Great food, cozy little cute place

by shailusharma79

The food was great. The service was a bit slow though. And I did not like their ice tea at all. But the homemade fresh lemonade was good. I will go again.

Best Israeli-Style Humus in a casual east village spot

by jay2002

If you have not tried this type of authentic hummus as a meal, you have not lived... Hummus made fresh and served warm, with a hard boilded egg, and different sauces on top. On the side get the Israeli Salad, and it comes with pickles olives too. They have whole wheat pita which is really nice. I go there every time i am in NY on a trip. The only other place that has similar hummus is taboon (see my review on that) but that is a much fancier and more expensive place. This is easy, quick, and the closest thing to fast food. The total check is like $15 per person!

Great night out!

by raviolirinaldi

For a bill under $30 - and healthy food - this is the best! The hummus with stewed fava beans was my favorite-- it is served with whole wheat pita bread and pickles -- all for $5! We had Goldstar beer (from Isreal) although we heard the Sangria is great as well!

We will definitely be back!

• Pros: Great value, hummus is the best!
• Cons: Small dining area-- get there early! - have party room in back though!

Best Hummus!

by 11222

This place has the most delicious hummus, and fresh fluffy pita. The hummus with roasted pine nuts and hard boiled egg is sooooo good. It's a small, no-frills klinda of place, the service is lacking a bit, but it's totally worth it . I love going here, and always take some home with me. You have to go!!

• Pros: delicious hummus and pita!!!!!!!!
• Cons: mediocre ambiance and service

The Hummus Place is excellent. Try the hummus w/fava beans and egg...it is delicious. The portions are generous and the accompanying pita, hot sauce, and pickles round out this addictive meal.

• Pros: The best hummus ever, great pita, friendly service

Great Cheap Eat

by foodie326

My Israeli friend introduced Hummus place to me, stating it was one of the best outside of Tel Aviv. He also says this one is better than the one on MacDougal - I can't tell the difference. The food is affordable (under $10 per person). The green spicy sauce is so good. Also, check out the Israeli root beer - delicious. I usually order one shakshuka and one hummus (I ask for the egg to be removed from this dish, since you already get egg in the shakshuka) between 2 diners. There is seating in the back of the restaurant which is quieter and more spacious than out front.

• Pros: Hummus, cheap eat

The Best Hummus

by omgwtf21

The location on St. Marks is really tiny and cramped but it is sooooo worth it. The hummus us amazing and they give you a pretty big portion at a very inexpensive price. One order comes with 2 fresh, decent sized, warm pita breads. There are only like 3-4 things on the menu - however, they are all perfection.

• Pros: Inexpensive, DELICIOUS HUMMUS, Fresh/warm Pita Bread
• Cons: very small restaurant
