As a person who loves Cava and Mezeh, I thought Hummus Republic was going to be another iteration…read moreof those. Instead, I was left with much to be desired. When I arrived on a late Wednesday afternoon, the place was empty. The guy working behind the counter was sitting there eating food behind the counter as I walked in the door. This occurred in close proximity to where the food is that they serve. That should've been my sign to leave, but I wanted to give this place a chance. I ordered a bowl with a base of rice and spinach. I got two different types of hummus and another dip which I assume is their version of the crazy feta they have at Cava. I asked what the most popular protein choice was and I was told the chicken schwarma so I got that. I got a bunch of different vegetables and topped it off with tzatziki sauce. I paid around $15 for my food. When I got home and ate my food, I was highly disappointed. Everything lacked flavor to me, even the meat, dips, and sauce. The corn looked like it came from a can. The chicken also had a weird appearance to it. I know it was bad because I was literally STARVING from barely eating anything all day and I had to throw it away after a few bites. Usually when I'm super hungry, things that taste merely okay are edible enough for me to finish. That was not the case here. Disappointed, I still had to go out and get something else to eat. This was my first time here, but I don't see myself returning. The service wasn't the greatest either. The staff who was working there didn't seem interested in trying to help me with any suggestions as I stood there taking forever to decide what I wanted. I guess he just wanted me out the door so he could get back to his food. Another thing I'd like to note is that most times when you visit these assembly-line type of fast casual spots, there's usually multiple people behind the counter and you can see things being prepared right in front of you. That was not the case here. I don't even know if there was anyone in the back preparing food or replenishing items throughout the day.

This is my second time at the Greek kitchen. The first time was back in November 2024. I had the…read moreoctopus, the Greek paella, the mashed fava beans, and my friend had their lamb kebabs. The food was very good. The Greek paella was delicious and the portions huge. The Octopus was a bit tough. So I came here again for lunch last week (5/25), and I ordered the fried calamari the Spanikopita and the grilled octopus with mashed fava. The mashed fava was delicious and has become my new obsession. However, I disappointed with the rest of my lunch. The octopus was tough and one small portion had a bitter taste slightly like vinegar. It could've been that it was charred on the grill And so it tasted a bit bitter. I still ate it trying to find a piece that maybe would have tasted better and tender and then that brought back a recollection of the last time that I was here that my friend and I felt the octopus was a bit tough. Most likely overcooked. The fried calamari did not have flavor. At $21 for the appetizer, I expected better. I have a hard time trying to find good calamari and I think I've been to maybe two places that actually seasoned the breading and the calamari was delicious. Not here. It also was not served with lemon. I've gone between giving them 3 or 4 stars but decided on four since I can't give 3.5. I'm basing my rating on the cleanliness of the place, the space, the service, as the young lady who was my waitress was an absolute doll, and the fava, paella, lamb kebabs and huge portions. Would I go here again, yes, I would, but I will try other dishes. I will not be ordering the calamari here or anywhere else again nor will I be ordering the octopus here again. Note: for lunch, I spent $55.45 for the 3 items, not including tip.

Service was friendly. I ordered a felafal sandwich which I customized with various sauces/vegetables/etc. It was truly delicious and a breath of fresh air compared to so many of the dry felafals I've encountered lately. The sandwich was huge so I saved half for dinner when it was still enjoyable. Purchased a small container of baba ghanouj for my aunt which she later said was good. They had fresh squeezed orange juice which I also enjoyed.

The falafel was pretty decent they cooked it fresh so it wasn't lying around. The service was okay not very friendly. Ambiance was sort of like a that of a bagel shop.

The falafel was crispy outside and soft inside and the pita was warm and soft too. My favorite part was the sauces, especially the hot sauce. It actually has real heat and flavor.

The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is friendly, they make you feel like family instead of just being served at a random restaurant. Definitely a nice local spot and worth trying if you're in the area.

This time we tried the fava dish, lentil salad, rice pudding, sausage appetizer and falafel. Surprised and delighted with how light and crispy the falafel was! We learned Egyptian falafel is made with fava beans and not chickpeas. The sausage appetizer came with a very flavorful tomato sauce for dipping homemade pita bread. Hummus was also very creamy and delicious. The evening was rainy and cold so we were the only customers making it feel very cozy. The owner and chef was accommodating and shared memories of growing up in Egypt. We enjoyed our time very much. Food is a step above typical Mediterranean. ​ p.s. updated review to add pictures from our first visit.
