I had one of the very best falafels ever at Holyoke Hummus Company. Yes, that is how I'm starting off my review. Believe the hype, even if the surrounding neighborhood doesn't seem the most inviting; the food is worth it. We walked in probably fifteen minutes before their closing time, and still we were treated exceptionally well by the owner, he really made us feel at home. My goal was to try as many items as possible so we got the fries, the Israeli salad, the original falafel sandwich, and the lentil soup which we all sampled off each other, and there really wasn't a single item that we didn't love. The star however was the falafel sandwich. It was incredibly flavorful, full of the Mediterranean spices you'd except from an authentic dish that hasn't been toned down to cater to the american palette, and I loved it; every single bite. I have to add that even though I didn't load a picture of it, I had also ordered the house made chai latte which the owner was kind enough to add almond milk instead of dairy, and that too was really good, I recommend that as well. For me, the cherry on top of this wonderful food experience was that they have games; yes like board/card games. My brother and I relived our youth playing connect four while we waited for our food, and I can't reiterate enough what a wonderful experience this was and I definitely plan to return. read more

Just had their falafel pita pocket at the One Roof festival at Look Park- and it's delicious. Closest I've found to the pockets I've had on the streets in Israel. Delicious and looking forward to the next time! read more

I hadn't been here in a while, or many other places really. Stopped by to get lunch a few days ago and I am still blown away by how great the food is here. The hummus wrap was so refreshing but I think you would find that all the food here is that way. Definitely worth the trip and definitely worth repeat visits! read more

Boy am I glad that my brother suggested going here for lunch...DELICIOUS, let me tell you!! Walking in, the place has a dark lighting to it, but a good dark, almost a homey dark. Booth seating, a kiddie corner with toys and books, and a bunch of board games to play while you wait! Cute touch! I had never before eaten any falafel or Middle Eastern dish in my nearly 24 years on the Earth and let me just say, this place now allows me to hold high regard to how it tastes! I ordered the falafel sandwich and spilt a plate of latkes with my brother. Both plates were absolutely delicious and I'd happily eat another right now as I write this, though stuffed as can be! When I go back, I'm definitely going to try something else. SO many things looked good on the menu. My daughter had the pita pizza and I snuck a few bites of it....also quite good!! Lastly, my brother enjoyed the falafel plate. Basically everything that was in my sandwich but spread out on a plate! He too had nothing but good things to say about the food. The staff all seemed quite friendly which is always a good thing when going to any restaurant/store. We WILL be back!! read more

Holyoke Hummus Company - Top: Falafel Sandwich Left Middle: Latkes Right Middle: Kids Pita Pizza Bottom: Falafel Plate - Falafel Near Me

Fresh, delicious and fast food with lots of welcoming features at the restaurant. We stopped for lunch after a morning at the Holyoke children's museum, with a couple of toddlers in tow. Order at the cash register and then enjoy the fun restaurant while you wait just a few minutes for your food to arrive. The dining area is stocked with tons of toys, games, books, and even a little food truck for kids to play on. I also appreciated the gender neutral bathroom (although for such an otherwise family friendly place they may want to invest in adding a wall-mounted changing table - just a suggestion!). We ordered several platters to share - the hummus, beet salad, tabbouleh, Israeli salad, chick pea salad, and grape leaves were all great. I didn't love the deep-fried pita chips - would have preferred fresh pita - but the olive oil and herbs they use to top the hummus were fantastically fresh and flavorful, so that more than made up for it. The real superstar of the meal for me was the "Shtetel Benedict" - a huge potato latke topped with a poached egg, mushrooms and onions that were sautéed with a ton of rosemary, and some light hollandaise sauce. If this is how they ate in the Shtetels I guess we've found the silver lining! Great house made beverages and pastry items too - this is the perfect post-museum stop where you can quickly recharge and enjoy a great meal. There's something for everyone! read more

Omg I love Hummus so much! Sometimes it might be a bit overpriced from the food cart--but the taste! Just something about it!

My GOODNESS!!!! Really, some of the best hummus and falafel I have ever had! We were so impressed and found this randomly while biking. Best random decision to stop off on the way back! Strongly recommend! read more

I enjoyed my lunch here. I ordered my meal to go which makes my review a little different. The inside is really open and caters to its patrons. They have games you can play and plenty room to spread out. My to-go order was messy and kinda hard to eat while in my car. Nonetheless I stuffed my face and used every available napkin I had! I found the food to be good full of flavor! Priced fairly read more

What a find! Best hummus we've had in a long time! Falafel good, all kinds of Middle Eastern salads were delicious! Driving off Rt. 91 into Holyoke, into what looks like a rather desolate downtown strip, we were blown away by the excellent good and hospitality. Very casual, reasonable prices, and super friendly owner. We highly recommend this place! read more

