The Hummus & Pita Co.

Inexpensive fast food option, they open late and have seating space. The menu is slightly confusing and be careful of all the extra charges, it’s impossible to know what actually comes with the bowl without it being an extra charge.

OMG..... So glad we stopped in... Outstanding! So much flavor.... Will absolutely come back again! And enough for later!

It was okay. I had a better experience in the past. Just pay attention to what they are putting in your bowl. They seem to assume what you want and have an attitude when you mention to them, that’s not what you want. Especially if you didn’t speak. Cava still tops the scale when it coms to this area of food.

Delicious Mediterranean spot with tons of food options for all types of diets! Clean restaurant with friendly service and plenty of seating. The chicken shawarma was juicy, tender, and flavorful. They serve the best falafel I’ve had with a nice crunch on the outside while still being moist with good flavor (not dry like most falafel). The chickpea chiller was surprisingly good. Worth giving it a shot to see if it’s your thing. The rugelach and baclava were a sweet ending to the meal! Definitely recommend this place for fun flavors, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere.

Update: I have been here many times since my first visit. Loving the eggplant and charcoal roasted chicken. Rice has been not a problem anymore. Really good spot for lunch. Original: Went to pick up lunch. No line, easy fast in and out from the store. Loved the salad, eggplant, chicken shawarma. The bowl came with pita bread too. It was a filling quantity. Sadly, didn’t like the rice much, would have nice if it was warmer. The restaurant has lots of space. There are high chairs in front of the glass front. There are tables in the back of the restaurant. Comfortable space to seat and dine.

Food is mediocre at best, and probably best described as “filler food”. Very bland, not especially healthy tasting (cauliflower was very oily, tzatziki had a lard-like consistency). Worth skipping. If you need a quick bite walk further up 6th Ave to Chipotle/Cava/Just Salad/etc.

Nothing matters anymore. This place makes some truly horrific humus. It tastes like a mixture of cardboard and barely seasoned chickpeas. If you want to bring missery to any lebanese or syrian grandmother just take her to this place.

Absolutely delicious. I ordered the 1st time the chicken shawarma with Lebanese cauliflower, and I was not disappointed. The pita bread was fresh, but most importantly the Lebanese toum dip was phenomenal and authentic. The 2nd time I ordered gyros with tabbouleh on the side. The gyro was good while the tabbouleh was ok but def not like the Lebanese version. It's got tons of bulgur with parsley, so it's maybe the Turkish version which I dislike.

Go here for a casual lunch that leans on the healthier side. Need more spots like this in the city where you wouldn't mind eating regularly and it still scores fairly well on taste. It was quick - i was in and out in a matter of five minutes at 8pm on a weekday for a quick dinner. The wrap was nice, the bread was thin and delicately chewy, and it was stuffed well with all the things I asked for, the meat was tender and ingredients were fairly fresh. Again, not a destination spot per se, but a great option if you're looking for a quick healthy meal and not looking to spend tooo much either. The people working there were nice. The vibe is fast casual. Wishing the best of luck, they fulfill a specific role and they're doing a good job. Consider going here if you live or work nearby

I was getting hangry and this place was around the corner from where I was working - lucky me! Firstly, love that they have so many vegetarian options. I went for the vegan mediterranean meatball bowl. Ordered through Ubereats for pickup - my order was done quickly and the staff was very helpful. Loved all the flavors and textures in this bowl. The meatballs were hearty and tangy, the pickles added the perfect zing, the mushroom hummus was some of the best I've had, and the feta tied it all together. I inhaled my food because I was so hungry, but still savored it. A great fast-casual fairly healthy option. I'd definitely come again!

This place is absolutely delicious. If I lived by one of these, I would eat here all the time. I ordered door dash so I'm not sure what the business looks like. I ordered a chicken bowl with grilled veggies and rice. The bowl is huge and it also comes with hummus and a pita. The only problem I encountered was I ordered white pita, and I received wheat (I think it's wheat) . Please bring a location to Arizona !

