Had a wonderful time there today with my grandfather. Staff were patient with us and were attentive. Made us feel welcome! The smell alone will guide you into King David's, I got the Mediterranean Gyro and it was so good, I got a second one to bring home. Hope everyone else enjoys themselves as much as we did.
I really enjoyed this restaurant, mainly because of my affinity for Greek and Mediterranean food, but also because it's coupled with a fast casual service type.
Charlie, the manager of the Marshall Street restaurant founded by his father, recently closed this campus favorite after a run of about 46 years. He reopened in a small space on West Genesee Street opposite Fairmount Fair. The falafels, chawarma, and chicken pesto pizza are terrific and the baba ganoush is outstanding. In the past, I preferred the Fayetteville King David's restaurant, run by the other brother, Nadir, because of the ease of parking, but now they are equal in convenience, quality, and service.
Delicious authentic food! Best Mediterranean food in Syracuse!! Everything was absolutely delicious!
Food items are always accurate and fresh. Staff is helpful and efficient. I took off a star for personal preference because they put so much tahini in their hummus and baba ghanoush it tastes like peanut butter, but it's been this way forever at both locations so this is just their recipe. It's a bummer to have to get these items elsewhere but still great for lunch as the gyros and bowls are amazing.

King David Fairmount is definitely the BEST restaurant in not only Upstate NY, but all of NYS! It is a restaurant where the food is so delicious that I have to actually stop myself from crying because I'm so overwhelmed by amazingness! It is a go to restaurant for us.
The first thing I have to mention is the freshness of the food! The veggies are crisp, the flavors are bright and vibrant, and everything is in house made. They also use premium ingredients. I feel like that makes a huge difference and definitely lends to the amazing quality of the dishes. When I want real, fresh food, I can count on King David.
We are vegetarian and consider ourselves foodies. I love that KD has so many tasty vegetarian options. The hummus, baba ganoush and falafel are to die for! Any of the bowls (the farro bowl is outstanding!) are a great choice as is the vegetarian platter. The baklava...OMG! I feel a tear coming to my eye just thinking about it. Craving just 1 more piece.
The restaurant is comfortable, welcoming and spotless. The prices are excellent and you get a very generous amount of food, regardless of what you order. I also totally love the staff! They are so great at helping you get exactly what you want and suggesting new dishes. Eating here is just an all around excellent experience! I really love King David. If you haven't been, you are missing out on a slice of heaven.
As always fantastic food!!! Fantastic service!!!
Clean, friendly, quick, and good. What more can I say?
This is by far our go to place for fast service, delicious food and great atmosphere!! Let me not forget the most amazing baklava around!!
So glad they opened one in Fairmount. Don't have to go all the way to Fayetteville. Best middle eastern food around and still at a reasonable price. I always get a falafel platter and the portion is more than satisfying. Fast service even when you order take out and wait for your order in the restaurant. Yum!!!
UPDATE 7/14/2023 Still a good place to eat. The only thing I would say is the consistency of the taste of the food is different at times. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. I think it depends on whose cooking.
Awesomeness! Went here on a whim and was really pleased. Friendly greeting and staff. Place was busy but efficient. Ordered the lamb gyro, chicken gyro, chicken schwarma, loaded gyro bowl, and baklava togo. Short wait as food was prepared. Took everything home (30 minutes away) everything was still fresh, hot and delicious. Even my picky eater children were happy trying everything. Loved the crispy eggplant fries. Portions were ample and enough to feed a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 small children). Wasn’t a fan of the small side salad that came automatically with the platters, seemed to be missing something? I wish the menu above the cooks had some better descriptions for the novice orderer. Please see these as constructive criticism. I will definitely go back and recommend to friends.
Very nice build-your-own bowl recipe or try their suggested combinations. Friendly, helpful staff.
I've been coming to this place since ce I was a kid (and I'm no Spring chicken). My mother and I used to eat at the one up on Marshall near the university.
The food is always fresh and delicious and the prices are good.
The falafel is delicious and I love their Tahiti sauce.
The place seems clean enough and the service is usually good. My wife and I have had a couple clunkers but usually nice.
The food was delicious and fresh. We bumped into a man there who mentioned that this location was better than their other location. Their portions are also generous for the price so you'll definitely get your money's worth.
Fast, friendly service! Loved my falafel salad 10/10! Would recommend!
Best of the best!! Food is always fresh and well-prepared. Great service!! My favorite place to go.
