Best Middle-Eastern grub in Provo! (Out of two and a half places). King Kebab is a surprising find in the Provo Mall's food court. You unfortunately don't see many family-owned places in malls, but it makes sense when you think about it: lower overhead, a relatively predictable stream of potential customers, etc. King Kebab is certainly the best option for food here. Skip the Johnny Rockets and Panda Express and make a beeline here. The menu is simple, with few options. It's not the traditional versions of what you'll find in Beirut, but closer to New York's street food carts (you know the one). I ordered the beef-lamb shawarma sans fries (yes, they normally throw in fries California-burrito-style). The meat has been layered onto a vertical roasting spit (like what you see with al pastor), and when you order they shave the sizzling outer layer of the meat for your pita. They layer it with veggies, harissa, and garlic "shawarma sauce" in a warm pita. The end result is a huge Lebanese taco--big enough that I was debating between making it one or two meals. If you get double meat, it's definitely enough to split between two people. Overall, I was pleased. The meat actually ranked pretty low in my shawarma experience. While the preparation was legit, the cuts seemed quite lean and the meat overall underseasoned in comparison to what I've had in my travels. I recall enjoying the meat far at the Greek n Go gyros truck on Canyon in Provo, but that may be due to my preference for 100% lamb. The garlic sauce, though, is great. This is reminiscent of what you'll get at Halal Guys and is nearly addicting. It brought back some happy foodie memories. The pita was surprisingly good. I don't believe it's made in-house, and they warm it up in the microwave, but I was not disappointed. This, for me, is a comfort food: grub that reminds me of home. Given that measuring stick, of course it's going to be hard to compare to what I associate with happy memories, but I can say this: King Kebab sure could do a lot worse. It's a surprising gem in Provo and one I definitely expect to return to. read more

I bought my first gyro expecting overpriced, average mall food. I was pleasantly surprised, the portions for the price are phenomenal and the food is extremely tasty. read more

I currently live in a place that has no Greek food, so I was very happy to be close to a place with such great reviews. The staff here is very friendly, helpful, and polite. It is very easy to understand what you are ordering. The shawarma was exactly what I was looking for. Having lived in LA and visited all over the world, I have grown to love a good shawarma and I have learned to appreciate so many different takes on this. I will say that the the shawarma here is lacking almost all lamb mixed in, and there isn't much in the way of meat. This shawarma is mostly vegetables and French fries. I will also add that you do have to add their take on tzatziki. There may have been a little sauce in there but much too little for my taste. The fries were bold and tasty, which is nice. All in all, this place is an option when you are in this area, not an amazing option but a decent option. read more

Shockingly good middle eastern food in a mall food court. SMDH. But it works. Everything is cooked fresh and the offerings are perfect for a grab-&-go or ... if you have the time, please just sit down at one of the many tables that are usually available and just do some people-watching. This is some of the best you'll see anywhere. The chicken Schwarma is just plain delicious. Toppings are plentiful, if not fully traditional. French fries, dill pickles, banana pepper rings, cabbage, and more. The sauces are good, too. The tzaziki is made on the premises, as is the spicy red sauce. Not very spicy, but good flavor. The pita is very tasty. Great counter service. I usually go during the less busy times so I typically visit with the owner who is usually there. He's very personable and has always been happy to answer all of my annoying food questions. I crave the food here. And I'm usually willing to be sucked into the belly of the mall to get it...which should tell you something. read more

King Kebab - Chicken Schwarma. So so good. - Mediterranean Near Me - Provo, Utah

I get the Greek Salad. It takes forever, and they don't have that many employees, but the people there are always nice and the salad is pretty great. There aren't ton of Mediterranean restaurants around here so I'll take what I can get. read more

This place is awesome. Been going here for about 6 months now at least 2-3x per month. The lamb and beef shawarma is fresh and the meat is super tender and juicy. The owners are there all the time and always treat us well. Would recommend to anybody. read more

Summary: The other night, I had a hankering for Falafel. I did a quick Yelp search, saw all the great reviews on this place, and gave it a shot. Unfortunately I was not quite as taken with it as many others seem to be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The atmosphere (3 stars) - the establishment is clean and well organized, but it is in the middle of a food court, which does not make it come top of mind when thinking about the overall vibe of the place. The food (3 stars) - As I said, I had a major hankering for some Falafel. So, both the wife and I each got a Falafel sandwich, and some street cart fries. Unfortunately the Falafel was frozen to begin with wich did not quite fulfill my Falafel needs. The rest of the ingredients seemed fresh, but just not quite on par with what I was expecting. Service (5 stars) - The owner of the restaurant was so nice and friendly. She gave us a free during to make up for the wait, and did everything she could to make sure that we were taken care of. Value (3 stars) - The price is fair for both the quality and quantity of food you receive. Would I go back? - Yes. If I am ever at that mall waiting for a movie I would love to give their Shawarma a shot. read more

