I don’t want to do this but both quantity and quality have been cut in half. Literally my first and only restaurant review.

The food was okay, The customer service wasn't.Cashier gentlemen was not friendly. There was not any welcoming words nor appreciation attitude to be seen here.This feedback may not please the owner as I was reading other reviews before posting mine, and saw the offensive/hostile replys from the restaurants end.Frankly, it is very low when the owner/manager threats clients saying I know where are you/ who are you are...etc. it brings a disgrace to the culture you are representing, this says who you truly are.so the food here doesn't matter anymore.I still think that this feedback amongst the other ones posted here are meant to be constructive comments and not destructive unlike the way the owners sees it.I hope they will work on this area and do better.P.S. I guess I will get my share of the offensive reply from them soon!

The shawarma was tasty, also really liked the sauce for the fries. I advise you to try crispy falafel. Pleasant oriental music added good impressions.

Nice last-minute lunch while in Fox Lake. My gyro sandwich was very good. The red onion was very strong but I never blame the shop for that - it's the luck of the draw. We also tried some hummus and a Jerusalem Salad. Both were also very good. Good flavors.

Excellent! After a long international flight, we were on our way to Milwaukee from O'hare and were ravenous. After getting away from the hustle and bustle of the airport area, we did a quick search on Yelp for some fast casual bites, and Shawarma King came up. I'm so glad we found this spot. I ordered a falafel wrap with fries. We also ordered the hummus side and a piece of baklava to share (again--ravenous). Everything was pitch perfect and over-the-top delicious. The falafel was the perfect texture (not a bit dry!) and the fries were well seasoned. The hummus was also incredibly flavorful. The baklava was, of course, a sweet dream. The service was kind and the prices were reasonable. A resounding five stars! Get to it!

Cannot rate the food, gentleman at the register was too busy to take my order. Literally helped people behind me, answered the phone and asked if I was there for a pick up or to place an order, then turned around to do something else.I will just keep going to fist location in the mall, great food and great service.

Came here in the evening after a long busy day at work. My sister and brother in law were both so impressed about this place and said I had to try it. We came in and it wasn't that busy about 3 people were dining in. Place is small with the front man and the cook. It was clean and the food aroma smelled good. We ordered a couple things including the baba ganoush which is one of my favorite things to eat. Everything was great but was not impressed with their baba ganoush, it was rather disappointing bland, I couldn't taste any flavor, and it looked very liquid or watered down. It is not the kind of baba ganoush I am used to, maybe it's the type of baba ganoush where they are from but it's a no for me. But everything else was flavorful. Will come back again for sure.
