We got the grape leaves, baba ghanoush, and meat combo plate. The grape leaves were (3/5) because i liked how vinegary they were but the rice was a tad overcooked and I found a hair rolled in one of mine....... Baba (4.5/5) because it had a great flavor! Meat combo (3.8/5) because the chicken was a bit hard and dry but the lamb kebab was good and so were all the sides it comes with. The chicken just didn't quite have the charcoal flavor that i love. Overall, I'd consider coming back because i love supporting small, local, businesses. But our total was quite pricey to find a hair in the food and for hard chicken.

He said he was indeed open for business, and he had just gone to Morocco for a while. So I'm giving a one-star deduction for no mention of this anywhere, no signs on the door, no website updates, nothing. That's why I thought they had closed for good. But I'm glad they are back and I will be too, since I enjoyed the food when I visited previously. Better communication would be a very good thing though.

Do you like Shawarma? Do you like Kabob? Well, bow down to the king, because this place is where he places his booty (that means his items, and not his tushie; check your heart). If I could eat here every day I would, but unfortunately I can't because my body is made up of a collection of fire ants and three femurs from a diabetic horse. I return to the earth Tuesdays-Fridays (and on Nicholas Cage's birthday), but when I rise, I bow down to the king. RIP Rosie Perez. RIP George Clooney. RIP Douglas MacArthur. The fire ants are calling me back to the earth.

Situated in this run-down strip mall that is desperately needing some upgrades, the restaurant…read morequietly exists with so much humility. Despite its image, however, the reviews left by previous customers are solid. This convinced me to try them on one Saturday evening. Its inside is very simple with interior like an old Middle Eastern diner feel. They could utilize more decorations to indicate the kind of cuisine (Afghanistan) they represent/boast and yet, that may not be their focus. Most of all, what's important is the "heart", the food to say it precisely. A few tables were occupied by eat-in diners which I noticed upon entry. I wasted no time by proceeding to the front where they take orders. A young man there greeted me. I told him I was in for a to-go order. I thus adding said to him that I would need a minute to decide. As I took the time to study the menu I noticed that the prices of the dishes were quite reasonable. And yet it was hard to gauge the portions of them. I shall see when I get my food though. By the time I had been back to the register after solidifying as to what I would want, a different young man was upfront. He was also polite and welcoming but not to the over-the-top way. His "generic" type of gesture was good enough. I told him what I wanted 14. Lamb Tikka Kabob ($13.99 as of early April of 2026). He said it would be ready in about 10-15 minutes. It was quite right on time when my food came out of the kitchen. Once I had the chance, I started my dinner. Let me quickly summarize the food here: -Portion: Quite good. If mere $13.99 buys this size of food, I would go for it often. -Food quality: Whereas I wouldn't describe it as "excellent" or "exquisite", the plate was filled with good flavors. Everything from the meat to the rice to the salad to the hummus, the quality was solid. The naan bread, however, was quite small and thin (thought they could be a bit more generous.) Is this a typical Afghani style bread? Not sure. I am not versed in the Afghani cuisine (as I've already hinted a bit.) Whether or not I am speaking about the authenticity of the very culinary traditions/styles correctly, this might be as the closest Afghani eatery gem as you can find in this part of town. I don't know how long this restaurant has been around but my assumption is that it's not overexposed to the public eye just yet. Despite the fact that it's located on this busy intersection of Quebec and Evans/Iliff, King of Shawarma & Kabob is indeed a humble business. And yes, I will return to it when I think of reasonably priced solid Middle Eastern food next time.

Not quite a steal, but the meal is absolutely satisfactory. This place is quality you can have at 3 a.m which is rare. The atmosphere is relaxed, I enjoy the lighting as it's more of a gentle glow rather than bright lights in your face. It feels open and chill.

Super tiny parking lot that only has a few spots, but plenty of street parking nearby. Inside is clean enough, but definitely doesn't sparkle. You can see the kitchen with the giant gyro rotating on the roaster. They do tons of takeout business. If you want to dine in for dinner, then I suggest arriving around or before 5 because the place fills up fast. Otherwise, be prepared to wait for a table. My co-worker tells me that the best thing to get is the special. So that's what I always get, and I never ever regret it. Special is the way to go. You get a nice variety of meats, garnished with onion and tomato, and a side of rice and flat bread. It comes out sizzling on a hot, shallow wok-like tray. It always comes with chicken breast chunks, shavings of gyro meat, and then whatever else he's made for the day. One on occasion, it was chicken quarters, lamb, and a sort of stewed beef. On another occasion, it was filet mignon, strip steak, and something else I can't recall. Generous portions, as it feeds 2-3 people. Great value. The chef/owner really cares too. One time, we were pressed for time, so we only ate a bit and asked for to-go boxes and a check. He had a very concerned expression on his face and asked if the food was alright. I assured him that it was great, but we needed to go to an appointment. Sometimes there's only 1 person working there (chef/server/cashier/busser). When that happens, don't be shocked if things aren't blazing fast. Be understanding, and support small businesses. This easily qualifies as a hidden gem.

Despite the crowd, the service was still really good the person to take our order was attentive, friendly, and did a great job keeping up with everything going on. The workers in general were really nice, which made the experience enjoyable even with the busy atmosphere. I personally am not a huge fan of this type of food, but I decided to order fries, and I have to say, the seasoning on them was absolutely delicious. I liked them so much that I even asked for extra, which is always a good sign. I was a little upset, though, because I had planned to get a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Unfortunately, this location didn't have it on the menu. Don't laugh at me, but I suggested this spot because the Phoenix location I've been to multiple times sells a really good grilled cheese and tomato soup, which is why I thought it would be perfect for a late-night meal after the club. It was a bit of a disappointment to find that the menu wasn't consistent between locations. Other than that discrepancy, everything else was great. The food we did have was tasty, the drinks were good, and the overall experience was enjoyable. The vibe is very much a college town feel, which makes sense since it's right near DU. It's casual, lively, and a fun place to grab a bite late at night, especially after an event or night out. Overall, I'd come back again, but next time I'll double-check the menu at this location first if I'm craving something specific like the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Other than that, solid service, tasty food, and a fun, college-town atmosphere.

The lack of salt and seasoning was very prevalent and was the definition of mid. The wraps were good for the prices but the meats could use more marinating and spices. One thing I would definitely avoid is their mozzarella sticks. The description mentioned a Lebanese style sumac seasoning, but all we got was Sysco or Costco style mozzarella sticks. You shouldn't be charging those prices for frozen mozzarella sticks (I know because my work's cafeteria serves the same mozzarella sticks from Sysco). I ended up dousing them in homemade marinara I had leftover. Hummus had a nice texture but also bland. Staff is friendly but unfortunately I cannot recommend this place.

However, the service, especially the younger girl who "greets" you (and will eventually take your order), needs a bit of an attitude adjustment. It is pretty obvious she doesn't want to be there. Not engaging, likes to slam down menus and plates on the tables. Yelling in the back at the staff, etc. I would 100% go back for to-go order, but not for a sit down. Kind of sad as this could be a great spot for a meal out. For food it is, mind you. But feeling like you are an annoyance while dining inside doesn't warrant a sit-down again.
