Hello, Shawarma King, thank you for feeding me, you are delicious. Apparently they've been serving incredibly delicious and authentic Lebanese food to Arlington since 1984 but I hadn't eaten there until 2022...?! As my 4 year old niece would say (a million times a day), "What the heck?" I'm so happy to have finally eaten here and I envision many trips (and delivery orders) in the near and distant future. Our most recent meal included hummus with chicken shawarma, falafel, and the "king" gyro. You'll notice right away that all the food is colorful and vibrant. I come across lackluster tomato, onion, lettuce, and pickles all the time. Not here! The falafel were the perfect fluffy texture, cooked all the way through, and were super herbaceous. Jon thought the hummus was just slightly too tart and lemony, but that's why it might be my new favorite hummus... and Jon's gyro was beautiful, stuffed full with juicy meat, plus a side of piping hot fries. He said the pita was perfect. The interior is simple and cozy, clean and spacious. It smells delicious. Staff is friendly and fast. Your perfect family-owned, neighborhood Lebanese spot. Everything they serve is made fresh and from scratch in house. I think I'll go (or order) tomorrow.. read more

Simply put, this is the best Shawarma and hummus I've ever had. Imad and his lovely wife should be household names for their culinary skills. At the end of our meal we got into a conversation about the pickles he uses which reminded me of the pickles I had in my first Shawarma over 25 years ago. They clearly care so much about every detail of the food they serve. I wish I was local so I could eat here everyday. read more

This is probably the best gyro meat and halal beef I've ever had! I stopped being vegan today for this meal I was craving! (Ok I'm flexatarian!) but I got a shawarma bowl with beef and gyro meat and it was absolutely delicious! Somebodies grandma is in there really making delicacies and authentic Lebanese food! I saw her pouring oil myself so you know it's real! True family owned vibes and feel here! Highly recommend this place. The service is great and accommodating and the ambiance is true to the culture, every table had a different historic Lebanese landmark picture on it. Must try! I could easily become a regular if I lived closer! read more

a great shawarma place in Arlington! we decided to try this place in Arlington that serves Lebanese shawarma. It is run by an Lebanese couple. First off, the service was amazing. The owner (and chef!) and his wife are so sweet and they really care about their ingredients and what they're serving. The store is medium sized. It can fit multiple medium groups, but not a super huge group. They also offer happy hour from 2-4 kn their chicken shawarma sandwich on weekdays. They also do catering. We got the kibbeh, hummus, shish tawouk plate, beef shawarma, the special one sandwich, fries, beef burger, and baklava. We also tried their spicy sauce - the panther sauce. Okay, so straight up the shawarma is so delicious! You can taste the freshness in every bite and the beef meat is so juicy and tender! The special sandwich is a SK grill specialty in which he mixes two types of meat on a larger size of bread. Okay, for real y'all gotta go for the sandwiches/shawarmas. Their sauces, both the garlic and the panther sauce, were rich and perfect complement to the sandwiches and the fries. The kibbeh was also one of the better ones I've had. It wasn't crumbly, but it's crunchy and filled with meat inside. Hummus was fresh & baklava is a good option if you really want something sweet afterwards. Burger was okay. All in all, a great family owned restaurant where you can get really delicious, fresh shawarma from a chef who really cares about the food he serves. Definitely check this place out. read more

I was not happy with the visit to Shawarma King came at lunch they had a few people inside already. We order then a group of 7 or 8 came in. They only had 2 people working one taking orders the other making food orders. It took over 30 minutes to get our food. Too slow for a quick lunch. Maybe it was a bad day not sure but it did not make a good first impression. The food was fine nothing speciaI had a wrap I think it was the beef or chicken wrap not sure did not make a lasting impression on me. We also had hummus that was good but not enough to save the day. I was not a fan of the wrap maybe I just do not like Shawarma wraps. I would not go back they are too slow they can not handle it when they are a little busy. read more

Was looking for something quick to eat, but also finding something that was new in the area, well not necessarily new, because we just moved in the neighborhood. So we stumbled across this place right next to Kroger's grocery store. Thought to give it a try We were not disappointed. In fact, the proprietors were really friendly, and the food came out quickly. We started off with bubba ganoush which was great. It comes with a couple of fresh soft pitas Then for the main course we had the shawarma chicken and I had the King gyro Both were amazing and it comes with a side of fries. But we really didn't need the fries. But if you like crosscut fries, this is a good place to visit because they were actually tasty and lightly salted The chicken shawarma was wrapped very well. Good spices and tasted really good The gyro was amazing. Plenty of tzatziki sauce, and had a nice balance between the cooling of the cucumber and the tang of the onions. But I go back there again, yes of course we definitely will be. Plenty of parking. Easy to find. Just go if you're looking for some good shawarma or a gyros read more

