8 Israeli Restaurants to Try Along the Valley’s Kosher Corridor - Eater LA

"A feast at Hummus Bar and Grill might be the closest to Israel you can get in Los Angeles. Not only are your server and most patrons speaking Hebrew, but the food here is as fresh and flavorful as anything you’ll find along Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv." - Oren Peleg

15 Soulful Shakshukas to Try Around Los Angeles, 2017 Edition | Eater LA

"Hummus Bar and Grill is the full Israeli experience: servers that seem like they just finished their stint in the IDF, Hebrew spoken all around, and shakshuka that’s as authentic as any beyond the shores of the Mediterranean. The stew is heightened with a kick of spiciness, and balanced with the sweetness of the roasted vegetables. Order a side of Merguez sausage for added spice and meatiness, otherwise, use the warm pita to sop up whatever’s left." - Oren Peleg

Not a self-serve buffet, but the refillable mezze set acts like one: a parade of salads and dips that keeps coming alongside skewers and grilled mains. Endorsed by The Infatuation and listed on menus as “Keep ’Em Coming” assortments.

We got there at 5 PM and hardly anyone was there, so obviously the food was super fresh, Hummus was awesome! The nan was great. The saute mushrooms, oh my goodness, unbelievable. If you want Mediterranean, I totally recommend it.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Hummus Bar & Grill! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and the mouthwatering aroma of freshly grilled meats and baked pita. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming—perfect for a casual night out or a special gathering. I ordered the mushroom hummus and the Jerusalem mix, and both were absolutely delicious. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, and the meats were perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. The complimentary salad spread was a wonderful surprise—fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, and everything came out quickly despite how busy it was. You can tell the staff really cares about the food and the customer experience. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Mediterranean cuisine!

Warm laffa bread and a parade of little salads start the meal. The skewers come off the grill with nice char and seasoning. Staff keeps refilling sides if you ask. It’s lively but not too loud. Great for groups who like to share

We had a fantastic experience at this place! The service was excellent, and everything was fresh and hot. The hummus was delicious, and you could tell it was made with quality ingredients. The place is very popular—we barely managed to get a spot at the bar. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food and a lively atmosphere!

We have been to Hummus Bar & Grill several times, and I think the food here is pretty good. Sometimes it is a hit-or-a-miss, and this is something you need to be aware of when going here. You could either have a wonderful meal (as many reviews show) or you might end up disappointed with some of the dishes you order. I have had quite a few different menu items here, and here are my thoughts: the hummus here is amazing. I have absolutely no complaints, and if you get the hummus with beef or mushrooms it’s even more amazing! This is a must when visiting. They bring out a massive pita bread - soft, warm, crunchy on the edges and slightly chewy in the middle - and you could have 10 of these, they’re addicting. Another dish that is out-of-this-world is the Earthy Baladi Eggplant - I don’t like eggplant at all (never would willingly order it), but the way they prepare this is just amazing. It doesn’t taste like eggplant at all, and the sweet flavor is just awesome. This is another thing you should definitely order. There are many more things I could recommend, but I generally have found the appetizers, specialty plates and salads to be consistently better than other things on the menu. Rice is great (es expected). Their Liver & Onions is really good if you enjoy this type of dish (I have family who always gets this and they say it’s really good - better than most places), and most beef dishes are really good as well. They know how to cook beef here!! I haven’t tried other meats like their lamb and Merguez sausages yet, so I can’t comment on them (though I’d assume they would be good as well based off other reviews), but the chicken is less-than-spectacular in my opinion. For instance, I recently got the chicken shawarma, and it was very bland, dry, and just tasted like a bunch of shredded chicken with little spice on a plate. I can’t recommend this dish - definitely get something else other than the chicken shawarma. There could be better chicken dishes, but I’ve just stuck with beef and had a much better time. All in all, this is still a solid place. The chicken dishes might not be the best (and it’s entirely possible I’ve just had them on off-days and they’re not representative of what the restaurant normally cooks), but many other things on the menu make up for it - I definitely would say Hummus Bar & Grill is worth going to, especially if you’re craving Israeli food/Mediterranean food. I will continue to visit and I will continue to revise my review as I try more things!

