stellar israeli food
This place is great authentic israeli food. I'm israeli and whenever i crave shakshuka or hummus foul i always go to or order out from hummus place. They have olives (yummy) and pita for every table. Service is pretty good but the waiters are young and not always super attentive. Sometimes if you sit near the door in the winter you'll get a draft but in the summertime the front is a great spot to sit and chat with a friend. The Falafel is super delicious and is served as an appetizer. Definitely go for their lunch specials. Also the lemonade with mint is the way to go!

Good food, poorest service
The food is good and inexpensive. But the place literally had the poorest service in the city. On multiple occasions it has taken over 30 minutes to just get hummus.

Amazing hummus - but they've changed
Like everyone else who has commented, I'm in love with this place and order from them several times a week. Not only is the hummus unreal, but several of the dishes on the newly expanded menu are equally as fresh and tasty. The service is always friendly and warm. But, like everyone says, they've recently cut the portions in half and have started charging for things they used to offer for free. Yr food is amazing, the business is clearly doing well - give your customers a break. We're loyal, and we'd be even more so if you treat us fair... :)

Not recommended
I called for take out and the person who answered kept saying "what?!" loudly while loud music played in the backround. I checked my phone on another call and it worked fine. I called back Hummus Place and another person answered. When I said I wanted to order delivery he said "hold on" and had me wait after he put the down with the same loud music playing in the backround. The first woman who answered came back on the phone and said something must be wrong with my phone. She was very rude and they were both unprofessional. Makes me not want to order from them again.

Good hummus but
Dine here frequently due to one location being next to my work and another location one block from my apartment. Other than a couple Middle Eastern restaurants, this is the best hummus I've ever consumed (have consumed it at hundreds of different restaurants.) The texture is smooth and creamy, the flavor excellent, and the freshness can't be beat (the hummus is constantly made throughout the day.) The side dishes on the other hand need some work. The grape leaves are the canned grape leaves that come from Turkey or Greece. You'd expect homemade for the price you are paying (3 dollars for four mini dolmas.) The health salad (cucumber and tomato) is ok, nothing special. It'd be nice to see an improvement on their side dishes as well as a price reduction. Speaking of price, all locations provided free pickles for years and then suddenly started charging for them. Another qualm I have is that if you order hummus for $5.99, the pita bread is free. If you order the 3 sides for $8.95, the pita costs extra. They should be providing the pita free for that option. Reason being, some people want some vegetables with their meal. A small hummus with two veggie sides, whole wheat pita is a perfectly balanced and nutritious meal but it will cost you additional for the pita and now an added cost for the pickles as well. While hummus is extremely healthy (packed with fiber, good carbs, good fats in tahini), unfortunately they offer cheese (high saturated fats) with eggs. This is not a problem, I don't expect every restaurant to offer only healthy foods. However, sign and menu discusses how healthy the food is. Well, it is if you order the hummus but not if you order two eggs with cheese melted on top. Criticisms aside, it remains one of the best places to get hummus and a healthy meal for around 12 dollars or less.

Great Humus, extra charges :-/
I love the humus at this place. I order here all the time and it's the BEST! Buuuut, for the past 5 months the attitude from staff and value at this eatery have steadily declined. The portions have dwindled to about half, and as another reviewer said they add all sorts of extra charges for things other restaurants will simply give for free (ie. pine nuts, egg, pita, olives?! 3 dollars?!). I am about to order from here again, because the humus is so damn good. I'll let you know.
