Cheap Eats: Shawarma King
The falafel are made up of a mixture of chick pea and fava bean, flavored with plenty of parsley and garlic. The crispy little balls are served with tomatoes, a mild pickle spear, tons of onion slices, a bit of parsley, and a good amount of nutty tahini sauce. For the falafel roll-up, the fillings are all surrounded by grilled pita bread, adding extra crunch to the sandwich. For $5, that's one filling and delicious meal.

So I got all pumped up yesterday, walked my behind up to Coolidge Corner, and then - closed! Apparently Shawarma King isn't open on Mondays. GDit!

Very strange! Sorry to have sent you on a wild goose chase!
Yes, a review of Rami's will be coming up soon. They have a completely different falafel sandwich than Schawarma King.

I got to go to Shawarma King the other night (finally). It was super busy, and their food was definitely delicious. However, I was a little disappointed by the small size of the Shawarma, though.

their sandwiches are quite small .. and a wee bit expensive if you go for the meat options .. and they close down at 10 .. even on weekends .. thats the suckiest part ..