The food was amazing. Great portions and everything was full of flavor. The service at the end of the night left much to be desired. When we first got there the servers were attentive and the service was quick. However it took us nearly 30 minutes at the end of the night to get our check, which is why I'm leaving this review. I get it, it can be busy near closing but we were one of the only tables left seated inside. My dad called out to the servers multiple times every few minutes, and even had to wave his arms and raise his voice but it seemed like every server ignored us. It wasn't even that loud inside. This went on for what seemed like forever until someone stopped by and we asked for boxes and the check. She brought by boxes but another 10 minutes passed before we had to wave her down again for the check. Again I get it, it gets busy and everyone's doing their own thing. But my dad and I were proactive in trying to wave people down, and none of them spared us a glance at the end of the night. I've never really had that happen to me at a restaurant before. Great food, questionable service.

There is a large Israeli population in Tarzana and Hummus Bar & Grill could be the reason. Delicious food and kind people make HB&G a comfort and a joy. The chicken kabobs were fall-off-the-bone juicy and the seasoning perfection. The salads are delicious, authentic and satisfying. I can't wait to try the lamb and the filet. There is no doubt that it will all be scrumptious. The outdoor seating is in a parking lot but the sounds of Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic will make you feel as if you are on vacation in a cosmopolitan town. The servers treat customers like family. Dogs are welcome and a big appetite is encouraged.

I love this place and I'm excited to try their breakfast. The hummus is light and creamy. The small salads are a great way to taste and sample this cuisine. The chopped liver is one of my favorites and I've even ordered it for High Jewish holidays to save me the chore of making it. When they bring the freshly made laffah bread, plain is customary, but ask for the zaatar one for a savory treat. The dinner portions can be large so be prepared for leftovers or to share.

Normally I rave about this place. The pita bread though was surprisingly flat this time, no fluff. The roasted eggplant was so so. My girlfriend said it was just as good always but this time it didn't do anything for me. But the mushroom hummus is still one of the all time great dishes.

10/8/2024 - This is a Middle Eastern cuisine restaurant. I like the hot Pita and Chef's Shakshuka. The Lamb Skew (two for $44.00 displayed or one at $29.00) is tender, but no taste. The overall experience rating is 3.5 star. All staff are friendly, especially the manager.

Most of my past memories of the Hummus Bar and Grill have been good ones. So, it was time to return to try my regular favorites. We started with the House Hummus ($18), that comes with complimentary Laffa bread and pickles. The bread was good as usual, but the Hummus was superb with perfect viscosity that blended well with its flavor. We asked for more Laffa and later realized it was billed as $2 extra. Then, from the small bites menu, came the Falafel Plate (8 small pieces for $14) and tahini. The falafel was crisp on the outside and had a mixture of tastes on the inside, prepared well and always never disappointing. For the main, the MiddleEastern Kabab (2 skewers for $40) came out with tahini sauce. The kababs were well constructed, grilled optimally, had good color, char taste and were succulent with a pungent mixture of well balanced spices. While all the food was satisfying, what tainted the experience was the sub standard service. Servers were hard to find and flag down for basics of water refills, extra utensils and the like. Requests had to be made repeatedly with the resulting demeanor being indifference. Dialogues were abrupt and bordering on arrogance. So tell me, what is the point of serving excellent food if it is delivered in an unfriendly and impersonal manner?

The food and service here were absolutely incredible. My friends and I showed up during rush hour without a reservation, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us as quickly as possible. The host and waitstaff were extremely friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

I just went to that very famous Israeli spot: it is not kosher, but it is so delicious! In the heart of Tarzana: you get the best Israeli flavors! I met my friend at 1:30 PM on Saturday and it was so crowded ; Patrons were all over the terrace outside, it was a pretty weather! We had to bottomless small Israeli salads accompanied by each hour meal : my friend had the grilled chicken breast skewer, and I had my regular Romanian Kebab. This is my favorite of all very Gardy and delicious ground beef. Each tray comes with two sides.: I had the white cabbage and the veggies rice. Never disappoints Highly recommended

I was here to celebrate my friend's birthday on 3/11/24. She came once before many years ago and wanted to go back. According to my friend, they have best freshly made bread. The bread was soft and fluffy. It taste great with hummus. The bread was eaten quickly and had to order another one. It was not crowded when we first came in. Then it got super busy during the rush lunch hours. The restaurant has a nice decor. They have dining seating inside and outside. They have plenty of parking and underground. Ordered: My order - Chicken Shawarma- 2 sides dishes - Vegetable rice and Smash Potatoes - Chicken was fresh and flavorful. The food was very generous. Iced Limonana - Minty delicious drink. My friend's order - Mushroom Hummus and Laffa Bread. Dessert - Bavarian Cream - It was very light and in perfect sweet flavor. Don't forget to check-in to get one of the three free desserts.

