Shawarma King

Right smack in the middle of the U district! Parking is challenging, college students everywhere so plenty of people watching. The eatery is small, lots of seating and great food. My friend and I had a gyro, fries with the yogurt on them, not sure of the name, and baklava. I highly recommend this place, I will be going again.

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!

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
