Fast-Casual Mediterranean Chain Hummus Republic Is Opening in Austin | Eater Austin

"A Los Angeles–based fast-casual Mediterranean chain planning to open three Austin locations (addresses and opening dates not yet announced). The concept centers on customizable bowls, salads, and pitas built from grains and greens with mix-ins like cheese, olives, and pickled vegetables, and a strong emphasis on hummus offered in varieties from traditional to harissa and roasted eggplant. Protein choices range from meats and vegetables to falafel and a vegan beef alternative; standout menu items include a vegan Earth Burger, sweet potato fries, and tahini shakes available in chocolate, beet, and spinach‑mint. Founded in 2013, the brand has been expanding nationally with new locations planned or opening in markets such as Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia (already opened), Las Vegas, Arizona, Oregon, and Ohio." - Nadia Chaudhury
