I can run geth console to get a command line interface spawned after launching geth. Similar also works for eth.
I tried parity console but that didn't work out.
~ $ parity console
Invalid arguments.
Usage:
parity daemon <pid-file> [options]
parity account (new | list) [options]
parity [options]
Is there anything like that available for parity?

we don't yet have a javascript interface, however it should be possible to use eth console or geth console to connect to a running parity client
i haven't tried that yet, though...
running parity --geth allows to use eth attach or geth attach to spawn a console.
parity --geth. You can attach console to a vanilla parity without geth compatibility mode, at least in 1.6.5.

Fatal: Unable to attach to remote geth: dial unix /Users/jikkujose/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc: connect: no such file or directory. Do I need to specify custom path?

Not yet possible as this issue here suggests.
ethconsole depends on IPC, which will be available as of Civility (1.1).
geth attach only lets you use webjs methods at the moment. By using nodejs console with @parity/api package you can access parity methods.
Install package globally and launch concole :
$ npm install @parity/api
$ node
On node console use parity package :

>const api = new Api(provider);
// eg. use api.parity.addReservedPeer method
>api.parity.addReservedPeer("enode://d64d5f74b1715c525dc88e87a52eca1574c09593ed29401d205ecfef9fbfe52fa308f966bab3a5966da1bb74212fecdb328cddceb572c38b536c597166784347@203080240034.static.ctinets.com:35423").then((data)=> {console.log(data)})