Everything I've ordered from here has been delicious. Rice bowls, sandwiches, fries- all delicious and owners are very nice and friendly

What a Treat!! I stopped by my neighborhood grocery store and decided to fo next door and treat myself with falafel. I decided to not eat meat twice a week a while back, so this was perfect! Oh man, these falafel were probably the best I ever had Nice and hot, outside was crispy and they were full of flavor. Not to mention the sauce that came with.... delicious. I'm definitely coming back for dinner one day read more

Your run of the mill shwarma place. Nothing mind blowing. Kind of a small place but with nice staff. The shwarma were nice and full, but soggy because of all the sauce. The chicken shwarma was pretty good and I preferred it over the beef. For some reason the Gyro was disgusting which is weird because Gyro are never homemade so they are pretty consistent. I tasted sour like pepperoni. If I am in the area I would stop by for a chicken shwarma again, but it's not worth going out of the way for. There are plenty of other better shwarma places around. read more

I've been doing a little tour of Arlingtons Greek and Lebanese joints. Today I decided to try it Shawarma King, located in the Kroger shopping center. The area is run down, and if I had not seen them on Yelp, I wouldn't have noticed it. However, the interior was clean and the inside is far superior to the outside. I have been ordering the shish tawook sandwich everywhere I go, comparing everyone to the same dish. However, that might have been a poor choice. If something is the king of shawarma, you should probably order the shawarma. Maybe another time. The sandwich was good. It was freshly prepared and the smell hit me before anything else. The chicken was juicy and I am a fan of garlic sauce. The downside, for me, was the flavor of just the chicken. All together in the sandwich it blended well, but if you got a bite of chicken without the sauce, it was a little bitter and mostly just tasted of paprika. The woman behind the counter was friendly, but pulled her mask on and off, and the man in the kitchen wasn't wearing one at all. I've got to wear a mask all day at work too, they super suck. But you've gotta do it. I know a lot of independent places are struggling, and I am trying to support local. However, I feel much more inclined to go back to places that are keeping up on regulations. read more

Very nice staff. Tried the sujook appetizer and shawarma sandwich (beef and chicken). Wasn't a fan of the sujook but the sandwich itself was solid. Lot of meat and good balance of sauce and pickled veggies. Given the number of shawarma places in Arlington, I may come back here but I wouldn't drive out of my way to come here. read more

We were looking for a place to eat shawarma and found this place and it did not disappoint. We got the chicken shawarma and was absolutely delicious. We also got a soujuk sandwich which was really good, one of the best around the dfw area. Glad we tried them and we'll definitely go back! read more

Truly refreshing and amazing experience at this restaurant. The rice served here is unmatchable by many other restaurants as you can taste and smell the condensed flavor from it. The same thing is also true for the meats (i tried both chicken and beef) and their homemade sauce really made me feel like it was the first time i ever tried it. The owner is extremely nice and he will serve you quickly. read more

This is truly one of the best spots for some tasty Arabic food. Service is friendly, and the place is what you make of it, it has a family and respectful vibe. Tried many things on the menu this time. I believe my previous visit was just an odd one. read more

This place is one of the best very good food clean the owner is friendly fresh food. Go give a try

The customer service was OK, but food quality was a let down. I spent sometime in the Middle East and ate a lot of Swarma wraps. I was let down tremendously by the serving size and also taste. The sausage meat served in the wrap tasted under cooked. Came across like small sized burritos with little to no fillings. I was fed like a peasant, ending up giving the food to my dog. Grilling cold old meat on a grill and calling it Swarma is disturbing. read more

The owner wasn't kidding about being the Shawarma King! The owners are so kind and treated extremely well. I literally tried 1/3 of the menu . To my delight everything was so delicious! I'm from Iraq so I know what the flavors should be like, this place is spot on! I let my parents try it and they were extremely pleased. They said the owner really knows how to cook the authentic flavors of Lebanon. Extremely clean, friendly staff, and authentic flavors of Lebanon. I'm not sure what else to say, just go try it. read more

