The best hummus in Phoenix. Period.
Smooth and tasty; Shawarma King shield have been more appropriately named "Hummus King" as this delicious little GEM of a restaurant are the masters of their craft when it comes to middle Eastern magic in your mouth.
The hummus here will put the popular Pita Jungle to shame as there is no comparison! The mealy bland and tasteless garbanzo dip at pita jungle might be fine, but anyone seeking true middle eastern BLISS need to come and check out Shawarma King to rediscover the nuances and delicate smoothness and flavors without buying airfare to Lebanon or Israel. Amazing.
Another huge plus here: some of the most delicate, melt in your mouth pillow soft HOME MADE pita bread you've ever tasted. Piping Hot out of the oven, the taste again here is heaven on earth yummy and paired with the hummus (with a dab of their spicy Jalapeño sauce in the middle) you will be floored at the quality and exquisite taste. Nothing else in the valley holds a candle to this.
I've also had the Arabic salad here which had a nice mix of ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and Tahina (with the jalapeño) and even in its simplicity this salad amazes.
The chicken Shawarma is nicely seasoned and tender.
Prices here are a little higher then you might expect for a strip center middle eastern joint near metro center. But I can assure you that the deliciously fresh and quality ingredients at Shawarma King far surpass anything you've tried in this valley. The interior of the place is spotless, and the chef owner (and his wife) seem passionate about their food.
Tops in the valley.
I've been here 5 times at least, and this is a five star experience without a doubt.
