Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Hummus Plate was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Little Parlor has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Spanakopita but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Solid spot. The Greek Salad is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Falafel Wrap hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
