Mezeh Nutrition Calculator: The Short Answer
The Hummus (serving) at Mezeh has 120 calories, with 3g of protein, 8g of fat and 140mg of sodium — the standard build, exactly as the Mezeh Nutrition Calculator lists it.
For context, the Mezeh Nutrition Calculator tracks 16 items, and the average one runs about 202 calories. 13 of them come in under 300 calories and 15 under 500, while the heaviest — the Chicken Shawarma Bowl Base — reaches 520. Where a single item sits inside that spread matters more than the item's reputation: menus, not names, decide what a meal costs.
The Full Breakdown: What Is in the Hummus?
The full profile of the Hummus (serving) at Mezeh: 120 calories, 3g of protein, 9g of carbohydrates, 8g of fat, 4g of fibre, 1g of sugar and 140mg of sodium. Against a 2,000-calorie reference day, that is 6% of the day's calories, 6% of the sodium guideline and 2% of the 50g sugar daily value — which is why the same item can be a light choice in one day and the whole budget in another.
Where those calories sit matters as much as the total. Protein contributes 12 of them, carbohydrate 36 and fat 72 — so the Hummus is a fat-led item, which is why smaller portions of it still satisfy. That split, not the headline number alone, is what decides how long the meal keeps you full.
How Does It Compare With the Rest of the Mezeh Menu?
One number means little without the menu around it. The table below lines the Hummus up against the lightest item at Mezeh, the highest-protein item, the best protein-per-calorie pick and the heaviest item on the menu.

| Item | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hummus (serving) | 120 | 3g | 9g | 8g | 140mg |
| Unsweetened Iced Tea | 0 | 0g | 0g | 0g | 10mg |
| Chicken Shawarma Bowl Base | 520 | 32g | 48g | 22g | 980mg |
| Chicken Kabob (protein portion) | 200 | 19g | 2g | 12g | 240mg |
What Pushes the Number Up (and How to Pull It Down)?
At Mezeh, the headline item is rarely the whole story: size upgrades, sauces, cheese and the side you add by habit regularly contribute as much as the main itself. The menu's own extremes prove the point — the same kitchen produces the Unsweetened Iced Tea at 0 calories and the Chicken Shawarma Bowl Base at 520. The gap between a light visit and a heavy one is almost never the restaurant; it is two or three quiet additions.
The reliable defence is to decide the extras on purpose. Keep one rich addition — a sauce, a cheese, a dessert — rather than stacking them, and let high-volume, low-calorie items do the filling: the Lentil Soup (cup) leads this menu for fibre at 8g, and fibre is what makes a lighter order still feel like a meal three hours later.
- Lightest item on the menu: Unsweetened Iced Tea — 0 calories
- Heaviest item on the menu: Chicken Shawarma Bowl Base — 520 calories
- Best protein per calorie: Chicken Kabob (protein portion) — 9.5g per 100 calories
- Items under 300 calories here: 13 of 16
What About the Sodium and Sugar?
Calories get the attention, but at Mezeh the quieter numbers deserve a look. The saltiest item on the menu, the Steak Shawarma (protein portion), carries 1010mg of sodium — 44% of the full day's 2,300mg guideline in a single item — while the least salty, the Unsweetened Iced Tea, carries just 10mg. Salt rarely tracks calories: plenty of light-looking orders are sodium-heavy, and plenty of hearty ones are moderate.
Sugar is more concentrated. The Falafel (4 pc) holds 6g — the most on this menu, though within a day's suggested limits on its own — while most savoury items sit in single digits. The practical rule: check the drink and dessert line first, because that is where the sugar in a Mezeh order almost always lives.
How Does This Fit the Rest of Your Day?
No Mezeh order happens in isolation, so place this one against a reference day of about 2,000 calories, 2,300mg of sodium and a 50g sugar daily value. The average item in the Mezeh Nutrition Calculator runs about 202 calories, which means a typical one-item-plus-side order lands near a third of the day's energy before a drink is counted. That is not a problem to solve — it is a budget to be aware of, and the awareness is most of the value: the rest of the day can run lighter precisely because lunch was counted.
The pattern that works for most people is asymmetry. On a day when Mezeh is the main event, let the other meals be simple and protein-led, drink water by default, and treat the Falafel (4 pc) (6g of sugar) as the dessert decision made in advance rather than at the till. On a day when the other meals are the occasion, Mezeh can be the light one instead — the Unsweetened Iced Tea at 0 calories proves the menu supports it. Either way, the plan is made once, calmly, instead of being renegotiated at every meal.
- Menu average: ~202 calories per item across 16 tracked items
- Lightest anchor: Unsweetened Iced Tea — 0 calories
- Best protein per calorie: Chicken Kabob (protein portion) — 9.5g per 100 cal
- Fibre leader: Lentil Soup (cup) — 8g, against a 28g daily target
- Salt ceiling to watch: Steak Shawarma (protein portion) — 1010mg in one item
The Bottom Line
The Hummus (serving) at Mezeh has 120 calories, with 3g of protein, 8g of fat and 140mg of sodium. If your build differs from the standard one — an extra sauce, a different size, a swapped side — run it through the Mezeh Nutrition Calculator before you order: thirty seconds there replaces every guess in this article with your exact total.
