Famous King invites you to their dining room. They are open nightly all week. You can get there by car and public transit and visit them in a neighborhood known as stimulating.
The food is a Canadianized version of their so-called "authentic" Lebanese. The service is unhelpful and rude. On two separate occasions the server has been rude to me for no reason. I might consider going back if I can't find another halal Middle Eastern restaurant in Kingston.
From the minute I entered the door, I was warmly welcomed. Then, the owner Fouad, made me one of the best shawarma I have ever tasted. Much better than the competition (if you can call it that!) on Division Street.
I will return to Famous King for my shawarma :)
People in Kingston must be on crack to like this place
After living in a middle eastern area of Toronto for several years I became accustomed to falafel and shwarma that was outstanding.
I had people recommend this place but I honestly have NO idea why people would do so. Keep in mind I live about 100 feet from this place and have been several times to give it a chance (or because nothing else was open).
The falafel and chicken shwarma are abysmal. Both are pre cooked and microwaved infront of you, done in a thin tasteless pita with old veggies.
I cannot stress how awful both of these items are and overpriced. I used to get sublime falafel in Toronto for 3 bucks with fresh veggies, REAL hummus, and crisp well flavoured falafel balls.
The guy that works there is very nice thats about the only positive thing I can say for this place. I tried to give this place at least 6 seperate chances but every time it disappointed.
Ignore any other review in this list that says the falafel and shwarma are anything but an insult to Mediterranean cooking.
