Delicious food, huge servings, really nice people with good service, at an affordable price. What more could you want? P.S. Definitely try the house tea! read more

Delicious food every time! It's good quality and well priced. Try the lentil soup and the hummus!

This pl always seems to be busy, so calling in your order ahead is recommended. That being said, this pl is tops in customer service & great tasting food. My favorites here are the chicken shawarma sandwich (the garlic sauce is amazing!), chicken biryani, & the moujadrah rice (if you love really carmelized onions like me, order extra on top, trust me!) Also, try a lunch special to get some creamy lentil soup included w your meal, its fantastic! read more

Shawarma King - Chicken Biryani lunch special w lentil soup & a side order of moujadrah rice w/xtra onions! - Mediterranean Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love Shawarma King! I usually get the chicken shawarma wrap and king tea, with hummus and sometimes falafel and baklava. Everything is amazing, every time I go. You can even get bulk pita (which is the best pita I have found in Kzoo) for super cheap. The food is fantastic. The only issue I've ever had was once they got busy and they asked me and a friend to move tables to make more room. It is super rude to ask paying customers to move. People waiting will have to wait until we are done, that is how restaurants work. If you wanted us at a different table, then we should've been seated at a different table in the first place. read more

Let me start with this.....to truly get the best experience, you have to sit in. Ownership is absolutely fantastic. They take care of you and have no problem letting try some food if you unsure if you like it. They are always very friendly, answer any questions you have and truly make you feel welcome. You are always greeted and then given a genuine goodbye as if they want you to come back tomorrow. Now to the food.....Where do I start! I havent had anything from here that is remotely close to being bad. I usually get the Shawafal and it is amazing. Their homemade falafal and house made garlic sauce make this to die for. Lets not forget their Lentil soup which is the perfect cold winter day food. This combined with how cheap it is to take some Pita bread and sauce make this one of mine and my family's absolute favorite places to eat in Kalamazoo. read more

Given the possible existence of an infinite number of alternate universes, I feel cheated by being born into one where there isn't a chain of Shawarma King locations conveniently located throughout Michigan. This is easily my favorite Middle-East place. The thing is, had a friend not suggested it, I wouldn't have given it a second thought--I mean, it's set up in an old Pizza Hut and, well, most restaurants that feature the word "king" (or "chef" for that matter) rarely live up to their title. Anyway, it's a buffet, it's cheap and food is really good. I wouldn't take a date there or anything, but for a few dollars more than fast food, it's a great place to grab a quick lunch. read more

This place is top notch! From excellent food to excellent service! The owner goes out of his way for every customer. You feel like they have known you forever there. Their food is excellent quality and they make sure you leave full and happy that you came! read more

We were driving past Kalamazoo on I-94 last night looking for a good place to eat a quick dinner. We pulled up the yelp app on an iPhone, browsed around, and decided to try Shawarma King. It didn't disappoint. The restroom was clean, the wait people were friendly and attentive but not pushy, the dining room was quiet and comfortable, and the food was delicious. We ordered chicken kafta, tomato salad, and basmati rice. We also had a piece of baklava for dessert. It wasn't as sweet and gooey as I'd hoped -- the spices were unfamiliar -- but my husband enjoyed it so I'd say it was "just me." We drove a few miles to get to the place, but the US 131 exit would have made it a very convenient stop. read more

Bronco meal is a great variety and amount for 4 hungry adults. The kebab, schwarma, falafel, grape leaves, the sides. Oooh man we were so glad that we decided not to cook because that garlic sauce is delightful. Highly recommend calling in for carryout because the expediting members at the entrance are both kind and efficient. read more

Instant hospitality and kindness when we walked into the restaurant. The owner himself came up to us and helped us decide what to eat, since it was our first time. He was so friendly, he even let us sample some of their hummus along with pita. He made our experience so pleasant. We definitely will be back to this place. Food is great and customer service amazing! read more

Thank you Yelpers! This place is solid. Certainly not fancy, but great Mediterranean food. I had the grape leaves (yum!) and the freshly prepared hummus plate with lamb and almonds. Wait staff is efficient and friendly. I'll be back for more! read more

Shawarma King - Hummus plate with lamb - Mediterranean Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Stumbled upon this little gem on our trip from Chicago to Metro Detroit. We had been craving good shawarma, very hard to come by in Chicago. Great food, big portions, amazing prices, and a very friendly and attentive wait staff. Chicken Shawarma with feta sandwiches was a tasty twist on a traditional shawarma. A potent garlic sauce and pickles tied the sandwich together nicely. The side of hummus and Fattoush salad were also delicious. Overall a great find and definite stop if you're looking for solid shawarma. read more

Love them. Huge portions and always good food. Fast service too!