Great food Warm atmosphere and fast service. They are a community staple with great fresh food. Vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, something for everyone read more

This place is truly outstanding! Hummus is deliciously creamy and flavorful. Fried pita chips also hit the spot. Highly recommend the fried Brussels sprouts! The owner/server is kind; meals served within a reasonable amount of time. It's also thoughtful that they have a "gender neutral" bathroom. I'll be back! read more

They are by far the best food truck in the valley. I'm so glad they have a spot in downtown Northampton. I haven't had one bad thing and I've had almost everything on their menu. If you want something new, or if you already love them and want to support local business, I recommend going to Northampton and getting some falafel and a latke or two. read more

Discovered this place Friday what a great place even for a non vegan like myself. Had the Fancy breakfast wrap this morning and the professional falafel yesterday. Never eaten food like this before and was blown away. John the owner was excellent host and will definitely be going back. My daughter who is vegan was surprised by the wide array of choices. Loved it. Going back for sure. Very reasonable prices too. read more

Sorry but $12 for a falafel sandwich on an ice-cold pita just doesn't cut it! As a vegetarian, I'm always excited about falafel but I think a little extra forethought to build a way to warm up the pita bread is not asking for a lot. If they do it in NY in a mere falafel stand (the kind with a metal cart and umbrella, they can do it here in a food truck or restaurant. read more

Great fresh feel good food and great service. I always get the falafel plate for lunch as I work close by. They are usually quick in getting orders out read more

Holyoke Hummus Company - Fried cauliflower and the hummus plate - Falafel Near Me

I can't say enough about this place! My wife brought me here for my birthday lunch and it was beyond what I imagined! The food... oh, my, goodness! Between the hummus, latkes, falafel, pickled salads, veggie options, and sauces... it was heaven. I might be in a food coma of happiness at the moment, but I cannot imagine passing by the food truck or restaurant without stopping in! Amazing job, guys! We are coming back as often as we can now! The staff is awesome and the cafe has a comfy vibe. Everyone needs to eat here. Good, fresh, and amazing food! read more

Hands down the best spot downtown Holyoke. Try the hummus, sure, but the rest of The menu brings flavor, techniques, and Culinary care to the highest level. A go to and a MUST when in the Valley! read more

We LOVE this place. Delicious food, UNBELIEVABLE challah, falafel burgers, fries, EVERYTHING is delicious. The owner is super friendly and the environment is laid back and very child welcoming. It is totally worth the trip to Holyoke, which is a great little city. read more

Service is great--always has been. They catered my college graduation party in 2017 and still deliver their same awesome quality from their food truck, almost four years later. Plus, there are lots of nice surprises in a Holyoke Hummus Company dish, whether it's the tiny, bite-sized shape of the falafel or the brilliantly pink turnips. John and Dawn never disappoint! read more

So, we've been to Jerusalem and had falafel that is dropped in the fryer by an old lady who had just rolled the falafel in front of you. Few places can top that, but this place comes close. The food is absolutely delicious. Fair warning, the falafel sandwiches are MASSIVE, like, big-enough-to-feed-three-people large. My wife made the more reasonable choice and got the falafel plate, which is basically a deconstructed sandwich -- Israeli salad, hummus, falafel, pickles, grape leaves, and the most outstanding homemade pita chips you'll ever eat. The owner, Jonathan, didn't take care of us, but he got there while we were eating. As other reviewers have indicated, he seems to be a genuinely good guy, well-deserving of the acclaim that he is receiving. read more

I just had my first order, a Falafel Plate, from the Food Truck on Pleasant St, Northampton. It was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was quick and hands free. I will be back! read more

Oh my, the Arabic Salad was the perfect salve for my visit to the Social Security Administration Office down the street (not that I don't love SSA, if you're reading this Holyoke SSA workers). The homey ambiance in the cafe envelops you like a motherly hug. The hummus and falafel is top notch, and the soup's damn fine. Possibly the best lunch in Holyoke! read more

We've been here many times and love the food. It does tend to be a little inconsistent depending on who is making the food. And I was totally bummed that there were no brussel sprouts available today. Also, the falafel wrap is too light on falafel as they use little ones and they get lost in the wrap. Need to up the game on those. Totally not a fan of the babaganoush as there is so kind of smoke additive that tastes weird. It is the best hummus I've ever had in my life, and the fried cauliflower and brussel sprouts are to die for. Overall, a great place to eat. read more

This is my third trip here in three days. It's inexpensive and the food is very tasty. Not a fan of the booth seats ( they sink a bit when you sit on them) but overall it's a great lunch or dinner place. Get the fried Brussel sprouts! read more

Holyoke Hummus Company - Falafel Near Me

We had their food again at the Renaissance fair in Cummington and it WAY missed the mark.