I'll give em the benefit of the doubt, I love their options and I didn't order right perhaps. I wanted hummus, and I saw you could "fill it" This was great because I wanted the Mediterranean beans but decided to just add other to the jalapeño hummus... I didn't love the hummus and there weren't any beans on top it was just a bland tomato sauce. The hummus wasn't good enough to keep eating and I always finish my hummus! The meatballs were aight I guess, the white sauce was eh. I'll try a sandwhich one day maybe But the grape leaves were sorta hard and bland... The best thing was the pistachio chickpea chiller

I love Diane and her manager and the food and the service and the delivery Dasher! Fabulous place, I love it! I highly recommend it to all in every way. Barbara

Have returned here many times since my first visit. Really loving the eggplant, roasted chicken and all the sides. Rice has been good in recent visits. Excellent place for grabbing quick lunch.

I went with my best friend, and we enjoyed our food so much that we decided to split another dish just to try something else from the menu! It did not disappoint--excellent all around!

I haven't been here for awhile and I had the gyro bowl and the meat isn't on a spit it's in a container and it's basically steamed but as I understand it the spit is broke so definitely will go back,

Ordered the dream and it was one. We split it and it was plenty for a meal. Huge portion. First of all, these staff were busy and hustling. The owner was very upbeat and working hard to get people through happy. In a busy city, this place felt fast and healthy. Win win. The pita was well stuffed with hummus and falafel- both fresh and flavorful. They did not skimp of anything. Lots of veggies too. Yum. The sweet potato fries were at no extra cost. Woot woot. Perfectly soft inside and crunchy outside. Lots of ketchup for dipping. I do wish you could have lemonade or something but they offer soda and water with the meal. All in all totally worth it for the price. Very clean and organized place too. Awesome place to have on your radar when you are feeling not so adventurous but wanting some healthy comfort food.

The food was good. The falafel was a little too fried and hard. Good choices of veggies. I would this place again. Not too bad. If you want something quick and on the go. The staff was friendly and nice. The ambiance was cute inside.

Corporate bought lunch for everyone from here at work. There was the Roygbiv bowls and meatball bowls. I chose meatball. The meatballs were a little dry and a little undercooked for my liking. Also quite small. I've had a lot better. I'm sure the gyro was the best lol. But I didn't get to try it. The veggies were fresh and flavorful. The pita was hard on the edges but the inner part was good and soft. The hummus was the red pepper one. Not really a fan. But it had the right texture. I like mamouns so much better. But this food was okay. The tzatziki was good.

Absolutely awful. I was there earlier today to have a falafel wrap and there was no flavor at all. The falafels were cold and even the tahini had no taste. A waste of $10.29. A better bet is the one from the food truck. I managed to eat half the wrap as I was hungry and left the other. I was asked why I didn't take it with me and when I gave my feedback the reply was a shrug.

I've been here in the past and remember it being good so went back. This time though, I realized how confusing the menu is. You can order pre designed items or customize it. The whole part of the "fill it up" section is confusing because you only get 1 selection which doesn't sound like "fill it up", why not call it pick 1 vegetable salad? Then when you pick the "toppings", they were kind of bland. It looks pretty and colorful but all underwhelming. The chicken schwarma was bland too. While eating I realized they didn't give us any sauces which might have pulled it together. They should of asked if we wanted any sauce.

I stop by whenever I can. Love their food and the generous portions. I had a misunderstanding recently about a delivery which I thought was a problem with them. Turns out it was a problem with the delivery service AND I found out they deliver themselves - so I will do that in the future. David, the manager was very professional and made it right with me even if they were not at fault.

We stopped by here over the weekend for the first time. My wife got the mini bowl where she picked Turkish meatballs with roasted eggplants, pickles, cucumbers, and other vegy fixings. I got the shawarma pita with curried cauliflower. Each dish came out to around $12 and we very much enjoyed the food. It tasted great, healthy, and the service was excellent. The staffs do a very good job walking us through what is included in each other so that was great to see. I do recommend this place and will certainly come back.

The portions are impressive. The sides are great and as a fry lover, these are heaven sent. This has been the best falafel I've had in the city not over fried like most other places. Love how flavorful my falafel sandwich was

Keepin it real out here in Chelsea, also visited the UES location Super quick filling experience, and super healthy. Ordering process is quick and efficient. Lots of healthy options, even hummus alone has over 4 or 5 choices, but the shawarma is definitely my personal favorite. The owner Dave is a funny guy, always nice to run into him. And people go crazy over the chickpea drink, got to try it one of these days. #dassit

Ok so I was wondering how good a chickpea milkshake (vegan, GF and sugar free) could taste and I was not disappointed at all! The chickpea chiller at Hummus & Pita company comes in different flavors - we tried the chocolate and pistachio and both were delicious and refreshing. The flavors of the food are so yummy and the dishes are so colorful. They also offer vegan meatballs and shawarma! There are so many options to choose from but you can't go wrong building your own pita or bowl. And of course the hummus is delish. Open now with safety measures in place. Please support your local restaurants!

