Hummus Kitchen

I recently dined at Hummus Kitchen and it was a delightful experience! I ordered the Chicken Shawarma with majadra rice and a Chicken Shawarma Sandwich. Both dishes were exceptional. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and juicy, not dry at all, which is often hard to find. The pita bread was soft and complemented the meal perfectly. However, the highlight for me was definitely their hummus—it was smooth and rich, likely due to the high-quality olive oil they use, and you can truly taste the difference. I highly recommend visiting Hummus Kitchen if you’re in the mood for authentic and delicious Middle Eastern cuisine.

Me and my teenage daughters went to this restaurant today (a Sunday evening) wanting authentic Mediterranean dinner. It was the best choice we could make! The Focaccia bread, you could smell the herbs from a mile away. So many flavors in my mouth. Nice Tanginess to it! The Chicken Shawarma, was little too creamy for our liking but overall had great flavor and was super well seasoned. The Lamb and Meat focaccia was super flavorful and tender. You can never go wrong with lamb. The bread was soft and warm. I was a little iffy about the pomegranate when I first read it, but it actually went very well with the lamb. The Baklava was nutty and sweet. A Nice way to finish the evening. And, the star of the night, the original Hummus was extremely smooth and creamy. Delectable and authentic taste. In my daughter’s words, genuinely the best hummus they have ever had. Our server was super sweet and the bartender was super friendly and made our night even more enjoyable! Definitely recommend if you are wanting authentic Mediterranean flavors!

The Food is delicious, very authentic, correctly cooked with high quality ingredients. Ayman is the most welcoming waiter, he marked our dinner. It was a very Moroccan outing in a very nice place with great vibes.

Very good food, friendly service, large portions.

Sophie is a great waiter didn’t catch the others name but he was good as well. Had a problem with something and they were very accommodating. The most important part is the food is incredible too. Feels like you are in Israel. 10/10 on prices too they are not bad. The steak kebab is great

Great vibes. Friendly staff. Full bar. Outdoor seating.

Hummus Kitchen is hands down the best food in our area! The flavors are always fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Whether it's their creamy hummus, perfectly seasoned falafel, or the variety of flavorful salads, every dish is a hit. We've tried nearly everything on the menu, and we keep coming back for more. The service is equally fantastic, and we have to give a special shout-out to Kaitlen. He's always so welcoming and attentive, making sure our dining experience is perfect every time. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure we feel like valued customers. Highly recommend Hummus Kitchen for anyone looking for top-notch food and exceptional service!

I ordered a salad and added $5 falafel, but the falafel was dry and not very good. This was my second visit to the restaurant, and once again, I found it lacking. However, the server was excellent and attentive, and the ambiance was pleasant. They also offered us complimentary shots at the end of the meal. Overall, it was a bit pricey.

Descent food with fair prices. I don't frequent meditranian restaurants as I prefer to make such food myself, so take this with a grain of salt. My honest opinion is this is a 3 star place, but again, I might be biased since I like to make the food myself. I will say the mazze trio is a great option to try a few things, if you want a little of everything. Falafel was descent, hummus was good enough, babaganush was average, in pickled veggies only thing I liked was the peppers. I recommend the red chicken, it was very juicy and not overcooked. Additionally, the sauce and the pita bread it came with were delicious. For desert halva icecream was ok, I didn't care for it. However, the choclate mousse was amazing!

it was mid :( the food: i got the eggplant appetizer which is fried eggplant with babaganoush, and the chicken shawarma entree. everything tastes okay it's just the portion size is soooo small for the price. the entree is nearly $30 and i was so hungry after lol. the space: not huge but decently sized the service: they're nice!

I got a takeout order of the regular hummus which was really good! I added the green sauce which made it even better. The restaurant is small, and the staff was friendly. I'll be sure to try more dishes and update my review for the next time!

Decent food! Ambient setting and a good sit out area. I didn't realize they didn't make anything using dairy. The sauces could be a little better.

I went for a solo weekday lunch and had the mushroom hummus and was surprised to find they had matbucha! My husband is Israeli, and it tasted like being at his grandma's.

While visiting NYC, we stopped here for dinner. We sat out outside in their covered area which was nice. Our server was very friendly and answered questions we had about the menu. We ended up ordering the small hummus to start and I got the espresso martini. Both for fantastic! While waiting for our food, the server came around with shots of arak which tasted like Sambuca. For dinner, I got the braised chicken couscous. This was delicious! I was told to mix it up and try different things together, but I ended up just mixing it all together and I thought it was great! Overall, this was a good experience and not too pricey.

