white rice, lettuce, olives, pickles, cucumbers, carrots, eggplant matbucha, Turkish peppers, tomatoes, and a kick of red harissa hot sauce. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! Initially, my wife thought she could only manage half of her wrap, but by the time we finished eating, she had polished off the entire thing--a true testament to how incredible the food was. Compliments to the chef! As we enjoyed our meal, I had a wonderful conversation with John about his heritage, which added a personal and memorable touch to the experience. Before leaving, we ordered some chicken wings to go. I shared them with my daughter later, and she couldn't get enough of them--she kept asking for more! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, but since it was a cold day, we chose to sit inside. The cozy interior had just three tables , which gave the space some charming, intimate vibes. This spot is undoubtedly a hidden gem, and we'll definitely be back again soon! read more

Wonderful! Fast service with plenty of choices. All the options are listed on the menu for different toppings you can add, but they happily explain each to you and warn about spicy items so you can easily customize your meal without needing to do a ton of research, guessing, or pointing vaguely and asking. Some mains (including the adana kebab I had) take a few extra minutes to heat up, but they'll warn you about this while you're ordering. Amazing service that makes it easy to order something delicious compared to other build-your-own restaurants like it. The food itself was delicious and reminded me somewhat of Zooba though with a different and less prominent set of spices (not in a bad way at all). I also tried the yogurt drink (ayran) though I didn't love it -- perhaps because I'm used to sweeter yogurt drinks and this one tasted more like natural yogurt -- perhaps you prefer this. Overall I had a great meal here and would be happy to try out even more of the menu in the future. read more

Shawarma Mia - Adana Kebab Pita - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered delivery and it took 2 hours to arrive. The information on their delivery tracking website was incorrect and I was unable to contact the store and the driver. The portions are solid and the food is fresh (in person). Go in person, don't order delivery read more

Normally, I wouldn't want to reveal how wonderful this place is to anyone else but on our third day ordering the chicken Shawarma bowls I think I have to leave a review. Definitely one of the best babaghanoush's I've had, the pita is soft and fluffy, the chicken is delicious flavorful and plenty full. They fill up your bowl easily enough for two meals. Truly love this place, tastes like you aren't in Brooklyn! Service is great- I do think they need to fix the sauce delivery app. I have tried several times to order from the preferred app, but I am never able to check out. Also, so you know on DoorDash you are not able to add items from different categories without emptying your basket so it's basically impossible to order from there also. read more

Ordered delivery from here, food was packaged nicely. I thought the chicken shawarma bowl was tasty-- chicken itself was nothing noteworthy but the combination of all the toppings was delicious and filling. I also got an order of falafel, but prob wouldn't get again, since I found them a bit bland. The side pita was really fluffy and soft though. read more

. Lots of variety to choose from to add to your order. My beef wrap had a generous amount of beef. It was delicious.. The service was quick. The workers were friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back. read more

The food is so good here, they seriously need more of these locations everywhere. This new concept is a Meditteranean/Turkish style grill, where you build your own bowl, pick your base, add-ins, toppings, sauces etc. They have shawarma, shish kebabs, etc. The staff was very helpful and caring when creating my order. For my first time, I went with what's familiar and tried a variety of the meats. Affordability for their portion sizes are a plus. I got the Shawarma Mixed Grill with beef, lamb and chicken with toppings & sauces of choice. The indoor tables are small, fits about 3 2-tops comfortably. The outdoor sidewalk seating area is a little more spacious with a larger bench table but still not great for groups that wants to sit all together. The parking in the area is awful, there's a police station right across the street and a very busy Flatbush Avenue, so best to park a few blocks away and just walk over. Double parking just to run inside would not be a good option, I learned the harder way. read more

I really want to like this place. I just give up though. It seems like every time I order from here, something is messed up. The last order I placed was on Sunday, and a few minutes after placing the order, the delivery guy called me saying they were out of Chicken Shwarma but that they would substitute another menu item for same price- no problem, went with the beef kabob. The order arrived not too much after that, and one of the appetizers was missing. Tried calling over and over- literally they did not answer the phone for the entire day on Sunday so I got screwed out of the app I paid for but never got. On top of that, my wife was in the bathroom multiple times from the beef kabobs. Its a shame because when they manage to get it right, their food is good but its always a coin toss. We've ordered at least 2 other times in the past and had items missing from the order. It shouldn't be that hard to get this right but apparently maybe it is. There are too many better options that give you everything you pay for without sending you to the bathroom. read more

