Great taste and good quality food. We got the kofta kebab plate and chicken kebab sandwich. It was delicious and really great taste especially the sauce and the salad sides and pickles. Sandwich is good for the price but we didn’t think the plate is worth for that price. Wish the plate had more kebab meat instead lot of rice and sides. Wasn’t a fan of meat pie, expected something like pastries but was like a pita bread with meat spread. Overall great place and quality food, worth a try.

I went here with some relatives that were visiting from out of town. We love middle eastern food and specifically Lebanese food and frequently go to Lebanese restaurants back home. The quality and taste at shawarma king, especially for the price, is severely lacking. The best thing we had was the babaganough, which was smoky and well seasoned. The rest of the food, however, was extremely bland and mediocre. I had the lamb and beef shawarma plate, and the meat tasted more like bbq brisket than shawarma. They clearly didn’t use enough of the classic shawarma spices, and didn’t even use enough salt to keep the meat from being bland. At $20 for the plate, I feel ripped off. Not to mention the portion was considerably smaller than that of Boston shawarma on Huntington. The staff was very friendly and efficient, but it seems like their cooks have a few things to learn about how to use middle eastern spices. I would recommend just about any other shawarma restaurant over this one. Save your money

I ordered 2 Chicken kabob wrap thru DoorDash and what I received us soggy wrap with literally 2 huge chunks of chicken and lot of lettuce. I had asked for onion and even laid extra for it there were no onions. Clearly it was not kabob and just some dry chicken made wet with lot of sauce. Very disappointed

Trash food, don’t go here the bad reviews are true. They microwave their ingredients, falafel dry as sand, stale re-heated bread, and unseasoned meat. Babaganoush and hummus was good.

The customer service was awesome. Told them it was my first time there. Ended up going with a chicken shawarma plate. I usually get the same at Garlic and Lemons. I should have said no burnt pieces of chicken, because who likes burnt chicken? Big mistake. When I got home I noticed 2 edible pieces of chicken and the rest burnt. Do they always serve burnt chicken to new customers? I won’t be back. Garlic and Lemons in Brighton is way better and for $16 dollars for a Chicken shawarma plate, I felt ripped off.

The chicken shawarma plate was a sour chicken soup instead of shawarma. The rice amount was small. The pickles were low quality soft instead of vinegar crunchy pickles. The waiter and waitress were friendly. The garlic sauce was sour the hot sauce was sour.
