Mezeh Nutrition Calculator

Mezeh provides nutrition information through their mobile app and a downloadable allergen/nutrition PDF on their website. This tool lets you build your exact Mezeh bowl and instantly see total calories, protein, carbs, and fat using that published data.

It depends heavily on your base and sauce. A greens-based bowl with chicken shawarma and light toppings can come in under 400 calories, while a white rice bowl with hummus, falafel, avocado, and a creamy sauce can easily exceed 1,000. Use the calculator above to see your exact total.

Chicken Shawarma, Steak Shawarma, and Chicken Kebab all deliver 32g of protein per serving. Chicken Shawarma does it at 260 calories, making it the most calorie-efficient protein on the menu. For a high-protein bowl, pair chicken shawarma with brown rice and add classic hummus — you can build a 45g+ protein meal with a balanced calorie count.

Start with a romaine or mixed greens base (10 cal), pick Honey Harissa Chicken as your protein (250 cal), and keep toppings light — tzatziki dip (40 cal), cherry tomatoes (5 cal), and sumac cucumbers (5 cal). Add tzatziki sauce (35 cal) and the whole bowl comes in around 345 calories with ~35g of protein.

Most of Mezeh's menu is naturally gluten-free — all proteins, most toppings, and most sauces are listed as gluten-free on their allergen chart. The main gluten-containing items are pita bread, pita croutons, and pearl couscous. Mezeh is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact is possible. Staff will change gloves on request.

Yes. Falafel is the main plant-based protein. All grain and greens bases are vegan. Vegan toppings include classic hummus, spicy hummus, black lentils, Lebanese tabbouleh, pearl couscous, Turkish salad, corn salsa, caramelized eggplant, cherry tomatoes, sumac cucumbers, pickled onions, and chickpeas. Harissa and sweet lemon tahini sauces are also vegan.

Yes, with the right build. Chicken Shawarma (3g carbs), Steak Shawarma (2g carbs), and Chicken Kebab (1g carbs) are all near-zero carb proteins. Greens bases are 1–5g carbs. Avoid white rice (38g carbs), brown rice (34g carbs), and pita croutons. A steak shawarma on romaine with tzatziki, cherry tomatoes, sumac cucumbers, and harissa sauce comes in well under 15g net carbs.

The formats are nearly identical — Mediterranean build-your-own bowls with overlapping items like shawarma, falafel, hummus, and tzatziki. CAVA is nationwide; Mezeh is a regional Mid-Atlantic chain primarily in MD, VA, and DC. Both are similar in calorie range for comparable builds. The biggest calorie drivers at both are the same: creamy sauces, hummus portions, and rice bases.

Mezeh can be a solid macro-friendly choice. All food is made from scratch with 100% extra virgin olive oil and no preservatives or artificial additives. The menu is built around lean proteins, fresh vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. How healthy your bowl is comes down to your base and sauce — a greens-based chicken shawarma bowl is very well-balanced, while a rice bowl loaded with creamy dressing can exceed 1,000 calories.

All values are sourced from Mezeh's published nutrition data for standard portions. Individual serving sizes can vary slightly by location.
