I go to Shawarma King regularly. It is flavorful, perfectly cooked, and consistently satisfying. That said, everything on the menu is excellent. The food is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is friendly and efficient. It is one of those places you can count on every time. I genuinely love it and highly recommend it.

A very nice establishment laid back and the service is great. The older man at the front was very nice and made you feel at home. The food taste as you would expect, but the gyro was my favorite with a side of the kibbah. Go support these guys they deserve it.

13/31/2025 — my son wanted to try Shawarma for the first time. He liked his chicken shawarma, except for the veggies in it, lol. Friendly staff and nice causal atmosphere(relaxing music). Tasty food. ‘Reasonable’ prices for portions. Fries could use some seasoning, that was about the only negative thing to note.

I recently had dinner from Shawarma King, and the experience was mostly fantastic! The meats were absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection with great flavor. However, the sauce selection left something to be desired. It was a bit basic, not spicy, and lacked the bold flavor I was hoping for. Overall, the food quality was excellent, and I'll definitely return, but I’d love to see some improvement in the variety and flavor of the sauces offered.

Tried this mom and pop shop for the first time today with my husband. It was a pleasantly nice experience for us. We had the beef and the chicken shawarma and it was fantastic! As you can see in my picture, the food looks and tastes very fresh. There was an older lady in the back preparing our food. An older gentleman was at the front taking our order. He was very nice to explain when I asked him questions about the menu. Great customer service!! We waited at a booth and he brought out our order. The wait for food was very quick’n Taste was good and fresh - felt healthy and manageable for a lunch meal. We didn’t feel bloated after our meal. We recommend giving this place a try if you ever need a quick lunch or meal.

Customer service is always great and the food is even better! I always get the falafel wrap and fries! The taste is very authentic so it’s worth the drive.