Let's start with why I'm knocking off a star: I have eaten here multiple times and I keep ordering the same thing- chicken schnitzel in laffa. 1. The laffa is phenomenal and if anything you should get some for the table. 2. No matter how I tell them what I do or don't want in my laffa, they always get it wrong. There's gotta be a better way to take these orders! Perhaps a paper that the customer fills out and checks off which items to include? With that being said- the food is always very good and the fries are to die for. They have a kosher kitchen in the back so if you eat kosher, there's options for you, and if you don't, then have at it! I tend to go on Sunday afternoons and it's never too crowded. The staff is always friendly. The portions are huge!

Average quality at a premium price. Humas and bread was good. Schwarma was very dry and lacking much flavor. Sides were ok. Non extravagant Lunch for two was $85 plus tip. Now I know why the restaurant was almost empty. Not going back as there are many other local options.

Hummus Bar never disappoints! The food is always fresh and delicious--I'm especially obsessed with their chicken thighs, flavorful appetizers, and the wide selection of tasty sides.

I enjoyed their freshly baked bread and the hummus. I would like to come back with my teenage children for them to try the food. When I checked-in on Yelp, it had a free dessert offer. We all (6 of us) checked in separately and were excited to try different desserts. Our waiter said we could only choose from the cheaper desserts, and then another server came and said we could only get one free dessert for the whole table. What? It didn't say that on the check-in offer. They ended up offering us 2 free desserts with limited choices. The desserts were just ok, I wouldn't buy them again on my own. Overall, I was happy to have been introduced to this new place and would be back!

I always go to Hummus Bar & Grill when I come down to Los Angeles. Located in a small shopping center in Tarzana, this restaurant is a must visit if you're a Middle Eastern-food fanboy like myself! Hummus Bar & Grill makes some of the best hummus I've ever had. I still have no idea how they make it so good, but I wish I could replicate it myself! It's creamy, fresh, and flavorful. They've honestly perfected it! Be sure to dip some laffa bread into it. (I love how they immediately serve the table a giant laffa. Be sure to ask for it covered in Zaatar)! I always get a skewer of ribeye steak (where's my 'cooked medium' gang at?). It's absolutely incredible when dunked into some house-made chimichurri. Accompanied with some french fries and Israeli salad and you'll leave incredibly satisfied! Ambiance is fun. It's always fun eating at Israeli restaurants! My one critique is they do get a tad forgetful bringing you napkins/water/etc when they're slammed, but that's not enough to dock a star. A++++

Everything here is delicious except the chicken kebab and for some reason they are ridiculously expensive. This would be a slam dunk 5/5 if the chicken kebab wasn't so dull and overpriced.

Food is way too overpriced for what it is. (20$ for hummus is a crime + can't walk about of that place spending under $25 for such bad ambiance and tasteless food) The people working there are quite cold and bitter. They were just overall off putting, especially the older man that greeted us at the door was rude to my mother and father. The ambiance is bland and very cold. Just bad energy in the place with its white and grey interior. Overall not a place I'd go to ever again or recommend to anyone.

My doctor said I should eat at a healthy place so I found this restaurant. They were so friendly and nice. Huge authentic menu. With the guidance of the servers, I ordered Shawarma with pita bread and rice. Grilled fresh veggies. Homemade humus. So delicious and big portions so great value. Latte machine too. I will be coming back with my friends and family. They're opening for breakfast too this week. Easy parking.

It pains me to write this review. We LOVE hummus bar and grill. It's been our go to Israeli spot for a decade and we've introduced many friends to it over the years who also rave about the food. HOWEVER, over the last year the prices have DOUBLED. We went with our two small kids and it was $108 for the two kabobs dish ($41!!!!), one house hummus and dessert. The first (which we didn't order) is $50!!! We left hungry and had to get our kids more food elsewhere. This is not Beverly Hills nor is it a fancy restaurant. This is a warm wonderful family spot that we will now have to relegate to once or twice a year due to their OUTRAGEOUS price gouging. LA wages and prices are high, but this is ridiculous and makes me feel like you are ripping off your precious customers. No one else in this category of israeli restaurant charges these prices. If you keep these prices up it won't matter how high they are, no one will come to eat here.

