The newest food truck in Sioux Falls is bringing flavors from the Middle East to its customers.

Kabab King features the cooking of owner Moe Fares and his son, Firas, who originally are from Lebanon. They make kabab and gyros with a combination of lamb and beef, shawarma with chicken or beef, and falafel. All meals come as sandwiches or as platters with rice, salad, hummus and flatbread.

During the day, the food truck is parked at Graham Tire at 41st Street and Western Avenue. It’s typically open from 11 a.m. to 3 or 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and the hours will go later as the weather gets nicer, Firas Fares said. He posts updates on Kabab King’s Facebook page.

He has been taking the truck out for the late-night bar crowd and expects be around town for different events this summer.

The father and son started the food truck in mid-March, and while consistently warm weather hasn’t arrived yet, Fares said Kabab King is open every day, even if it’s only for a half-day.

“I want my customers to get used to the fact that I’m open,” he said.
