★★★★★ 5.0 maher elzaher · Feb 2026

This man’s food was spectacular. He was very nice, they have a good assortment of drinks. I ordered the chicken Sharwawa box, came over fries, house tahini , and vegetables. Excellent 👌

★★★★★ 5.0 Farima Anwari · Nov 2025

Shawarma King was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. The chicken shawarma was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Every ingredient — tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles — was freshly sliced, clean, and tasted amazing. You can truly tell everything is prepared with high quality and care. The service was just as impressive as the food. The person who made my shawarma was extremely friendly, gentle, and genuinely kind. They treated me with respect and warmth, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, outstanding freshness, and wonderful customer service. A clean, tasty, and wholesome experience — I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Tried Shawarma King for the first time and it did not disappoint! The shawarma was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with generous portions and delicious sauces. Great food and a must-try if you’re in Charlottesville and craving Middle Eastern food. Also AMAZING service! The owner is very friendly. 🌯✨

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Zeeshan Seth · Jan 2026

The service was good, friendly guy working there, but the food was not so good, it was just full of rice and small kids bite size pieces of chicken on the kabobs platter. Six pieces of half inch cube size burnt chicken. The shawarma was dry, lacked flavor and barely anything in it. It topped on top of soggy oily fries. We ended up just throwing everything away. And ridiculously overpriced.

The reviews are true: best shawarma I’ve found in the U.S. Fresh and tasty. Generous service and good vibes in general. 10 out of 10
