Mediterranean pita catering is everywhere — and most of it tastes the same. A hummus tray, some falafel, a chopped salad, call it a day. Shifka is the version New York offices order when they actually want the food to be a thing people talk about.
From the team behind Sami & Susu — the Michelin Bib Gourmand–recognized restaurant — Shifka is a chef-driven pita shop on the Bowery serving signature pitas, Build Your Own Shifka Bars, and breakfast spreads like shakshuka and lox-and-latke packages. We're thrilled to welcome them to the CaterCow platform, now delivering across the greater New York City area — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey City, Hoboken, Staten Island, and Long Island — from 324 Bowery.
For offices stuck rotating through generic Mediterranean trays, this is a real upgrade. The Sami & Susu DNA shows up in the details: house-made falafel with zhoug, sabich pita with eggplant and a soft egg and amba aioli, lamb kebab with peppers and onions, cauliflower shawarma that the vegetarians on your team will actually fight over.
What makes it work for catering specifically:
- Build Your Own Shifka Bar at $14–18 per person — pick a main, grain, toppings, and sauces; serves ~10 ($140 vegetarian / $180 non-veg). The turnkey option for an all-hands lunch where nobody has to debate
- Signature Pitas package at $15 per person — individually packaged pitas with chef-driven fillings (Harissa Chicken, Lamb Kebab, Cauliflower Shawarma, Schnitzel, Sabich, Falafel, Shrimp); $13–19 each à la carte
- Half-tray mains serve ~10 — Falafel ($80, 70 pieces), Cauliflower Shawarma ($80), Sabich ($90), Schnitzel ($110), Harissa Chicken ($110), Shrimp ($120), Lamb Kebab ($140)
- Real breakfast catering — Bacon, Egg & Cheese Burekas tray ($140), Shakshuka tray with jammy eggs and matbucha ($180), Lox-Latke-Egg Package ($180), Tunisian Sandwich Package with tuna conserva and harissa ($200) — all serving ~10
- Native vegan and vegetarian coverage — cauliflower shawarma, falafel, sabich, and the four catering dips (Muhammara, Babaganoush, Matbucha, Labneh — $45 each, serves ~8 with pitas) — built into the cuisine, not bolted on as an afterthought
Bonus: compostable bowls, lids, napkins, and bags plus recyclable cutlery and sauce containers — useful when your office is reporting on sustainability KPIs.

Why order Shifka catering through CaterCow?
Four reasons that hold up after the discount expires:
- One invoice across multiple restaurants. If your team rotates between Shifka and other caterers in the same week, you get one consolidated bill instead of chasing receipts.
- On-time delivery guarantee. If the order runs late, our team handles the make-good — not your office manager calling the restaurant during the lunch rush.
- Headcount flexibility and dietary tagging. Add or remove orders up to lead time, and every individual pita arrives labeled with name and dietary callouts (vegan, vegetarian) — so the vegetarian doesn't end up with the lamb kebab.
- Rewards. Every CaterCow order earns you CaterCoins you can use on future orders or redeem for Amazon gift cards.
