Kababs, Gyros and More -- One of a Kind in Culver City

by PhillyMac at Citysearch

This is a family run walk-up where the middle eastern selections are always fresh and well prepared. Definitely not pretentious or extravagant. I have been getting my gyros plate here for years served with pita bread, hummus, yogurt sauce and pepperocini. I also enjoy the mixed grill, falafel and kabobs. There is limited parking adjacent on Sawtelle, a few spots in the back and at the Tattle Tale Lounge parking lot (enter either on Sawtelle or on Sepulveda). There are two or three small tables on the sidewalk which are best suited because of the traffic noise to sit at while waiting to pick up your order. King's is located on Sawtelle between the Tattle Tale Lounge, a beauty shop, and an equally good small coffee house.

I'm not sure of the hours. They're always open daytime, but I don't believe they stay open too late at night(too bad).

• Pros: Fresh, tasty, unique food. Friendly service, family run, not a drive-through chain.
• Cons: Busy corner makes access difficult at times.
