Chicken King Express - Mediterranean Near Me - Monrovia, California

Very bad service the cashier was very rude and didn't acknowledge me or my family and she was very rude to other customers there to order so we ended up just leaving so disappointed. read more

Food service and ambiance is amazing, food is well prepared and delicious Everything on the is great, I'll recommend everyone to try different plate so you'll know what I mean read more

I used to LOVE this place and would come here on a weekly basis. My go to was their beef lule kebab. It used to be so flavorful, tender, and juicy; however, the last three times (giving them the benefit of the doubt) were disappointingly dry and lacked much flavor. I tried emailing them to inquire if they changed the recipe or owners but they never replied. So disappointing to see this place go downhill read more

I ordered from their catering menu for 10 people last Saturday night, gave them advance notice of my order, the food is overall excellent. I ordered the chicken and beef kebab and it came with rice, salad, hummus, egg plant dip, sarma (stuffed grape leaves) cheese boreg, garlic paste and bread. Everything was super delicious and my guests were very impressed. I definitely recommend this place and will definitely use them again especially with upcoming holidays. The beef and chicken kebab is super delicious as well as all that it came with. read more

Had a takeout plate last week from this place since I was craving Mediterranean. I liked the beef kabob the most, was not fan of the chicken. The lule chicken and beef kabob was not good, it was dry and was falling apart. Also did not like the hummus. Rice was ok. Prices are high for the quality of the food I didn't get lol The search continues for an overall good Mediterranean place! read more

I love this family run business the service is great. As for the ambiance its more of a take-out place. They have some seating, but your not coming here for a birthday dinner. The food is good, but the home made baklava is CRAZY DELICIOUS. Just order early or there wont be any left. read more

I've driven by CKE many times in the past several years but never thought to check them out. With this name, I always thought it was one of those fast food places with precooked foods sitting under a lamp, like Panda Express. I recently found out they're not. It's actually a family owned Mediterranean restaurant. We ordered lunch for the family, so the Kebab Family Meal sounded like a good way to go. It came with the 2 skewers of chicken, beef and lule (which is like seasoned ground meat) The order came with a generous portion of fragrant rice, puta and hummus, and a green salad. Their house dressing is mild and has good flavor, but had trouble sticking in to the greens. It's probably better to dip the veggies in it instead of pouring it on top. $51.95 The chicken and beef both had nice charred edges and a subtle smoky flavor. They were not an tender as I had hoped but still pretty good flavor. The lule were full of exotic seasonings and equally good. The rice complimented the protein nicely. And use their garlic paste for a slight bump in flavor. I also got a roasted chicken wrap. Shredded flavorful chicken meat with lettuce and seasoning. Pretty good and a decent size to fill you up but not stuff you like a burrito. $8.95 The service was very friendly. The younger owner was energetic and welcoming. There are some tables inside and for a 15 yr old establishment, their decor is pretty updated. It's nice to have a family owned Mediterranean place in this area without having to drive to Glendale. Perhaps we might be back for their upcoming daily specials (according to their website) read more

Great food but a strange guy who is not wanting to answer the phone talking orders, what's up with that? The used to have better staff

I went to eat there, and it was the most hottest restaurant I went to, they dont turn on the ac, if you plan to eat here, think twice, and do take out, and eat at your home with AC on. read more

I've been here several times and the food and service are always great! The chicken is always flavorful and never dry. The portions are perfect and the prices match the quality! read more

Chicken King Express - Chicken Kebab Wrap Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Monrovia, California

The chicken kabobs were awesome and flavorful. The hummus is good too. The rice needs some work but overall healthy option for lunch

For many years now, we've been going to Chicken King. Always delicious, always friendly, and FAST. EVERYTHING is tasty, but we really like getting the family meal, whole chicken. We will stay loyal customers as long as their doors are open. Thank you, Chicken King...we love you read more

Hail to the king! Chicken King Express is probably the best Mediterranean restaurant in town. We love getting their kebab plates: Chicken, beef, and beef lule are our favorite types of kebabs. Each one is grilled to smokey perfection and served on a bed of seasoned rice. The rice that comes with their combos is very flavorful--I could eat a whole plate of rice by itself! A plate also comes with pita bread, hummus, spicy sauce, salad, and garlic spread. It's a ton of great food at a good price. We're also fond of their rotisserie chicken, with its delicious and succulent dark meat, tender and juicy white meat, and skin that's packed with flavor! I mean, they are the chicken kings, after all, so it makes sense that their chicken is superb! If your only exposure to Mediterranean food is Zankou Chicken, I would suggest trying Chicken King Express because this place blows that fast food chain out of the water. Their food is awesome, and they are super friendly and welcoming, so it's no surprise they've been in business for 15 years! read more

Food was decent. We ordered the white meat chicken breast and beef kabob. Both were just ok in flavor. The rice was also just ok. The hummus was the best tasting item, and I'm not a huge hummus fan. The establishment does not have a restroom. Service was fast. There wasn't any AC running and it was a very hot day, just fans inside. read more

Yelp brought me here and I ordered 2 lunch Chicken Kebab plates that each come with rice, salad, garlic paste, & hummus.  Everything was delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy plus the rice was super flavorful.  For the lunch price I think you get half the chicken of what you normally get, so I had so much rice left! I was definitely craving for more chicken! I love how their garlic paste will not keep the vampires away after eating it. lol I will have to come back and order the full entree size and try other items too. read more

