I was there for first time today and it will be the last. The dish I chose was the kafta kebab. It…read morewas so overcooked I could not even get a fork into it and could not break it with a piece of pita. I left almost all of it on the table and did not eat it. They also use the dreadful thin wood knives and forks. The fork would not even pierce a pepper. I had to shovel the salad into my mouth. I deliberately did not bring this up until after I paid so they would not accuse of wanting a free meal, nor did I after I paid. What I got was no response at all when I told them that the beef in the kebab was so overcooked that it was also impossible to chew. Although I did not tell them this, it was dry like beef flavoured sawdust held together with glue. The food was slopped into the container when it was brought to my table. They were not the least bit interested in what I had to say. Talk about rude. AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT LIKE THE PLAGUE. DREADFUL MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD. On my mother's side, I have Middle Eastern heritage and know what good Arab food is.

We ordered takeout from Falafel King during our vacation, and it was by far the best food we had…read moreduring the trip. The order consisted of: [1] donair poutine, [2] donair wrap, [3] falafel wrap, and [4] beef shawarma platter. First off, Falafel King is very liberal with the amount of donair they layered on both the poutine and the wrap - they were loaded with so much delicious donair that it puts my Bay Area-local restaurants to shame. And it was good, like so tasty. For the poutine, the gravy was just right - it was neither overly watery or viscous.. The yellow potatoes used in the poutine were fried on demand, so they came out extra crispy. The beef shawarma platter was also pretty loaded with delicious meat, rice, veggies, and large-sized pita (the same ones used to make the wraps). To top it off, the order came with a free side of Baklava. The hot sauce used in the wraps had some real heat to it, even though it wasn't slathered on. Service was fast, and the two gentlemen working the counter were very courteous. As for the layout of the restaurant, it seemed clean - but we did not linger given the order was takeout.

Ok, so I couldn't decide on salad dressing and chose wrong but that's on me! Ha! Everything was fresh and delicious. We ate in, even though it seems take-out keeps them hopping here!

I like my donair like I like my ladiez , crispy, hot, and thyyyck. The price was also very reasonable and the service was top notch. -1 star just because I felt the decor was a bit dated, however it was very clean surprisingly for 786 type business ya feeel

I had a falafel platter which was dry, old and flavourless. The platter was mostly old rice and old potatoes. Hubby and daughter had beef donairs and described the meat as dry. My older daughter ordered butter chicken and it was dry dry dry and she found hair in it! The place has not been cleaned in a very long time and I think thats a direct reflection of how many F$&@S are given in the establishment. Won't be returning.

Came home exhausted, tired and hungry for some warm delicious comfort food. After a quick search for restaurants near home, we decided to order from the KING of Shawarma. Reviews seemed decent. 5 stars on FB and 4 stars on YELP. Figured, why not I'm new to Calgary and need to find some good shawarma and Mediterranean food. I order through Skip the Dishes. Food came fast. Took about 45 minutes. I specially requested for all sauces and dips to be on the side, since I've worked in the restaurant industry before I understand that food doesn't always travel well and in order to avoid soggy messy food made my request and even apologize for the inconvenience in advance. Food comes. I look at it and instantly become irritated. Everything is mixed together. And all the exact same shade of grey and brown. The skin was falling off the potatoes (and not in a good tasty way) the chicken was dry and flavourless. I can honestly say that neither mine or my roommates food was touched. Literally made me sick to my stomach looking at it. Whatever, ok things happen. I get it. I called the restaurant to complain about my order and to request either a refund or a new meal. I asked to speak to a manger, the person on the other line said he was and that he remembered packing my food. I told him it wasn't what I ordered, and that I wasn't happy. He was rude, arrogant and refused to take responsibility for the situation. He tried to blame skip the dishes for his poor work ethic. After about 3 minutes of talking to his fine outstanding young man it comes to my attention that he is in fact NOT a manger and that none are there to talk to me or deal with the situation. After all that talking, this person can't do a thing to help me. I tell him to talk to his manager and to call ME back. He agrees. Fast forward 30 minutes still no call. Nothing. So I call back. First call phone rings about 15 times then disconnects. Second call straight to voicemail. Third call he answers. Tells me the manger isn't there. I tell him I'll be by tomorrow to return this food. He shrugs off my concerns and lets me go. Well today, as much as I wanted to bring the food back and collect a refund, life got in the way and I needed to work. Still have yet to hear from a manager. I didn't even receive an apology or nothing. Wound up making freezer pizza for dinner, after only wanting shawarma from the king.

They make all their meat and sauce in house. The staff made us feel so welcome unlike the other location they have. It's was horrible and they were rude so make sure you go to this one.
