Really enjoyed the Shawarma's here. Note, the Sharma Platter is a build your own Shawarma. The food was great and little confusion did not detract from the experience.

Was served old, dried out hard rice that lost all moisture and resulted in being hard to eat. Hurt my teeth eating some as I didn't expect to bite down on that. Rice was very salty as well. Chicken was moist and good but beef was super dry and tough. Salad was fresh.

Overall, this is my second time trying them and second time being disappointed. Quality and care is lacking.

I loved shawarma king. So far I have always ordered a mixed beef and chicken shawarma plate. The dish is delisious having potatoes that are roasted and seasoned well, hummus, salad having actually turnips cough cough Shawarma palace, and the meat was really good. The naans were heated well as well. I gotta say I find the experience here better then shawarma palace. The staff are so cool like they actually talk and engage with u as they are students and it's so fun to talk with them. It's also a family owned business so it's really fun to support a local business. So I find the customer service alot better then shawarma palace. I also feel like the portions they give u are now bigger then u find at shawarma palace. I also loved how the server accommodated my request for extra hot sauce and more saucy unlike the unwelcome feeling I got from shwarma palace. Also I ordered on door dash once and I was shocked after asking them to make it extra saucy they gave me like 3 sauce containers. Sooooo gooood. Like once had garlic, spicy and the other one might have been avoili. I would definitely choose this as my go to shawarma rice place in Ottawa. I was able to eat and get filled up by theix plate I bought for 3 days straight (even tho I also would buy naan to consume and eat as well from Loblaws). Overall I def recommend it.

I lived around the corner from here and used to go all the time! Lovely service with a smile and fantastic shawarma.

Moved away and came back one year later and made it a priority to get their shawarma. They never disappoint!

Long live The King!!

In town and went to Palace to eat some falafels and surprise they did not have Falafel! Family walked to the King and went with low expectations. And what a relief that had Vegan options on the board.

We were 7 of us and the person on the counter suggested we take the Vegan Family Feast that feeds 5. The good thing is that all of it was vegan even the garlic sauce which is rare.

The salad, the grilled veggies, the rice, the potatoes (fresh batch made just for us), plenty of pitas, the garlic sauce and hummus. We bought for 5, we were 7 but could have easily fed 10-12 easily.

The more amazing thing is the attitude and service of the people. Absolutely amazing. Pleased with the food, service and more importantly vegan food availability.

Our first visit. Did a chicken shawarma platter takeout for 4 people. Also ordered small veg portion aswell.I found chicken little dry. Rice was different in taste if I compare it with Shawarma Palace on Carling Ave. They did not give much potatoes.

Had my lunch for the first time here and it was delicious. Ordered Falafel platter which was a good portion that two can easily share. Chicken platter too was delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want a good portion of tasty meal for reasonable price.
