Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Best shawarma I've ever had! Homemade wrap, fresh veggies, tender and smokey meat, a hint of citrus, and the sauce just tops it all off."
  • "Meat was so succulent and seasoned perfectly."
  • "The meats are tender and juicy."
  • "Best lamb donner I've ever had, fresh naan and delicious creamy garlic sauce."
  • "The Arabic kebab was very nice as well and since it was cooked over the charcoal grill it took it to another level."
  • "The chicken and lamb are properly prepared and stacked. Authentic kebab and the best shawarma we have had and we have had it in India and the middle east! 100% recommended."
  • "Amazing Chicken Shawarma. Smoky, juicy and all different flavours in one bite."

Cons:

  • "Food was really bland. Chicken looked undercooked so opted for the Lamb shawarma."
  • "The lamb was awful. Very bad taste."
  • "The chicken and lab both tasted like concentrated body odour."
  • "The problem is the kebab on the whole is a bit bland."
  • "The falafel was not flavourful at all, very disappointing."
  • "The lamb was really fatty and gristly. There was almost no flavour other than what tasted like a whole raw onion in the wrap."

Cons:

  • "What’s the point of having a phone number if no one ever picks up…???"

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Value for money is 5/5."
  • "Money wise Shawarma king is worthy tbh."
  • "£8.50 well spent. Definitely worth a visit."
  • "A great shawarma wrap and a can, for the price of a garbage McDonalds."
  • "Navigating the bustling culinary landscape of shawarma joints, Shawarma King stakes its claim with surprisingly pocket-friendly prices."
  • "The value for money on offer here is truly commendable, a beacon for all those seeking satisfying meals that don't break the bank."
  • "Had the small mix for £4.50 which is probably the cheapest and best I had for this price."

Cons:

  • "Not place to sit and eat, Only 8 chairs and 2 tables are available in the shop, that is always occupied."
  • "Also it's a tad overpriced. I could have had a Sunday roast buffet for cheaper than what I paid."
  • "Over priced like hell."
  • "For the volume of food i received it was about 30% overpriced."
  • "Extremely poor hygiene with flies on salad bar and meats being cut with same knives used for other food."
  • "Ate at this place yesterday after reading about it all through the Lockdown was looking forward to it. Portions were tiny Grub good but for £6 come on guys making a profit is ok robbing/cheating the public is not on."
  • "In the pictures it's looks good, but i went the shop and I buy one shawarma the taste is not upto the mark and after eating I got discomfort in my stomach."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "It's always hot especially if you visit in person."
  • "This place is very popular in the late evening."

  • "The location is rustic but welcoming."
  • "The location is perfectly integrate in the scenario and let you feel what eating a real kebab or wrap should be!"
  • "Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Short walk from Argyle Street."
  • "Hidden gem in Glasgow. I would personally say better than GDK and the pricing is reasonable for the portion you get."

Cons:

  • "The wait can be 45 minutes by which time food will be served cold so avoid peak times."
  • "You might need to wait for at least 20-30 min for your order."
  • "There's only a couple tables outside so there's no sitting in here."
  • "Did enjoy going here but ever since I asked them not to take advantage of the limited parking here it has been difficult."
  • "It's all about the food, because, let's face it, the location isn't a turn on."
  • "Small place without any indoor seating, had 2 tables outside without any cover."
  • "This place looks better than it should in my opinion if the food matched the place you wouldn’t go inside."
