    Fattoush Salad

    Probably the best Mediterranean food in the area. We've been coming here for years and always consistent food reasonable prices great portions and very friendly staff.

    Shish Tawook

    Shwarma King is a fantastic spot in Kalamazoo. The food is excellent in quality and highly authentic. I got the Shish Tawook dinner plate with rice and french fries. The chicken was perfectly grilled and was so moist. It had an excellent charbroiled flavor with a wonderful marinade that had an earthy spice. The rice was perfectly cooked and moist and it complemented the chicken very well along with the fries. It also comes with a dip, which I believe was toum or garlic mayo. This place has me giving it a 4/5, however, because the restaurant itself. The floors, walls, and corners seemed like they haven't been cleaned in ages. It was really unappetizing to look at and I stopped being hungry while waiting for my food. The wonderful dishes were a good distraction from the ambience. Unfortunately, this restaurant is better as take-out than dining in if you want to maintain your appetite.

We ordered their mixed appetizer platter to start. (Hummus, baba ganoush, falafel and grape leaves) EVERY single thing item on that platter was very clearly fresh and so, so flavorful. Especially their falafel! I've had my fair share of falafel in my life and honestly, probably the best I've had, hands down. Not dry, crispy and delectable. Baba ganoush was smokey and garlicky...so yummy! Grape leaves tasted amazing. Hummus...packed with flavor. I had completely forgotten about their fried chicken! They do a terrific fried chicken there as well. Love this little restaurant and I was very happy to see how busy they were tonight. Doordash and Uber Eats was going crazy!

Well, woe was us, because we were left hanging waiting for our food for more than 20 minutes, despite no one having ordered anything particularly complicated. Then our server awkwardly brought out the food as it was finished instead of simultaneously, leading one of my starving companions to sheepishly ask if he could start eating! The food itself was decent to rather good. My grape leaves were on point, and we all praised the shawarma sauce, though apparently sans sauce, certain elements were unseasoned. Would I come back? Maybe for pick-up or delivery. The dine-in experience is a mess.

I knew I wanted the sojouk pide, as I've seen it but never tried it. It was so unique in flavors I don't think I've experienced before and I absolutely loved it. I only ate about half and it tasted great leftover, too. (It is NOT like pizza!) My friends both had the lentil soup and grape leaves and enjoyed both dishes. I've tried grape leaves before and don't care for them, but my friend convinced me to try it - and it was the best I've ever tried! The leaf wasn't tough and there was a nice wrapper to filling ratio. I knew I had to get the knafeh, again a dish I've seen on tv but never had. I was doing the Food Dance! (The owner 'caught' me and we had a good laugh!) My friend had the milky baklava and enjoyed that. I regret not trying a bite. I can't wait to go back. Some of the nicest staff I've ever encountered - welcoming, warm, friendly and happy to explain anything to someone new to the cuisine!

Everything was okay. Quite heavy. The Mandi was a novelty, but ultimately the ayasofya pizza was a let down. It tasted more like a casserole with the thick heavy base, and did not have the Mediterranean taste we came to love in our time living in the Middle East. This felt like a poor facsimile of American pizza with some Turkish toppings. These two items came to $38 quite a premium for two items. It does keep you full though... I won't be hungry again today.
