Shawarma King

I would say this lived up to the hype and expectations. The freshly made bread was delicious, the meat inside was ample and perfectly cooked. So juicy! The garlic sauce was great, but I made the mistake of not getting an extra tub. The chill sauce was mild, so you can easily get it in the wrap. I got a large mixed shawarma. I saw people say they couldn’t finish it. I could have had 2!!

Great shawarma! However, I would add some extra tables and chairs for customers. Since the ones that are there are not enough. However, the food and service are top notch. Well done👍

It's nice to wait in line with folks truly excited for their lunch. We tried Shawarma King after walking several miles around town and it hit the spot - though I could only manage the half size, not the large. It's greasier than I like my shawarma, but the baba ganoush was absolutely delicious and unique. Definitely worth the hype, even if not perfect for my tastes.

Hi All, I really loved the mixed shawarma wrap (£6), I enjoyed it without any regrets. The only fault that I found is that the shop is selling soft drink that shouldn't be sold separately. I think we should all follow the law, wherever we are present. A simple note for the owner: Please rectify this mistake, "ASAP". Kind regards

I travel the full UK.. t his is the best wrap mixed kebab ever....... don't miss out if you ere up in Glasgow. It's in the backs of old merchant city

Seems like Phil was too hungry when he visited this place that it masked his taste buds😂. I visited today 13/04/2024 with my family from Aberdeen and took them straight there. There is no parking space outside all the way double yellow line. The place is pretty small and tight and it took us at least 20 minutes to get three wraps. Anyways I ordered for myself the beef shawarma. Reached back to my hotel opened the wrap and started eating. After couple of bites I did not experience any flavours bursting etc. there was nothing like something extraordinary. Bread inside was burnt and giving a bitter taste. On the 3rd bite I discovered that there was no more beef but chicken started and it lasted till end despite the pack marked as B with a red sharpie see photos. Really disappointed at the quality/flavour even if I leave out chicken in a beef wrap. Price wise it’s ok however if one is looking for quality/flavours/taste I won’t recommend

Mixed feelings about Shawrma King. The shawarma itself was fine, the bread was the best bit and the filling was okay. Perhaps the other good reviews just highlight other poor shawarmas in the area? Service was shoddy. My biggest irritation is that they say they open at 11am, but when I went at that they weren’t ready to serve, asking me to come back at 1130 and again at 1200. If you’re not ready to serve food at the opening time then change the opening time. So a very okay experience. I won’t be rushing back.

I should start this review by stating that this has been rated THE BEST Kebab House in Scotland for three years running and it’s easy to see why. They do the little things so so well, a no frills menu that provides flavor and yumminess. Would so so recommend if you’re in town, truly the best Kebab in Glasgow.

Freshly made bread (you can see them making it in the back), a nice char on the shawarma, and a garlic sauce to top it off. Perfect takeaway food to eat at the Green nearby.

Really really wonderful! I haven't had a good shwarma since visiting Israel in 2014. The baklawa was amazing too! We went back and bought enough for the rest off our trip!

Hidden away between the city centre and Glasgow Green is this little gem. News of its great food spread like wildfire through my office so I decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. It's is the tiniest of wee takeaways, which seemed even smaller when there was 10 people crammed inside it and hanging at the door all waiting in their lunchtime shawarma. This place is really popular, and with good reason because the food is cheap (£3.50 for a chicken or lamb shawarma) and it is extremely tasty. Although the meat comes straight from your usual kebab elephant leg it isn't as greasy or stomach churning as your usual kebab leg - ok it's far from healthy, but it is a lot better than other kebab shops offer. The bread is freshly made, and the vegetables in the salad are fresh and crunchy (I advise asking for extra pickles as they are amazing with the chicken). I'm actually salivating at the thought of a shawarma while I'm writing about this place. Friday lunchtimes you always want a wee treat for lunch to kick your weekend off - this is the place to do it. Similar price to a Tesco meal deal and 100 times tastier - go on treat yourself.

Now this is a true gem, from the outside this place looks a dive but trust me give this place a go!. Now i'll be honest every time I've been here i've only had a Shawarma, they do either chicken or lamb with a tasty salad for only £3.50. The meat is to die for and is the real star of the show, combined with the salad, a sauce and wrapped up in beard for easy eating. To be fair this is a great easy lunch option for workers, or those who want a no frills type of eating. It doesn't get much cheaper or much better than this. If you do pop in, give the guys a bit of chat, they are always smiling and joking.

Chicken Shawarma and Lamb Shawarma, they might do other things but I have never seen a menu, nor do I think I even need to as those two dishes are all I ever want when I visit. Each is available in two sizes, the regular wrap or as a "main meal". I find the wrap size to be more than enough, the main meal is only for the seriously hungry. You receive a large container half-filled with your shredded meat of choice and the other half with salad and sauce. This is served either with rice or a full nan bread and a separate tub of garlic sauce. The salad used in both sizes is delicious, with a generous amount of tomato and gherkins. The sauce is nice, but I would prefer it to be a little bit spicy. The meat is really tasty, although I have found the lamb to be slightly chewy sometimes. And the wrap size is a steal at only £3.50! The actual take-away doesn't look like much from the outside, although it always has a queue which I take to be a good sign. There is seating but it very limited to just a few uncomfortable high stools. This is definitely more of a take-away than somewhere you'll want to sit in. It'll also make perfect post-pub food if you're near-by in any of Merchant City's bars.

Very nice shawarma, halal although not mentioned in yelp. I tried the lamb shawarma which is really nice

This is a new restaurant/takeaway at the corner of King Street and Bridgegate. It definitely has more of a takeaway feel. Walked by it a few times .... It doesn't look like much from outside but often has a queue of people which I took as encouraging sign. Finally tried a shawarma takeaway tonight. The meal size version (£7) has crispy shredded chicken from rotisserie served in large tray with tasty seasoning with the other side of tray filled with tomatoes, onions and gherkins. The flatbread is served separately in bag so you do the wrapping at home or just use it for dipping. A side of garlic mayo is also provided with can of soft drink. In hindsight, I would have gone for the smaller shawarma which is ready wrapped served in standard sized flat bread - only £3.50 - most other people were ordering that version. It was really tasty and I would definitely go back.
