Instead, they kindly gave me FREE extra rice that was just the perfect amount and even added a piece of baklava. Amazing people — so understanding and generous. I’ll definitely be back! And of course, the food was amazing.

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!

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.

The star of the show was, of course, the falafel. Golden-brown on the outside, tender and herb-packed on the inside—no dryness here! Whether in a wrap or as part of a platter, each bite had the ideal crunch-to-softness ratio.

Got the vegetarian falafel sandwich here a couple of times. Liked it very much. Staff was very friendly. Eat in the restaurant and they threw in baklava complimentary. That was also very tasty.

Some of the best shawarma in the city! My go to spot. My only complaint is that they aren’t open on weekends.

I love the donairs here - they are huge, great ingredients, good price, great service. I recommend a donair with everything accompanied by a chocolate milk.
