Just had a falafel wrap now, and the young man who served me was warm, hospitable, and super friendly. The food was fresh and really filling. Definitely will visit again!

You don't find this kind of customer service too often. Very respectful people. Family own business with a taste of mediteranean cuisine.
Would recommend anytime!

A solid place to go for shawarma. The vegetables are fresh, the hot sauce is good and the portions are generous. Very friendly staff. If you're on Steven Ave definitely drop in here for lunch, it's well worth it!

First time eating here and will be a staple go to in the future. Staff were very friendly and had a good chat about the best team in the premier league Arsenal! Ha ha. Seating area is large and very clean and modern. The food was excellent I had a chicken shwarma wrap and my wife had the falafel wrap. Falafel hand made on premises and cooked fresh. Amazing flavor and outstanding value for money.

Loved finding Falafel King. In a sea of pub food providers and over-priced clones of TGI Fridays, it was nice to find really good Mediterranean, with reasonable prices to boot!. Owner/chef was fantastic and friendly, and the service was quick—-despite the face that all of our food was made fresh….not sitting around waiting for someone to order it! The space is what you expect…diner style. No frills. Wish we had a Falafel King back home!
Highly Recommend!

We ordered takeout from Falafel King during our vacation, and it was by far the best food we had during the trip. The order consisted of: [1] donair poutine, [2] donair wrap, [3] falafel wrap, and [4] beef shawarma platter. First off, Falafel King is very liberal with the amount of donair they layered on both the poutine and the wrap - they were loaded with so much delicious donair that it puts my Bay Area-local restaurants to shame. And it was good, like so tasty. For the poutine, the gravy was just right - it was neither overly watery or viscous.. The yellow potatoes used in the poutine were fried on demand, so they came out extra crispy. The beef shawarma platter was also pretty loaded with delicious meat, rice, veggies, and large-sized pita (the same ones used to make the wraps). To top it off, the order came with a free side of Baklava. The hot sauce used in the wraps had some real heat to it, even though it wasn't slathered on.
Service was fast, and the two gentlemen working the counter were very courteous. As for the layout of the restaurant, it seemed clean - but we did not linger given the order was takeout.
