Dill & Parsley

Very clean and spacious establishment. We got in shortly after they opened so everything looked fresh. Service was ok ..just ok. I was surprised we were the only two, but when we left it was a full house! The food is pretty good and satisfying while not leaving me feeling stuffed. I really needed a "healthy break"

The food is really good and fresh. They have many Mediterranean protein-rich options. Food is organic and natural cooking The portion is large, I couldn't finish my bowl The beef is very delicious and the sides are all good The seating area is cute and spacious

Fantastic vegetarian Mediterranean food! I was shocked by the enormous portions provided. If you enjoy spicy food I HIGHLY recommend getting the Marash sauce on the side! Will definitely be returning!

Came here for dinner. The falafel bowl is well-priced for a lot of food. The ingredients were fresh. It wasn’t blow your mind delicious but very good. Dill & Parlsey is like The Mediterranean version of Chipotle or a cross between a Dig and a Cava. The seats are a little beat up.

Nice place for a work lunch or for tourists. We tried beef+lamb version of pita and wrap and both were very tasty. Portions are pretty big. Important: choose the spicy option only if you really like spicy food.

I felt sick after eating here. Should have asked for my money back. The food was seriously disgusting. It also didn’t help that the employees were a miserable bunch and not friendly at all. My friend ordered the falafel and it was raw. I ordered a bowl and the baba ganoush was inedible. The vegetables tasted like they had been sitting in a fridge for a week. Don’t eat here. Your money and stomach will thank you.

Food is delicious, service is quick & easy! Great place to stop for lunch, the mini bowl is the perfect size for me & I love that I can get falafel & delicious mushroom as my protein. Great price & perfect portion! They even have Limonata, my fav drink, as an option.

Bad pickup experience! I ordered one hour in advance where I clearly chose the option of picking up at 11:55. On going there, the cashier ignored me, then gave me a vague response saying that someone is working on it. On asking him how long it would take, he mentioned he didn’t know and threw some random number. I came back in 10 mins and he told me that it was still being prepared and that it would take more time. I waited for a few more minutes and only when I went back and stood there was when someone started working on my order. Seemed like they were prioritising walk ins but I would’ve really appreciated them promptly working on my order and communicating properly. This is the first and last time that I visit this place.

This is one of those places that some people, like me, abstain from because it's not rated 4 stars and there are so many 4 star rated places that I still need to experience.  However, going through the reviews for this place, it appears that it got off to a rough start (just sort by the lowest ratings and you will see that most of those poor reviews are from a few years back).  Recent reviews give more praise to this Dill & Parsley location, so I gave this place a shot and ordered delivery tonight. I ordered a custom bowl with Chicken Doner atop a bed of mixed greens and potatoes accompanied with hummus and red cabbage along with some tahini sauce...I also ordered portobello mushrooms on the side. The mushrooms were grilled and marinated with, I think, a balsamic dressing and were very tasty alone (without any tahini dressing).  There was a good amount of hummus and the taste was average.  The red cabbage salad had a very light dressing, but just enough to provide some contrast when I needed it.  The potatoes were like mini home fries and it was tempting to put some ketchup on it, but the tahini sauce and the  hummus served as perfect combos.  The mixed greens did not stand out, but just were there.  The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3, ultimately, was based on the Chicken Doner, which was was perfectly seasoned and tasted very good...additionally, I finished everything!  Going by the historical reviews, this place has definitely improved from a few years ago and makes a great effort in putting out a good product!

I don't as craving a good falafel salad again went out for another quest and found this spot and decided to try it. It's a fast food chain where you can choose the sides and the proteins for your bowl and viola! I got the spicy falafel which they fried in the spot so I waited about 3 minutes, got the mixed greens, kales rice, red cabbage, humus, cucumber salad, tahini sauce. It's a usual casual dine in or take out spot. The ingredients were good and fresh, and the service was quick. I took my order to go but there was seating available. I like it, but the falafel and the mix of it all wasn't comparatively memorable.

