Second best hummus outside Israel, delicious soft white pita breads , best sweet potato fries I ever had. You cant go wrong with the chicken skewers - they are cooked to the perfect taste, amazing!

Tiago Ferreira

I'm vegetarian and I've been in the Bay Area for a couple of weeks. I can easily say that this was the best food I've had so far.

Ari Friedland

order the chicken skewers . they are ah-mazing! best item on the menu. perfectly cooked and super duper delicious. if you're really hungry (or sharing), make it a double order. you'll be happy you did.

Montana Fleming

Chicken skewers - always juicy - try it with quinoa & sweet potatoes fries - 5 Stars hummus Great service, this guys R always in a good move. May B is the brazilian chillout music . I simply ❤ bon app????

Elisa

Babaganoush and hummus . Outdoor seating is beautiful! It’s nice that you no longer have to cram in the indoor area. They have a quick to-go area if it’s too busy.

Kul Wadhwa

Great food. Share the hummus b/c just getting that will completely fill your stomach. The place also gets very crowded so get there early.

Nathalie Stravers

We tried Hummus for dinner here and they were really very good. I am no expert in Hummus but I could say that their hummus were not dry as we tried at other place

Try Israeli salad as a sider. They probably import most of their ingredients, it was absolutely the most authentic Israeli food experience I've ever had in California.

Ally Kazmucha

Amazing hummus . Get a few things to share tapas style . Falafel is some of the best I've ever had.

Donovan Dasher

The chicken pita sandwich is great for lunch , just be sure to grab extra napkins! This place is crazy busy for lunch , and there's not much room to wait for a to-go order.

Ariana Faustini

By far the best hummus this side of the globe. Try the sides. Hummus , felafel, Moroccan carrots , marinated beets and of course the fresh hot pitas . Do it.

Alex Pak

This is life changing hummus . The beef hummus is amazing and the falafel is delicious as well . The pita isn't all that great though and I'd give the nod to the white pita over the wheat.

Vy Nguyen

In addition to hummus , shakshuka and rice bowl are good, cheap and filling. Gluten free veggie basket to dip in hummus available on request.

Nicholas Scott

Grab some to go! Breeze past the line and head to the back of the shop to select your pre-made hummus (and other spreads). They will ring you up at the register in the back near the kitchen.

Travis Bloom

The BEST Israeli food I've had in the US. Everything is amazing so don't worry about getting the wrong thing. Get a Goldstar ????

Jason Sigal

Very good and authentic Israeli cuisine ... have a Good Star beer (imported from Israel) to help wash it all down!

Ashley Yue

Mashed eggplants for side fish , hummus+chicken skewers for main course. Food comes fast and it's packed during lunch hours.

James Miao

Everything is the best. My regular is the chicken skewers with hummus and the Israeli chopped salad . Sweet potato fries are excellent, too.

Stephany

Get the rice bowl with chicken and a side of hummus !

Benjy Weinberger

Fun fact: the wifi password, "abuhassan", is the name of a famous Tel Aviv hummus restaurant .

Ayse Dibek

Amazing selection of humus and generous portions as well . Also try the labheh

Rahim Hashim

Lamb hummus , lebane, and especially the beef skewer are some of the best in the Bay Area. Wholly recommend!

Ro J

Chicken skewers and mozy's rice bowl . And hummus of course. Can't go wrong with this place. Doesn't get more authentic than this.

Ari Friedland

chickpeas imported from Israel = best hummus in the valley. by a looooong shot. and the pita (both white and wheat) is warm, soft and a perfect complement.

Mayank Mahajan

Get the pita sandwiches ! I like the Orens. If you're in a group definitely get a hummus platter to share.

Edward Gonzales

The hummus of course was outstanding. The portions were generous. The chicken skewers pair up well with the hummus .

Andrew Sandler

Amazing food. Always busy. Wait times aren't too long. if you can't stand it you can always place a to go order in the back.

Ole B

I had their hummus in different location and for some reason it taste differently. Tell the DJ at the kitchen to stop messing with the mix. Otherwise, it aight

Hui Sun

We had eggplant hummus and beef skewer . Definitely amazing!

Xande Macedo

Their wifi password is named after one of the best hummus shops in Israel: Abu Hasan

Tom Maxwell

Delicious falafel pita sandwich , great mint tea . The courteous staff here cares about customer satisfaction but wasn't too pushy.

Maya Z

The best humus in the Bay Area . Worth the wait or better - take away to eat in the park near by.

Frederik

Hummus and grilled beef/lamb is awesome. Try out the great freshly made lemonade , did not like the mixed starters - they were too liquid and too similar.

Katie Yamada

Hummus and unlimited pita are a must, as well as the schnitzel and everything else on the menu!

Caroline Deng

The sweet potato fries are so good!! So is the Oren's Pita Sandwich

Daniel

The chicken skewer is super juicy and tasty! Great hummus and middle Eastern appetizers

Heidi McIntosh

I love there rice and there pita bread is great. I also love there chicken and cooked vegetables .

mistermedici

Get the whole wheat pita chicken sandwich . All the goodness of hummus + succulent chicken cubes + ever so little spicy garlic sauce(upon request) = one happy you :)

Madhusmita Palo

Insanely good hummus !!! Must try. Falafel is decent & pita is warm & soft. Also, the hot sauce is to die for.

Chad B

Their rice bowl with grilled chicken was pretty yummy and under $15.

Garry Tan

The chicken skewers are top notch. Get it with a double order of hummus and you're set.

Rem Koning

Appetizers/small plates are super flavorful. Great eggplant . Labane. Sauces. And weirdly, sweet potato fries .

Karine Hsu

love this place. there are usually super long lines but it's definitely worth the wait.

Ash Sethi

Get the sampler! That and a skewer omg you'll be in heaven. The carrots are a must try, best carrots I ever had

H. Colbert (@hrsch)

Get the counter in the front for some of the best people watching in Palo Alto.

Hummus here is wicked. Never had this good hummus in western hemisphere when you take Istanbul as origin.

Adelle Charles

Great happy hour from 3-5, half price wines and a ton of hummus and sampler platters .

Ben Russo

Grab their hummus or other delicious sides to go. And some of their fresh pita bread !