As good as it gets if you are south of 33000 S in SLC until you hit Vegas! This little gem in Provo Towne Centre is great. The menu is small, but packs a lot of flavor! I've had everything on the menu, and I can't help but rave about all of it. The staff is a friendly family from Romania, and they remember anyone who is a loyal customer. read more

Food was dried out and obviously cooked days ago. I won't be back, unfortunately. I was looking forward to it.

So glad I visited this place today. There were great yelp reviews so I had to check it out. I was greeted very nicely by the owner. I asked if she likes the chicken or the lamb and beef. She gave me a sample to try. They were both tasty and I decided to go with the lamb and beef Shwarma wrap today. It was amazing! The deep flavors of the meat really came out. Mix that with the cool yogurt sauce and veggies. BAM! It was the perfect balance of intense and subtle but cool flavor. Then the red spicy sauce kicked in and it made it even more delicious. I will definitely be back next time for the chicken. I also asked the owner what she thought about infusing Korean and Mediterranean flavors. She just smiled. Hmmmm... maybe a special menu in the future? It will be the first! read more

King Kebab - Lamb and Beef Shwarma wrap. Huge, delicious and filling! - Mediterranean Near Me - Provo, Utah

King kebab came highly recommended by some friends and to be honest I wasn't that impressed unfortunately. The best thing about my schwarma was the chicken. It was cooked to perfection and had a delicious marinade on it. So good on them for doing this right. It was also hot and fresh which added to the deliciousness of the chicken. Besides that the toppings and everything else was just meh. It had potatoes in it, and they were the most basic, simple, cold French fries. Yum! (NOT) So that was my experience. Also, the lady serving me asked if what spice level I wanted (thank you) but didn't ask about the other white sauce. She proceeded to drown my schwarma in that sauce. Wish she would have asked. Probably won't be back to be honest. read more

This place is AMAZING. I am a customer for life now. It is so so so worth the trip down to Provo Town Center. The owner is amazing and so nice. The king kebab AND the shawarma are so so good. You can't go wrong. Honestly, I'm so impressed... This place deserves to have its own restaurant outside the food court. read more

A jewel in a food court. Owner Kyunghee Young is phenomenally nice: she went out of her way to accommodate our order of a lamb gyro (pictured), lamb shawarma, and french fries. All were good. I especially liked her homemade sauces (white yogurt, red spicy, and fry). Until The Halal Guys come to Utah from the streets of NYC, King Kebab will be a favorite alternative. read more

Simply bland. I could only eat half. Completely and totally disappointed based on the reviews. Who knows, maybe they just happened to leave out ALL the seasoning in mine? read more

I bought the Beef/lamb gyro with the spicy and taziki sauce. It was delicious! Plenty of meat. The owner was very kind. Im definitly coming back! read more

We stopped off here on our way to California. I had the beef and lamb shawarma and it hit the spot. I loved all of the toppings you can add, plus it came with french fries inside. The sweet potato fries and fry sauce were delicious. The hummus was also tasty. The cherry on top was that the owner was so nice and helpful! read more

One of my favorite restaurants all-time! This is Provo's best restaurant and is 5 STAR all the way. Located in the food court of the Provo Towne Center Mall. Owner, Kyunghee Young is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She makes every effort to ensure you are enjoying your meal and having a good day overall. I ordered (both times I've been here) the Shawarma with Lamb/Beef and all of the trimmings. Everything was so good! All sauces are made in-house (white yogurt, red spicy, fry sauce, and more). Young also gave me sample the King Kebab French Fries. They are topped with their house special fry sauce (made up of 15 different ingredients!) and feta cheese. These were incredible!!! I will be back here every time I go to Provo! Thank you for the great chat today Kyunghee! It was great to chat with you and my wife loved the Shawarma I took home for her. We will see you soon! read more

King Kebab - Shawarma - Lamb/Beef. AMAZING! - Mediterranean Near Me - Provo, Utah

The poor rubes in line for their syrupy panda don't know any better I suppose. We had amazing personal service like I've never had at a mall restaurant before. We sampled the chicken and lamb/beef shawarma and couldn't pick a favorite--they were both that good! I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm at the mall. The very best restaurant of Provo town center. read more

