Outstanding Quality and Flavor King of Shawarma delivers an exceptional dining experience marked by authentic flavors and consistent quality. The shawarma is perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection, offering a rich and satisfying taste in every bite. The ingredients are always fresh, and the presentation reflects great attention to detail. The service is efficient and welcoming, creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for both dine-in and takeout. Overall, King of Shawarma sets a high standard for Middle Eastern cuisine and stands out as one of the best shawarma spots in the area.
Consistently amazing food, made fresh. The service is always exceptionally friendly and kind. There are many great options for authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food in this area, but this is one of my favorites. I give them five stars for atmosphere, because even though it’s a food truck, the area is always clean and well-maintained, and they even have a little seating area with astroturf. If you’ve driven past it a million times and wondered about it (like I did before I stopped the first time), give them a try! You’ll be so glad you did.
We just moved to this area of San Antonio…This shawarma spot is hands-down one of the best places I’ve eaten at! Every dish I’ve tried has been full of flavor, perfectly seasoned, and made fresh. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming — you can tell they put real care into both the food and their customers. I love that every visit feels like a new experience — there’s always something different and delicious to try! Whether it’s the classic shawarma wrap, the juicy kebabs, or one of their plates, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely try the Laziza drink in strawberry or apple it’s SO refreshing If you’re in the mood for amazing food and genuine hospitality, this is the place to go. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning what to try next time!
Amazing food! The beef kabob wrap was 10 out of 10! The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned, the veggies in the wrap were fresh and the wrap itself was grilled to perfection without being overly thick. The Dubai chocolate dessert was top notch & the strawberries in it were very fresh & juicy. Although this is a food truck at a gas station, there are several benches that made for a nice place to eat on the spot. The eating area was clean and well tended to. Definitely coming back!
Tried this spot on a friend’s recommendation and it didn’t disappoint! I ordered the chicken shawarma arabi, beef shawarma arabi, and the falafel plate. The chicken shawarma was flavorful, and while the beef was good, I’m not sure I’d order it again. But the falafel? Absolutely incredible — perfectly crispy, full of flavor, and instantly reminded me of the authentic falafel I’ve had during trips to the Middle East. It’s easily the highlight of the meal and something I’d 100% recommend. Definitely planning to return and will be telling all my family and friends about this place — especially for the falafel!
2 weekends and my first 2 trips to King of Shawarma and Kabab. First, I had a beef shawarma arabi plate (pickled veggies, hummus and fries) and then a mixed kabab plate (chicken and beef, rice, salad, hummus, 4 pieces of bread with onion and cilantro) with a small kanafa for dessert. The flavors are outstanding, service super friendly, and the prices are very fair for the quality and quantity of food. The hummus is easily some of the best I can recall. Pictured is the kabab plate and the sweet, cheesy, creamy, crispy, down right delicious kanafa. Highly recommended.
If you are a mediterranean food fan this is a MUST! Best mediterranean place in SA! We ordered grape leaves which are my favorite and they are amazing! We also got 2 plates: the gyro lamb plate & the mix plate. They both came with greek salad, rice, and the best hummus you have ever tasted! Let’s not forget the falafel donut bites! Everything about this place was a 10/10! Definitely a must try!! We will be back! Shout out to Henry, the owner. He was very kind and friendly!
Located in a gas station parking lot right off busy Wurzbach Rd, King of Shawarma & Kabab Food Truck provided hot food with kind but distant service. My family of four decided to cheat on our regular shawarma guy (Abu Omar) and try someplace else, and since this was everyone's "to try" list, we journeyed out on a Sunday afternoon. This area of Wurzbach is notoriously busy, but we were able to park alongside the Valero gas station where the food truck is set up. There are a couple of picnic tables and a porta-john within a few steps of the food truck. I don't know if the latter is for the food truck patrons or not, though. Hanging out in the "outdoor dining area" in a gas station parking lot with traffic whizzing by wasn't my idea of ambiance so we decided we were going to eat in the car. We checked out the menu and weren't initially greeted by the lone employee in the truck, but I'll chalk that up to him being busy setting up for the day. When we were ready, we ordered Chicken Arabis (wraps filled with chicken shawarma), a Chicken Gyro plate, and a Mixed Gyro plate. Our gyro plates came with a small salad, rice, hummus, and what was called pita bread but resembled and tasted like a paratha (which is a good thing). The hummus, in my opinion, lacked garlic, and the rice and chicken were both bland, but the plate was filling and hot. My husband also agreed that the meat lacked seasoning, but he finished his plate. The red sauce that came with the plates was spicy, but lacked any other flavor. The garlic sauce, which I'm assuming is toum, was really tasty and packed that garlicky flavor. I dumped it on my chicken and rice, and it turned out to be a great idea. Our kids enjoyed their Arabis but also agreed that the meat was bland. The food was delivered to our car by the man who took our order, which alone was worth a star. The total for our meals, with drinks and a tip, was $74, which is a steal nowadays. I recommend trying this food truck in the area since flavor preferences are subjective. The quality and price make it worthwhile if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
The shawarma’s are ok! Pretty decent portion but the sauce that goes into them kind of put down the taste. The white garlic sauce was better. The Dubai chocolate cups were tiny considering $12 and also just filled with more fruit than anything. I would expect a pretty decent size cup considering it’s just nothing but cheap fill chocolate. The outside of the food truck was clean and nice atmosphere.
We were so looking forward to trying this place out after reading all these highly rated reviews only to be let down because it definitely does not taste authentic. We’ve eaten at a lot of Lebanese and Syrian places here and abroad and this is a big no for us unfortunately. We ordered the 2 falafel and 1 beef kebab sandwiches and they were dripping oil and the flavors were just not there. We honestly only ate the kebab which was just ok and barely half the falafel sandwiches which we had to remove most of the vegetables bc they turned to mush, we couldn’t taste the pickles or the tahini sauce which had a lot of cumin and other spices which is a staple for a fresh tasting falafel sandwich. Won’t be coming back and we ate what we manage to eat as we paid for the food.
I recently visited King Shawarma after hearing a lot about it. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. This review is strictly about the food, not the service. The staff member who took my order was polite and provided good service. However, the meat was undercooked and the overall flavor was nowhere close to authentic shawarma. The branding looks good, but the food quality needs serious improvement. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience.
found a fly in my food. this is gross🤮 Everything else was good but this is horrible. do better EDIT: I hate to do this but you are claiming that these are not your fry boxes but I literally ordered from you last night sir. Instead of apologizing you cannot come on here and claim that these are not your fry boxes. Look at the other reviews post on this page it’s the SAME to go boxes as the one i posted. The fries were good, however there was a FLY in my food, that looked fried up in grease. I did not notice this until i was almost done eating which makes me question the sanitation of this truck. I will never be going to your food truck again cause this is ridiculous.
