Little Sesame is a solid lunch option that offers filling and flavorful meals. Their chicken shawarma bowl, which comes with pita bread, remains a popular choice, and the hummus is a standout, praised for its smooth texture. Customers now enjoy many delightful, seasonal, high-quality vegan options, including the grilled cheese chicken shawarma and the oat milk soft serve, which is described as absolutely delicious. The restaurant also features other items like the roasted cauliflower grilled cheese pita and the shakshuka hummus bowl. Customers appreciate the use of organic hummus and organic chickpeas, which lighten the glyphosate load. They also value the compostable containers and the effort to reduce waste by only providing disposable utensils upon request. Service is noted to be speedy, and with great quality, amazing flavors, and reasonable prices, Little Sesame has become a favorite lunch spot for many. However, it's suggested to avoid going right at noon to skip the long lines, as visiting just 20 minutes earlier or later usually results in little to no wait.