The Hummus & Pita on 6th Ave is a welcome addition. You will find gyros and bowls which you can add your Mediterranean sides. My bowl had Spanish rice, eggplant and chicken. A pita accompanied it and made for good hummus dipping. Overall it was a good lunch.

They no longer have the platter with 3 fill ins. Now it's just mini bowl or regular bowl. The regular bowl came with 2 fill ins only. Besides that I think the food is still solid. My go to meat is always the steak. Looks dry but it's actually super tender and pulls apart very easily. The flavor is also on point. The fill ins were a mixed batch. I enjoyed the Mediterranean rice, Spanish eggplant, and the roasted red pepper hummus. The Vegan babaganoush was meh and the tabbouleh was not as I remembered. I also got a side of sweet potato fries-- super delicious: crunchy, tasty, sweet. The pita bread that comes with it is good too

Got a bowl through too good to go and it was delicious. Picking up the food was fast, worker was friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Super good deal for $5.99

They should change the name of this place to The Hummus & Pita & Gyro & Spicy Eggplant & Cauliflower & Sauce & ... because damn -- it's all good. They've nailed it on price, flavor, and portion size. Super friendly service too. Try a gyro bowl with pita on the side. Two peas in a pod Our hummingbird family Humm-us & pea-ta

After visiting the Rubin Museum debating where to get late lunch. Walk to Whole Foods, go to Union Square Market. As we turned the corner noticed The Hummus & Pita. There were table and chair outside as well as inside for customers. The Hummus & Pita reminds me of Chopped. Assembly line with food section which make it easier for staff to put together for patrons. Went for the red pepper hummus, Turkish meatball, Israeli Couscous, Spanish Eggplant, and tomatoes. Whole wheat pita. My friend got the Chicken, grape leaves, Spanish eggplant, and tomatoes. Food tasted fresh and delicious. We had left overs. Will definitely be back again. Staff friendly and helpful throughout ordering process.

Food is always good and super flavorful! I always try out the different types of hummus spreads!

Amazing food. Never disappoints. The options are so fun, and everything is so fresh and flavorful! The spanish eggplant is especially such a flavor bomb! It's a great, speedy food option. And their chickpea chillers are amazing! Great healthy dessert option.

Jamie is absolutely amazing! He is so kind with a smile on his face everywhere he goes. Such great service. I 10/10 reccomend coming here if you want great food and kind people around u.

I ordered this place as delivery so take this with a grain of salt. The food was average at best. I also got the spinach and feta spanakopita and honestly it tasted old and bad. It seemed like the feta had been sitting around all day and it just tasted weird. The hummus tasted like paste and wasn't a huge fan and the "harissa" was just chilli flakes in oil. Tzatziki and falafels tasted ok. Large portions. Probably wouldn't order this again.

Came to this place often for lunch when I worked in the city. The food was good and they give great portion sizes. I get chicken swarma, rice with hummus and eggplant

First of all, the food is amazing. Fabulous hummus, babaganoush, falafal, chicken, tabouli salad, come to think of it, I've never had anything I didn't like here. Second, David and Jaime go out of their way to accommodate. For the first time I ordered appetizers to bring to a family reunion. David had Jaime come in early so I could make my train. Unfortunately, my cousins got COVID and cancelled. I decided to donate the order to the Chelsea Fridge. Jaime gave me small containers so I could portion it out. The pita was fresh and smelled delicious. David gave instructions on how to pack the falafel so it wouldn't get mushy. I did save some for myself. I couldn't pass on the beet salad, Spanish eggplant, tabbouleh, Jerusalem salad. It was so fresh and delicous! Thank you David and Jamie!

Great lunch choice. Gotta get your order and know what you want. Moves fairly fast, so don't worry too much about the line outside. Healthy, tasty--standard city price for a filling lunch.

