Schawarma King food stand in the middle of Malmö's Stortorget (main square) caught my eye because it served falafel and shawarma...and pizza and ice cream. The 50 SEL (about $5) price also pulled me there. I had no idea that Lebanese immigrants brought falafel to Malmö in the 1980s and it has since become a favorite food all over the city.
The woman cashier couldn't speak much English and I speak zero Swedish. So after I paid for everything I figured I bought double what I ordered. Luckily the guy there was able to re-ring my order.
My lamb schawarma sandwich was good! Lots of meat, well spiced. Their delicious secret sauce oozed out of my "cone." I washed everything down with Coke Light.
There are a few outdoor tables to sit and eat if you can find an empty one. I noticed people that didn't order at Schawarma King were hogging tables eating their own food. read more
