" My recent visit to Falafel King was delightful! The lamb shish kabob was juicy and had the perfect spices. I really appreciated the freshness of all the ingredients used. However, the outdoor seating was quite limited and could be uncomfortable. Overall, a solid experience that I would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have high standards for Mediterranean cuisine, having visited numerous places in the Middle East. Falafel King did not disappoint. The falafel was light and fluffy, and the tahini sauce was perfectly balanced. Their service was prompt, despite being busy. However, the seating area was a bit cramped for my liking. But who can complain when the food is that good? Highly recommend for anyone in Seattle looking for authentic Mediterranean flavors. I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unsatisfactory experience at Falafel King. The service was quite slow, and although the food tasted okay, it fell short of my expectations for freshness. I won’t be rushing back unless I hear there’s been a change. Not my favorite Mediterranean place in Seattle. " (*Curated Review*)

" Falafel King honestly surprised me. I ordered the falafel wrap and it was packed full of fresh veggies and flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed despite being cramped. I really liked how I could see my food being prepared right in front of me. The only drawback was the slightly higher price, but considering the taste and freshness, I think it was worth it. I'll definitely come back when I'm in Seattle again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Falafel King due to all the great reviews. I ordered the combo plate but was disappointed with the seasoning. The falafel was dry, and the chicken shawarma tasted bland. The service was cordial but not attentive. I might give it another chance, but I don’t think I’ll be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Falafel King on a whim after seeing their sign at Pike Place. I ordered the chicken shawarma and was blown away by the flavor! It was juicy and perfectly spiced. However, the service left much to be desired, as the owner seemed overwhelmed. Still, the food made up for it. I would love to see some improvements in the atmosphere too. " (*Curated Review*)