Food was decent but the service was appalling (from one of the waiters). When something that should be in the brunch item wasn't there and I asked about it, I was told it's not supposed to be there. Then I had to go look for the menu to confirm that indeed it should be included. Then the server made some excuse, and made no attempt to do anything. I had to ask if I could get that replaced. He walked away, and when he came back, he dumped it on the table and walked away. The rudeness shocked us!

Very good food, beautiful ( but small) restaurant, excellant service and fast, also. The pita was especially delicious - try the "tacos."

Went to the location in the UES and the food and service was outstanding. So we're back again at the 3rd Avenue location.

The Moroccan bread was excellent; portion size for the branzino was somewhat small though the stew was great. Service was efficient and pleasant.

Delicious! A little pricey but worth it. Came here a few times with a friend who is a vegetarian and she is always happy. All of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. We ate outside once and the outside area was quite pleasant, the seats and decor were nice. Service was excellent.

Extremely rude and unhelpful. Ordered delivery, order never came up, but they charged money. On the phone the girl was extremely rude

Hummus kitchen was a solid experience. The meze platter is a nice start if you want to try a little of everything. We also tried the fried cauliflower and it was crunchy and had a nice dipping sauce on side. Interestingly enough, I found the Hummus to be bland. Needed salt. The Beef/kofta sandwich was decent. The Fries overall were good. Enjoyed my time here! Not sure I would come back but wouldn't be upset if I did.

I had a great time here, mostly due to the great service here and luck :) We wanted some mediterranean food and this place was close by! The vibe is super cozy and warm, and they welcomed us immediately! We ordered: - 3 Maze choices: Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Tiberian cured beef: They kept giving us more pita, and an accidental extra hummus!! So nice. The tiberian beef is very sour (which I love) but the baba ganoush tasted a bit weird and oddly sour/fizzy. - Chicken Shawarma Platter with Israeli Salad: I wish there was a bigger portion of meat, but the Israeli salad was great. - Cauliflower Salad: If you like tahini, great dish for you! - There was this free bread that was also amazing, that came with 2 really good dips. They also gave us some free shots of liquor that was licorice flavored.

Interior is decorated so nice! The food was okay, typical middle eastern menu. The appetizer list was long but would've liked to see more options for entrees! Prices are a bit steep.

Cute ambience and nice outdoor seating. Great location and neighborhood. Food was OK but definitely overpriced for what it is. I was not full when I left and we spent over $50. The hummus had good flavor but wish it had come with more pita since that was the filling aspect of the dish and the best part

The hummus is amazing. We had fresh veggies instead of pita. the ambiance is cozy and not too loud.

TLDR: Take this one with a grain of salt. We came here Halloween night and let's just say things were spooky lol. I've passed this restaurant several times and I've never really seen it packed. Y'all I kid you not, I swear we were on a prank show because this evening felt unreal. We should've known something was up within the first few minutes we sat down. One of my friends had dead fly carcass on our table and they just brought a paper towel to clean it...All of a sudden, we hear a commotion in the corner. We were seated somewhat near the door, thankfully. But apparently, what had happened was they let someone come use the bathroom and they tried to rob the restaurant. We heard the fight break out and some hitting ensue. Lots of yelling and screaming. From there, the guy starts to try and leave and one of the staff legit says "my n**** you're not going anywhere" mind you, neither the said people were not Black...Eventually, the cops are called, maybe? The commotion settled down and I guess they just left. Food/Drinks: 2/5 The appetizer was a hot bread with two sauces - one green and one white. This was the best part of the night! We ordered a trio sampler of falafel, stuffed grape leaves, and That was $26. The food was pretty mid and the flavors weren't strong. I don't think it was worth the price. Maybe we just didn't order the right things... Service: 4.5/5 Ok everyone here was actually pretty nice. They greeted us nicely and showed us to our table. They brought us complimentary shots and explained what they were nicely as well as brought out an appetizer. After the fight, they came over and apologized profusely. Literally, no hard feelings to them. Things happen I get it. They also gave us two more rounds of bread on the house as well as shots which was really nice. Vibe: 1/5 This one is self-explanatory LOL. All jokes aside, the brick interior is cute and the outdoor seating has pretty lights and ambiance.

This is a lovely place, very charming. I went with my wife for her birthday. Beautiful decour. Server is very gentle and patient. Menu is good. The trio meze has several options and some interesting Israeli beer were fun to try. Recommend!