Should have shared my thoughts on this place earlier. The kitchen's commitment to freshness comes through. The value here simply can't be beaten. The employees combined friendly manners with kind treatment. You should give this place a chance - I'm pleased I found it. read more

Value: 7.5/10 For ~$16, the bowl order gives you MUCH more meat and much more food than a chipotle bowl. For such a small establishment, I'm impressed at how they manage to keep prices very reasonable. Flavor: 9/10 Don't know if these guys can do much better when it comes to this. The meats are sliced fresh off the shawarma (the spinning meat) while roasting, so naturally it's always juicy and hot. They also give you a great amount of it, which is why I will eat at this joint anytime over Chipotle (which I keep referencing because I assume most are familiar with the burrito bowl portions). All the other ingredients and sauce in the bowl are stunningly fresh; while eating inside I saw fresh bags of produce being brought to the kitchen to prepare. Really gave me a good feeling about what I was eating. The bowl is very filling, and leaves you feeling healthy and refreshed. Service: 9/10 The workers are really welcoming, and were happy to take my order and even let me use the employee only bathroom in the kitchen after I ordered. The only critique I have is I wish they labeled, or made it clearer what each bowl ingredient was and tasted like. Even after visiting multiple times, the only way I know how to respond when they ask me what else I want in the bowl besides the meat is "I'll take everything." At least the food tastes great, so I never have to worry about anything tasting bad. Ideal place for a lunch break and a decently-valued, tasty, healthy, filling meal. read more

This place just happened to be right in the vicinity of where I was staying and I'm all the better for it! It's a quaint little corner shop with smells that can leave you with wonders. You get three options to pick from; pita, wrap, or bowl. I went with the wrap! The person behind the counter was helpful and even suggested a couple things for me to add in. There wasn't a whole lot of options for fillings, but I actually love that! I wasn't overwhelmed in the slightest bit by it. The wrap itself once I started eating? Amazing. Flavors galore. And if I stay here again, I'm for sure eating here again! read more

I mostly order in from Shawarma Mia and think it's a good option for a late evening meal. A few things it does well: + Lots of topping options at no additional cost + Big portion sizes if you're feeling hungry + Quick service On the con side, I find their lamb too fatty for my personal liking. Again, personal choice here but would favor their chicken for an evening meal. read more

The food was soooooo DELICIOUS! I hope one day they'll branch out to Georgia! So far nothing here in ATL beats what they have going on!

Yummmm. I had the Shawarma Mia's falafel last evening. Yummmm. It was delicious. They load it up there with all kinds of salads, great falafel balls that are made fresh on-site.

This is the best bowl place in brooklyn (take it from someone who eats a lot of bowls). This place has tastier chicken shawarma than Berliner Doner Kebab, a wider selection of sides, and better prices. I used to think Taim and Cava were pretty much neck and neck for the best bowls in the neighborhood, but this is my new runaway favorite. The only reason I'm even writing this review is because it's so good that I don't want them to go out of business so I'm letting you in on the secret. read more

Delicious cauliflower shawarma pita, the seasoning was sooooo good. O would come here again & order another meal when in the area.

I normally don't leave reviews like this, but I had a really concerning experience. I bit into a piece of raw chicken at this restaurant--fully raw in the center, not just slightly undercooked. When I brought it to the staff's attention, they brushed it off like it was no big deal and accused me of lying--until I brought the dish out and showed them the raw chicken myself. This wasn't just a kitchen mistake--it was a serious food safety issue, and the lack of accountability made it worse. Serving raw chicken puts customers at risk, and responding with denial instead of concern is unacceptable. I wasn't looking for anything, just hoping to alert the team and receive a basic apology. Instead, I was met with defensiveness and indifference. I won't be returning, and I hope no one else has to find out the hard way that this place doesn't take health and safety seriously. The staff member I spoke with had a shirt that said "Charlie." This happened on 5/2/2025, in case anyone else reading this had a similar experience or got sick around the same time. read more
