Parsley Modern Mediterranean

The food here was fantastic!
The falafels were the best I’ve ever had! The falafels had the triple win of excellent texture, flavor & temperature!
The hummus was ultra smooth!
The babaganoush was the best I’ve ever had! It seemed very fresh with a perfect blend of garlic and eggplant flavors!
The weakest part of the meal was the pita bread. They were fine, but nothing special. It just seemed like store bought pitas heated in a toaster. (Thus 4 stars instead of 5.)

Always getting the falafel bowl with tzatziki. I hated falafel since 2005 until I tried it here.

Great service, and the food is generally pretty good. One suggestion would be to lower the amount of salt in the Hummus, it’s overwhelming.

I’m going to keep this short because my food is getting cold. Fast friendly service with delicious fresh food.

Love this place! Since moving here from NY, I haven’t really found a Mediterranean place that was satisfactory but this is pretty great. The veggies are super fresh and the chicken is never dry. We ordered a shish kabob chicken bowl, a chicken wrap, and a falafel plate.
The falafel was perfectly crunchy and their tzatziki sauce paired with it beautifully.
My mom took one look at the wrap and said she would only eat half. However, she enjoyed it so much she finished all of it anyway. My husband also enjoyed the shish kabob plate and even though he’s not a big fan of veggies, he scarfed it all down.
This place would have definitely been 5 stars if it weren’t for the service. Out of the three ladies that were there, only one was nice and helpful. The cashier with curly hair was extremely rude and kept asking if I wanted anything else while I was still giving my order to her coworker. I’d still go back though!

Horrible horrible service. Asked a few questions and got kurt unhelpful answers. Shouted because I asked for more tomatoes on my salad. Told everything costs extra. They mix up the salad in advance so you don’t get to customize without paying more. When I even questioned this the first words out of the employees mouth were «call the manager.»
Food is just ok. meager portions and not customizable. And a big B from the health department on the wall.
look at my other reviews I am not some brittle person but this is over the top. Waiting for a call from the manager. If they make it right I will update.

What a great find! Clean delicious med. food.
Great vegan and veggie options. The portions are generous. I’ve started going here once a week because I start to crave it.
I usually get the falafel salad with tahini.
The sampler platter is great if you want to try other extras! You basically get to choose 6 different options. The grape leaves are delicious and a must have!

Parsley has found itself as one of my regular visits for lunch lately. I hate how everyone, including myself refers to a restaurant as «Chipotle style» but yes, essentially it’s like Chipotle with Greek food. You pick a wrap, salad, bowl, etc, a protein (chicken, beef, falafel) then a bunch of fixins.
I generally am the type who tries new things every other visit, even if I find something I like. At Parsley I’ve pretty much stuck to the exact same order each time I’ve frequented: Red Quinoa salad with added chicken (costs extra), and then I add the spicy carrots, some of the green sauce (everyone’s got a green sauce nowadays), and some tahini. The salad mix that you start with is fairly standard with lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, tomato with some garbanzo beans mixed in. The vinaigrette as I’ve seen others state is mild, but tasty. If you know nothing about red quinoa then we’re in the same boat, and there’s a list of health benefits that Parsley advertises that I can neither confirm nor deny, but I mean it’s quinoa, so I can’t imagine there’s any sort of deception there right? To be honest it doesn’t add much more flavor than one would expect some scoops of quinoa would add to a salad, which is why the carnivore in me always has to add chicken as well. I would prefer to do the chicken Kabob style vs Shawarma style but it does take quite a bit longer for them to cook the kabobs vs just cutting it right off the giant spinning hunk of meat, so time wins that battle. Side note: the amount of different spellings of shawarma within the photos and reviews of this place are hysterical. It’s 2016 people, no excuse. Anyhow, all of these components combine to form an extremely delicious salad, and there are enough options to satisfy anyone I would think [tzatziki instead of tahini, feta/​olives/​hummus options, fiery red sauce (BEWARE) over milder green sauce (which also packs a kick), etc]
The only downsides for me are sometimes the service seems a bit rushed. It’s always friendly, but I feel that sometimes my salad ends up with the person at the end of the assembly line before I can finish with the additions I wanted from the first person. They get busy and want to stress the quickness factor which I understand. Also I have a few times ordered a double order of chicken, and what I’ve received has been inconsistent. Sometimes it’s a giant heap of chicken, and other times it doesn’t seem much different from the single. Lastly some of the extras that you can add include an upcharge that I wish didn’t. Feta and olives to be exact. It’s especially frustrating for me because I really only want a tiny bit of each but don’t want to pay the extra charge for the large amount they give you. I realize it’s a slippery slope for them though. Minor grievances to what has always ended up being a fantastic meal.
One pro tip before I go: if you want to indulge in either of the sauces, ask for them to give it in a separate container instead of having them put it directly in the bowl. Much easier to distribute according to your own tastes that way.

