Excellent customer service and the food is absolutely delicious! Parsley is a hit with my entire family (kids range from 15 months, 4 years to 13). My husband and son love the rice bowls and the littles an myself love the house salad with chicken shawarma. The steak is juicy and tender and also is a family favorite.Kid-friendliness: My kids love the regular adult entrées, garlic sauce, pita and the French fries.

had a bad attitude and gave me mere morsels of food. Big Al (or as i like to call him, big attitude Al) mouthed me off when i questioned the portion sizing

They're a good, busy little shop. The employees were super friendly, and the line moved quickly. Indoor seating was functional, but I usually prefer non-hightops. However, the person I was meeting there arrived before me. The menu is very customizable, which I loved. The Gyro rice bowl was good and a decent sized portion. Thankfully, the restaurant has lids so I could take my leftovers home. From what I noticed, the restaurant stayed busy and was quite loud with the guest and kitchen noises. It wasn't too loud, and I was still able to successfully have a productive lunch meeting, so I would recommend it for anyone looking for a casual, quick bite. Pros: - Good food - Generous portion - Friendly service - Efficient service Con: - I wish they would have given a larger portion of sauce for the bowl, it felt a little dry.

We had parsley’s prepare and deliver lunch for our bridal party. They were easy to work with and delivered right in time. Food was great! One thing that impressed me the most was that we tried to give the delivery guy a tip and he didn’t accept it. He said it was included in our bill. You don’t see integrity like that too much these days.Highly recommend Parlsey’s.

Overpriced but very very good. Very clean. Excellent service. The food was absolutely out of this world. Generous portions of the bread that comes with the hummus. Bathroom is extremely clean.

Food is bland and boring. Great service but the food was uninspired. Basically just a worse and more expensive Cava.

Great low key spot to grab something quick to eat. I have been trying to navigate vegetarianism and the fattoush salad, and the fattoush and hummus wrap have given me something within those guidelines I actually enjoy. The lettuce is crisp, and the dressing and garlic sauce are on par with what you would expect from Mediterranean food. Parsley offers an inexpensive, quick way to grab a good lunch.

I had heard good things so we were excited to try. Portions were very sparse for the price -and the flavors were not remarkable. A wrap was $13.75 (NO fries, sides, or pop) and there was not much food in it; we went directly to another restaurant to fill our bellies. What little food present was fresh -but not remarkable or substantial enough to where it would be worth those prices.

This is my favorite by far in town. I’ve been a loyal customer for YEARS but unfortunately I was turned away with 6 mins left until close. If they aren’t going to serve you until 8pm then they for sure need to change their business hours. I’m so disappointed.

Best homemade hummus. I try to get there once a week just to have it in the house. Be sure to transfer from the environmentally friendly container they provide to glass.

It’s location downtown is great but honestly it was low caliber Med food. I’ve lived in the E Med and so have unfair expectations perhaps. Our shawarma was dry and cold. Chicken with fattoush salad was embarrassing. They clearly don’t know what fattoush is. The sandwiches were so dry I went up and asked for some tahini. None of the staff knew what it was. Imagine. If you want the real thing, go to Pita House on Wealthy St. There you’ll meet people from the E Mediterranean who really know their food.