The food is genuinely great and the staff is top notch. Try the Amo Mazen tea. Similar to a Thai tea but warm and is Amo-Mazen! read more

This restaurant is amazing! It was the first place we tried after moving here this month and we were incredibly pleased. We had the dish that came with a little bit of everything. Out of this world! I could not stop telling all my friends about how delicious the falafel was. My husband liked the chicken shawarma best. We also ordered chili lime fries and they were really good as well. I would say I wished they were crunchier but that is just personal preference. The flavor was great! The lime was the perfect amount. Highly highly recommend this place! read more

There is so much to appreciate about Shawarma King between the great food and great people. My family and I always feel welcome. The food is always satisfying and the value is tremendous. We also appreciate the diversity of patrons at the restaurant which shows the broad appeal of the food. Thank you, Nidal, for running since a warm and welcoming place. read more

Excellent food to say the least. I've been a regular customer here for more than 10 years now and LOVE this place. Friendly service, always clean - really looking forward to when they start on their (planned) expansion. Recommend the chicken shawarma sandwich, RBD sandwich, vegetarian platter, and the Fruity Suze smoothie, so good! read more

Shawarma King - Chicken Shawarma with Feta Cheese and Mixed Salad with Pita Bread Bits. - Mediterranean Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

I guess this is semi my fault because when you go to a place called "schwarma King" you should probably order schwarma, but I cannot pass the opportunity to pass up biryani if it's on the menu. It was decent, but the chicken was dry and needed a little more spice. The falafel was delicious as well as their garlic sauce... I don't know the right way to say this, but the hummus tasted dirty, for lack of a better word. And I love humus :( read more

Super solid and consistent spot. Definitely a top choice in Kalamazoo for lunch or dinner. Friendly folks and excellent, affordable food; what more do you want? read more

Good tasting middle eastern food, lots of choices on the menu. Worth a visit if you're looking for something tasty that isn't a chain.

This is by far my favorite place to eat. Great staff, great prices and consistently delicious food. Best hummus, a fatoosh salad.... A medium split for two! So glad he stays in business and tastes the best between the other shawarma restaurants in kzoo. read more

I used to get the lunch special from here all the time! It's a great deal! The food is so good!

Not bad.. I've definitely had better kebabs elsewhere. Meat was a little dry both times I went, and tabbouli was a little overdressed. Their grape leaves were very good and served warm, which I enjoyed. Falafel was also very good, warm and moist inside. Service varied. The first time, we had good service, and the second time, our initial server was great, but the one training her did not allow us to order lunch (arrived 5 mins before lunch was over), and kept reminding us that what we wanted cost extra (which we had already said that was fine). It was not a pleasant dining experience to ask for something and constantly being told "that will be $0.50 extra" even though we already said that was fine. read more

I love love love this place. Been coming here regularly since they first opened over 10 years ago. The owner is kind and gracious. The food is always amazing, and the service is impeccable and efficient!! read more

This is a place with mouth watering food!! The Garden Delight dish is yummy!! And Falafel deluxe sandwich is like a treat!!!! We tried the chai tea(do not remember the actual name) and it not only refreshed us but the flavor uplifts your mood instantly! Lastly, the baklava literally melts in your mouth. It's that good.. And the best part is the staff!! We've never felt so welcomed and comfortable anywhere else. If you want to give your taste buds a treat just go to this place! :) read more

Shawarma King - Baklava!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Kalamazoo. The food is always delicious and the people who work there are always so friendly and attentive. I love the beef shawarma sandwich. For $10 you can get a good sized sandwich, fattoush salad, rice, and a pop. (Hint, you will have leftovers there is so much food. Save the rice, it warms up well). read more

I lived in MI for four years. I had some Syrian friends who introduced me to middle eastern food right here. The food is great, fast, with can't beat prices. I recommend the black hot tea with a little sweetner of your choice. A cup of hot lentil soup, especially on a cold night. (Kalamazoo doesn't lack for those). My favorite platter is the shish tawouk. The humus is great. It's not Dearborn, but what is? Enjoy!!! read more

Drove all the way from Holland to try out Shawarma King based on raves from a friend. Overall, I've had better Lebanese food. My husband ordered the shish kafta and enjoyed his dish with the fattoush salad. I ordered the mixed shawarma sandwich, huge portion, but I found it to be a bit dry and bland in the meat. The chili lime fries were good but could have been a little bit crispier for fries. I'd give it 3 stars for food. BUT adding an additional star for friendly service and great prices, you can't beat $3.25 for the portion size of the shawarma sandwich read more

Excellent food. From the apps, sandwiches and mains. I have not found anything I wouldn't order again.

Craved Lebanese food,wanted to support local restaurant, so ordered chicken Shawarma and shish tawook; everything was overcooked and dry. Both Lebanese and Fattoush salads drowning in dressing, and couldn't see any difference plus order did not include pita bread. The best part of the meal was the lentil soup and that the order was ready for pick up when I arrived. read more

Amazing family owners & cooks, always great wait staff. Everything is delicious, tender, juicy, meat cooked correctly and fast. Veggies are bright and crisp. Fresh, flavorful spices and I can't emphasize that they are so consistent. Wonderful tea. read more

This place SLAPS you get so much food for such a good price and the staff are always super kind!

i lived in Kalamazoo for 14 years, this is the second time I go there, both time I regret. I took my friend the first time she told me never again. Shawarma has no taste, falafel , kibee . I wish I can get my money back. Never never again. No taste, bland. read more

I ordered their mixed shawarma sandwich with a side of hummus at Shawarma King. This was one of the best meals I've had. The meat was perfectly seasoned, as was their hummus. I hope to go back soon and try some of their other menu options. The only thing I would say is their dining area is stuffy and hot. If you are temperature sensitive, you should get your meal to-go. They also have a grocery area, and you can purchase hummus and yogurt as well. read more

For all Shawarma lovers, or even foodies and want to try shawarma, you have to try this place! I personally am a big shawarma fan and this place is really good. The staff are very welcoming but do not expect a fancy place; I ordered chicken shawarma and Fattoush and they are both not to be missed. Recommended :) read more
