A Little Chef story

Our
Kitchen.

Mediterranean tradition. A neighborhood market in Washington Township. Five years and counting.

Little Chef opened in March 2020 — right as the world was shutting down for COVID-19. We've been here ever since, serving our neighborhood from a 1,500 sqft kitchen and Mediterranean market on Pascack Road.

That's the foundation Little Chef was built on. Not a business plan or a profit model — care, translated into food. Every decision, from the first menu to the last loaf of pita baked on a busy Saturday, flows from that same place.

Everything you taste, we'd serve from our own kitchen.

— The kitchen at Little Chef

Years of restaurant experience anchor the kitchen. We've cooked and catered for friends and the neighborhood long before the doors opened — and it was the overwhelming positive reactions that sparked the idea. What if we did this for everyone?

Five years later, we're still here. Still making everything fresh. Still serving our community with the warmth of a kitchen built on tradition — and a shelf of imported spices at the entrance, ready for anyone who walks in wanting a piece of the Mediterranean to take home.

The Market

A Mediterranean market
inside the restaurant.

Walk into Little Chef and you'll find more than a restaurant. Lining the walls are shelves of imported Mediterranean products — spices and za'atar blends, bottles of olive oil, jars of tahini, boxes of baklava, and halal meats from our own cooler.