Great veggie food with lots of vegan choices in a super calm, welcoming, kid-friendly space. I am not in downtown Holyoke very often, but I can't resist grabbing lunch here if my timing is right. Also, I have catered some work events here- think the kind of finger food and salads that make an excellent meal for everyone while masquerading as snacks. Holyoke a Hummus has done a wonderful job working with me to pick out food for complex diets, keep it affordable, and lay out a gorgeous and appetizing spread. read more

Excellent food! Everything was tasty- I really liked the pita chips hummus, falafel and grape leaves! Can't wait to come back :)

Very good food especially for a vegan. I was at a music festival yesterday and ordered the hummus plate and fried cauliflower. Everything was delicious. The only thing I need would change is order less food. It was so good I ate it all!!!! read more

My plate was so beautiful, I hesitated to dig in! The creamiest hummus, crispy pita chips, golden falafel, house made pickled turnip, dolmas made tart by fresh lemon, and a refreshing salad...all for $9. The owner stopped by my table to make sure I was enjoying everything and to point out the electrical outlet complete with USB ports for my iPad and phone charger. Free wifi too! I would HIGHLY recommend this place for a delicious lunch with friends, or as a place to bring clients for a business lunch. read more

What a great find!!! I love the vibe of this place. From decor, to music, to food, to incredible customer service, to having BOARD games, this place truly has it all! My food was incredible.

Holyoke Hummus Company - The Shtetle Benedict - Falafel Near Me

Every single thing on the menu is delicious. Let me say that again-- I have never ever been disappointed at HHC, and in fact, I can't even pick a favorite. The atmosphere is very inviting and kid friendly, with books and games, and there's always great music playing. The owners are very cool, and the workers are always kind and helpful. I will go out of my way to eat here, even if I just grab a 'kitchen sink' to go! I can't recommend this place high enough- run, don't walk to grab some Middle Eastern eats! read more

I LOVE Holyoke Hummus. I especially like The Kitchen Sink and the brussel sprouts. They are always super nice and quick, very accommodating when I ask for sriracha in my sandwich. I'm a vegetarian and it's great having a filling veggie option nearby. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the Holyoke location reopens soon! read more

Review is for the hummus and service only as I have not tried the food here yet. Stopped in a couple weeks ago and asked John for 2 containers of the fresh hummus to go. He was very friendly and helpful with information about his business and the other businesses in the building. Hummus was very good and creamy. I will definitely be back again at some point. read more

I tried Holyoke Hummus Company at an outdoor festival in Brattleboro where they had a food truck. I was blown away! It was easily the best falafel wrap I've ever eaten. I thought I might have to fight off hungry onlookers to protect my order of fried Brussel sprouts as people kept remarking how good they looked and asking where I got my food. The next time I'm in Holyoke I'll definitely stop by the restaurant. Two thumps way up for vegetarian/ vegan options done right! Hot, fresh, layers of flavor and a friendly staff! Thanks guys! read more

A worthy trek to holyoke if you're not a local. I had this humas from the truck at an event and went looking for the cafe. Falafel is fantastic as is the hummus and salad. Pita soft and perfect with lunch. Was touring my son and his girlfriend into holyoke ( he now lives out west). They both enjoyed the walking around the canals and ending up with Mediterranean deliciousness! The decor is simple but clean lines and an informal rustic vibe. Well done. And the owner happened to be discretely sitting at a table working on a laptop. Came over and introduced himself toward end of our meal. Great guy! Thank you! Efficient service. Delicious food. Worth a trip to holyoke. Also. Watch for the truck at events and wait in line. Worth it! read more

I love this little place. I come in for lunch whenever I'm in the area for work. It's quick, delicious, and the service is great. They play fantastic music and even sometimes have live music! I'd highly recommend the falafel, and if you can catch their food truck out and about definitely stop by! read more

Updated review - this place still rocks! They updated their hours and menu. Now open 8AM-3PM Monday through Froday, and 9AM-3PM on Saturday and Sunday. I haven't been able to catch their breakfast yet (although it is served all day, so I really have no excuse). I've been addicted to their Falafel Caesar salad (with added pickled turnip). So yummy! read more

The Holyoke Hummus Company... where do I even begin? It baffles me that these guys don't have a permanent brick and mortar location, but they're easy to find every Thursday in Holyoke, and at Farmer's Markets in the summer (check their Facebook page to see where they'll be.) The falafel sandwich is out . this world. Every ingredient works together so perfectly -- my personal favorite is the Israeli salad. The falafcicle is another go-to favorite of mine, and I could easily eat ten! And then, of course, the hummus. Creamy, flavorful, not overbearing... simply perfect. My wife and I try and go every Thursday! read more
