"Hum’oveh is a vibrant new concept combining the flavors of the Middle East with the highest-quality, freshest ingredients. Inspired by Middle Eastern street food, mouthwatering stuffed flatbreads take centerstage at Hum’oveh alongside hearty entrée platters. Grilled to crispy perfection and loaded with savory fillings like spiced beef, marinated chicken, or feta and spinach, Hum’oveh’s “M’Anoush” sandwiches pack a satisfying punch. The beef, chicken shish kebab and other chef-prepared meats meanwhile put a fresh, new spin on the protein bowl. A vegetarian’s delight, Hum’oveh also features delectable mezze such as spicy feta dip, hummus, and eggplant dip."

"The bb.q in our name stands for "Best of the Best Quality", and that's exactly what you can expect from every one of our restaurants. Our Korean fried chicken🍗 is crispier, juicier, and more tender than anything you've tasted before, and our sauces provide an eclectic mix of flavor. Every dish is the result of both longstanding Korean tradition and modern research and development from our very own Chicken University. It's a tremendous amount of work, but it's all worth it when you take that first bite."
