“I’m embarrassed to say I just ate at Shawarma King #1 for the first time. It was absolutely delicious! The staff were very friendly and the food was outstanding. So much flavor!“

“After a few hours at Volo Auto Museum we decided to explore the area and head over to the lake. Driving through Waukegan, we stopped into Papa Marcos Grill and Kabob.\n\nWhat a gem. We stepped up near the counter to read the menu and soon enough it was our turn to order. We started chatting with the owner's wife and she is so nice and so friendly. Offered recommendations and we settled on our choices. Fried mushrooms to start and I ordered the Vegetarian plate, with Falafel, rice stuffed grape leaves and rice. Mr. Bee had the lamb plate. The mushrooms were amazing, nice and crunchy without being greasy. Both of us loved our plates and the fresh naan bread. Our lunch even came with two small pieces of Baklava that was perfect. The best Baklava we ever had was actually in Greece and this one was right up there with it.\n\nThe food is fresh and light and delicious. From the front of the restaurant you don't expect much, but once inside you feel if you are stepping into Greece with excellent Mediterranean food.\n\nWhat a treasure!“

“Delicious food !! Great service.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Fresh. Had no idea I could find such delicious and healthy food at an oasis. Great flavors. Had the vegetarian plate with hummus, salad, falafel, boba, and grape leaves. Every item was awesome. Wish this restaurant was in my neighborhood!“