This was my second time eating here, it was awesome. I brought the boo here to try it and she loved it.
The girls behind the counter were an amazing help. I redeemed a Groupon offer, they knew exactly what it was and how to execute it. They let us try samples and helped us through the long decision making process.
Lastly, the food was delicious. We had a chicken/​beef curry bowl, and the beef/​chicken that rotates on the spit and parsley fries. Mmmmm. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it, the They give you so much for you money it’s like getting two meals for one.
I definitely recommend this place!

I’ve driven by this spot so many times and mentally noted a future stop. Today I was trying to think of a good spot to grab food since I was on my own for dinner. Parsley came to mind since it was on the way home and would be healthier than many other options.
The shop features large boards above the ordering area outlining the various food options. I did have to ask what was included in a beef kabob bowl versus a beef kabob plate (they are the same). I decided on a Beef Kabob bowl, Hummus, and Baklava. At this time I was also warned that the kabob would be a 10 minute wait. It wasn’t a big deal since I was told ahead of time. Next visit I’ll probably call in my order now that I know the lead time.
The Beef Kabob plate was really good. The beef kabob was tender and full of delicious seasoning. There was also a lot of meat included. The salad was fresh and had a really refreshing, light dressing on it. The rice was simple, but delicious. It worked really well mixed in with the salad. The tzatziki dressing on top was tasty and didn’t drown the other flavors. The bowl came together like a Mediterranean version of a Chipotle bowl. The hummus was creamy and delicious with soft pita on the side. The baklava was pretty good too. All of the food I enjoyed tasted fresh.
The food was inexpensive. My bowl was around $ 9 and had plenty of food for a satisfying meal. The side and dessert were inexpensive as well.

Food always taste good. The staff is a little hard to understand. Wasn’t happy about the crumbs they gave us when we ordered pita chips :(there was about 5 large chips and then this…

This place is right down the street from where I work so I decided to give it a try. I got the chicken bowl which was surprisingly big in portion. There were lots of big fresh Mediterranean flavors which I love. And you can choose the toppings for your salad which is nice. My only negative comment would be that the chicken was slightly overcooked, but great flavor. I will be going back to try their other items as well.

I had the shawarma the first time I went and really liked it but they kind of over did it with the dressing.
Next time I went they put it on the side and much better. Love how fresh their food is.

Found this spot on Groupon. $ 8 for $ 16 worth. You can get a combo for only $ 9. It was delicious! Customer service was great! Girls were very knowledgeable about the food. I was given recommendations, took her advice and the steak plate was very good!
I will be coming back more often!

Everyone back in SoCal has been going crazy over The Halal Guys but I don’t think these two places are that much different from each other (minus the hot sauce and white sauce from The Halal guys).
I bought a $ 16 voucher on groupon (paid $ 7.50 because of a coupon code) and ended up paying $ 2 out of pocket for a beef and chicken bowl.
What’s the difference between a bowl and a plate? The girl working told us that the plate separates everything while a bowl has salad first then rice, whatever veggies you put on and then the meat.
The salad had a light vinegrette dressing on it, not sure what it was but it definitely wasn’t heavy. The salad we got looked fresh and not all wilted. I asked the girl working what people can put in their bowls and she said pickled carrots, cabbage, and garbanzo beans. I love their picked carrots! Ask for them on the side because you’ll get more that way. We didn’t, and they were so stingy with the carrots! I was afraid they weren’t going to give us a lot of meat because of the way she was cutting the meat but it turned out to be a good amount. They have two different sauces, one is a cucumber sauce and the other is a sesame sauce… Not sure what the names were but I got both sauces. My friend and I both liked the cucumber one more, the sesame one was kind of plain for us. But you can try both and see which one you like better. If you want hot sauce, just ask for it and they’ll give it to you.
Without the groupon the beef/​chicken plates or bowls would be $ 8.99. They have some vegetarian and vegan options too and good deals on Tuesdays.

First time here and I was very impressed. Loved the parsely fries, hummus, chicken and the falafel was off the hook. Loved it all. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing food! I go here at least once a week. Love there steak bowl and baklava. Very professional and great customer service. Would recommend to anyone.

I love this place. Eating healthy no carb lunch while truly enjoying it is rare and truly a challenge!
Parsley allows me to enjoy a chicken salad.
I strongly recommend the place!
I love to order a chicken salad with an addition of one spoon of humus and one spoon of egg plant salad.
Their wraps and falafel is also great.
A good restaurant.

