Shawarma’s King - Toronto, Ontario

Not the best, not the worst. No frills, quick take out. Missing ingredients of a traditional shawarma though

This place has gone downhill. I ordered the kafta plate . It was truly pathetic. No hummus, no pita , a lot of cabbage and rice to fill the bowl - no tomatoes, I asked for extra peppers - didn’t happen. No hot sauce that I requested and the ... place is dead - there’s no excuses. The kafta was microwaved (yes microwaved!!!) to its DEATH!! Hard shrunken tiny meat kebabs. This is NOT a $17 meal. I wanted tabouli that was an extra $8 - ridiculous. And to find it looks like it’s a week old when I got home and the bottom filled with cabbage /lettuce filler. How to lose customers quickly!! This will be my last meal the shawarma king … it should be called the shawarma pauper! For $25 go elsewhere and have a sit down meal with a draft beer! Read more

Shawarma's King is one of my main go-to's. I've been going to this place since it was in Toronto Eaton Centre over 20yrs ago and am happy it's still around, even though in a different location. The food is great. If you're a fan of Mediterranean this place ranks up ... there when it comes to a quick take-out meal. I've ordered from the whole menu over the years but my main go-to is the mixed plate. Delicious, perfectly marinated meats and the trimmings here are so good. The potatoes are seasoned to perfection and I really like the cole slaw too. All their sauces are good too but their garlic sauce is up there with the best of them. I definitely will always keep going back here when I'm in the area and need a good quick lunch. Note: there is no dining area here, only take-out. Read more

Both our meals came out to $30. I think $5-7 less would've been a better price. The quality was ok. Beef was salty and salad soggy. Has a small bar to sit at and eat. Table was dirty and it wasn't busy. Nice view of St Andrews church when sitting at bar.

Price was $13.55 and portion was plentiful but I did not sense quality ingredients or taste. The chicken was quite dry as others have stated. I've had better shawarma in the area and will not be coming back unless the price drops or quality increases.