Looks permanently closed-in a closed building. Not there! Absent. Pushing up the daisies.

I decided to give this spot a try with a colleague and we were not a fan. It's a healthy alternative to Mediterranean food, but this just wasn't it. Either it's too healthy or the taste/flavor of whatever I built for the bowl just wasn't it. Will be sticking to CAVA.

Great fresh food and surprisingly affordable for NYC. Loved their bowl combos with meatballs and mushrooms. Everything was very fresh and tasty.

Another place for quick Mediterranean food. It has a line to pick your own fillings and then they make it. Dill & Parsley is a good place if you don't have that much time. Ordering is easy. There's a choice of bowl, pita, or wrap. Fast is a good description of the service here. It doesn't take much time to get your order. This is one of those pick your own stuff kind of places. At the counter you order what kind of meal you'll get. You can get a bowl, pita, or wrap. It really is pretty simple. They have choices of protein. Among these are meats like chicken, but there's also vegetarian choices like falafel. The last time here I got the falafel in a pita. It's about $7.58 and you can put as many vegetables on it as you feel like. They won't charge extra for all these. Maybe the only bad thing is that the portions are kind of small when compared to other places like it. This is good if you aren't starving. It has good and speedily made food. Prices are okay. There's a few other locations around Manhattan so it's easy to get to.

3.5 stars for these no antibiotics/no hormones proteins. I would've rounded this up to a four had I not been the unlucky one to get the fatty but dry pieces of chicken in my entree. This is not my first time grabbing lunch here but based on the inconsistencies, I'm keeping this rating. Lines can get long at this midtown spot on Third Ave. But it moves, as i honestly need the time just to read the menu board to make a decision. Very clean and well managed - I just got unlucky like I said, with my protein. The cabbage slaw and yogurt sauce are quite good. It's definitely a nice sized lunch set (you get to choose rice or veggies).

Wow! so delicious and great service. No annoying music either. Excellent value for the price - I might even sign up for the rewards program

I ordered from this place before with no problem but today I found a metal piece of what looks like a staple inside my beef cava dish This is actually dangerous

I had a chicken wrap, it was very big and filling (I'm over 200lbs). Cost with drink $14+. Worth it.

This spot is doing pretty much all togo business these days. It's a go-to midtown lunch spot, so a good amount of their business was takeout even before the pandemic. The portion sizes are absolutely massive and I've always enjoyed the variety of tastes included on any plate. I will say, although they do their staples well, I don't think the menu has changed much in the time I've been going to the chain (a few years). I would love to see some more seasonal options. Also they still serve takeout in plastic clamshells The staff is always pretty nice.. but they kinda give off the vibe that you interrupted their day with your order. I find this pretty comical, but that's just me.

Dill & Parsley was a new discovery during one of my lunch meet ups and I think it's soon going to be my usual, for really comforting homelike Mediterranean food. Unlike other salad/bowl places, this place had fresh and light ingredients, with generous toppings: 2 bases+ 1 warm topping+ 1 protein+2 sides and unlimited sauces (wow). I got the Wheat rice (base) with grilled portobello (protein), eggplant & veggies (warm topping) with cauliflower, tahini and hummus. My colleague got the White rice (base), spicy falafel (protein), eggplant & veggies (warm topping) with cauliflower and spicy marash sauce. Both were really good! Highly recommended

Surprised that the rating is so low. I tried three different items on my visit to NY and all were amazing. Got two different variations of the veg bowl and the falafel pita. Not so much traditional middle eastern style but really good. All items were amazing. Good option for vegetarians. NY is lucky to have such a great chain. As far as the place, fits around 30 people. Atmosphere is clean and crisp. I believe they had Wifi. Worth a visit. I'm adding it to my NY collection.

Ordered delivery. Really enjoyed the food, it had a lot of flavor and felt pretty healthy versus other delivery options. Got the falafel bowl, the falafel was fine, and mixed together with the rest of the bowl it was pretty delicious. Good healthyish option and solid delivery experience.

