They have falafel sandwich only and the guy will ask if you want spicy or not. We ended up getting spicy, OMG I LOVE IT. The flavor is there and the ratio of veggie and falafel prefect. The price is reasonable and the food come out quick. Would come back again and recommend to family and friend.

It was kind of small but had three tables for dining in. The food was AMAZING! I got the mixed chicken plate. I could taste the charbroil grilled flavor. It was so robust. The lightly drenched lemon herb dressing over the salad was also tasty. I didn't care for the white sauce. It taste like a peanut butter smoothie. Finally to the service. It wasn't bad but I was made to feel a little uneasy and unwelcome. It felt like the cashier was "forcing" himself to be pleasant. I felt a little rushed to place my order. When I asked about certain menu items, he pointed to pictures rather than giving an explanation. Besides that, I wished the combos came with a drink. It was a bit pricey.

If you have never had middle eastern cuisine before then you're missing something that the taste…read morebuds will definitely enjoy and what is it you're wondering. It's shawarma and the authentic taste of what comes together in an explosion of taste and flavor is undoubtedly delicious when you walk into the shawarma king your nose signals to the brain to get your taste buds ready if you're not already salivating over the smell. But once you've taken a bite you'll definitely come back for more and you will not be disappointed i have told plenty of foodies that are looking for something different besides the typical burger and pizza, so give shawarma king and your taste buds will appreciate it

Unlike most of the reviewers here, I never knew this place when it was new and wonderful…read more I only know it for what it is now: Middle Eastern Chipotle So I started with low expectations. I just wanted (somewhat) healthy take-out with decent flavor, that I could order ahead. I ordered a build-your-own chicken shawarma plate, with hummus and couscous. As noted in the reviews here, they give you very little chicken, so I made sure to order double chicken. It was really good. Flavorful fresh chicken, lightly seasoned couscous. The hummus didn't have much flavor but otherwise everything was yummy. Also ordered the two-pack side of falafel. Looked burnt but actually just right, tons of flavor. Everything was ready right when it was promised. Easy pickup. Tons of parking. Strong review from me but I acknowledge that I don't have the burden of remembering them from the days when they were truly special.

I should have written this a few years ago, I was just going to let it go.. but it really bothered…read moreme that my 5 star review was here but no longer accurate. They were starting to go down just before Covid.. and then Covid just about killed them. I thought they may never open again.. so I was glad when they did.. and then I was disappointed. Those strangely sticky tables were still there but the fresh food was gone. Used to be fresh soft pitas everyday.. it was a source of pride for the restaurants. Also, they would slice the meat continuously so that it wasn't sitting around (cool automatic slicing cut it directly from the spit) Now it's a mediocre middle eastern Chipotle styled place serving warmed over food. Such a disappointment. Over 100 visits to Naf Naf and suddenly... I'm done. Been enjoying trying other places, but I miss the old Naf Naf.. the good..no.. the great one.
