"Specialising in chickpea dip hasn’t proved fortuitous in 2018, but surely, hopefully, this restaurant is too good to fail? Dark wood decor and cheesy Americana beer signs don’t initially suggest greatness, and booking a table is essentially impossible (answering the phone is not a Hummus Bar strong point). But turn up on a hope and a prayer and they might reluctantly let you sit for what is probably the best hummus outside of the Middle East, submerged in a lake of tahini and topped with falafel, mushrooms, salt beef or, er, ground beef and BBQ sauce, ‘sloppy joe’ style." - Frankie McCoy