I happened to stumble upon this place as I searched ‘healthy’ on Unilocal.I loved that it has vegan and vegetarian options, as I have been feeling that I’ve been eating to much meat lately so this was a nice change. It is a grab and go which is perfect for the ones on a quick time crunch. The place is very clean and friendly. It was nice to see that after every customer, the employee would wash their hands. It gave me a sense of relief.
I ordered the falafel salad, which was made fresh. It was not soggy and you had the option of adding additional toppings for $ 1 extra.
The reason I ranked it 4 star is because the menu did not list the ingredients of each menu item. I had to kept asking the staff, which were helpful, but would have been nice to see it while staring at the menu.

Just tried this place today, absolutely FABULOUS!!! Also the customer service was excellent with an incredible happy atmosphere!!! I’ll definitely return

Used to be one of my favorite places. Now none of the employees speak English and its a terrible annoyance to try and get what you want.

Vegans elate! Parsley offers a groovy selection of vegan Mediterranean options to satisfy your Mediterranean munchies. The falafel are absolutely divine — among the best in town. Also, the red/​green sauces are delicious, especially because the red is so spicy! Definitely recommend.

Here, we tried the falafel, chicken curry over rice, and chicken wrap with everything. My oh my, everything was amazing! They put together everything in front of you and it all taste so fresh! There was only one older lady working for a moment and she was hustling and persistent! She was slicing the meat, putting the food together, cashiering, and in to help us, then the lady behind us (who wasn’t so polite, & we all know handling impolite people takes patience and time). Amazing! I always enjoy watching hard workers. Not to mention the food was great.
The only reason I give this ⁴⁄₅ stars is I saw another person «working» but she didn’t seem to be of much help nor did her customer service seem to be up to par. She was kind of forgetful. She had to ask my wife a few times if she wanted wheat or white bread for her wrap, but thank goodness the First Lady I mentioned made up for it all. Do try this place!

Really disappointing 12 $ greek chicken salad sorry guys. Worst I’ve ever had actually. Like the other review said the chicken tasted really old, overdone, and maybe even rotten :/
The tahini dressing was also really gross which is weird because tahini is delicious?!
Also feta cheese was not included and was an additional $ 1 –_​– which is pretty sheisty in my opinion. I think a $ 10 salad should include cheese. So they taxed extra for cheese and veggies that are normally included and gave me old ass chicken. Merp. For these reasons they get a bad review and hopefully they see this and stop serving people old crusty chicken. Someone could get sick
Positives*
Friendly customer service
Unlike the chicken the veggies and salad seemed pretty fresh

We love it here and eat here frequently. The food is fresh, the prices great and the service is good. After 10 – 20 visit see still have never had a complaint. Try it out if you haven’t yet!

Ordered for delivery
Pita was hard as a rock
the chicken was overdone, chewy & tasted rotten so we could not eat it
the falafel was underseasoned
the salad was soggy and the lettuce was black
This had good reviews we were excited to try it but ended up regretting it.

I ended up stopping here spontaneously and did not know what to expect, but I will for sure be returning. My friend and I ordered the appetizers of baba ghanoush and hummus with pita bread. They were both amazing, although I preferred the baba ghanoush. The prices are great too, and the hummus cost and portion size is comparable to what’s in a regular health food store, but Parsley’s is fresher and better.

I came here after hearing so much about it from a couple of friends and I was in the mood for Mediterranean, so I decided to come check them out.
It was such a hassle trying to find the place. I even walked in to a different restaurant, thanks Google maps fail! Haha. But after finding the restaurant I decided to go right in.
I ordered the Chicken Curry and a side of hummus and pita chips.
Chicken Curry — ⁴⁄₅
The flavor was ok. I wasn’t a big fan of it, but I wasn’t unimpressed either. The flavor, although ok, felt like it was lacking something… that extra oomph that would make me want to come back and try something else on their menu. On the bright side, the Asian in Mr enjoyed the saffron rice more than the main entrée itself, so I’ll give them that. Rice was fluffy and not soggy. The rice was the saving grace of this dish.
Hummus and Pita Chips — ⁴⁄₅
No matter where I go and try different forms of hummus, I will always be critical because I have been spoiled by a fellow coworker and friend’s hummus. Yes I understand that Tahini is part of the ingredient but I am very partial to garbanzo beans. I want to taste the garbanzo and tahini working together, not just straight out tahini. And yes I am an avid salt user but the pita chips had to give me pause as it was a little bit too much salt for me.
If the craving for Mediterranean hits me again, this will not be the first thing that pops in to my mind. But if I’m in the area doing errands, I will definitely give them a try again.