I've passed by here a couple times and finally got a chance to try it and let me tell you it was delicious. The ribs were meaty and soft, chicken was tender and tasty and the lamb chops were so good. The owner was so nice and kind. Definitely coming back here again! Thank you read more

I love this place. My go-to is the Fattoush salad (so zesty and fresh) with a chicken kabob skewer on the side to eat on top of it. A small size is good enough for 1 person. The secret is when you order a side of chicken kebab, they package the chicken on top of a piece of pita that soaks up all the chicken juices and tastes like Heaven!! My husbands go-to is the beef kebab which is also great. Love the garlic sauce on the side, love the rice, love the hummus. The hubby and I have ordered dinner from here various times. Employees are great and we love that it's family owned. If you call in an order they'll cook it fresh and can have it ready in about 20 mins depending how busy they are. read more

The restaurant is in a small plaza off of Foothill. Small parking lot but I found parking. I had called in the order beforehand for takeout. Order was ready in about 20 minutes. I tried the king combo and lule wrap. The king combo included the chicken kebob, beef kebob and lule along with rice, salad, hummus and pita. Tasted delicious except the rice. I prefer fluffier rice and theirs is more on the wet side but everything else was tasty. The lule wrap was great! read more

Food is very consistent and service is always friendly. There isn't much to the ambience as I tend to think of this as a take out or quick place for a bite. Having said that, it's clean and there are indoor and outdoor tables. If you want Mediterranean inspired food, quick service and moderate prices, the quality can't be beat. read more

King Combo plate $34.95 is not worth it. It comes with 1 cup green salad 2 tablespoons hummus2 cups of non-basmati rice that tasted like Chinese rice,, 2 lule, 4 chunks chicken breast dressings and 4 chunks of beef. read more

A+ service, A+ food, A+ freshness. Can't ask for more! They're always busy now, and for good reason.

One of our favorite places for Mediterranean food. You cannot go wrong with any of their food offerings. Always love the falafel and their homemade hummus. The homemade hummus has that classic hummus taste without it being sour like what you find in store bought hummus. The hummus tasted fresh and clean. The pickled turnips are a must and they add in the yellow chilies to give it a kick. The steak and chicken kabob are always juicy, savory, and they have that flame grilled charred flavor. Online ordering is a breeze and pickup was easy. The person behind the counter is always nice. The dude even seems like he has a chill vibe and he always have some sort of soccer game on the television. Will definitely come back for our Mediterranean fix. read more

Ordered from them tonight and it was so delicious!! We got the family plate and it came with various meats and rice and salad and hummus and pita!! The rice was aromatic and so yummy! The meats cooked to perfection! Hummus and pita~ the best ever!! The gentleman that took our order was very friendly and kind!! Plenty of parking and definitely worth it!! First time coming in and we will come back again and again!! Thank you Chicken King! read more

Disclaimer: first time here and I was looking at an old menu with old prices before ordering in person. I like to support small businesses as much as possible given the current climate. And, I had a coupon which compelled me to try this place. In no way is this a negative review. Simply an honest one given that money is tight for some people. I ordered the family meal for numbers 1 and 2. The prices compared to other Mediterranean places is fairly high with respect to what I got for each of the family meals and the taste. Close to $43 for a whole chicken, rice, salad, pitas, etc. IMHO, I could've bought each of these items separately at a grocery store for less money. Close to $50 for a full rack of ribs and some sides. Way too much for what it is. I noticed that the menu and marketing materials throughout the restaurant were updated since what was in store was different than what is on Yelp. Maybe a "changing of the guard" in terms of business? Possibly. Just my thoughts. read more

I am kind of on the fence with this place. I called at 11:45 no answer because they are busy due to lunch hour. Understandable, but not answering your phone not only causes you to loose business but shows you cant handle food orders. The guy at registered super overwhelmed, and asked to-go or here? I said to-go, keeps telling me one second. He takes my order, I'm waiting for my food he says 15 min. If you're in a rush for lunch, might want to call ahead. Based off first impression, not the best. Also, I asked for restroom said no public restroom. Which is crazy to me when a customer is spending $18.00 on one meal. Food: chicken Kebab plate. Chicken really good, I asked for my chicken to be more charbroiled. Rice is okay, nothing special. Hummus is good, do not like how they put tons of cumin on top. Next time I would say no cumin. The salad had way too many purple onion. You cannot see it in the picture but under the greens it was all purple onion. Dressing for salad is a no. I probably won't return, it's a 5/10. read more

Chicken King Express - Too much cumin in the hummus and purple onion in the salad was very overwhelming. Chicken was the best thing - Mediterranean Near Me - Monrovia, California

Tried this place due to the multiple great reviews. However, chicken was too salty and rice tasted like boxed rice, maybe rice a roni? The chicken was pretty good though, nice charbroiled taste, but again a bit too salty. Salad and dressing very tasty. Hummus not bad. Garlic good, but to compare, Zankhou garlic is the best. Overall tasty. read more

Yum, yum, yum!!!!!! Tried this new place and it's so healthy and delicious. The chicken and meat were tender and juicy. Must try ! read more