Liked it. Was good and fresh. Bathroom was a mess but the place in general was very clean. The food was delicious. Staff very friendly informative. The hummus was dead on. And you get a big piece of pita.

Love this place! Think a Subway sans which make your own bit with delicious, fresh Mediterranean food. I get the mini bowl and didn't even add all I could have to it. Fresh whole wheat or regular pita comes with it. I got the bowl and the cold bottle of water and a great place to read in my break all for under $13!!!

I've eaten here off and on for the past few years, usually for desk lunch. The portions are great, the quality of ingredients are fresh. I love that there's so many ways to customize your meal. I really like their falafel (light and crispy) and find it very complimentary to the rest of the toppings. Their pita bread is nice and fluffy. I've ordered via seamless as often as I've stopped by in person. I see a lot of reviews that their delivery operations are less than stellar and food gets lost often. But I've always received my orders a few minutes earlier than expected, with hot fries and warm falafel. Not sure if I've just gotten lucky 5+ times, but I've never had an issue. I also almost always have a special request for Seamless orders (here, it's sauce on the side & extra peppers). They've always taken note, put my tzatziki on the side and included a generous side of peppers, free of charge, which is very appreciated. Yummy, fast, fresh food with great portion sizing. Highly recommend for a quick lunch.

Good food, Poor service The business model is similar to many eateries that rely on giving you a choice to build your meal. I suppose they ignored that part when i was there. Ordered a full meal at the counter. The guy ran right through without giving me any choices of toppings, sauce etc. . .and gave it straight to the register at full price for a no frills bowl with barely any toppings (not that i was given the choice) What if i wanted to choose my own ingredients or if i had allergies? A bizarre rushed job to get me out the door while he was doing online orders? The place was empty and appeared fully staffed. I was a bit surprised and rather than voice my thoughts to an impatient employee ill just not come back i think. .

The meats don't taste very good, but I hear that the vegetable options are better. Look for items without the meat, I guess.

Ordered for 18 of us last week while visiting NY and getting together with my NY family. After speaking with Jamie, one of the partners, he recommended I order the extravaganza. It was perfect. So much food and plenty of leftovers. The food was delicious and everyone loved it. Both eggplant dishes were great. All the meat was very tasty. Loved the tahini and grape leaves too. Jaime was so helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and order again when I'm back in town.

Burnt to crisp the chicken! Contacted them and they were rude and told me I should like burnt chicken. I would recommend you try somewhere else.

What in the world! I've been hankering for a big, fat hummus pita sandwich and well, sometimes your wishes come true. My sandwich was like the foot-long hot dogs you get at Serendipity! Get the spinach hummus, which is packed with garlic. I even found a garlic clove in one of my bites. Heavenly! Check out this pita, packed with spinach hummus and babaganoush, and rice, and cous cous, and fried onions and eggplant, and tomatoes and cucumbers. Jackie at the counter was especially sweet and helpful with my order. 5 stars!!!!!!

I like the food but every time I go there the portions get smaller. Big price small portions. If they would give a bit more wouldn't mind the price.

I have passed this place 100 times in my car and so decided to try this place out. It is a pretty decent spot for Mediterranean food. I tried their rice & falafel were pretty decent. Try their lime cilantro sauce!

This is a very interesting concept for casual dining. Start with a protein then pick a bread, add a vegetable, some toppings, and create a meal. I was in need of a quick lunch and dropped into The Hummus and Pita Co. I was a bit confused at first, but the store associate explained how it worked. I started will grilled Chicken on Pita bread, added mixed vegetables, and then topped it with Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomato, and Tzatziki sauce. Everything was very fresh, and very tasty. I sat outdoors on a sunny day and watched the world go by. I thought $10.95 for the sandwich was fair, but $2.75 for a can of soda was a bit steep. I will return.

I've been eating here for the last 7 or 8 years. The food is always tasty, always consistent, always good value for the money. The restaurant itself is clean and well maintained. The staff welcoming and prompt, especially Jaimie and Alyssa. This is my neighborhood go-to place when I want a meal I know I will enjoy.

Everything tastes so delicious, fresh, and authentic! Some of the best falafel I've ever had + cozy atmosphere and fresh cucumber water that makes the entire dining experience so incredibly wonderful! Will definitely come back for the lunch special as well! 5-stars all around.

