Shawarma King

Wish I read the reviews more thoroughly before stopping by. The staff was kind and place was clean, and I waited less than 10 mins for food. I ordered the lamb and beef shawarma plate - unfortunately I thought the meat was overcooked / dry but the tzatziki sauce helped. I haven't seen meat cut in tiny bits like this before for Mediterranean food so that might've caused it to be overcooked. The late was $16.99 which was a little surprising because the price for this wasn't on the menu. I probably would not give this place another chance, and go to Al Bacha instead.

Quick stop in town for business. Traveling from the east coast to Seattle. When checking into my hotel , I inquired about surrounding restaurants. A guest over heard my question and suggested Shawarma King due to it being in walking distance from hotel and the late hours for service. It was my first time trying shawarma in general. I chose beef versus chicken or lamb (next visit). The gentleman behind counter was patient, friendly, and helpful as I asked multiple questions about sauces and such. I would absolutely go again. The reason for 4 stars : the inside of establishment could use some TLC (paint, updated furniture, etc). Also the music was very load. The service & food was 5 star. Good size portion, crispy fries.

Late flight in and in need of food late. Hotel guy recommended Shawarma King. One of few places open around midnight within walking distance of the hotel. Tip #1 don't go walking in this neighborhood at midnight. Tip #2: this isn't the place ti eat unless you're starving. Had a Shwarma plate. Lamb was ground lamb, hummas was bland, pita was old and hard.Won't be back.

I popped into Shawarma King for dinner time takeout and settled on a chicken kabab plate. I was quoted 20-25 minutes for it to be cooked to order and ready so I grabbed a few things at Target a block away in the meantime. When I came back there was a little miscommunication about my order but other than that smooth sailing. I really enjoyed the meal, at a reasonable price too. Nicely seasoned chunks of chicken, rice, fresh salad, soft pita, and creamy hummus for dipping. These guys really seem to know what they're doing and served up quality food. No problem waiting 20+ minutes for a satisfying plate. You could probably stretch it into two meals and eat some leftovers for lunch, but if you're really hungry it's likely going down in one sitting. Being on University Ave, there's not really any parking around, so you're best off walking in on foot, or asking a delivery service to handle the hassle for you. Nice pair of guys behind the counter, would certainly order again.

Sad to rate this as a 1/5 ): I got a chicken shawarma right now with high expectations. The shawarma is a decent size, it's narrow but long like the size of my forearm. The sad part is that the chicken had no taste whatsoever. I was really sad because it only tasted like the pita bread plus some lettuce. The chicken is just very bland. Maybe i have to come back and try a different meat. Total was $12.66 Service took like 15-20 mins with no wait.

My friend and I arrived here at 11:15 am on a Tuesday morning to grab some quick food for a picnic at Washington Park Arboretum. Nice homey interior good for solo, group, or families to dine on on authentic Egyptian and Greek food. They serve shawarmas and gyros too! Our order took about 10 minute to finish and we set off. Super excited trying my first shawarma and it beat my expectations in being thick with chicken and veggies. Delicious seasoning on the chicken and refreshing medley of veggies. All I wished was more sauce in the shawarma since it did get dry at one point. Quick to go spot with quality food!

I ordered from Uber Eats so I don't know about the ambience or how the servers are but the food was very very delicious for the first time I had falafel and were not super dry. The hummus was good and the dolma was great.

Gyro: 3/5, the meat tasted a bit dry and nothing too special about it. Wrap was coming apart and many burnt parts. Fries: 3/5, the toppings and sauce on top were great but the fries itself were very bland and tasted like they were frozen and heated up.

Yummy menu choices! The service was prompt too! There's no doubt that we'll be back!

The service here is fast and friendly! The food is DELICIOUS! Also, easy on the wallet. Open really late.