Came by on a Thursday for happy hour. Plenty of seats available. The outdoor seating area is very comfortable as the seats provided a nice amount of cushioning. I got an espresso martini as part of the 2 for 1 deal. Very easy to drink. Had a shot of casamigos blanco which was the smoothest tequila I've ever had. There were olives and pickled cabbage on the house which provided nice snacks. We ordered baklava, freshly made in house. The spices and sugar levels were good. Our server, Oscar, was amazing. He heard we were having a rough week, so he gave us some shots and focaccia on the house. I will definitely be back.

Delicious and fresh ingredients. Romantic vibes On the pricier side. Portions were small. I did get a little bit of a stomach cramp later in the night, but maybe it's because I'm not used to this cuisine with the oils and garlic without enough carbs to offset their intensity.

Food was pretty bland and lacked culture. The ambience was pretty nice, and the wait staff were pretty oblivious to their surroundings. There are definitely better places to eat that offer authentic middle eastern fare. If you must eat here, be aware that it is not authentic.

Really gross food. Service was also terrible. I didn't have a good experience here and I wouldn't spend money here again.

This is my favorite place. Great and friendly staff, delicious food. I go regularly!!

First time at Hummus Kitchen this past Sunday and it certainly won't be my last! You can taste just how freshly made the food is and everything cooked to perfection. The service was great and all servers are so attentive and kind - Dylan was our server and she was super sweet, took time to explain the menu to me as it was my first time, checked in on us and an overall excellent server!

This place truly stays consistent and does not miss with any of their dishes. I have come here twice and ordered take out one, and every time was a delicious and pleasant experience. Their indoor and outdoor dining is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly. Came here more recently for their brunch (they have a brunch menu on the weekend, but you can also order from their main menu) and shared some dishes with my boyfriend - I couldn't tell which one was my favorite because they were all so good! In addition to the pictures attached, we also got baba ganoush with hot pita.... I crave it every day.

I used to love this place. The Israeli salad was my favorite. However my last order the tomatoes where a little fermented, assumed it was the lemon I was testing until I got sick a few hours later... Turkish coffee was a disaster. The waitress added a scoop of Turkish coffee grounds to a glass and poured hot water over it. I was in shock. I'm sad this place it's not what it used to be!

Every meal we have had here has been excellent. Staff is warm and welcoming. We never felt rushed even though we were there at a busy time.

Perhaps you need to sit in-restaurant to get the full experience at Hummus Kitchen, but I found the portions to be a bit small for the price. The team was very friendly and offered me water as I waited to pick up my food. The interior is very cozy. Flavors were authentic and tasty, but felt entrees were ~$5 too expensive, especially for takeout. I'd recommend trying to give customers a bit more protein!

During our sojourn in the illustrious city of New York, we found ourselves drawn to this establishment for our evening repast. Seated in the opulent covered area outside, we were attended to by a gracious server who eagerly fielded our inquiries regarding the menu. Commencing our feast with a modest portion of hummus and an exquisite espresso martini, we were enchanted by the flavors that graced our palates. As we awaited our main course, the server presented us with shots of arak, evoking the essence of Sambuca. My selection of the braised chicken couscous proved to be a culinary masterpiece, its harmonious blend of flavors a symphony for the senses. Though advised to savor each element separately, I succumbed to the temptation to amalgamate all components, resulting in a harmonious fusion of taste sensations. In conclusion, our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary, a testament to the culinary prowess of this establishment, all while remaining remarkably affordable.

Very lucky to have a place nearby work that has a delicious and healthy lunch option. For 10$ you can chose from a few different wraps. I chose the falafel and was happy with the quality and taste. You can get a side salad or fries. Rare to find lunch in the city for under 10$ so this place is a win.

Visited on a weeknight and was seated immediately. Staff was incredibly helpful and quick. We ordered some hummus to share and some Moroccan Chicken Sandwiches (some as wraps and some in Pita). Chicken was juicy and flavorful and the pita was great. Tahini itself was just okay, but that just might be because i don't personally care for Tahini. Would recommend for Mediterranean food if you're ever in the Kips Bay/Murray Hill area

Great food! The stuffed grape leaves were great! The charred eggplant was also very interesting. #hummuskitchen

I was around the neighborhood and grabbed lunch here. They have a falafel wrap for $13, which was super filling and also good. It came with a spicy green sauce, salad and two extra falafels on the side. The food is surely great for the price and also the restaurant although tiny, has great space and decor.

