Shawarma King

Went here to get a snack before a concert nearby and the food was delicious. Everything is made to order so it can take a few minutes to receive your food, but it’s worth the wait. The Greek fries were delicious. I highly recommend those. Prices are affordable and you get pretty large portions.

Solid spot and inexpensive compared to the other restaurants in Seattle.
Their shawarma sandwich was solid and the portion size was good . Comes with rice pita and hummus and lots of chicken.
The falafel balls on the side were nice as well.
The place is a small sit down place . Grab a quick bite and leave .

Highly recommended!!

I tried their shawarma plate and Gyro sandwich. Just amazing all around. The shawarma plate was super tasty, fresh, great long grain rice seasoned to perfection and did not taste old or stale like other restaurants I've had this dish at. The meat and veggies along with the tahini were seasoned to perfection. I really enjoyed the authentic seasoning spices they use. The meat was also deliciously tender.

The Gyro sandwich was also fantastic. More of the seasoning spices all over the veggies along with their sauce really took this over the edge in terms of flavor. It could have used maybe a tad bit more meat but honestly I wad so blown away with how well they layered the flavors that I just didn't care.

The pita bread on both dishes was super soft and fresh as well.

This place is packed all the time and rightfully so. One of the best middle eastern spots on The Ave and in Seattle. The fact that they stay open until 2 and 3am certain nights is also amazing, especially if you are out with friends fir the night. The staff were friendly as well.

There are other similar restaurants on The Ave but this one is called shawarma KING for a reason!

This is a humble looking place with authentic music and Egyptian art/craft, and a friendly server at the counter. However, the food is a disappointment. Baba ghanoush was old and likely spoiled and very kind of the staff to refund me. Both the baba ghanoush and dolmas were taken out of the refrigerator in a plastic container.

I can’t help but excited anytime Shawarma King enters my cerebrum because of how my taste buds are always treated after a meal. The garlic paste and the lamb shawarma are to die for. Service is quick and the food quality is excellent. I also love seeing how the owner continues to strive for authenticity. I will be returning.

This place is hooking it up right now. At midnight on a Tuesday drunk I was not planning to leave a glowing review. So I got the veggie plate, and baklava. Baklava can be hit or miss, so when it's pretty much perfect, is that luck? I don't know. And then it's this veggie plate which is $15, but I did not expect like three sandwiches worth of food, and then to be enjoying eggplant this much, almost disconcerting. Because I didn't realize the main thing was gonna be this killer grilled eggplant. I'm not like a vegan who was planning to eat mostly eggplant. So yeah these guys hook it up. Look at these pictures

EDIT bro I got the kofta plate. Please understand. I've eaten at alladin like 30 times. Cedars, samir's, sultans, even the other shawarma king, was like ok, now the only contender is shawarma time, next to the trader Joe's. Period. Rock on. Yes

Alright Shawarma King, 2nd time here, 1st time I ate the food so fast I didn't get any pictures 😅. Had the Gyro plate, Greek fries, and the Baklava roll.. Absolutely delicious, the Gyro meat, the rice, salad, hummus, the pita bread freshly grilled was on point. Flavor was on point 👌 Best Greek Fries Ever 🤌. 2nd time was Chicken Shawarma plate and Greek fries, I couldn't resist. It did not disappoint. Grab some of their chili sauce as well. Neat spot tucked in the university district. Very close to my hotel within walking distance.
