California Chickpea Chain Hummus Republic Is Coming to Houston | Eater Houston

"This California-based chain obsessed with its namesake dish is planning a Texas expansion, with two locations reportedly in Houston (Space City) in addition to planned outposts in Austin and Dallas; exact addresses and an opening timeline have not been announced. Hummus is the focal point, offered in four varieties — including versions spiked with spicy harissa or Kalamata olives — and serves as the base for build-your-own bowls and wraps. Guests start by choosing a base (organic wheat pilaf, garbanzo beans, or salad), then pick up to three hummus styles before loading bowls with proteins and mix-ins such as falafel, vegan “beef,” or chicken shawarma, and toppings like feta, tabbouleh, diced beets, and fried chickpeas." - Amy McCarthy
