Shawarma King

Something’s changed in the past few months. Not sure if it’s new owners, but it does seem to be new employees. The old guys were incredibly efficient and could handle busy traffic. I was in for lunch this week and it took over 20 minutes to get a Shawarma, and the whole handling of customers was incredibly disorganized.
It’s a reliabile Donair/​Shawarma, but if they can’t get their service back it could be a long ride.

Delicious plates, best one next to Pita Basket. Except they have very good prices. They really need a touch-​up on maintaining the look of the place and no doubt will there will be an undeniable increase in traffic. Other than that, it is off to devouring their delicious food!

Absolutely loved it! Cheap and great for the prince, totally recommended. I tried the mixed shawarma (neef and lamb)

I had heard about this place and we just wanted a couple of shawarmas to go, did not have to be fancy, just good. It was OK.
We got 2 mediums (no smalls available) and it was recommended to us by the gent behind the counter to get the chicken and lamb. Sure, why not. At the til when paying, he added a $ 1 for each one for the lamb bits we got. Oook. Too bad as the lamb was not really worth it, it was really dried out. The pita was ok, not the freshest I have ever had (I think I prefer the fluffier ones), same goes for the toppings. Not bad, just not out of this world.
Tip 1 — make sure you are not going too far to eat as your shawarma will fall apart on you.
Tip 2 — only ask for half of the 3 sauces you get (refer back to tip 1). If not, your mouth will be coated in garlic (not USUALLY a bad thing) and you will not be able to taste much else in your sammy.
$ 22 for 2 meds and a can of diet Coke. I was looking at the menu on the wall after ordering and I feel maybe the platters are a better deal for $ 9.50 each.
Open til 4am!

The original and best location. Unfortunately the owner doesn’t work the counter as much anymore. But when he used to be there this would have easily been a 5 rating.
Still the best Shawarma in town!

Soo goood! and late too. U can get them to deliver as well.

I have tried this place a few times now. Don’t care for the shwarma wrap so much… but we keep coming back like hounds for the chicken shawarma platter. This hot mess has the garlic goodness that I crave.
What you get is a mountain of food — too much for me to finish but just right for others. The things I love about this platter are the garlic sauce, the seasoning of the chicken and the fact that the chicken is moist. Hate when it’s all dried out. Hate even more when the chicken has those chunky, chewy, hard «mystery» bits — I have never had that experience here, thank goodness. You get the usual with this platter: pita, rice, chicken, potatoes, some kind of lettuce, maybe some pickle? I forget but I would say it’s the usual platter stuff.
We even hit up delivery once; it’s slow and pricey but kind of nice to have the option. Shawarma platters kind of go hand in hand with Netflix and sweatpants, so sometimes delivery is a must!

Where to start, ordered a medium falafel, received and charged for a large. Took it away, lazy dude working the till didn’t include any napkins in the bag. Sat down for a meal in the park, noticed that my lunch was left on the flat iron too long and the wax paper had fused to the outside of the pita. So, here I am, in the park trying to salvaged my lunch with no napkin to clean up the horrendous mess that is supposed to be my dinner.
Recommend strongly avoiding as indifference of staff leads to outcomes like the one received. Will not be returning, quality of food is mediocre at best.

I’m far from being a shawarma expert, having only been to a few other places, but this place served me the best one I’ve had so far (and the only one that made me want more).
The only downsides for me was that it was cash only (despite the Interac sticker on the door) and their ATM was out of service.
There is a bar to sit at if you’re not taking away.

The two times I’ve been here the music has been so awkwardly loud it’s hard to tell the employee your order. The falafel I had was good so I came back a second time. The music was even louder and there were more friends hanging out in the place than employee, the atmosphere was so uncomfortable that I left without ordering.

meh. order the «medium» and not the large, as the large is freakin’ HUGE.
this place is pretty good, but i’ll admit i have a bit of a soft spot for shwarmas. i’d drive half-​way across town to come here, but probably not completely across town. that’s how i feel about this place. somewhere in the middle.
certainly worth trying.

I popped in here to grab a bite to eat. Whenever I get a chicken shawarma, I always compare it to this amazing Lebanese restaurant my Hubby and I frequented while living in Bangkok, I haven’t since had one that even compares.
So I tried to give shawarma King a fair chance. the guy working seemed like he was in a hurry to serve me, even though I was the only one in the store. They have 2 sizes of shawarma, I asked for a medium chicken, which went for $ 7, which seemed a bit much. He shaved off my chicken and put it on the grill. The veggie options are a bit sad looking, I went for tomato, cabbage, onion. He threw it all together and put it on a grill, while I paid, with a juice it came to almost $ 11. The shawarma was pretty big, I can only wonder how big the large is! I’ll admit it was good, definitely hit the spot!
I wasn’t wowed by shawarma King, the prices seem a bit steep, but my food was good.

This place does not live up to the hype. I wouldn’t bother stopping by unless you happen to live in the area.

great yummyness in the wee hours
