Shawarma King

Pronounce it «She wore my King», although that sounds weird and conjures up strange images.
Personal Experience: Most of it is listed below, but since writing the rest of this view, I’ve been back here a second time, and the food was just okay. It wasn’t as bad as the first time, but it still didn’t do it for me. I got something that looked like Biryani though it couldn’t have been because that is Pakistani and Indian and this is North East African.
I will go back a third time soon, as it’s been 2 years since I was here. I do believe it’s still open but don’t quite me, I’ll find out.
I was a little disappointed with this place, and it’s not so much the customer service. They had no idea what was on their menu, and made my friend wait about half an hour while they stumbled and bumbled through her order (I was already late for a soccer game, this made me much later). I’m not sure what the hold up was, because what she ordered seemed to be their most popular dishes (2 kebab wraps), but what she got was something completely different (some East African dish with rice and creamy salad and one wrap filled with a different kind of meat from what she ordered.
At least they didn’t overcharge her, but that customer service was really, really bad. Anyway, that is not my complaint. I don’t care if a place has the worst customer service in the world, if the food is magnificent. However the food here was interesting and decent at best, bland and generic at worst, and definitely wouldn’t make me come back.
On the other hand, I’m delighted to see any kind of African and Middle Eastern cuisine present in Polish/​Italian/​Greek-​dominated Buffalo, so for that alone, I applaud them. I was also delighted to note that this place seems to have a pretty regular clientele, lots of people stopping off to pick up food and going in for various East African treats. Which raises the very obvious question, why could they not get our order right, since they seem to have so much practice. :) Also, if this is an average example of Somalian/​Sudanese/​Ethiopian-​type food, then I’d have to say, I don’t think that cuisine will ever end up being one of my favourites. I’ll have to ask them exactly which cuisine their food is mainly based on.

$ 3 for a chicken shawarma wrap?! $ 4 for chicken & rice?! And as a bonus, both taste pretty damn good too. Not dripping in sauce or oil as these wraps often come. Also, they advertise their homemade samosas. Good cheap food in the hood.
