I had been craving a doner kebap and was pleasantly surprised to find a local spot after hopping on…read moreYelp. I'd arrived during the lunch rush, and there was line of folks both waiting to order and to pickup their orders. This is always a great sign in my book! The aesthetic of this space was simple yet thoughtfully decorated. The staff was also really kind and created a warm atmosphere. I really appreciated the simplicity of the menu and how there was a handful of items to order from rather than an overwhelming amount that can cause analysis paralysis. Check out how simple it is! There are four different entrees you can choose from; a kebab sandwich, roll, plate, or box. Onward to the proteins, where you also have four choices: chicken, beef, a mix of the two, or falafel. Then you pick your sauces, choose your vegetables, and BOOM. That's all you need today decide in the have the kebap entree of your dreams. I ended up ordering a beef roll, with garlic and spicy sauce, and all the vegetables minus tomato. I also added on fries and a drink for an additional $3.99. Despite how busy staff was with putting out order after order, I received my order within 5 minutes. And WOWZA was the kebap roll a fantastic size. If I wasn't so hungry, I would've eaten half and saved the rest for later!! The fries were a bit overdone for my liking, but they were freshly fried and made-to-order which I appreciated. The beef roll was fantastic. The ratio of meat to accoutrements was perfect and I loved the medley of sauces. I will DEFINITELY be ordering this meal again the next time I visit.

I can't remember if I found this place on Yelp or if my husband found it on TikTok but I am so glad…read moreone of us found it. We have been twice in three months... which is pretty good considering it is really out of the way for us. Both times we ordered Kebap in a bun and a couple French hot dogs. I cannot even tell you how good and different this is. The garlic sauce is FREAKING amazing. We brought a hot dog home for our son who didn't eat it, the next morning my husband and I ate it cold, right out of the fridge. It was so good. Service is great. The first time we went we had no idea what we were doing. They walked us through it and gave us great advice. Cute and clean.

It's shawarma and the authentic taste of what comes together in an explosion of taste and flavor is undoubtedly delicious when you walk into the shawarma king your nose signals to the brain to get your taste buds ready if you're not already salivating over the smell. But once you've taken a bite you'll definitely come back for more and you will not be disappointed i have told plenty of foodies that are looking for something different besides the typical burger and pizza, so give shawarma king and your taste buds will appreciate it

4 Stars for Shawarma King in Gurnee…read more This is a pretty convenient location and directly across the street from Six Flags Great America, and also close to the 294 highway. The food I had was pretty tasty, I got to try the chicken and beef shawarma plate - very expensive but very tasty, big portion enough for 2 meals. I also tried the beef kifta kabob wrap with a side of falafel- delicious! They threw in an extra falafel as well, thanks! There is also plenty of seating inside if you want to dine in. My only negatives are they do not give free cups of water, you have to buy a bottle if you want a drink. And they only include one tiny cup of hot sauce with your order. Overall, it was a good experience, if you want Mediterranean and you're in Gurnee it's not a bad choice.

Doner Kebab has two locations with Hartford, WI being the original (2nd location is in Milwuakee,…read moreWI). Doner Kebab delightfully offers a sandwich very similar to the ones I frequently enjoy when visiting Germany! It's great to have the ability to have something similar so close to home. The Bread The flat bread itself is made fresh in-house daily from just 5 ingredients. The bread is soft with crispy edges and pockets the doner ingredients nicely, and is made fresh in-house daily! The insides The doner ingredients feature veggies, meat, and sauce. Meat--The meat offerings are beef or chicken, depending on their rotating weekly meat schedule. Last I knew, chicken was on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and beef was Thursday-Saturday. Veggies--their veggie offerings include onion, red cabbage, lettuce, and tomato. Sauce--Their signature sauces are yogurt-based with a hint of mayo and include herb (krauter), garlic (knoblauch), spicy (sharf) or try a trio of all three for an authentic style. They offer the classic doner, a donerdilla (think doner + quesedilla in one), doner wraps, doner bowls (gluten-free option), or loaded fries. You can also order a side of seasoned fries, or take your order and make it a combo with a drink (coke products) and fries. FYI, their seasoned fries are worth it. Current Tuesday Special is: Buy 3, Get 1 Free (deals rotate) Ambiance is clean and chill--casual dine-in or order to-go. Service is friendly and attentive. What more could you ask for on this side of the globe!

I was in town for a baseball tourney and used Yelp to find a local spot near me. Shawarma House was number two on the list and close. I only got a falafel sandwich, not a lot to analyze. So, customer service and cleanliness were both fives. The falafel was not my favorite. It is skinny, veggies are carrot heavy, I'm used to more of an Israeli salad: tomatoes and cucs, lots of herbs. I subbed garlic sauce for the tahini. Didn't taste it, sadly. I also got a side of the tzatziki...honestly my least favorite tzatziki of all time. Very mayonnaise forward, no salt, just not what I want in a sauce. I would go again but try something different, likely the namesake...Shawarma!

Absolutely recommended with 5 stars!…read more I heard about this restaurant from TikTok as it is rated the #1 restaurant in Lake County, and now I see why! We stopped in for some lunch. We were greeted by owner Marlene, who is absolutely wonderful. We placed our order and got some fresh lemon water. I ordered the lunch special Chicken and Gyro plate, and he ordered the Lamb Kabob Plate. While we waited for the food, we chatted with Marlene, and we were given some baklava (love that stuff). My goodness, the aroma coming from my plate was so good. The meats were cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were just right. He told Marlene that was not his first choice for food, but this meal changed his mind. The pitas and sauces were delicious as well. The presentation is nice, and portion sizes are large. I brought some home. I feel so bad because I forgot to tip, which is crazy for us. But, this just means we have to return soon and give a large tip. Don't skip trying this place. You won't be disappointed! Closed on Sunday, so plan accordingly.
