The 38 Essential Tel Aviv Restaurants

"Far from fancy and always loud, but this place knows its hummus. For over 50 years, Abu Hassan has been the go­-to joint for this creamy chickpea staple. Mix-and­-match a fifty-fifty split of hummus and masabacha — a revved­-up version with warm, whole chickpeas on top. Be sure to arrive before 3 p.m., or risk missing out on this must-­try delight.

Lightest, fluffiest & really tasty hummus (for sure one of the best ones we’ever had) - both the normal and the mashabacha one. Falafel were extremely good, same goes for the lemonade. Cheap, fast eats at its finest! Long queue, fast sitting and (probably) table sharing in most cases. Good staff, and while the place felt a little noisy and hectic, that also adds to the experience! A great find!

The service is very friendly and super fast. They are all so sweet at the restaurant and very helpful when we had to take the stroller inside as there were no tables available outside. We told the person it was our first time, he asked us if we had any allergies and ordered for us. Just be aware that their portion size is big and 1 order of hummus should do for a group of 4. As expected it was all melt in your mouth goodness! It’s just .4 miles ~9 minutes walk to the clock tower.

Typically Arabic hospitality - people shouting, very welcoming and honest. The food was excellent even though I thought their foul need more salt. Their lemonade was the best I’ve ever had and the prices are fair. I would give more star if there was some kind of music. Highly recommend!

Abu Hassan is the single best hummus restaurant in Tel Aviv. It is simple, quick, and amazingly tasty. The hummus is so tasty, in fact, that you’re unlikely to even notice the sub-optimal service. Don’t overstay at your tables though; when you finish, get moving so others can have their turn at hummus.

In my search for inexpensive, but not giving up to quality, restaurants, I found this place after finishing a walking tour in Jaffa. I ordered the masabacha (with egg) and four pieces of falafel, and a glass of lemonade. The masabacha was a great surprise, try it if you want something a bit different from regular hummus. Service is fast, and you can pay with card.

A highlight of our trip to Tel Aviv! They only serve hummus, but boy is it good! This place is recommended by Lonely Planet as having the "best hummus in the world," but it is refreshingly low-key. Service is rough, but that's part of the charm! We loved our hummus and will have fond memories of Ali Caravan.

I took ful complet (hummus, broadbeans, tahina, egg). Prices are reasnable (about 35 i think), food is good but not wow and onions wernt even peeled!. The place is very noisy, just like there original branch in panorama street was. A waiter was resting at one end of our bench, toilet seat was wet, lighting is harsh. Alrogether not a pleasant place to eat but allways full owing to its popularity in the guided. There are many better humus joints ..

Wow! Absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is fast and loud, and made for a unique experience. We were able to be seated right away. Service was quick, basic, and got the job done but wasn't exceptional. The food was amazing, the pita was fresh tasty, the hummus smooth and creamy. Definitely worth a visit!
