"Chicken Shawerma Snack simple and delicious! The pickles give the wrap a nice crunch and the chicken is nicely seasoned. The garlic sauce is super garlicky, which I love! I added a side of Hot Sauce and it's great. Plenty of spice, nice and bright, not at all smokey."

"The lamb kebab wrap was really disappointing. The wrap that was used was low quality and became soggy almost immediately. The lamb meat was actually pretty good, but the rest of the filling was so sad I just couldn't get over it. There was absolutely no tzatziki, feta cheese, or herbs - the flavor profile was incredibly bare. Lastly, it was on the smaller size for a wrap, especially considering the $17 price tag. Terrible value. I will not be ordering from here again."

"The Beef Gyro Platter is always amazing. They're pricey but are big enough for two meals easily, but I'd also recommend getting an order of pita on the side if they have it(for some reason I couldn't on my order but ive never had this issue before). The 2 - Pieces Honey Sriracha Falafel was amazing, so much so that my order will be changing to this in the future. They're tender, slightly sweet, and fruity with the slightest heat in the aftertaste."

"Very tasty shawarma! All the ingredients are super fresh and the white sauce they use is amazing! I believe it was called garlic sauce "

"If you eat with your eyes and not your mouth, then this is the place for you. The DoorDash pictures are not an indication of what you will receive, but what you wish you had received. The "side" of hummus was laughable and the size of a thimble, so it was overpriced for the product amount, and the quality of the hummus (which was bland, slightly grainy, and didn't taste fresh). As for the wrap, it was fine, but also fairly bland, which is saying something considering I got it hot. The wrap pictures are also misleading because it looks like they come with fries, but they do not. Although the wrap description didn't mention fries, it wasn't implicitly clear that fries were not included, based on the picture being part of the advertisement of the meal. However, many people have given this place good reviews, so I'm HOPING that maybe it was just an off-day and if I ever order from there again, I'll know to stay away from the "sides" :-D"

They even come with garlic sauce and spicy sauce, which are really good! The chicken wrap is super long and about the size of my bf's forearm! Everything we've had so far has been delicious and the portions are really filling. Their hummus also tastes very fresh; | love it! | tried to order their chicken mendi before, but it was sold out and wasn't available at the time I wanted to pick up. I guess it's only available at certain times throughout the day? I finally tried it a few days ago and it was so moist and tender; it fell off the bone! The owners are super friendly and they even give complimentary tea! Halal King is truly a hidden gem and I hope more people find out about it!"

"Obsessed! Food is dreamy delicious and so worth the extra wait and out-of-range delivery to me. I get the vegan mushroom wrap, cholay rice bowl ans garlic naan to round out. Generous portions last me for a few days :) "

"I Thought I ordered the butter chicken rice bowl but I got chickpea salad bowl! It was insanely flavorful! Strong delicious flavors. Bowl made 2 meals though it coulda shoulda been 3 or 4 days meals. I had to lick the container clean at the end. The samosa was really good and came w 2 dipping sauces. One sweet and spicy, one savory green & spicy. If you like spice and want to eat more chickpeas, order this. Guess I still have to try the Butter Chicken and another Samosa."

"One of our dishes we ordered extra spicy (was great!) and the other was mild (came a bit too spicy). I called the store, not to complain, just to let them know. The employee immediately offered a full refund- I said not necessary- and he insisted they bring a milder version TO MY HOME! It came to my door within 15 minutes, was hot, fresh and delicious! I couldn't believe that kind of customer service! I will patronize this place for all Indian cuisine in the future! Best customer service in Oakland! Thank you so much! "

"Delicious flavors and good value. Dubai Latte was decadent, sweet, and beautiful presentation. Heyma Latte was tasty. The spinach feta turnover was good, but had a little less filling than I would've liked (but my partner loved it, so definitely just personal preference), and the cheese borek was too greasy. Overall, the espresso drinks were great, and I'll definitely order again and maybe try different pastries."

"I love this cafe, the quality of their coffee is stellar and every drink is made to perfection every time. The zatar mana'eish is very yummy, they use great olive oil and you can tell that they take time to source quality zatar, and I say this as a Palestinian who has standards. My favourite cafe in Berkeley hands down! "
