    Lunch Specials Menu (They post it pretty far behind the counter, so I had to zoom in)
    Albert T.

    Z Sharwarma King is your basic neighborhood Middle Eastern restaurant. They pretty much just offer what all the other similar restaurants offer around Metro Detroit, but their execution is definitely above average. Do be warned that this is a family establishment and they don't necessarily adhere to their posted hours - there's been a couple of occasions where I dropped by and they were closed when they were supposed to be open. This actually happened the last 2 times I went before noon which was a bit annoying. Luckily, this past week I finally caught them when they were open and got what I usually get: the Lunch Special C, which typically offers me enough food to last 1.5 to 2 meals. Lunch Special C ($9.99) - This lunch special comes with rice, katfa, chicken shawarma, some veggies, pita, and garlic. The rice is very earthy with a rich cinnamony taste and the perfect al dente chew. The kafta is rich, meaty, and dense with a great meat and parsley flavor. It comes in a single large patty, which is griddled to create a nice crust. It doesn't look like they fresh slice their chicken shawarma anymore as I noticed the shawarma grill was empty. Instead, they add very generous amounts of spices and salt, then pan fry the meat. This makes the shawarma is a bit on the dry side, but isn't too bad. I think this is the one item that has gotten worse over time unfortunately. The garlic here is whipped until fluffy and mixed with lemon juice for an acidic twinge. I prefer a less acidic and less whipped toum, but it worked well with all the rest of the food here. The tray also comes with some tomato, red onion, and pickles to make your own shawarma sandwich with the included pita. Everything is very salty, so be sure to have a couple of cups of water on hand. The price actually went down to $9.99 from $11.99 the last time I visited, but the amount of shawarma they give is also noticeably less than before. It's still a good amount of food for the money. I'd say the food at Z Sharwarma King is good but not outstanding. It's certainly a good choice if you don't want to drive to Dearborn and I still plan to go every once and a while for lunch. Edit: I've been told that they do still cook the chicken shawarma on the spit. I guess I went before they had a chance to put it up for the day? The meat I got was more of the scrappy, unshaved portions, so it could be leftovers from the previous day or something. Not sure, but I guess it's better to go later in the day if you want fresh shawarma.

    I ordered the meat grape leaves and this was a disappointed.

    I ordered the meat grape leaves and was initially given cold. Hard grape leaves. I took it back in and asked for it to be remade only for it's the same as if they steamed it and pretended like they were fresh. This is such a disappointing meal. This was my first time trying this location and will not be back as I really wanted my grape leaves.

    Chicken Shawarma Sandwich (With Pita)

    The service was really nice, the person helping me was very patience and kind. But to note that they might not be opened at the time they say they open if you are planning to go right when they open! The food there was really good for the price. The value of food you get for the price and the taste is really good. I had the Chicken Shamwarma and the Meat Shamwarma and I personally liked the Chicken Shamwarma. The chicken was cooked nicely as it was juicy and pretty flavorful, adding the pickles and the sauce was a really good balance. The meat Shamwarma was also pretty good I feel like it felt lighter than the chicken one because of the onions and tomatoes added which was a good balance. The ambiance is like any other normal restaurant where you order up front and either take it to go or eat in, but nothing fancy. Overall I would definitely come back to try other things, but for the chicken Shamwarma being around $6.25 was pretty cheap and good!

    I still love coming here to enjoy a fabulous chicken shawarma sandwich on the markook bread. You have to get a full sandwich but that's not an issue because it's so darn delicious It's softer than typical pita bread which gives it a nice "chew" but also crispy because they grilled the sandwich. Seasoning for shawarma's is spot on, good ratio of flavor from: chicken, garlic spread and pickle. I always say I'm only going to eat half but I can't stop myself! Today I had tabouly salad and it was so refreshing with the beautiful parsley roughly chopped, onion and tomatoes. Their dressing is also delicious, as the vinegar doesn't overpower the fresh flavors. They have a large selection of French Bread sandwich options, if Middle Eastern isn't calling out to you that day. Freshly made juice smoothies are available and new to me are cups of cut fresh fruit for a natural sweet tooth satisfaction. I still highly recommend zShawarma King for very good tasting food, high quality ingredients and quick, friendly service. I tend to dine in 90% of the time because I enjoy it most when the food is hot and the steam doesn't affect the textures of my sandwiches, fries, falafel- as may occur with carry out. But that's just me!

