COVID-19: delivery, takeout, curbside pickup, outdoor dining. Workers wear masks. New restaurant with excellent hummus! Since discovering, we get curbside pickup each time on the way home from our dry cleaners (Locust Cleaners). Hubby loves the Romanian eggplant. I like the hummus with shakshuka. Metered parking out front, or free side street parking. read more

Hummus Bodega - Outside - corner of 20th and Geary. Outside seating during COVID-19. - Kosher Near Me - San Francisco, California

I decided to come and try this spot. I was in the area. The ambiance was pretty ok. I have ordered one item and it was well over $20. It was shocking. The service was pretty terrible. There was no communication. I was waiting for my order and no one acknowledged that my order was ready even though it was sitting on the counter. They were unorganized. The most shocking part of this whole experience is that when I got my receipt and took a look at it. They have an underhanded and deceptive practice. They have absurdity to charge the customer a "delivery fee". After discovering this deceptive practice it didn't sit well with me at all. I don't think I be paying customers for this restaurant. It's understandable that running and owning a business is not easy but lying to the customer is the absolute worst thing that a business owner could do to a customer. Update Now they are claiming the " delivery fee" is label as a SF bag fee. I was not given a bag for my order. There is no sign displayed this information in the restaurant. read more

When this opened up (opening during Covid no less) I had to go here. Having been to Israel a number of times, I miss the true fresh hummus vs the store-bought available here. The Bodega did not disappoint. We ordered a large selection of bowls such as the Classic, Forest, and Bodega style as well as some Falafel, pita, Tahini dip, and olives for a covid bubble dinner with another couple. Don't worry, they are in our social bubble with restricted interactions and all tested negative in advance. Everything was very good and the Forest was my favorite. SO good, so fresh, so tasty. It brought me back to the evenings walking along the beach in Herzliya in the evening. One warning, unlike the Sabra and other brands you buy at the store, this will not last. You need to eat it within 2 or 3 days for it to be fresh and tasty - maybe 4 days at the most. That is what fresh food is all about. read more

I really enjoyed each and every dish. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I loved the hummus it was amazing. It was so creamy, smooth and airy. The falafel was crispy on the outside and was super yummy dipped in some tahini. The Israeli salad was light and so flavorful. The Pita Tel Aviv was delicious the eggplant was perfectly crispy and the pita was so fluffy and soft (literally biting into clouds). Also, the green spicy sauce was AMAZING it was delicious and added a kick to every bite. Food and experience was a 10/10! Amazing food and super clean establishment. To all my Bay Area foodies -- stop by and order some delicious Mediterranean food!

This spot is a *not so hidden* gem yall! Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, found (free) parking fairly quickly, note that there isn't many tables for dining. Luckily there was a table available outdoors for us to eat at! We ordered the schnitzel plate, shawarma plate, and some drinks/snacks. My goodness. Everything was so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. From the pita bread, to the french fries, to the little garlic stuff they put on the side -- there wasn't one bad bite from that plate!! We can't wait to go back; this is def a new favorite!!! read more

The food here was okay, I can't say I was super impressed by it though. The schnitzel in their sandwich was kind of soggy and not particularly flavorful. It kind of felt like eating a lot of fried batter. Their falafel was also kind of hard however, their fries faired better. On the other hand, the hummus was creamy and smooth which makes me open to revisiting this place. Of note, the portion sizes here are rather generous. read more

Arrived to place an order for takeout. Was ignored and unacknowledged for an uncomfortable amount of time. The person running the front of the house was clearly flustered whereas the cooks were seemingly not taking their job seriously. I placed my order and sat for another uncomfortable 20 minutes until my food was ready. The only reason I'd come back here is because the cauliflower pita was really really good. read more

I gave Hummus Bodega another chance using a delivery service, and yay! My order went through! Food is spectacular. Definitely get extra pita, it's so soft and delicious. A little pricey, but worth it. read more

Save yourself $25 bucks and go somewhere they take pride in their work. This place makes overpriced average food in a messy kitchen. It's unclear if the proprietors like running a restaurant. I won't inconvenience them with my patronage anymore. read more

Good food but it appears to be closed now. Very little info on their web page and still sending promotional emails. Too bad because they made the best hummus. read more

I ordered the Tel Aviv combo plate today and it came with a creamy hummus, crispy eggplant and fries, pita bread and 2 types of salads on side. It was a delicious plate and so different from what I had before. The eggplant and salads seasoning are so good and I liked the combination of them.

Love this place. Crispy Tel Aviv Eggplant is my favorite, in a pita or as a plate. Delicious!

I got the shwarma pita sandwich. It was honestly delicious, but for 23 plus tip? Come on. But the price was not even the worst part, I got the craziest shits ever after. I have been pooping for the past few hours a constant stream of poop. I've lost at least 4 pounds. WTF. The poop is not stopping yet either. Starting to think I might need a doctor. (The sandwich is the only thing I've eaten today). I guess if your tryna shed a few pounds this is the place for you read more

Ordered a shawarma pita sandwich! Very disappointing - it's basically just a pita bread with shredded lettuce and pickle - hardly any meat. Ridiculously overcharged at $23 - daylight robbery! Won't be back! read more

Hummus was liquid with no taste. Pita was soggy. Falafel balls were burned. $19 for a dish like this?

