A solid Schwarma shop! We ordered and waited- it didn't take long. Food was nice and hot- and seeing size plentiful.

Shawarma Mixed Plate
Aleena V.

I've only ever gotten take out and it's always been great! This most recent time I got the mixed platter with beef and chicken swarma. This came with hummus, pita bread, rice and salad (which I didn't want) but i was pleasantly surprised and even had leftovers for lunch! Food was great and came pretty fast! LOVE how they are open on the later side!

Pin found in our Large mixed shawarma portion

During my time in Milwaukee I have frequented this place, however, my last two experiences with takeout have been jarring to say the least. Last time, my cucumber salad side had a foul stench and appeared to be spoiled. In this most recent order, as pictured, my girlfriend bit into a pin when trying to eat rice and chicken. Luckily she spit out what she thought was a bone and was traumatized to see that she had actually narrowly avoided swallowing a metal pin. We will not be dining here again.

Absolutely delicious! I had just arrived to Milwaukee on a Friday and needed a late lunch after arriving to my friend's airb&b unit. They weren't home and I didn't have anything to make, so I quickly find this place on Yelp, called them up, and placed a takeout order! It was ready within 5 minutes and the food was just absolutely yummy. I love shawarma and middle eastern in general so I already knew what to expect, but the cut up pieces of this wrapped sandwich with consistent dips of the white sauce, the hot sauce (I asked for on the side) and some of the pickles really made each bite very enjoyable. No joke - I want this place to exist near me in Chicago. Very unassuming place from the outside in Riverwest, but definitely try it out.

Cheap eats that are delicious are what I will recall from Shawarma King. The service is fast. They seem to cater more to take-out, but there is a counter for those of us who just stop in for a fast bite. I loved their pita and cheese, and my friend's wrap meal was massive.

Hair in rice that the restaurant refused to apologize for.
Nonya D.

Ordered food from this establishment multiple times, receiving pretty OK food. Food was never particularly notable; it was simply sufficient for when I craved Middle Eastern food. Today, I ordered a good amount of food, only to find hair in my food. When I called the restaurant to explain that I found hair (not mine; it was light while mine is darker) in my rice, I was met with a rude person who couldn't even do the bare minimum and apologize for the disgusting lack of basic quality control. Absolutely disgusting, both in terms of quality control and lack of basic customer service.

Happily (so happy!) stand corrected. I love it when I return to a place and find it has improved! I was a bit disappointed with this place the first time I visited, because all the reviews were SO awesome, but I had that problem with dry beef and tad under seasoning. Then we picked up on a Saturday afternoon for an early dinner, and they really wowed me. It was like they had a different chef. The rice and hummus perfectly packed with flavor, and not missing that 2% I couldn't pin point to last time. Salad was still boring, but that's ok. It went perfectly well with everything else that was super flavorful. Pita not sure why this tasted better than last time, but it was like it was more fresh? Maybe I just went on a bad day last time, and it was a day older or something. I might just stick to going on Saturdays from now on :) Chicken & Beef Shawarma So my problem last time was the beef being on the dry side, and this wasn't completely resolved. Both the chicken and beef shawarma were leaning towards dry, but still quite yummy. Would I order again? I would if they didn't have the grill items I will talk about next, but since they do, I'll probably not get the shawarma. Oh, and the portions on the mixed plate was not as great as when we had just the beef shawarma. Beef Shish Kabob The mixed grill plate came with 4 pieces of beef cubes (this must be 1 skewer, but they were packed without a skewer). These were hubby's favorite. The lamb chops were this good too. Beef Kafta Kabob The mixed grill came with 1 long piece that looked kind of like a breakfast sausage link. These were my favorite. Had great flavors, and super juicy. Chicken shish Tawook One skewer had 4 chicken chunks. Their menu says "grilled to perfection" and they're right. Boast away Shawarma King! It's easy to get chicken breast overcooked and dry, but unlike the shawarma, these were juicy and marinated just right for our tastebuds. Next time I order, I'll be totally undecided between the beef shish kabob, kofta kabob and the chicken tawook. Yes, I can just get the mixed grill again, but getting them in separate plates is so much cheaper... lol Oh, and as to the portions. We were totally happy to just share the rice and hummus from one plate. We each had our portions of the side salad. So we had a whole container of rice and most of the shawarma as leftovers for lunch, and it fed us both again. Previous review: ----------------------------- This joint has somehow escaped our notice for all these years... But we're so happy we found it! Overall, portions are super generous, and the food is good. Compared to similar restaurants, the food is less salty, but still quite flavorful. It feels more like home because of the less sodium. This was the first time in a LOOONG time that I regretted getting the 6 pieces of falafel. I wanted more. So far, hands down the best falafels in Milwaukee. Rice is not as packed with flavor as other places, but still really good and aromatic. Same goes for the hummus. Salad was boring. Pita bread was ok. Beef shawarma had heaping portions, but was on the dry side. I'm being picky though. I'd get it again. The lamb chops were delicious and right on moist. It's 5 stars except for the dryness of the beef... which I'd cross my fingers and try again, and I have a feeling it will be better next time.