After spending a lot of time in the middle east I am a bit of a schwarma snob. This isn't the very best I have had but is an excellent schwarma. The owners are very nice folks and this is the best I have had state side by far. Will definitely visit again soon read more

The real shawarma kingg!!! best shawarma hands down & the people are really nice and generous!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND It was so good during lunch, had to go back and grab dinner lol read more

Very nice people, and quite patient. Cause the first time I was there I have never had a shawarma so I didn't what to get. Kept on thinking plate is the same as the sandwich combo of chicken shawarma. Their food is delicious and apple soda is good. I don't know the brand cause its in a dark green bottle. Try the falafel cause its really good! I order it every time now, and I'm no vegetarian. It's really good. Try it for yourself. read more

When it comes to ranking the local Middle Eastern Mediterranean joints in the area (which there are a lot), Shawarma King is near the top of the list. The beef shawarma is fantastic. The interior is a nice homage to Lebanon, the owner's country of origin, and offers a pleasant ambience. I, for example, upon entering the building to pay for my takeout, decided to stay once I realized just how nice the place was. Not to mention it was totally spotless! I highly recommend this humble restaurant, five out of five! read more

We ate a late lunch here today and it was delicious. The people working there were delightful and helpful, so friendly. I had a beef shawarma sandwich and my husband had a soujok sandwich (spicy sausage). They were both delicious, the spices were warm and interesting. We ordered a large order of french fries, which was more than enough for us both- they were hot and fresh, obviously cooked to order. We were impressed with the fresh of everything and the interesting menu, we will definitely be back to try more dishes. The prices were reasonable also. read more

The best GYRO in town. The best GYRO ! This family owned restaurant have you covered to leave happy and full and come again. Fries ? Good!!

We really enjoyed the Gyro Plate and the Chicken Plate. The hummus was also exceptional that day. It's a good family owned business and we'll definitely visit next time we're in the area. read more

I neither love the food or dislike it. It's never been bad. The employees are kind. I prefer their chicken shawarma.

Easily the best shawarma I've had in Arlington. I stopped by a while back to pick up a platter so I could enjoy the savory spiced chicken that I grew up on back in the Middle East. Thankfully, this place is spot on with their chicken shawarma, with the correct spit-roasted chicken paired with garlic sauce (toum), pickles, french fries and a hot pita bread. Delicious! I asked for extra garlic sauce because, OF COURSE! The fattoush salad was fresh and well portioned. I think that I'll be trying some of their other dishes the next time I'm in the area, although I will order by phone since the prices do not have the app markup that way. read more

What a great surprise! The gyros we had for dinner were great! Our first try here but not our last. So far, the best gyro sandwich I have had in Arlington. Don't miss it. Good variety on the menu too. The dining area is super clean and well decorated, and the kitchen area was clean and uncluttered as well. read more

The best chicken shawarma in town. Last time we got the falafel and it lacked flavor and the texture was dry.

Big disappointment. We are blessed with so many fine Mediterranean restaurants in Arlington, and there is a ton of competition on 303 within two minutes drive. Saw this place had opened and gave it a shot and ordered to go. They have their work cut out for them. Hummus was the best thing I had, bright and lemony. Uhhh whAt to did it in. I was given a solitary half hunk of pita. Cold stale pita. Disappointment. Fattoush salad was limp and the dressing seemed to be canola oil rather than olive. I'm not a fan of this, maybe it's the sumac. Got the king beef shawarma sandwich. It's pictured on a pita but was served in a hoagie type roll the pressed. The beef was stringy and had an odd aftertaste. The garlic sauce wasn't garlicy but had a soap taste. A msoujok sandwich was pressed as well like a panini though the picture looked like a gyro. I did not like the texture of the sausage at all. The baklava is evidently a manufactured product. It wasn't very good. The place seems to be clean. Done. Won't be back. read more

Very tasty food, friendly service and amazing atmosphere. Very well recommended. I tried the chicken shawarma and the beef Shawarma and both were delicious. The beef was tender and the chicken was not dry. I will definitely go back to try more items from the menu read more

Such a disapointment, I ordered a chicken sandwich, nothing special at all, so blah and plain. They scoffed when I asked for extra garlic sauce and pickles. They gave me a hard time over my request, hard to believe. Hands down zero customer service & plain, nothing special food. read more

Finally a Lebanese Resturant with Lebanese chef the name says it all shawarma king very highly recommended