I have officially decided that unfortunately I will not be ordering from this restaurant anymore. This used to be my favorite spot, however two times in a row that I ordered from them I was disappointed. The first time I ordered from them, they barely put any meat or any hummus inside. Then I called them the second time to place an order and let them know that the first time I was disappointed and requested to make sure they put in enough meat and extra hummus Instead, I received no hummus at all, and only half of the bread was filled with Shawarma.... I'm not sure if they are doing this due to the economy and they're trying to save or it's because they have new chef in the kitchen, but I gave two chances and sorry to say I won't order from here.

If you want to be ignored when you enter a restaurant this is the place. These people have the worse customer service I've ever experienced. I placed a huge order for takeout hours ahead of time for a specific pickup time, I showed up and after no one payed attention to me for 10 minutes they lied to me about my order not being ready because someone else picked it up 2 hours earlier with amazingly the exact same order and name! Impossible. They screwed up in who knows how many ways but to bullshit me was unbelievable. They don't try to make it right and I left. Don't go here. Ever. The food isn't worth the service.

We were in the area driving, so decided to try this place. We had one of the popular menu item- shavarma, and mushroom hummus. The dish comes with variety of side dishes like rice and flatbread. Shawarma was little bit on the dry side, but rice was good. Hummus was okay.. maybe too much oil. The food was good, but not that great.

Delicious food, but service needs improvement! We had lunch at Hummus Bar & Grill yesterday, and our experience was mixed at the very best. I am unsure if I would return to the restaurant anymore unless I read that the service has improved. Located in Tarzana, this casual dining restaurant has both indoor and outdoor sitting. Parking is available both in front of the restaurant and in the underground parking garage. Inside the restaurant, there is a bar area and regular seating area. When we first arrived, I was blown away with the nice aroma of warm fresh bread from the oven. The place was crowded, and we were seated right away. We ordered the arugila/avocado salad as starter, and the wild mushroom knafe and foccacia sabich as entrees. While we got water right away, it took us 20 mins to get our complimentary bread. It then took another 20 mins for our salad to arrive. Our entrees came one hour after we placed our order, and we had to ask our server repeatedly before anyone knew what happened to our order. The food tasted good. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The wild mushroom knafe was delightful with delicate taste of sweet onions and mixed mushrooms. The foccacia tasted ok, as the hard-boiled eggs were overcooked and tasted somewhat rubbery. We were perplexed with the quality/lack of service. There were at least 5-6 waiters at the counter, but there were no assigned waiter for any table. No one came to refill our water or had any idea why it took 1 hour for our entrees to arrive. The strangest thing was we saw other patrons, who arrived later than us, received their orders much quicker than us. When we pressed the waiters on our missing orders, we were told, "I work in the bar area only." Wait staff seemed to be standing and chatting among themselves, but no one had ownership on the responsibilities of serving customers at tables. When we asked for our check, the staff comped us for the two entrees. While it was a nice gesture, I was unsure if I would feel comfortable bringing friends/families here again. It would be awkward having them wait a full hour for their food. Hope the restaurant addresses the issue with the service soon!

One of my favorite Mediterranean food restaurants in the SF Valley/Greater Los Angeles area. The mushroom hummus is incredible. I order it every time I go. I recommend the kabobs as well. A must try is the chicken Shawarma. Staff is friendly. Parking is limited. Overall a nice dining experience with good food & friends.

Very nice modern design and noise level is average. Service was excellent very attentive. The food was very good I had an eggplant sandwich and my wife had lamb. Sandwiches are large and are served with hot fries.

We have been going to Hummas Bar & Grill for many year's. The most recent visit was Feb 1st. Food was not great. Service was bad. The ambiance was terrible. The server rushed us & was rude. Not very clean. Mushrooms fell on the floor & no employee picked them up. We will not return!

We came here a few friends on a Sunday afternoon to eat lunch. The food was delicious + they have kosher dishes for people that eat kosher food. The waiter was also very kind and gave us very nice service.

Great place to get Israeli food. The shawarma is my favorite. A little pricey but worth it. Been coming here since they opened.

Love their falafel and babaganoush For $20 you can get enough for two meals. How do they make their falafel so much better than Nick the Greek ? Take out is better.

Hummus Bar & Grill is always a great stop when we are in L.A. Amazing hummus, salads, grilled lamb and of course the killer bread baked freshly all day long. The young staff is very friendly and helpful.