I’ll admit the only reason I came here was because 1. I had a Groupon for them (Quick, buy the Groupon before you come in!) 2. My yoga studio offered 10% off all orders (Whooo Modo Yoga!) AND I AM SO GLAD I DID.
The menu at Parsley is simple– bowl, plate or salad then choose your meat. They also have an appetizer and specialty menu– the curry and nachos are good! Always choose steak, always choose Tzatziki.
My only complaint is that when we ordered chicken curry they offered us half chicken and half steak so that we could «try both curries.» We expected the two curries to be put on opposite sides, but instead they put the curries on top of eachother… like, directly on top of eachother. So if you do get ask for half and half, make sure you specify that you want them separated haha. I’m still confused.
The curries are spicy, ask for a sample before you commit!
The steak bowl is like a Chipotle bowl, but with Tzatziki instead of salsa and yellow rice instead of white. Same concept of ordering.

I stopped into this place out of pure convenience yesterday. I happened to be sitting right in front of it when I did a search for vegan food in Vegas. So I asked myself, «Why not?».
I was greeted by a friendly, smiling man; the one in the video. It’s a small, casual place but seemed very clean. It’s set up sort of like a Subway. I wasn’t familiar with some of the choices so they gave me a taste of a few different options and reassured me several times that what they served me had no animal products in it. (I did notice that there were meat options available)
I opted for a Falafel bowl, which was 6 falafel patties on a bed of rice over fresh greens. I chose sides of babaganoush, cucumber, tomato and a small bit of tabouli, all topped with a creamy tahini dressing. It was a huge lunch, but it was a wonderful blend of fresh flavors.
I can’t wait to go back again!
If you haven’t been here, you should definitely give it a try.

I love this place, it is wonderful! The vegetarian sampler plate is my favorite, but how do you decide? I love their stuffed grape leaves, and if I could buy them by the dozen I would. The falafel is also very good. The amount of food and the quality of the food is fantastic, and then with the low price they charge, it is a WIN/​WIN/​WIN!
A shout out to the staff! Friendly, helpful and offer great suggestions on what to choose. Oh, and when they mean «Spicey» about the carrots, they aren’t kidding lol.

I had the vegetarian sampler plate– AMAAAZING!!! I’ve always loved it here, just wish it wasn’t so far from me now
Deffff got my money’s worth, it was so filling and delicious. I’ll be back for lunch real soon!

I wish there is more than 5 stats to give you.
I really liked the food, bread, fresh made from scratch hummus and bread .
Since I moved over here in the state I was locking for authentic food like that.
I am from Middle East and I can recommend that with close eyes .
They gave a small tiny modern. Kick to the traditional food without any compromise In taste
Consider it as chipotle for middle eastern food but very authentic
I do recommend humus sharwerma bowl with some fried eggplant. I tried it wit tahini, I would say try it better with Greek zasiki.
My wife had chicken shawarma and was great also
I will write this review in different languages since I love both food and languages ;) lol
Para empezar soy Árabe y me gusta comer todo. Este lugar fantástico y muy original. El pan es fresco hecho adentro y tiene blanco y integral. A mi me gusta el segundo mas. Es mi fijo parece hasta una tortilla mexicana grande. Pero sabe diferente .
El humus es fresco hecho en casa y también la shawarma (el pincho redondo de pollo y carne)
La gente son amable y muy servicial. Hasta John el americano blanco habla español (mi respeto John) ere súper amable .
Usted puede compartir tal vez el plato mezclado con su pareja porque son generosos y servían bastante .
Yo soy comilón. Lo comí casi solo. Loooool
Tuve en Vegas 2 experiencias una excelente de este sitio y otra pésima de un restaurante Indo a lo cual escribí también una

I found the need to update my review because I find myself loving this place every time I come in here. This is a 5 star place, not 4 like my original review.
The food quality hasn’t changed any time I’ve been here, the people behind the counter have always been pleasant, the baklava is great, and the extra dollar in price always ends up being worth it.
My recommendation: chicken or steak bowl with all the extra veggies on it (cucumbers, chickpeas, tomatoes, carrots), feta cheese, and extra sauce. That and a baklava roll and you’re in heaven.

I did a search on Unilocal for a gyro and this place came up. Problem is, they don’t have gyros!
Parsley is WAY overpriced. It’s a Mediterranean Chipotle where you wait in line and throw together your meal and then charge your more than a sit-​down type restaurant.
When they ask you if you want olives, feta, etc. in your wrap or bowl they never mention that it costs extra! This should be stated and not used as a surprise up sell tactic to ambush your patrons with.
The meat was way too salty but the veggies were fresh and the wrap was decent. Their $ 4 fries sucked and I won’t be back.
