Creative MediterrAsian spot with friendly service, standout prawns and curries, modest portions, and occasional service slowdowns; best for those seeking variety beyond classic Greek fare.
The Little Green Rocket delivers solid A-grade performance through strong food quality anchored by standout prawns, curries, and desserts, paired with warm, attentive service. Consistency shows some variation—occasional seasoning imbalances and modest portions relative to pricing—while tight seating during peak hours prevents the experience from reaching grade A territory. The creative MediterrAsian fusion approach and pleasant coastal setting make it a worthwhile neighborhood destination, though not a must-visit landmark.
The Little Green Rocket hums with a cozy, seaside-in-Parikia energy where service is often warm and attentive. Guests talk about vibrant plates and cocktails, with one noting the team "guided us through specials with care." It is a popular stop when you want something different from classic taverna fare, though at peak times you may feel the room buzz and bustle. The cooking leans MediterrAsian: prawns and salmon skewers with sweet-savory glazes, a lemongrass shrimp curry, maki rolls, and seasonal specials. Expect a creative, fusion-forward approach more than purist Thai or sushi; most dishes are lively, while a few diners found sushi average or sauces a touch sweet. Desserts, especially the coffee-bourbon panna cotta, win frequent praise. Families can do well here thanks to familiar options like breaded chicken with mash, wings, tortilla "burgers," and the tortilla pizza. There are several vegetarian choices and at least one vegan salad, but fully vegan mains are limited. If your crew prefers very traditional Greek plates, consider this a fun detour rather than a substitute.