Great service and staff! The bar area is perfect. Fresh hummus and veggies. Drinks are great

An average Halal truck has better food than this place. The service was non existent. The rice tasted disgusting (like it had been sitting in a pot for days and just reheated), and for the quality of the service and food, they are over priced.

I love the vibe created by this restaurant! While their service is sometimes slow, I love the food they bring to the table! Makes the wait absolutely worth it! Our meal began with complimentary shots of a digestif they brought out to our table which got our appetite to open up to the blissful and pillowy Pita and Hummus appetizer! The Chicken Shawarma wrapped in Pita that followed was exceptional too and probably the best I've had in the city! I absolutely love the quality and freshness of the food and very much so recommend it to those seeking this type of cuisine!

Wait : none for Wednesday evening Ambience: outdoor seating are nicely decorated Service : friendly, patient and informative. They also have free shots for all the guests Food: I got a Mediterranean chicken with rice. The curtly is a little oily but tasteful as well as the meat. It's delicious and the way of their cooking remind me of food from my country, Myanmar. Price: ok Overall: would love to come back for other dishes

The service was friendly but the food fell short. First, I ordered a sandwich on a "laffa" which was actually a wrap. The Morrocan chicken in the wrap had no distinctive flavor, the falafel was dense and the fries boring. Good Israeli salad and pita. When the owner swept in there were two tables with customers. It wouldn't hurt to take a minute to say hello and/or thank you.

First and foremost these people are super rude with a chip on their shoulders! The food was subpar at best for the price. And seriously someone please do a better job cleaning the silverware, disgusting!

Lovely fresh food, nice atmosphere. I bit pricey for what it is.....but still I'd go back for reliable Mediterranean cuisine in a cozy environment. Lots of options for every diet

Great flavours and combinations. I had a lovely spread of dishes from the salad to the hummus to the shwarma to the couscous. The food was served faster than I expected and the meal came with superb service.

The great thing about this place after so Many years in the business is the Quality and Consistency! Excellent variety , if it's the shawarma plate or the hummus chickpea or their real Israeli salad and their fantastic spicy S'chug. You won't chose wrong . Very hard to keep consistency of success in Manhattan. They do that . Definitely a Destination!

I brought a group of 15 here and the staff was very kind and accommodating. The food was fresh and delicious and they had something for everyone in terms of food preferences. Plus, the falafel and tahini sauce are delicious!

I was going to make fun of the uncreativeness of this place's name, but their namesake dish absolutely lives up to it, so I'll give them a pass. I ordered my hummus with the Moroccan chicken, which was supposed to be spicy and wasn't, but what it was was extremely tender, and a hearty portion too. And the hummus would have passed in Jerusalem, which sounds like a grudging compliment, but is actually high praise! Smooth and an oil percentage so high it's almost decadent. Is it weird that my favorite part of the meal was actually their starter focaccia with spicy green sauce? I thought the kibbeh and grape leaves were just OK, but the babagannouj was smoky and excellent. We got both knafeh and coconut custard with rosewater and pomegranate seeds. Knafeh isn't necessarily my thing, but it was tasty. If you get the custard, make sure you LOVE rosewater.

Walked past Hummus Kitchen and the music caught my attention. The bartender, Tion, kept me and my friend around with his great conversation and vibes. We enjoyed a handful of cocktails and good conversation. The vibes were great! It was low key but also a lot of fun!

amazing kebob. loved the meal. great for passover as they provided matzah as bread substitute. definitely will be coming back soon!!

great ambience, very cute date spot! food was also yummy. we are already coming here for the second time!

I usually don't prefer eating at a Mediterranean restaurant but a friend recommended and I couldn't be happier. I really enjoyed this place, everything from the food to our waiter was on point! The food was absolutely delicious, perfectly prepared and the dessert was heavenly!!! A perfectly savory dinner followed by a perfectly sweet dessert!!

Incredible and authentic Israeli and Middle Eastern food! I loved that the restaurant was dairy free and advertised right on the menu. After walking past a bunch of times in the past few months, I finally went and we were seated outside on the edge of the heated patio (it was still warm enough in the evening). The menu sounded really good but the plates seemed a bit too much so I ordered the sabich sandwich. I've never had one before, but I loved the combination of the fried eggplant, hard boiled egg (even though I don't typically like eggs styled this way, it worked well here), Israeli salad, tahini, and potatoes. The portion was hearty for sure and I had leftovers. The fries that came with it were okay--a bit too salty for my liking. The dipping sauce was good and better than ketchup. For all you get with the sandwich, I thought it was a decent deal. This won't be my last time here!
