We first discovered this catering at my father-in-law’s birthday, and I instantly fell in love with the food. When it came time to plan our wedding, choosing them was one of the easiest and best decisions we made.
Their online menu made everything simple to choose from, the prices were exceptional, and the service was so thoughtful every step of the way. What made it even more special is that we were able to honor my husband ’s Greek heritage through the menu, and then we paired it with Venezuelan desserts—it was the perfect blend of our families and cultures.
The food was absolutely delicious and our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed it.
We are so grateful for their role in making our celebration unforgettable and would recommend them wholeheartedly!

My father and I came in on February 13, 2026, looking forward to having a nice dinner at King David. I was surprised to see that the menu did not match the menu we had consulted online. When we got there, we learned that that the items we wanted was not available on the menu.
One of the servers spoke to us rudely and said, “that’s a menu from about five years ago.” That would’ve been fine — except for that the server became ever nastier telling us it was our problem that we had looked at the wrong menu.
I strongly recommend that you remove old menus from the website because it is very confusing for patron. I also strongly recommend that you train your staff to be polite to patrons. I read somewhere on one of your reviews that you responded to saying that you always “strive to make things right with your customers,” but that was definitely not the case tonight.
We ended up walking out and going elsewhere, where we had a great meal and we were actually treated politely. I will NEVER ever go back. Bad food is one thing, lousy service is worse.

I’ve been enjoying King David’s Mediterranean food since the mid-70’s. The original restaurant on Marshall Street was established by the father of the current owners who worked for their dad as young men. When the father retired, the business was divided, with one son opening a new restaurant in Fayetteville and the other taking over the Marshall Street location, but moving to a smaller upstairs space. Having eaten at both restaurants, it is my opinion that the larger Fayetteville restaurant serves the best food. The chicken pesto pizza is an excellent starter for 2-4 to share. The platform is a 12″ piece of crispy pita bread topped with delicious cheese, chicken, black olives, tomatoes, and pesto sauce. For your main course, try the babagnouge ala carte platter which includes salad, pita bread, and a falafel patty, or order the chicken shish kabob over rice which comes with salad, falafel, pita bread, and hummus. Other items on the menu that we love include the beef chawarma sandwich, the Greek salad with chicken, and when it’s available, the mushroom soup. For something different, try the apricot nectar as a beverage. I think it pairs well with the food, particularly if you make liberal use of the hot sauce. At the far end of the dining room, there’s a door leading to a skylight-lit patio that’s pleasant in the summer. For lunch, you place your order at the register as you enter and it’s delivered to your table. At dinner, you are seated and the waitstaff takes your order and brings your food. Service is excellent and the environment is relaxed and comfortable. UPDATE-1: It seems that the pita bread may be thinner than it once was. The beef shawarma sandwich falls apart pretty easily. Delicious with added Frank’s Red Hot, but a little messy. UPDATE-2: I was up for a light lunch and chose a Greek salad without chicken. It served the purpose perfectly and tasted great. UPDATE-3: Even though the fattoush salad is no longer on the menu, the staff kindly prepared it for me. It was very good, but I do prefer the Greek salad.

The food was delicious and ready pretty quickly without compromising the integrity of the food. Ordered the fried calamari, the Gyro platter and dolmades which were all cooked perfectly. The portions are just right. The staff was pleasant and the setting is very nice. Wonderful little place to eat.

Came in for lunch and ordered the chicken swar pita and a side of fries (I misread their specials and thought I could pick two so also got falafel. Pita was over sauced and lukewarm. When I went back up to the corner the girl told me I would have to pay for fries even though it was the cashiers mistake. She said she spoke to her Manager and the manager said ‘no fries.’ I told her it was poor customer service and another ‘manager’ came out and tried to make it right by offering baklava and then finally offering fries. Obviously less than a couple of dollars worth of fries aren’t the issue. More of the idea of focusing on food quality and good customer service.

Speedy service and authentic cuisine were hallmarks of this wonderful Greek location. The only thing holding me from a 5-star review was the meager meat portions, which I had to rectify by ordering a second side of gyro meat to compensate. Our waitress was very friendly, and brought our out appetizers and meals in a timely fashion. The flavor of the dishes was very impressive, and reminded me of the foods my Greek neighbor used to cook when I was young. I would recommend this location for those seeking an authentic Greek experience.
If this review was helpful, please consider a thumbs up. It would be greatly-appreciated!

I went there today with my boyfriend, I ordered the chicken platter combo and was VERY disappointed… I was serve a plate of white uncle Ben’s rice with what seems like boiled chicken! There was no garlic sauce and the lady taking our ordered even offered salt and pepper because she too knew how bland and flavorless it was! I couldn’t even finish my meal! Left there STILL starving!!! NOT REAL MEDITERRANEAN FOOD

You walk in and order at the counter, they give you a number, and you go find a table. At lunch time it was medium busy, so there were plenty of places to sit. The food came out pretty quick. The workers were kind as well. I had the loaded falafel bowl, and it was good. Everything tasted fresh, but it says it has French fries in the bowl, but there were only like five fries which is not a lot. One of the people I came with had the same issue with her bowl, and my other friend had the chicken salad gyro and enjoyed it. I would recommend visiting! Lots of good options to choose from.

King David’s catered my wedding and they did a fantastic job! My guests all said this was some of the better wedding food they’ve had, and we loved it! They have something for everyone, gluten free, vegan, dairy free, etc. They accommodated a wide range of allergies and dietary restrictions and everyone had plenty of delicious options! They are so easy to work with, very organized and knowledgeable, and they are a family owned business which is another plus! Definitely recommend.

Our family loves eating Mediterranean, and King David’s has some of the best in Syracuse. The food is freshly prepared and authentic. When in the area, we stop for a meal every time. If you are looking for a no frills authentic Mediterranean meal, King David’s is highly recommended.
