Little Sesame: Reviews & Ratings
This store, food and service all out of this world! The staff couldnt be more friendly, and customer service is top notch! Clearly run wellthey know what they are doing! OhAND the food is incredible!
Ordered delivery from this restaurant today. Ive been wanting to try there dishes after buying their hummus from Whole Foods ...
Little Sesame was already our favorite hummus to buy in stores, but wowzer the restaurant did not disappoint! Also, the person working at the counter, Zeke, was so kind to our little kiddo as she wandered around the place.
Heard from several people being the best pitta in Washington, so I decided to make a stop. ...
Good comfort food on a rainy day. I am so glad I work near a location again. I had a standard chicken hummus bowl. If you are new to Little Sesame, the hummus bowls seem very limited in portion but they are filling. The food is fresh and you get it quickly for a midday break.
Little Sesame has a basic menu of mostly vegetarian pita sandwiches and hummus bowls mixed with grilled vegetables. They have grilled chicken options for both the pita and bowls. Simple menu but good, filling dishes. Worth a stop for lunch if youre craving hummus.
Went here cause I wanted to try something local. The salad was around 13 and the shawarma bowl was 13.90. It was delicious, only Cons are that there was a hair in the salad and the music was a little loud. It is cashless!
Such good hummus!! Never had better. The focal point of little sesame is the hummus. Its the main, not the side! Try both the bowls and the pitas. So good. Also try the tahini soft serve. It is amazing! ...
