We ordered food here last night for the first time, what a gem this place is! I had a Gyro wrap and husband had a Kafka dinner. The Gyro was plentiful and juicy and hot. They also kindly substituted taztziki sauce for the tahini - thank you! Husband is very picky about his Kafka, he said "this is a winner!" The hummus was wonderful, silky and delicious, with warm pita. It's a lot of food, easily enough for 2 meals, so very good value for the price. Highly recommended, this goes on the list of go-to places! Sorry we don't have very good pics, this pic really does not do it justice, but you can see how much food there is! Hummus is served on the side. If you like this type of food (or don't know if you do) TRY THIS!!! Thanks folks!!!

Iโ€™ve eaten a lot of Middle Eastern food over the years, but Shawarma King is easily the best Arab food Iโ€™ve ever tasted. The flavors were incredible โ€” bold, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Every single dish we ordered was top-notch. The portions are huge too, so you definitely get your moneyโ€™s worth. The owner and staff were some of the friendliest and most attentive people Iโ€™ve ever come across in a restaurant. They genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience, and it showed. I canโ€™t stress enough how amazing both the food and the whole experience were. If youโ€™re looking for authentic, delicious Arabic food, this is the place you need to go. Iโ€™ll be recommending Shawarma King to everyone I know and Iโ€™ll definitely be back very soon!

Iโ€™ve eaten at quite a few shawarma places over the years, and each one had one thing they did good. These guys do everything great! The best middle eastern food I have had. Everything is fresh and delicious and the folks working there are nice and accommodating. Definitely a new favorite for my wife and I.

I came to shawarma king for the first time with my mom today. My family always raves about this place but for me I never got the hype, probably because I'd never eaten there. I called ahead to place the order of a mixed grill platter, pita, and hummus. When we got there our order was ready for to go, but we decided to stay and eat there. The food and service were both excellent here. First off the food was incredibly fresh. The meat in the mixed grill was tender and fragrant, and the platter comes with a lot of different meat. On top of the food they have excellent service. The person working the counter gave us extra pita and garlic sauce for free. The team continued the streak of kindness by letting us try the falafel. The falafel itself was freshly made, the texture outside crumbly with the inside perfectly soft. Lastly, please don't sleep on their drinks section! They have a variety of eastern and western beverages that anyone can enjoy. I recommend either the vimto or the barrican apple if you're looking to try something new.

Had an absolutely great experience here. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The wrap was perfectly toasted and packed with a really well-balanced filling, and the fries were crisp and seasoned just right. What really stood out, though, was Haroon. He runs the place with a level of kindness and attention that you donโ€™t see everywhere. You can tell he takes pride in what heโ€™s serving and genuinely cares about the people coming in. Definitely the kind of spot you come back to. Highly recommend! ๐Ÿฉต
