Hard working people. They take their jobs seriously and it shows. Their food is consistently great! Keep it up!

I've been eating there for several years now and have Never had a bad experience. now ive broaden my eating horizons and tried the Iraqi Kabob and WOW! Im off on another tasty treat to look forward to. thanks Shawarma King for always coming thru. Limin and Lia take great care of me when I come. read more

Pretty good food for your money, if you are getting a sandwich wrap. Not for everyone, but worth a try for something different, and doubtless better for your health than standard American fast food. read more

Always healthy food that is delicious. Employees do a great job and know their menu. $15 lunch combo that comes with a good size sandwich, two sides, and a drink. I personally like the chicken shawarma with garlic sauce, salad, and lentil soup. Over the years, I have enjoyed every food item I have tried from their menu. read more

If you're looking for delicious shawarma, this is a great place. I have come here many times and enjoyed my sandwiches. However, the last time I ordered my favorite spicy chicken shawarma they gave me beef... and it was not spicy. When I called back to let them know the sandwich was tasty but not what I ordered, the woman laughed at me and said I ordered beefy so I gave in and ate the sandwich. It wasn't bad because I'm not too picky and I understand we are in the middle of a pandemic. Go to Middle Eastern Appetite. They give you as many lemons as you want ;) read more

Limited Mediterranean options in the neighborhood. Personally don't think the entrees complement the sides. Definitely not a fan of their yogurt sauce. Ordered their mixed kabob. The skewers arrived dry and poorly seasoned. read more

Shawarma King - Mixed Kabob with basmati rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Oh my gosh. I have gone here for years, first with my dad, until I was able to drive. You can see a lot of familiar faces. A chicken shawarma sandwich and a fattoush salad is my go to! I have tried other restaurants but none have EVER compared. The garlic sauce is so yummy and good for the health! If I could come here every day, I would. One of the top places! read more

Don't confuse this location with the one on Westnedge. Friendly and fast service, combined with fresh and authentic middle eastern food will bring me back to this location again. This food is prepared with love! read more

Shawarma King - Mint lemonade - Mediterranean Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Food is always amazing, the Grape Leaf Sandwich is delicious. And their King Tea is a must.

Great place. I go to this place once a month. Food recommendations 1. Fresh falafel 2. Any sandwiches ( its well portioned and rightly priced) 3. Chilly lime fries 4. Grape leaves 5. Biryani rice 6. Milk tea Only downside about this is the kabob platter. Food is great but, not well portioned. It cost close to $15 for couple of kabobs (6~8). Tip: always look for lunch specials. They are really worth it read more

Shawarma King - Chicken biryani - Mediterranean Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

They have a potato dish that's slightly spicy and lemony; excellent must-try. Everything here is good.

Such a great spot. Authentic, tasty, and quick service. 100% worth trying if in kzoo and want something fast.

Was on a roadtrip and looking for a place to grab lunch, love Mediterranean and the parking lot was busy at 2:00pm, a good sign. Was seriously impressed by the food. The Falafel, Grape Leaves, and Kibbeh were some of the best I've had at any Mediterranean place. Very fresh and tons of bright flavors coming from the spice mix. The lentil soup was also very good with a broth base much more complex than I've had from most vegeterian dishes. Definitely not an afterthought like most places. I haven't had that much garlic sauce since it's uncommon to be served with sides outside of Detroit's sphere of influence, but theirs felt a cut above. Everything mentioned completely stole the show from the Shish Kabob which I would actually suggest avoiding. It was good, it just wasn't great, a small portion, and the shawma that others were getting looked and smelled so much better. Too bad they don't have Kifta on the menu, I'd love to try their version of it. If this was a local place I would instantly become a regular. Too bad I was only passing through. read more

Where do I start!!!?? I've lived off of Drake Road for almost 4 years now. Shamefully, my first time stepping into Shawarma King was one month ago. Since then, I've eaten lunch from here at least twice a week! My most recent visit I ordered the grilled chicken Fattoosh Salad with a side of their Garlic sauce. The chicken was unseasoned and a tad bit dry. However, the garlic sauce made it worth me finishing it. The dressing was amazing and the salad itself (Greens) was fresh. It is my hope they work on the grilled chicken as their Shawarma Chicken is nowhere near dry. I will be back, however I will not have them add the grilled chicken to my salad. I'm completely addicted to this place and will work my way around their menu! Side note: The prices for a sandwich is very reasonable ($4.00-$6.00). read more

Decent food but a bit pricey. Service exceptionally slow. Unique menu so worth a try but be prepared to wait & wait and ......

