Shawarma King

Food was great! We had the falafel wraps and they were mad quickly and tasted delicious! Definitely recommend for a quick bite

Love the lamb shawarma here. Clean, juicy, filling. Atmosphere is nice, employees are always friendly, at both locations.

Excellent service. Place is clean. Polite employees. Food is great and everything is fresh. The best Shawarma I ever had. Must try Baba ghanoush. Thank you so much Ali and Mohamed Shefiq for the Smile and excellent customer service.

Will forever be my go-to Mediterranean spot. Egyptian style gyros and shawarma are always a hit, and the king's gyro fries are a meal or a shared snack in itself. Open late which is great for when you're either off work later in the day or just don't feel like cooking when the munchies hits around 10:30. Always have had great interactions with the staff and have had prompt and hot food ready within minutes of walking in and ordering. Might not always be the prettiest, but I've never had an leftovers from anything I've picked up from here.

Amazing proportions for the size, fast service, tasty, and they're open late. What more is there to say this place is pretty perfect!

It's pretty rare that I write a review, and even more rare that I write a negative review, but my experience this evening at this Shawarma King warrants it.So, let me first say that I'm not from Seattle, I come from Pullman, a much smaller city on the other side of the state. While not totally bereft of culture, there are only a handful of restaurant options there that aren't your standard hamburgers or pizza fare. So, having moved recently to Seattle, I've been excited to try new things. I happened to be in the neighborhood and popped in here with my friend to get a bite.First, the good-- the place is decently clean, smells okay, and the service was friendly. The prices are pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get. The lighting was actually pretty nice-- soft, warm, enough to see well but not overwhelming.Unfortunately, that's all I can say in terms of positive remarks, because the food-- oh, god, the food.I have never had shawarma, but my friend has, and she assured me that what we received tonight was not typical by any means.I got a plate of lamb shawarma-- so, lamb, rice, something that I think was hummus, a bit of salad, and pita bread. My friend got a shawarma wrap.The lamb-- dry to the point of being almost desiccated, yet rubbery and difficult to chew. Virtually tasteless. When I say that the food here was bland, I don't mean that it wasn't exciting in the Epicurean sense. I mean that it literally tasted of nothing.The rice was fine, it was cooked to a decent consistency, but again had no taste. None. It was almost uncanny. You know in the Matrix when they're eating nutrient paste and complaining about how they miss the fake food from inside the Matrix because at least it tasted like something? This shawarma plate was that. It was nutrient paste, arranged to look like food.The hummus, again, same general issue. The pita bread tasted like packaged pita bread, because that's what it is. Unfortunately, that was the best part of the meal.I was actually really hungry, so I ate the plate, but I did so by dousing it in the sauce available on the table and then salting it heavily. Only then did it begin to approach something resembling a palatable meal.On top of all of that, the food was lukewarm, which I'm not even sure how they managed that because they cut the meat off of the rotating spindle that cooks it when you order it. The rice, the hummus-- I understand if that's not piping hot. The meat, though? The thing that was literally in a vortex of hot air two minutes before I put it in my mouth?Guys, I'm not a picky eater. I'll eat cup-o-noodles every day for lunch. I don't DO fine dining. But what I experienced here was so bad, it actually made me feel a little ill. It's like my body was beginning to question whether I was actually eating FOOD.I'm surprised that this place has four stars, and it really makes me wonder if we just caught them on a bad night. I almost feel bad for being this critical, but again I'm really not a picky eater. I don't have a refined palette, but I really had to choke this down.Serve your food warm, use some spices when you cook, and make sure your meat isn't mummified. Please.(And, yes, for those of you wondering THAT question-- I can taste and smell everything else just fine. It's not my senses.)

Yummy, fast service, reasonable price. Big servings. Hole in the wall vibes. Stopped here on a whim and it was worth.

I've lived on the same block as this business for over a year, and I have to say: I love the food and the employees. Ali has been the guy every time. He is such a good guy, not to mention a great employee. He provides such wonderful service. I would recommend anytime. Ambiance is fantastic

This Shawarma King is a go to for me. The guys working are incredibly pleasant to interact with and get you your gyro/shawarma quickly. No bs like other places that take 15 minutes or more for a gyro. So glad these guys are here in the UD. Good vibes at this Shawarma King. Lamb gyro every time.