Chicken Shawarma Wrap Arayes Cheese Baklava
Zefira C.

maybe this is more of a review of whoever was working tonight , but:... badically we didnt get sauces or the correct drink, and was still charged for it. the shwarma was the worst constructed shwarm ive ever bought. and the baklava was mid. Oy :( Not my best experience.

On the right is #36 mixed plate shawarma with beef and chicken. On the left is the Jerusalem salad.
Jenna W.

Fast service and great food with huge portions. The place was absolutely popping on a Saturday night. The mixed shawarma plate and Jerusalem salad were delicious. Every plate comes with rice, hummus, pita, cucumbers and tomatoes. There isn't much seating available inside so may be best to plan your food as a to-go order.

Chicken Shawarma Wrap

Absolutely the best shawarma I've ever had (and I've had a lot). Service was quick, portions were huge, and everything was so tasty! Also they gave us free hats. I mean, come on, how do you beat that??

Mixed plate: chicken, beef, yellow rice underneath meats, hummus pita bread with side order of onion rings

Great late-night food. Love the mushrooms Swiss burgers and the fries. They sometimes close at 1230 though, probably due to covid.

After about 10 minutes we noticed our server changed which is no big deal. Another 10 minutes goes by and we still did not receive the drinks. We said something to our new server and then about 5 minutes after that we got our drinks. We then ordered 1 appetizer and 4 entrees. After about 30 minutes we received 3 entrees and no appetizer. We were told it would be a few minutes for the last entree. In the span of 20 minutes afterwards, we mentioned twice to the server we are still waiting for the 4th entree. Then the last entree comes with the appetizer. One of the people in the party asks for silverware as none of us received any. The server then retrieved plastic utensils with a napkin that you would get from a food truck. We then asked if we could get real silverware The amount of money this place charges and they want to give plastic silverware. Casablanca did take off the late 4th entree but only because we mentioned it. Server didn't seem to care. She rarely checked up on us. We then get the bill. The bill says it adds gratuity for parties of 5 or more after 7. WE ARE A PARTY OF 4. What kind of scam is this place running. Horrendous service. Go somewhere else please

I heard positive things about this coffee shop and wanted to see for myself if it was worth it. The…read moreshort answer is yes! The location is on the east side, but we were able to find some street parking because we went early and there were metered parking spots nearby. The aesthetic of the place is modern and clean. I like the gold decor accents. It's a nice place to go and study or work as well. They have a variety of sweets in their display case. They even had Dubai chocolate that were Labubu shaped!! So creative! We got the cinnamon toast latte and banana matcha. Both were delicious, more on the sweet side, which I don't mind. They also have those trendy fruit mousses I've been seeing on social media. We decided to share one because it is a little pricey (12 bucks for one), but I know it is intricate to make. We got the mango mousse, and it was light and tasty. I enjoyed this coffee shop and will be back again!

I love coffee but I'm not familiar with much coffee wise American coffee. So many options and all tempting to try! I'm not really a fan of sweet drinks, so I have a lovely cold brew with cardamom and honey. I mentioned this to this to the barista who was very kind and suggested few options. I forgot to take a picture tragically , but they also have these lovely pastries and treats. Almost too beautiful to eat! I'll be back to explore more of this spots delightful drinks!