The vegan shawarma is soooo good! Staff is great too. Their red hot sauce is amazing also, v hot- they'll warn you when you order it, but it's amazing

My boss ordered in lunch for everyone from The Hummus & Pita. It was a nice spread. They ordered in meatballs and gyros with salad and tzatziki and some other sauce. The gyro was very good and the meatballs were OK. The pita bread were all good and the salad was fresh with a light dressing. The tzatziki and the other sauce were super yummy. Overall, a good place to order in a corporate lunch or I'm sure a good place to just have a regular lunch.

I mean.... its a fantastic idea and I wanted to love it. But, with CAVA 5 blocks away..... I'd shoo your business that way. Half the people that work here really don't care and its all over their faces. When you order, they don't really make eye contact and their menu is a bit tricky to figure out how to get started without a little coaching. Once you get your bowl (or wrap or salad) and your protein, you're ushered down to select a few toppings and are charged a hefty $2 for every additional one you want to include. Their portions are NOT generous. when you ask for tomatoes, you get two slices. Want cucumber? Two slices. Heaven forbid you want both and you pay $2 to get two slices of tomato! When you wrap up and go to pay at the register, you realize you're paying $17 for.... hummus? All in all, it is tasty and if you pick your add-ins right, it's filling! But there are SO many options in the City and I'd suggest doing a quick search to see where else you can hit. EDIT: I just received a note from the Manager accusing me of being an employee of CAVA. (?!?) Pretty rude way to explain any misunderstanding in my experience there and even with a second note to clarify (not apologize other than a "I didn't mean to be rude"), I still feel that employees have the attitude they do there because this is management's attitude as well.

I was really excited to try this place after seeing so many great reviews and finding it on our work corporate Seamless account, but I've been pretty underwhelmed the few times I've ordered from Hummus & Pita. One of the real advantages, in my opinion, is the portion size - I eat like Kobayashi and it's hard for me to finish the bowls/platters, so I have to give Hummus & Pita credit where credit is due and acknowledge that the bang for your buck is pretty high up there. I usually order the Gyro bowl or the chicken platter, both of which come with a couple sides and unlimited toppings, which is nice if you're like me and aren't a picky eater and want a whole bunch of crap piled on your food. I can't figure out the difference between the bowls and the platters beside the number of "fillings" (I think the platter gets three while the bowl gets two) and the layout (the difference is self-explanatory). My favorite "fillings" are the cous-cous and the stuffed grape leaves, although you can't go wrong with rice. I ordered the fried eggplant last time and thought it was a little soggy. The chicken is better than the gyro in my opinion, but even the chicken I thought was very, very dry. It's pretty charred which is yummy, but seems to be chopped pretty thin in a way where the "char" is really the only flavor you get. The hummus is, in my opinion, almost inedible, which is strange for a place where all of the dishes are somewhat centered around hummus. I guess it might be somewhat of a personal taste thing, but I can't stand the hummus here - I need to order it flavored, and even then it's tough for me to choke it down. Overall, it's a great value, and a pretty passable meal especially considering the customization options, but the food itself is fairly mediocre.

We were in a hurry to grab lunch and decided to try Hummus & Pita. We ordered the #3 and added chicken ($5) extra. Although it seemed a bit pricey (bowl of rice, eggplant, spicy hummus, and veggies) including a pita, the food was perfect for me and my husband to split (would recommend getting two portions if you are hungry). Everything is fresh, seasoned well, and even the bathrooms were pretty clean! The owner even stopped by our table to say hi and ask if we needed sauce or anything. Would definitely recommend for a fast casual lunch spot or for delivery (they have a pick up area) and even a few tables outside.

So many hummus flavors!! I tried three types of hummus and the baba ganoosh. The baba ganoosh did not have that smoky eggplant taste I was craving for but I appreciated the thick texture of the spread. The hummus was creamy rather than chunky but still good. It is hard to comment on which flavor was the best because they are all so different. We also appreciated the freshness of the falafel. It was very crispy on the outside, flavorful and soft on the inside. It wasn't a ball of mush and had some chunky pieces. We ordered their mini bowl and the cost to portion size is amazing. There's no way you will be hungry after eating this bowl.
