“Stopped by for lunch on the go while I was in town for work. The gentleman at the counter let me know they had a Gazpacho soup special and it sounded good on a hot day. I was expecting a blended soup but was surprised to see a chunky cold mix like salsa but it was delicious! Really refreshing and good flavor. Served with a small side of chips. Also ordered 2 enchiladas and they were tasty, chicken and beef were flavorful and light on the cheese. Would visit again when in the area!”

“First off, the chicken is amazing. I got the three-piece tenders with a fantastic biscuit and a Mexican Coke for $11 and change! It's located in the Durham Mini Mart/Exxon, so you won't really see good signage until you're in the gas station parking lot. I'll definitely be back - best deal around and the chicken was amazing.”

“Sfogliatelle! They offer it frozen! Get it, pop it in your air fryer until golden brown and enjoy feeling like you are in heaven. It’s filled fully with great quality cheese and orange peel. It’s frozen so you can keep it on hand and feel free to lie to your friends that you made it. Best enjoyed alone with a cup of coffee on a quiet morning.”

“Parsley in Middletown is a go-to for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food. From crispy falafel and juicy shawarma to vibrant salads and homemade sauces, every bite is satisfying and made with care. The Family Mixed Grill is a highlight—perfect for sharing, it comes piled with tender shish kebab, chicken and lamb kebabs, and perfectly grilled lamb chops. Generous portions and bold seasoning make it a must-try. Don’t skip dessert—the homemade kunafa is warm, gooey, and deliciously crisp. Pair it with their baklava or ma’amoul cookies for a sweet finish. For a more relaxed experience, head to the cozy second-floor dining room—great for enjoying your meal in a quieter setting. Friendly service and consistently great food make Parsley a true gem on Main Street.”