Run by the nicest couple on the planet, and tasty shawarmas and street fries. Has been on my regular rotation for the past few years and always the food is on point. read more

The food was excellent and so was the service. What I didn't know from looking at Yelp is that King Kebab is in the Mall's food court. We ate there on Labor Day, so that wasn't a problem. There were plenty of empty tables. If the Mall food court isn't your thing, please take that into consideration. If you are looking for delicious Mediterranean Food at very reasonable prices, this is your place! read more

The best shawarma and salad on earth, and maybe beyond. The flavors serenade your happy taste buds with a holy chorus. The salad is compiled of the freshest ingredients; the dressing is a mix of 5 different dressings they put together for you when you order. I wish we could have tried more of their menu items, but were just passing through Provo. This place is a serious contender for the best NYC or San Francisco eateries, although its food court location makes it very easy to overlook and dismiss. Do not let that deter you, try it. You're welcome. read more

My husband and I love this place it's the best place to eat in the Provo mall. Friendly staff and great food!!!

I was hesitant to eat here because of the location. The food court at the Provo town center? But don't let the location deceive you! This food was fantastic and the service was out of this world for being a food court find. This is just 3 minutes from my office so I will be eating here frequently, especially because the price was affordable and the food filling. The menu was simple so I didn't feel overwhelmed and the gyro I ordered didn't fall apart as I ate It. They didn't skimp on meet or toppings either which is always a HUGE bonus. My husband and i both ate for under $15 and we left full! Would definitely recommend eating here. read more

I've been betrayed by 90% of gyro restaurants. They usually sell me nasty gyros, but King Kebab has saved us all!! One of the best gyros I've ever had!!! They truly are the gracious King that graciously rules over this land. God bless you Kin Kebab. read more

Great food, awesome service! The falafels are great, nice and crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. Sauces are good, food is made fresh and served hot. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when i found this place. I love gyros. And King Kebab did not disappoint. I've never had the schwarma but I look forward to coming back to try it. PRICE: It really wasn't unreasonable. All I got was a gyro and it was less than 8 bucks. And it was huge. ATMOSPHERE: It's located in a mall food court. So it's what you would expect from a food court. Tables were clean. FOOD: I got a traditional gyro. What makes this place unique is that it is set up so you can create your own gyro or schwarma wrap by choosing which ingredients you like. Kind of like subway, but with Mediterranean food. The meat was quality. They have two huge things of meat rotating on skewers that they shave slices off of right in front of you. And the lamb is soooooo tasty. They have various sauces as well. SERVICE: There was only one lady working and she was extremely friendly and helpful when I was trying to decide. Super fast service as well. I really liked this place. read more

I love mixed meat kabab or the street fries. Definitely worth a trip to the mall. Service is good and quick. Stop in before you go to the movies! read more

I LOVE gyros and order them often. This is, BY FAR, the BEST gyro and tzatziki sauce that I have ever had. I always order extra meat and extra sauce. And it feels so healthy because they offer fresh spring mix with it. On top of that, they have THE BEST FRY SAUCE IN THE VALLEY!! Be sure to try the new house fries. You will be so glad that you did!! They also offer gluten free!! read more

King Kebab - I may go over-board on the sauce :) but it is the best! - Mediterranean Near Me - Provo, Utah

5 stars for a place in the FOODCOURT?! Thought these people were crazy.. sweet Asian woman that was working was such a treat we didn't need dessert :D The Shwarma was extremely good. Loved the homemade sauces, especially the sauce that's on the King Kebab fries!! OMG that sauce could make anything taste delicious. I rate things based on what they are, and for a foodcourt this place is out of this world, I would come across town just for the excellent service. 5 STARS!! read more

Was craving a gyro and was a little skeptical of mall food! They were incredibly pleasant and we walked through the whole process. Also - our guy accidentally dropped one falafel and made sure he ran another one out to us. Awesome experience! read more

King Kebab - lamb and beef gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Provo, Utah

