A new Middle Eastern restaurant has replaced a beloved dining spot in West Roxbury. The new place is called The King, and is a sister restaurant of Shawarma King, a Middle Eastern spot on Beacon Street in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline. It replaces Samia's, a popular Middle Eastern restaurant that had been in business since the early 1990s, only to close earlier this year.
According to skordalia, a poster on the Chowhound site, the menu at The King is a bit different from that of Shawarma King at this point in time (most notably there is no shawarma on the menu and kebabs are emphasized). However, it is similar to its sister restaurant in that it looks to be a place that concentrates on takeout while having some tables for those who want to dine on the premises. The Chowhound poster also mentions that The King will be open for lunch and dinner six days a week, but open mainly for lunch on Sundays.
The address for The King is: The King, 1894 Centre Street, West Roxbury, MA 02132. The phone number is (617) 323-5181.
Thanks to skordalia for giving us much of the above information on this new West Roxbury dining spot.
