★★★★★ 5.0 Cristina Hernandez · Oct 2025

This was my first time here and they did not disappoint. They were so kind and friendly, I felt like I was visiting family. We had the falafel sandwich and the mixed Shawarma platter. The falafel is the best I've ever had and the mixed Shawarma was SO good!!! Also, the portion sizes are so generous, I can definitely make 2 meals out of each. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I will definitely be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 ISA RAFATI · Jan 2026

This place exceeded my expectations! Upon entering, I was warmly greeted with a complimentary boat platter featuring a sample of crispy falafel and rich hummus. The falafel sandwich was truly impressive, with a fresh pita stuffed with at least half a dozen juicy falafel. Given my hearty appetite, I was more than satisfied with just one sandwich. Having visited numerous falafel stands, I can confidently say that this is the best I've had in the Midwest!

★★★★★ 5.0 Akmal Zavrazhnyi · Jan 2026

Absolutely amazing shawarma! The meat is always fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The bread is soft, the vegetables are crisp, and the sauces are incredibly flavorful. Portions are generous and the food is consistently high quality. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the place feels clean and cozy. This is easily one of the best shawarma spots I’ve tried — highly recommend to anyone who loves great Middle Eastern food!

★★★★★ 5.0 EDNA · Jan 2026

First time here! I got fresh hummus, beef shawarma, chicken shawarma plate that comes with rice and salad and falafel, beef plate. Definitely coming back…! Small place but good food!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tony Maxie · Mar 2026

Decided to stop by on a whim. Glad I did..I tried the falafel (one of the best I've ever eaten) and the chicken kabob platter. The food was freshly prepared while I waited. The owner was super friendly and a great cook. I depend on reviews so when I come across an extraordinary restaurant, service or other I take the time to give recognition. I highly recommend youbtry King of Falafel!!!