Solid place to get Chipotle-style Mediterranean food especially when your other favorite places (hi Ess-A-Bagel) has a super long line. You definitely get plenty of food for a decent - tho bit pricey - value. One thing I realized is that the base bowl and regular bowl isn't that huge of a price differential, so I'd probably go with the bigger one from a value perspective. I get the falafel option and add a bunch of veggies, hummus, and the roasted red pepper sauce (clutch). Everything tasted fresh and I had no complaints. I'll be back for sure.

I'm shocked by the 3.5 star rating for Dill & Parsley because the bowl I had for lunch today was not only delicious but incredibly filling to the point where I couldn't finish it. I work down the street from D&P and my co-worker did not enthusiastically recommend this place to me. Especially after seeing the just ok rating on yelp I had fairly low expectations. But then I walked in around 12:30 and saw a line and thought okay this place must be decent if the line is this long, right ? I was beyond surprised by how flavorful and well spiced my food was. I ordered a bowl with white rice, the tomato & cucumber salad with the pulled beef, babaganoush, kale and cabbage. Typically, you can only get two sides but the server was kind enough to let me get a third for my first visit. For dressings, I got the spicy red sauce with the yogurt dill. I'm a sauce girl so it was the combination of these two sauces will all the other flavors that seriously sealed the deal for me. I took a bite without it at first and it wasn't the same. I also love babaganoush and I would say this was decent but not as flavorful on its own but with the beef, rice, and sauces it helped to mellow all of the flavors at once a bit. D&P will definitely be added to my list of go-to lunch spots. I will probably try the mini bowl next since I couldn't even finish the regular bowl !

One star, only because I can't put zero. Placed order on website, show up 15 minutes later and they are closed, almost 30 mins before they are supposed to be closed. Woman that answered door couldn't speak English but managed to say that nobody is here. Left voicemail, no call back, sent email, no response. Unprofessional doesn't begin to describe my experience.

Wandering about the city and I was famished when it had already passed dinner time and I needed to head to the subway for a long commute. I walked by, it looked good, so in I went. FINALLY! A MEDITERRANEAN CHIPOTLE-STYLE RESTAURANT HAS MADE IT TO NEW YORK! I've eaten at these types of places in other cities so I'm so glad it's finally here! The thing about Dill & Parsley is that it's a lunch spot, and I, stupidly, came here for dinner and wondered why I was still hungry after I ate everything...smaller portions. Don't get me wrong though, the food is good! It's fresh and tasty, and they have a lot of variety to mix-and-match to your craving's content. Side note: was not a fan of the babaganouj, but the hummus is great. The prices are really good too!

I met up with a friend for lunch in Manhattan and we stumbled upon Dill & Parsley which sounded really promising but unfortunately I was not too impressed. The flavor was just not there, and the vegetables were not fresh and were cut sloppily with the lettuce stems mixed into the salad. The staff was kind of rude, (and I am used to New Yorkers, this was not just the usual NY city moodiness) and seemed to be annoyed by my questions about the different topping and options. With so many good places in the city, do not bother with this one.

Pleasantly surprised by Dill & Parsley. It's another Chipotle-style place but with Turkish food. I had a classic beef and lamb doner bowl with rice, the BEST potatoes, tomato sauce, and yogurt sauce. Everything went so well together. A nice portion size as well. Can't wait to come back.

how's this place still open? stingy with portions, over priced compared to other options around and/or similar food like naya. not that great either, below average...

Came here for lunch on a Thursday. Was lucky to get in line before the rush hit. Not that it mattered that much since the service is quick. Think Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. There's a good amount of seating, both high tops and low tables, so good for a small group. It's a lot bigger than you'd think, especially given the area. I got the falafel plate. I believe you have the option to choose a base and whatever 7 toppings you want. It's a great place for those who want to completely customize their lunch. They are pretty generous with the toppings as well. You get a good amount of food, I couldn't even finish all of it. 3 stars because I just didn't like it. I felt that all the food options were piled on top of each other and I couldn't really tell you what tasted like what. Nothing in particular blew my mind. TL,DR: I personally didn't like it but good price for the amount of food you get.

