Best Kebab in all of Tucson! I regret not taking a picture of my plate, because not only did it taste delicious, but it looked delicious
The service was wonderful too, the young man that took my order was very pleasant and has great customer service. A must-stop if you are at Tucson Mall.

Delicious food, and wonderful service. The best kebab Ive tasted to date! The manager Cesan (sorry if misspelled) was a delightful gentleman with excellent customer service skills. He took really good care our order, and the food was delicious and so well taken care of. Definitely visiting again.

I would go to the Tucson Mall to eat from Kebab King only and nothing else. It is worth the trip, in my opinion, and I would not be afraid to take a special date here. The food is just. that. good.

I used to look forward coming here every time I visit Tucson. Today they told my husband that they changed things up on their menu. The gyro plate I used to love does not taste the same. Even the katziki sauce is watery and no flavor. Baklava was also terrible. I have been here a few times before so I know how much it changed. Now I am not so sure if I want to come back the next time I visit.

Sadly, my husband, who is of middle eastern descent, found this food to be subpar and heavily salted...in his words...Americanized. I do admit when this restaurant was located in their grocery store, it was simply divine. Now...not so much. It is Americanized or maybe Greeked. The difference is inthe wrap used on the meat and the meat is not succulent and juicy. This is a major fail. We won't be back:(

Best kebabs in town. Weve been to 3 other popular locations in Tucson, according to Google reviews. This was the best. In response to another review here, ground chicken is real chicken. Its not worth knocking a star off in my opinion. Good customer service and it was delicious, so I say 5 stars.