I love King Kebab. One night I was making the arduous journey from Salt Lake City to Fillmore and it was dinner time. I pulled into Provo Towne Center and wandered a few laps around the food court, knowing I wanted something fast but nothing more specific. The gentleman working there noticed me eyeing his menu and, unlike a typical fast food place where employees are silently praying you'll go away, saw my confusion and offered to make a special shawarma. I had no idea what that meant, but thought it best to trust the guy. It was a good choice and my only regret is that I don't remember what he called it so I will probably never have that particular wrap again. Every time I am passing by Provo around a meal time, this is where I go. I have even put off lunch for hours because I knew I would be going by Provo soon and wanted a good appetite. It is not just the food that makes me return, but the friendly service. I am a service snob who would tolerate mediocre food if the atmosphere and staff are pleasant. I will even swear off the best food I've ever had over repeated bad service. The same man is there every time I go (and a nice lady too, but she has only ever rung up my order; I've seen her making food) and it is like seeing an old friend every time. He asks how work is going, how my family is, and says it's nice to see me again. I know there is a very slim chance that he actually remembers me for as little as I am in the area, but it makes me feel like I've left a mall and sat down at his dinner table. Here's the biggest thing: King Kebab has it figured out. You walk up to the counter, they treat you like family, make the experience special, and their food is (without any other shawarma experience to compare) absolutely phenomenal. If they opened a storefront outside the mall I would gladly pay $15-$20 for a shawarma because it's just that good and you get a very rare level of service to boot. read more

We were in the mood for something different and so after the traditional Friday evening "where to you want to eat?" "I don't care, where do you want to eat?" Volley, I got tired of that and went to yelp, I read the reviews and decided to hit it up. I grew up raising sheep and and have never been a fan of lamb, so seeing the meat was lamb and beef, I was scared. I didn't need to be, it was *DELICIOUS*! One of the best dinners we've had in a long time. I got the schwarma, and my wife got the gyro. We both thought ours was the best. The schwarma has more meat in in, with fricking french fries, which are awesome, and the gyros have a little bit more vegetables in them. too many vegetables is bad for you so I recommend the schwarma. I was shocked that a place in a food court was that good, and I couldn't believe all the people at Panda Express while there was just a few at King Kebab. I went and recruited as many as I could out of the panda express line. Don't get me wrong, panda express is good, I love it, but this is a step up and something different. The meat was seasoned perfectly, the white sauce and spicy sauce has a great flavor and is not super hot. I highly recommend it. The other thing is they are SUPER clean. Every time I eat out the people seem like it doesn't matter how clean they are. At the Panda express as I was ordering, a five year old was standing right on the counter in shoes that I'm sure have been in a hundred restrooms and everywhere else. At King Kebab, the owner came out from the back, and right on the back wall is a sink and hospital grand sanitation soap, he scrubbed up like a surgeon and then got to work. I saw the lady wash her hands twice just making our wraps. As a an OCD moron, I took much comfort in how clean they were. Make sure you try them out, You will NOT be sorry. read more

Lamb & beef shawarma wrap is delicious, it's packed with vegetables, creamy yogurt and spicy sauces, and with fries inside. Get it with double meat, and make it a whole meal in one wrap. read more

We are driving through town and I convince my husband to stop at the mall. He was not very happy about it.... luckily the food was amazing! We eat Mediterranean all the time and this was top notch!!!!!!! Road trip TREAT! read more

I make it a point to come here and get some shawarma whenever I'm around this area of Provo (and I might just make it a point to be around this area so I'm "forced" to get some shawarma). The stuff is good. It reminds me of all the kebab places throughout Europe (and it tastes better than a lot of those did). The spicy sauce isn't that spicy, imho. Just an FYI, not a complaint. read more

I don't know why anyone would go anywhere else in this food court. The wrap has a crisp texture, lamb is moist, mixture of flavors to create the color festival on your palette. The sauces are unique and tasty. My wife likes the fries inside but I think that would be the only thing I would hold. I'll be back read more

Is this place really in the mall? Maybe I didn't expect much since it's in the mall but I was pleasantly surprised. Got the gyro combo. It was excellent! They have a slightly spicy sauce that really adds to the tzatziki. The whole thing wasn't thrown together as you would expect. They lay it out nicely with fresh ingredients and make it presentable. Staff is very friendly. Worth the 10 bucks for sure! read more

Foods too good for the food court it's in, almost went to panda next door but he roped me in with a sample and I was hooked. I assume it was the owner that was serving us cause he was super passionate about his product and explaining it, just super passionate about his food in general, takes pride in his business. Give it a try, especially if it's movie night- its right by the cinemas! read more

After watching The Avengers, I was curious what shawarma was. So I was pleasantly surprised when walking through the mall to find this gem. The owner was polite and gave me a sample to pull me in. The meat was seasoned beautifully. The flavored of the sauces mingled perfectly with the vegetables and meat in the wrap. I got some baklava as a dessert. Sweet, salty, and nutty, it was the perfect accompaniment to the delicious shawarma wrap. I'll definitely be going back to this gem in the mall food court. read more
