Shawarma King was opened by two brothers and a cousin in 1992. It originally came from the family's business in Lebanon. It is a family owned business which passes down traditional dinners and recipes. The food is traditional homemade Middle Eastern Gourmet food, and the meat is only Halal Meat.   Last updated 40 years ago

  My family has been going here for years and today was my last time. The owner was very rude when I was ordering and showed no respect to me whatsoever as a woman. I brought my entire family including my husband, kids and husbands parents and my Father in Law who heard him being rude to me refused to even eat the food. It's too bad cause we did like the food but definitely not the service.

★★★★  Always great food. My favorite has to be Kafta kabob, and Garlic Chicken sandwich. I also like their daily special meals though not the salad -- I'm not a salad guy. Highly recommend.

★★★★  We are a couple that usually shares a combo plate and one of their drinks. Both the lemonade with rose water and other red drink with almond slivers are delicious. We have never tried the desserts there... we're always stuffed after the combo plate. I would warn against the lentil soup though. We tried it once; it tasted really bland and was too thick.

★★★  I was here a week ago, the owner was actually really nice, explained to me the daily specials and said to take my time for the order. Unfortunately, the food wasnt as great as I had hoped, the chicken for the shawarma was quite dry. Lets just say I have had better shawarma elsewhere.

★★  1. Owner wasn't friendly at all - he was very serious and did not make us feel welcome at all by rushing our order and doing little to explain to us anything. 2. My beef shawarma was cooked well, but it was overly loaded with spices - as if they poured a box all over it, making the end result overwhelming.

★★★★★  I love the food here. My wife and I usually share a combo meal and there is enough food in one plate for both of us. I especially like the plate which has a good selection of all kebabs (chicken, kofta, lamb shawarma) in one plate. I recommend this place to everyone. However, the place could be bigger as the seating is not enough.

★★★★  Muslim owners...very nice/friendly people. Not the cheapest food. Sandwiches are much better than the combos. The shawarma are thick slices instead of thin.

★★★★★  Excellent food, great prices, convenient location, always very busy (can be hard to find a table), very casual dining (plastic chairs). I highly recommend the combo kabob plate. I am not as impressed with their shawarma sandwiches though. They usually have very friendly staff.

NR  Beef lamb shawarma is outstanding at Shawarma King, and the other items that I have tried have been consistentlt excellent. They raised the price of the shawarma wrap to 5 dollars last year but still very reasonable. The owner also verbally verified that the meat was zabiha, and I have no reason to question it. Consistently high quality food makes Shawarma King a popular favorite restaurant in Boston.

★★★★  "Clean, tasty, moderately priced. A good alternative to Boston Shawarma. A popular place for halal-conscious Boston Muslims, as well as Brookline-area college students."

★★★★  Great food! Especially the Kafta Arayees and the cocktail Juice. Give it a try and you will become a regular.

★★★★  "Really great food, especially the Chicken Shawarma sandwich and the Chicken Kabob."

United States
★★★★  "A great place to pick up Middle Eastern sandwiches (hummus, baba ghannoush, shawarma) or to sit and enjoy a more substantial plate with shawarma or kebab and Middle Eastern salad and other side dishes. Good value for your money; but, minimalist cafe style seating area."
