King of Shawarma is hands down one of the best spots for shawarma in town! The chicken is always juicy, the portions are generous, and the flavors are absolutely incredible. Their unique green chili sauce adds the perfect kick to every bite. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, even during busy hours. Plus, they’re open late, making it a great go-to for a late-night meal. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic, flavorful shawarma!

I’m on the hunt for the best Schwarma with homemade hot sauce. This is a top contender! Good price @ 12.50 for Large mix. The lady serving me was very friendly. Chicken and lamb is very juicy/tender, with excellent portions. Rumour has it they make their own hot sauce so I asked for extra. They put some green chilly sauce in there that I’ve never seen before and am happy to have experienced. I’m a big fan of the double wrap (though avoid bread in general) with thin outside layer. It looked too big to fold over but somehow she did it! Grilled to perfection and no leakage at all. ( drive for 15 min before eating) Very tightly wrapped and no mess consumption. As I write this I can still taste gentle hints of the green chilli sauce fading away. It’s the kind of hot that turns people who don’t like hot sauce onto hot sauce lovers.

I'm not sure what the bad rap is about, mostly seems like misunderstanding the orders, which is easily fixed if you communicate with the restaurant. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap; the blend of spices they used was unique and the meat was juicy, overall an amazing wrap. They also wrap it twice, with the thin layer pressed to a crispy perfection. 10/10 would come again
