This was my first time here and they did not disappoint. They were so kind and friendly, I felt like I was visiting family. We had the falafel sandwich and the mixed Shawarma platter. The falafel is the best I’ve ever had and the mixed Shawarma was SO good!!! Also, the portion sizes are so generous, I can definitely make 2 meals out of each. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I will definitely be back!

This place exceeded my expectations! Upon entering, I was warmly greeted with a complimentary boat platter featuring a sample of crispy falafel and rich hummus. The falafel sandwich was truly impressive, with a fresh pita stuffed with at least half a dozen juicy falafel. Given my hearty appetite, I was more than satisfied with just one sandwich. Having visited numerous falafel stands, I can confidently say that this is the best I’ve had in the Midwest!

Absolutely amazing shawarma! The meat is always fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The bread is soft, the vegetables are crisp, and the sauces are incredibly flavorful. Portions are generous and the food is consistently high quality. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the place feels clean and cozy. This is easily one of the best shawarma spots I’ve tried — highly recommend to anyone who loves great Middle Eastern food!

Decided to stop by on a whim. Glad I did..I tried the falafel (one of the best I’ve ever eaten) and the chicken kabob platter. The food was freshly prepared while I waited. The owner was super friendly and a great cook. I depend on reviews so when I come across an extraordinary restaurant, service or other I take the time to give recognition. I highly recommend youbtry King of Falafel!!!

I finally stopped in after driving (Speeding) past so many times going to Chicago Ridge. It’s a few Middle Eastern eats in the area, and I have eaten from a lot of em, and I might have to put them at the top. Service was great. Food was amazing. Kept it simple with a Chicken platter. Chicken was tender and seasoned perfectly. Very generous portions. Usually not big on Falafel, but they gave me a sample with hummus and I ordered 3 more. Will definitely be back.

The King of Falafel & Shawarma has easily won my heart one of my favorite spots, not just for the food — which was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned — but for the exceptional customer service that truly sets them apart.
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth. The staff treats every guest like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. They’re attentive without being pushy, quick to offer recommendations, and always make sure your order is exactly the way you want it. There’s a level of pride and hospitality here that you don’t often see anymore.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or picking up dinner for the family, the staff moved with efficiency and kindness.
And of course, the food delivers every single time. The falafel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the portions are more than generous. Pair that with the staff’s positive energy, and you’ve got a place that’s truly in a league of its own.
If you’re looking for great Middle Eastern food served by people who genuinely care about their customers, The King of Falafel & Shawarma is the place to go. A real gem.