Came in and ordered a bowl with chicken and various assorted vegetables. When I went to pay it was $18. There is no signage indicating that 1) mushrooms are considered a protein, so when I got chicken I was charged for double protein and 2) you can only get 5 toppings otherwise everything is charged as an extra.... Feels very deceptive. Would not recommend.

Update: Love the new compartmentalized containers! Management offered a meal on the house since I did not enjoy the ratios of meat to sauce last time. The new boxes keep the food fresh and hot for delivery and are perfectly proportioned! The lamb/beef, string beans and red lentil are my personal favorites. Thanks to D&P for friendly, prompt, professional service and delicious food!

If I could give 0 starts I would. This place is extremely unsanitary and disgusting. Sadly, there was a ROCK yes, a ROCK in my food. I almost broke my tooth and choked. When I went back the worker advised there was no manager on site. I will be contacting NYC Department of Health. There's no explanation that is sufficient finding a ROCK in my food. Unfortunately because this food is served buffet style I cannot pin point exactly where it came from but for anyone who is wondering I had a bowl with wheat Rice, all natural chicken doner, beef strips, superfood salad, broccoli, feta cheese, and the yogurt and dill topping.

I ordered a bowl with chicken and nearly all toppings. I despised the kale and bean salad (I'm not a fan of kale, but theirs is exceptionally bad). My meal was decent. While I was being served by the "interesting" assembly line (more on that later), I was asked if I wanted hummus. After agreeing to received it, my eyebrows raised in horror as a metric ton of hummus was plopped on my platter. There was more hummus than rice, meat, and all the veg combined. There was more hummus on my plate than blood in my body. Luckily, the lady that gave me some yummy sauces was sweet and super friendly. Another employee, earlier in the assembly line, would do well to stop rolling her eyes at the customers and roll us some bread instead (for the extra hummus). Why take a job in customer service if you hate it that much? Even the cashier was rude. Where did they hire these people, the gutter? (P.S.: Don't get the baklava. It's not great, especially when you pay $3.24 and the cashier is snapping at you about whether you want a single or double piece of nothing worth having.)

Ordered a falafel burrito with spicy hummus, lentil & lettuce.. sooo good & flavorful

I had a great experience at this Dill & Parsley. I had a bowl with the beef tava which was incredibly good. I was helped by Issa. He was so kind with helping me choose the ingredients to create my bowl and answered all my questions about the food. So friendly and professional. 5 stars for his service. The veggies (cauliflower, eggplant, greens, mushrooms, etc.), were all fresh. The little baklava dessert was also tasty. I will definitely go back to this location. Thank you Issa. And thank you to the cook for the good food. Cheers! JËRËJËF :)

Amazing food and service! Had the pleasure working with Sunny via phone after initially making an order online. Visited from out of town and wanted to invite some friends over for dinner and this restaurant got everything we needed and more! Chicken donor, hummus, pita, variety of sides for 10 people with bowls/serving spoons/utensils/ napkins and very well packaged! I ordered added 4 servings of beef donor but there was so much more, definitely hooked it up. No stress of running short of food. Thank you!!

I can't believe I'm missing this chain! This branch is right on the corner where we live. I love Mediterranean food but I never knew this is it. I always thought it's just a salad place. Somehow I checked it and I tried it and I will not depart! Its like chipotle type but Mediterranean! Chicken or beef are delicious! The hummus is better than the babaganoush. This is so much better than chipotle tho!

Tourist or local, if you are in the area, visit Dill & Parsley. It is hands down one of the best eateries in the area and is very well prices for the quality of food you are getting. My wife and I had been looking everywhere for falafel. We didn't want to buy it from a cart (overpriced and poor quality) and GRK didn't offer a vegetarian/vegan option. We had heard great things about Dill and finally found it on our last day. They give you many different options (carnivore, vegetarian, and vegan alike) to customize your wrap, bowl, or pita. The food was fresh and tasted great. Superb service and great decor. Overall, a great experience.

