King David's Restaurant

This place is fantastic, total hidden gem. I have Celiac disease and the restaurant caters well to folks with allergies. The storefront is a quick service with a few tables and a TV to watch sports. Nothing fancy but a self serve soda fountain. The food quality is surprisingly good. Food just as good as a sit down diner at cheaper prices. I had salmon and chicken Schwarma, dolmas, baba, and hummus with falafel. I wish this place was where we lived. We would be regulars. 10/10

Ordered the crispy Chawarma. Ohhh it was crispy alright...more like totally burnt on one side. Took 2 bites and all I could taste was burnt. The meat in those 2 bites I took had cartilage in it. The Shawarma dropped with what I think was grease. It's wasn't sauce as it was clear. Won't be going back....very disappointed! First impressions are suppose to be everything! Not impressed! (Word of advice, use a panini press instead of the flat top grill to crisp the crispy Chawarma. You're less likely to burn the thing!)

Never have I ever left a review but this one felt necessary. I got a chicken gyro and not only was the bag that my gryo was double wrapped and placed into just filled with oil, but my entire gyro had so much oil in it that it was all i could taste. It literally tasted like they just poured the entire pan into my gyro it was bad. The only reason for the two stars is bc the tomatoes and the lettuce were very fresh tasting other than that i couldn’t even eat my entire gyro i only ate the lettuce and tomato and the parts of the pita that weren’t soaked and soggy with oil.

Charlie, the manager of the Marshall Street restaurant founded by his father, recently closed this campus favorite after a run of about 50 years. He reopened in a small space on West Genesee Street opposite Fairmount Fair. The falafels, chawarma, and chicken pesto pizza are terrific and the baba ganoush is outstanding. In the past, I preferred the Fayetteville King David's restaurant, run by the other brother, Nadir, because of the ease of parking, but now they are equal in convenience, quality, and service.

Great food and great selection of some authentic Mediterranean cuisine. I love to see allergen options on the menu. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat check this place out.
