I had handed Parsley & Mint in downtown Greenville just a few instances as it’s straight throughout from Falls Park however had by no means tried it.

The remainder of the menu

None of our dishes had been that spicy so in case you are frightened of overpowering spice, don’t be. Or in case you actually love spicy meals, you’ll be able to ask them to kick it up a notch.

Additionally they have grilled rooster sandwiches, falafal, rooster salad, lamb kofta, garlic shrimp, crimson lentil and curry soup, pork chops, and even scallops served over Swamp Rabbit Cafe’s well-known stecca bread.