Overpriced with tiny portions. Not worth it. I was charged 6 dollars for three tiny dry falafel balls.

First time here, told the girl it was the first time and she didn't explain anything to me like what is this liquid you are asking me if I want? Idk? Overall better falafel in the area with better customer service probably won't go back

I go there regularly and I just love the food. The Chicken doner is my favorite with the wheat rice and their Shepard salad and spicy hummus is amazing. Service is great and the lady that serves me is always super nice. Thank you Nancy!!!

*MEALPASS This review is based on my meal that I ordered through MEALPASS. For those who don't know about MEALPASS, I would describe it as a lunch subscription service where you pay a set amount ($120/month) to get 5 meals a week from different restaurants in the area. You choose the MEALPASS dish and pick up at the designated time. The MEALPASS dish was described as having portobello mushrooms, hummus, potatoes, salad and dressing. I showed up and luckily got to avoid the long line as I went straight to the register and told them I was picking up from MEALPASS. They asked my name and gave me my meal. I've ate here before and in general the portions have always been pretty generous, even the small bowls are overstuffed and leave you full. I was very surprised at the small amount of food that came in my meal. It seemed that they put in the absolute smallest amount of each ingredient as possible. I am typically a slow eater and don't like huge portions but I was done with my measly meal in less than 5 minutes and still hungry! This was very disappointing since I've had the food here and I know their portions are normally good. I really like the food here and it was nice that I didn't have to wait in the long line, but the amount of food was disappointing.

Stumbled upon this place after my job moved to midtown east. I was so glad that I did because this place is great! My usual is a bowl, which consists of 2 starches, 1 meat, and 2 vegetables. You have tons of choices and it all tastes delicious...and more importantly fresh! The staff is very friendly and its not too expensive for the area. If I had to complain about something, it would be the seating arrangement. The stools (low tables) are placed too close together and aren't the most comfortable. Other than that....thumbs up!!! Service - 4 Food - 4 Decor/Layout - 3.25 Price - $15 pp

I was so excited about my bowl because it looked so delicious. Pros: - Great portion, decent price - Tasty ingredients Cons: - Had to dock a star because some of the ingredients were completely undercooked. My white rice was mushy and hard at the same time, the beans were also hard (like refrigerated). They really need to get this right.

If you want your food handled with the same gloves as your cash, by all means, eat here. I work around the corner so this location is really convenient considering I love Mediterranean food, but they always disappoint. I've LITERALLY had to call the same guy out twice for visibly handling cash, then reaching to grab my pita bread. THAT'S GROSS AND CAUSES ILLNESS! And to add insult to injury, the guy sucks his teeth and gets an attitude each time I call him out. I brought it up to management the first time, but obviously no corrective action was taken. Food handling is apparently dead...customer service is dead...quality is dead. Until they get rid of that employee AND get their employees trained in food handling I can't bring myself to solicit this business any longer. I'll also be informing my employees of the potential health risks Dill & Parsley presents.

Good new lunch spot to try. Fresh ingredients and good food but wouldn't be a regular here. Food: Chicken Bowl w/ Hummus: Food was great definitely not bad. I would def recommend this place for someone to try. I just don't like the portions too much as they put a lot of sauce on half the bowl and the chicken and rice isn't really enough for a nice lunch. Overall: Good spot. They overdo it on the hummus and red lentil that I ordered but its FRESH so go for it.

Ordered from here and had the food delivered. Hey look what I found in my potato in veggies! A metal fastener? Absolutely unacceptable. Food overall tasted bad too. Stay away from this place unless you want to eat food with metal screws in it. Update: They were nice enough to send a replacement bowl along with pita and Pellegrino after calling me and explaining that one of the bolts had fallen off their meat cutter. Nice gesture but I will not be back.