    Fed both of us and leftovers another full meal only $23 bucks a Mega Deal the Z Shawarma Platter
    Al P.

    Been regular customers since opening 10 Years ago, dad and 2 son's bringing some the very best Lebanese food Downriver. Yes they live in Dearborn and found a home in Allen Park, with hundreds of regular customers for a very good reason. Next door to Rams Horn on Southfield, easy parking, dining room and patio. You've probably flew past it a hundred times, stop in for really quit take out or dine inside. Our favorite menu item Z Shawarma Platter , Chicken Tawook n Chicken Breast along with Chicken Shawarma carved directly off the spit. Comes with flavorful Rice, Pita Bread, Toum Garlic Sauce and Tahini. A small Fatuous Salad n I always add a order of French Fries they really good . So two of us ate filled our bellies and took home enough for a whole other meal. Under $30 a true mega Deal, the platter is $23 which would be $35 plus in Dearborn restaurants. A non stop flow of customers open till close and hey they deliver, a really great reason to try. Fantastic reviews around the web Yelp and Google Enjoy. #zshawarmaking @z_shawarma_king #fatoushsalad #chickenshawarma #chickentawook #lowprices #allenparkmi #familyrestaurant #downriverfriendseat

    Had the chicken schwarma and veggie stuffed grape leaves. So good. Just discovered this place and it's a Mike from work. I'll be back. So good.

    The rice is so soft it's like giving my teeth a vacation. It's flavorful to boot. Portions here are very large. I got enough on the "Z platter" with a side order of hummus to make three meals. That platter came with grilled chicken, tawook and shwarma. A good mixture to try the menu. The shwarma was average, and the grilled chicken nothin spectacular. The tawook though, among the best I've had anywhere. The platter also came with a huge order of pickled, pickled onions and a large portion of garlic sauce and pita bread. The pita was store bought and cut into quarters, not fresh made. That's what stops this from being a four star review. The restaurant was much more spacious than I'd have thought based on the outside of the building, though I got carry out. Not sure if it's standard or an oversight but they didn't include silverware with my take out.

    BBQ crispy chicken sub
    Ali M.

    With this place being only a few minutes away from where I work, I order from here at least once a week. My favorite being the BBQ crispy chicken sub. The chicken is cooked very well and the sub is made to perfection. The best part is it's very filling. I only end up ordering half a sub and it always fills me up. I've ordered so often from there that the staff knows me and knows what I'm gonna order as soon as they pick up the phone! Overall great food and great service.

It's a large portion so be prepared to share! The pita that came with our meal was piping hot and so yummy and stayed tender even as it cooled. We also had a seasonal cauliflower with za'atar and other ingredients. Sadly the menu isn't updated online to refresh my memory on all ingredients. While I liked this, I really loved the wings and the baba ganouj. Our meal was perfectly paced, and we had plenty of time to drop our leftovers in the car on our way to Little Caesar's. I'd love to come back as it was overall a great experience!

Everyone who works here is so friendly and helpful. They remember us even tho we are only here twice a year, and I find that very sweet. We have had their bowls as well, all of which were good quality. There are lots of protein, topping, and sauce choices. They have grab n go desserts and some side dish items in the cooler with the sodas (they have Coke *and* Pepsi products). This location is clean, bright and warm with a clean restroom (for customers only) and some outdoor tables to enjoy in the warmer months. We have been and will be back many many more times to come!
