Reviews The Hummus Bar & Grill

We have been to Hummus Bar & Grill several times, and I think the food here is pretty good. Sometimes it is a hit-or-a-miss, and this is something you need to be aware of when going here. You could either have a wonderful meal (as many reviews show) or you might end up disappointed with some of the dishes you order. I have had quite a few different menu items here, and here are my thoughts: the hummus here is amazing. I have absolutely no complaints, and if you get the hummus with beef or mushrooms it’s even more amazing! This is a must when visiting. They bring out a massive pita bread - soft, warm, crunchy on the edges and slightly chewy in the middle - and you could have 10 of these, they’re addicting. Another dish that is out-of-this-world is the Earthy Baladi Eggplant - I don’t like eggplant at all (never would willingly order it), but the way they prepare this is just amazing. It doesn’t taste like eggplant at all, and the sweet flavor is just awesome. This is another thing you should definitely order. There are many more things I could recommend, but I generally have found the appetizers, specialty plates and salads to be consistently better than other things on the menu. Rice is great (es expected). Their Liver & Onions is really good if you enjoy this type of dish (I have family who always gets this and they say it’s really good - better than most places), and most beef dishes are really good as well. They know how to cook beef here!! I haven’t tried other meats like their lamb and Merguez sausages yet, so I can’t comment on them (though I’d assume they would be good as well based off other reviews), but the chicken is less-than-spectacular in my opinion. For instance, I recently got the chicken shawarma, and it was very bland, dry, and just tasted like a bunch of shredded chicken with little spice on a plate. I can’t recommend this dish - definitely get something else other than the chicken shawarma. There could be better chicken dishes, but I’ve just stuck with beef and had a much better time. All in all, this is still a solid place. The chicken dishes might not be the best (and it’s entirely possible I’ve just had them on off-days and they’re not representative of what the restaurant normally cooks), but many other things on the menu make up for it - I definitely would say Hummus Bar & Grill is worth going to, especially if you’re craving Israeli food/Mediterranean food. I will continue to visit and I will continue to revise my review as I try more things!

I’m always on the lookout for incredible hummus and shawarma. And did I find BOTH here at Hummus Bar & Grill. I had the shawarma hummus plate and it was EXACTLY what I was craving. Creamy fresh hummus with tasty chicken shawarma on top. I am in heaven. The restaurant is also incredibly clean with a kind and attentive staff. The pita bread was bigger than my plate and so delicious. I enjoyed the complimentary pickles and cabbage salad served when I first sat town. I also found it to be reasonably priced for all that I received. A visit to Hummus Bar & Grill will not disappoint.

🥙🍞🚗🌟 Strutted into this Israeli gem and, whoa, flavor explosion! Those kabobs? They do the job. But the star of the show? Those ginormous Laffa breads that keep rolling out like a red carpet – and for free, until you wave the white flag! Dive into a smorgasbord of sides that pair like a dream with your food or Laffa. And the hummus? Smooth operator right there. Calling all veggies, this joint's got your back! Parking's a breeze, right next door. Choose your dining destiny, from indoors to alfresco. But a heads up: leaving without a happy food baby? Impossible!

The food was amazing!!! Such a great experience of flavors and yumminess. I went with my sister and we shared a skewer plate with sides and an order of hummus. We had plenty to eat and went home with leftovers. If you're in the area I definitely recommend it and I will surely return!

Service 3/5 Taste 5/5 Price 4/5 Menu/options 4/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Probably the best Mediterranean place I've ever tried. The mushroom hummus is to die for; I could not believe how it good was. The falafel was also really good and fresh. I've never had a falafel taste as clean and fresh as that one. They complimentary sour veggies, olives, and freshly done pita bread. If you're vegetarian/vegan this is a great place because there are a lot of options. I do not recommend the schnitzel because it was nothing out of the ordinary. Their menu is a bit on the pricier side but it is well worth it due to their extremely large portions.

The food here is the best Mediterranean food I've ever eaten, Levan freshly made, mushroom hummus with plenty of grilled onions, entrees were all excellent and more than enough even for the heartiest appetite, a little pricey but I feel worth it.

As is in the name, the hummus here is absolutely amazing. I've had the beef and mushroom hummus, that's what keeps me coming here. All the other dishes, middle eastern style, are very good but nothing that stands out too much. Unlimited free pita bread is phenomenal as well.

The best Israeli/Middle Eastern restaurant in town. PERIOD! Their homemade giant pitas are amazing, as is all their delicious selections. Sit inside or out.

My favorite take out spot when I'm in Los Angeles! In my opinion, they have the best hummus around. I wish they allowed you to take the dips to go! Those are so good.

Great food, great place. The bread is the best, didn't like the hummas because it was filled with chickpeas water! The kabob was tasty but the plate looked odly empty!

The Hummus Bar & Grill is the best Mediterranean restaurant in the valley! I’ve been coming here for five years now and the food is always SO amazing and consistent. The atmosphere is also amazing, very relaxing with good music playing and friendly servers. The Hummus with mushrooms is to die for, and the filet skewers are so tender! I love all of their food but those are two of my favorites. The beet salad (pictured below) is also incredible! They have a kids menu, salads, fish, sliders and a ton of other options! Highly recommend!

The hummus is amazing! As is the rest of the food. The bread whether pita or laffa is freshly made right here and is incredible. My favorite is the mushroom hummus and shawarma with the french fries and Israeli salad.

Best Israeli food in the United States period. Nothing even compares. This is the most accurate Israeli food in America - all the flavors and dishes are there.

Stopped here on a whim after seeing what was open on my way home from LAX. My goodness!!! I’m an extremely picky eater and the food was beyond anything I could have hoped for. So good that I even ordered takeout for tomorrow on my way out. Amir, our server was wonderful and answered all of my many questions with a smile. He made the experience beyond great. I couldn’t be more grateful to have stopped here and I’ll most definitely be back for more. Hint hint.. their specialty plates rock!!

Food here is delicious, no doubt about it. Their mushroom and pine nut hummus are so good. Bread always comes out fresh. Meats are tender. I definitely would give the food 5 stars. The reason I docked a star is because of service. We come to Hummus Bar pretty regularly and every time we come, we have to flag down a waiter because no one comes to check in on us once we place our food order. I completely understand that restaurants are short staffed due to covid but it doesn't make for a good dining experience when you only see your waiter 2 times, once to welcome you and once to take your order. It's frustrating when you're waiting on refills on your drink and more bread for your hummus for more than 15 mins.