I saw all the great reviews for this place so decided to come here after my cycling class on Saturday. This place is like a Mediterranean version of Dig Inn and pretty good for what it is. At Dill & Parsley you have your pick of chicken, lamb or veg on rice, salad or both. I chose to have the chicken over salad and rice with the eggplant sauce, kales & beets and babganoush. Literally ALL my favorite flavors were in this dish. It was bright, well seasoned, spicy and earthy all at the same time. What a satisfying lunch after a long work out class! I'd definitely come here again for a quick and healthy lunch.

Good quick healthy lunch place. So essentially you select a base (rice/veggie) and start to build your bowl. I personally like my warm eggplant plus kale/bean plus the string beans option, especially with the help of spicy sauce requested on the side. It seems like the pulled pork is a more popular meat option than my chicken. Line was moving very fast and food reasonably priced - I will be back for sure.

Dill & Parsley is my go-to lunch spot. Ever since this location has opened up, I try to come here once a week during lunch. It's that good. I've pretty much had everything on their menu outside of their wraps.Portions are large. and the meat to base ratio is good. Tell them to go easy on the sauce as they dump those on but they are real good. My go to for lunch is the Base Bowl. The normal bowl is just too much for lunch and impedes on my ability to do work in the afternoon (LOL). My order is as follows: 1. Base: Potato & Veggies, Lettuce, Wheat Rice 2. Protein: Chicken Doner 3. Sides: Spaghetti Squash Salad & String Beans 4. Dressing: Yogurt & Dill, Tahani For Beginners - this should be your order above. It's heaven. Price - A little more expensive than Digg Inn or Little Beet but oh so worth it! Bottom Line: Just do it. You'll thank me later.

I've walked by so many times and now that I've tried them, D&P has become a regular on my rotation. It's so quick and easy to get a delicious, healthy meal for less than the cost of a salad. My favorite is the chicken bowl with a base of rice, multiple vegetables with yogurt sauce. I love bowl meals which I can customize. The staff has always been courteous and professional. I just joined their loyalty program.

A spacious Mediterranean lunch spot with an easy-to-walk-past storefront promises an all-natural, healthy lunch option that seem to be influenced by the likes of GRK and Naya Express. Bowls and wraps start with a veggie/grain base, a protein/veggie main and two sides items. As a Mediterranean cuisine fanatic, I'll be the first to jump all over the concept with open arms. However, some items are solid (portabello mushroom and kale salads), the rest are average. The falafel was bland and could add a bit more crisp while the eggplant salad also uninteresting. The space is cold and uninviting so takeout is your best bet. With GRK and Naya Express being much closer to the workplace, I am not convinced I need to walk the extra five blocks for a food concept that is better in theory than in practice.

Absolutely delicious. We had this for lunch during a long day of being at a fitness workshop so we all walked in totally starving. I didn't want a bowl so I got a pita pocket with lettuce, chicken and hummus. I also got the table a side of falafel. My collegue said it was the best falafel she's ever had and I concurred. Great lunch, filling and healthy AND they have several locations in Manhattan. Enjoy!

Have been here a few times when working in the area. The food is just OK. You can see what they're going for...a Mediterranean Chipotle. Trouble is, it's clumsy, confusing and inefficient. The cliche "keep it simple, stupid" comes to mind every time I've been. The pricing, the silly names, and then the lack of description and identity of the sides and add-ons. I'll probably return, but it can be frustrating and I've never been really happy with what I've ordered.

Great food healthy and delicious. Staff great answered all my questions the first time I went there. And we're just as nice for next time.

Another busy day at the office and needed to order food for my team. I ordered the chicken donor, portobello, white rice, veggies, something like 40 base servings for a 11:45am delivery. Guess what happened? more people wanted to get in on our order, not only did they put a rush on it, the deliveries were back to back seamlessly. Everyone raved about the food and great service. Thanks D&P guys