Very good food! Good service. Love the Lebanese salad & Chicken Shawrma. In addition on Tuesday th the Shawarma King and and Roma's pizza next door make a Shawarma chicken pizza sold by Roma's.! read more

If it wasn't for Yelp, we would never have stopped here. It is a very unassuming location with a beat up sign and very little street frontage. Nothing to recommend it at a glance. The inside is fine - clean and well kept - but the food is the real star. Everything we ate was delicious. I thought the Samosa recipe was particularly interesting and enjoyable. Familiar, but unique. Our shawarma plate was loaded with superbly creamy and flavorful hummus and they provided plenty of pita to sop it up with. Our 5 y.o. daughter was happy just eating the bread and some house rice. Our server was excellent when available, but harried by an after-church rush that put the staff on its heels for a bit. It is a small place with limited wait staff, so I didn't feel any ill will toward them for it. We aren't from the area and only dropped by because of good reviews and proximity to the highway, but if we lived in the area we would definitely be regular customers. read more

Ordered takeout from here while visiting from out of town. We come from a small town where we definitely don't have Lebanese food as an option! I picked the House Combo for one and ordered through Uber Eats to our hotel. The meat was good-tender, flavorful, and juicy. But the falafel and grape leaves were pretty dry. The fattoush salad and Lebanse salads were both fresh and delicious, no issues there. Garlic sauce was good, too. Overall I'd say this is average, it wasn't terrible but the food wasn't the best Mediterranean I've had, either. Perhaps it has to do with being take out and not fresh from the restaurant. read more

Excellent food and service. Great job with service and shawarma! The chicken is super moist and flavorful. Garlic sauce on point!

Great food. Friendly staff. Clean environment. What more can one ask for! The price is alittle high but I guess you get what you pay for. There fresh mint lemonade is to die for. read more

Not the best Mediterranean food I've had, but the most convenient place for this food in Kalamazoo. I've had the King Salad and the Falafel Delux sandwich which were good but not exceptional, not enough flavor. The garlic sauce, however, is some of the best I've ever tasted! Everything seems reasonably priced for the portions. My friends who grew up in Kzoo prefer the Westnedge location for their buffet, which I also think is better. read more

I love this place. I was I town for work and found this place. I seriously ate here every night for almost 2 months. It was always delicious

This place should be called Shawarma Peasant, not Shawarma King. Shawarma was dry and tasteless. How does this place have more than 1 star? read more

Go see Abe, he's fantastic! And his food is world class! Everything was super delicious. Get a chance to talk to Abe and you will be hooked. Good guy! read more

Extremely friendly staff and super fast service. Food is fresh and delicious. Very helpful with food allergies also

I absolutely love this place! I'm from the West Coast where we have lots of great Mediterranean food and this is definitely one of my go to places to eat in Michigan. Would definitely recommend! You should try their mint lemonade if you're looking for a drink read more

Good food long wait. But then again prolly because of the good food there was a long wait.

Very friendly staff! The outside of the building isn't much to look at, but the food is delicious! We had the shawarma lunch and sandwich. We had lentil soup and salad and baklava. The chicken shawarma was good, but it wasn't what I was use to where the chicken has been marinated all the way through and this was mostly white meat, too. It looked like the shawarma was really just a rub that was coated on to the chicken. It was still good -- just not was I was use to. The rice was fabulous. The baklava tasted like it was made with only pistachios, and you receive a large amount of baklava for only $8. I would come back just for the baklava! read more

It was yummy and the falafel wrap was great. There is a meal combo but I would call ahead and order because they get packed!

Super organized and friendly staff I definitely I am excited to come back to visit this is always one of my favorite place to pick up my Uber eats delivery read more

I thought it was just okay. Food was just okay, price was reasonable. I have had much better Shawarma in San Diego. Fries were a bit soggy. read more

Everything was dry, I've worked at a shawarma food truck so I know good Shawarma. Just felt kind of fumbled and tasteless. Sauce is usually the best part of good shawarma of which they give you very little. I'd eat elsewhere. read more

We enjoyed this restaurant many times while living in Kalamazoo several years ago. We were back in town and had to stop here to get lunch to-go. You really get a great amount of food for the price. It's ready in about 10 minutes, which is excellent. The fattoush salad isn't how we remembered it. Something wasn't right and really we couldn't tell the difference (beside the pita) between the Lebanese and fattoush salad, which was disappointing. Portion size for the lunch combo was enough for two. My kids really enjoyed the falafel appetizer (10 pieces) and didn't save any for me! Excellent service! read more

Great buffet food for a even better price. Would highly recommend for your next lunch break.

Been a fan for years. Actually the only restaurant I visit with any regularity. What more can I say? Happy I can also buy pita bread too as grocery stuff just doesn't compare (a lightly warmed pita with PB&J is a treat!) Last Christmas in the midst of the pandemic and lockdown I treated myself to baklava for dessert - oh my, but was that every tasty! Reading the other reviews I need to expand my menu options! read more

Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! All of their food will fill refuel your humanity, especially their rice!

Great food and very reasonable prices! Got three different kinds of wraps and they were all very tasty. read more
