Little Sesame - Washington

I used to come to this restaurant before the pandemic, so it has been 2 and a half years since my last visit. I ordered the chicken hummus bowl, which used to be one of my favorites, but I was disappointed in the quality and quantity. The amount of hummus and chicken in the bowl was only half of what was offered before the pandemic, despite now costing $15 after tax. The flavor was also lacking and one-dimensional. What used to be a bold and flavorful dish is now bland. I feel like I was taken advantage of based on what I paid for this meal.

I had heard from multiple people that this was the best pita place in Washington, so I decided to check it out. The restaurant had a beautifully decorated interior that made me want to linger. The sandwich I ordered was top-notch and served quickly. Although the price was a bit on the higher side, it was definitely worth it for the experience.

The menu was underwhelming with only cauliflower and chicken options, lacking traditional shawarma. The wait times were exceptionally long, with two sandwiches ordered 22 minutes ago and still waiting. There were over 40 people inside waiting as well. Overall rating downgraded to 1 star.

Maybe I ordered the wrong dish. The pitas are packed so you aren?t getting a whole lot of bread. In my opinion, the cauliflower pita lacked seasoning. It tasted mostly like tahini. Maybe the other pitas are better. I could still try this place again if I?m in the area.

When I visited last, the only side option was a cucumber salad and I was hoping for something a bit more hearty on the side. If you get a pita sandwich and a side, it'll run you close to $17 which is standard for the area but the amount of food you get here doesn't compare to other spots nearby. I loved my meal, but left feeling hungry after my lunch. Overall, a
