| - I've been a loyal customer of Shawarma's King from the time they had a tiny location at the lower level of the Eaton Centre. After a long wait they opened this location which fortunately still remains within walking distance of my work.
Anyway, I was really surprised to read some of the negative reviews here. I've tried quite a few different places for shawarma and this is by far my favourite. I usually order them chicken shawarma plate that packs a punch due to its sheer size. I'm not sure how much the plate weights but for those with a big appetite like me it's one of the $10 you'll spend anywhere! The plate can be tailored to your taste buds, with three choices of rice (you pay extra for the rice with lentils), two different types of salad (garden or cabbage), you get a couple of baked potatoes and it's your choice whether you want garlic or hot sauce (or none) and salad dressing (or none). So, if you complain that there's too much of one or the other, we'll, you got no one to blame but yourself...
Also, I've know Ali (the owner), Mariann (who works as the cashier too) and some of the other staff and they have ALWAYS been very polite and helpful. On my last visit I saw Maryann give free food to a senior who claimed she had forgotten her wallet... They've ALWAYS served me with a smile, given me plenty of food while ensuring that the plate was to my liking.
I suggest that those who had a problem with the food and/or service here give it a try again and speak up. Talk to the staff and mention your concerns, it's a much more effective way of getting them to improve and have the food and service to YOUR liking.