I was pleased. We are not afraid to step out of our comfort zone, after all I grew up eating mustard sardines watching cowboy movies as a 3 year old in Pittsburgh, PA. So when I saw this come up on Too Good To Go, I was in despite the torrential rains and the requisite bus ride. You can't miss it at 20th and Geary. Inside it is bright and cheerful with enough table and chairs. I didn't know what was in our bag but couldn't wait to get home. It smelled so good. And something inside was warm. We had already eaten but had to sample anyway. Falafel. I have only had that in Paris. This was better. I think we also had slivers of bread covered in spices...delicious and chewy. The Israeli chopped salad was crisp. I was pleased with its freshness. And then there was the hummus. Some of us have only had costco or Trader Joe's hummus. Well with Hummus Bodega's hummus, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. Just wonderful. Without Too Good To Go, this would NEVER have been on my radar. I loved everything and look forward to returning. For those of us bussing it, especially in the rain, both 38 and 38R stop within a few feet in front of Hummus Bodega. Highly recommend. read more

I've been craving a great Falafal pita sandwich and Hummus Bodega came recommended and was said to be the BEST in San Francisco. After I ordered the Falafal Pita and watching them make them fresh, it was ready in less than 2 minutes. Everything is so fresh and the taste is incredible and brought me back to Israel where we had them often. Simply the best and now I am a huge fan. Thank you! They even gave me some Hummus and Pita to try for next time! I will be back. (Pita Falafal) read more

The food here is absolutely excellent. I highly recommend the chicken plate or falafel plate. Each comes with a lot of food, cucumber salad, pickle, chicken cutlet/ falafel, hummus and garlic rice or fries. It also came with many sides, coconut, a sweet red sauce, a garlic sauce and others. And the food was enough for two meals each. Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant is very clean and comfortable read more

After visiting Israel, I had a new benchmark for hummus. It has to be creamy, rich, flavorful, fresh and have that subjective consistency. Store bought and most restaurants simply do not measure up. Hummus Bodega is an exception, a gem that only focuses on a very limited menu, but does it right. I tried their forest hummus entree (mushrooms, onion), it comes with a side of pita, salad, marinated cucumber, and fries. I also added on 5 falafels (comes with tahini) and Romanian eggplant. What worked well after my hour long bike ride was to put the pita, falafel and fries in the toaster oven for 8 minutes at 425. That made it warm and crispy. Hummus was just like you would find in Israel - I.e. excellent, while the falafel was light, crispy, not oily and mildly flavored. It needs a tangy sauce or to dip in to the hummus. Pita was fresh and as good as it gets. What surprised me was the Romanian eggplant. Never tried it but fried eggplant in tomato sauce is a winner. Tip: Make sure you ask for their hot sauce on side. This is made from green chilies and elevates the falafel and hummus to umami flavor profile. Service was great. Order gets ready in 5 minutes. And Is packed well. Overall I'd say this is one of the best hummus places in San Francisco. read more

My friend and I tried this place for the first time, and we were so pleasantly surprised by the food. We ordered the hummus tel aviv (fried eggplant) and humshuka (shakshuka) hummus bowls, along with a side of falafel. The hummus bowls are quite large, and come with one piece of pita bread, French fries, and a cucumber tomato salad. Everything tasted fresh, preparation was top notch. The egg in the shakshuka was perfectly cooked. One of the best falafels I've tried in the city. I do want to try more of the menu, but I think I've already found my favorites. This was more than enough food for 2 people, Will definitely return. read more

WOW. Hands down, best fast-casual Mediterranean food in the Bay Area. Everything tastes super authentic - fluffy pita, flavorful meats, crunchy falafel, creamy hummus. Amba and zhoug! And they only use high quality meats, and give you generous portions. The owners really care about their customers and are actually there in the kitchen making everything. Make sure to check out their specials - the lamb beef shawarma on Tuesdays is worth driving across the city for. read more

Falafel was not freshly made, frozen perhaps, greasy and burnt. Employee ignored me, he was talking to his co-worker. 15 minutes later... Over priced and a scorched oil smell. Floors and windows dirty. read more

My friends wanted to come out to this Hummus destination seeking an authentic hummus experience. I had several experts in tow who grew up in Israel and also me having been a visitor there, we were ready for some decent hummus from the reviews we read. There were so many options and we all ordered different items. I had a hummus bowl with mushrooms and some zatar basil. It was yummy and creamy! There was an hummus and roasted eggplant option I want to try next time I go! I also had a choco pudding, and some refreshing sparkling grapefruit. This place is worth the trip and we ate outside which was a bonus! Leon was ever helpful in our ordering, and was even able to speak in Hebrew which was a nice touch for my friends who recently immigrated here from Israel! read more

Great lunch. We had the falafel. Wanted to try something new but the falafel looked so good Thank you

By FAR the best hummus/Mediterranean food in San Francisco. No contest. Please reopen!

NOTE closed on Saturdays. I came here on a Sunday (during COVID) and there was a short line to order, but there was still a couple of sidewalk tables empty. LOVE this place. It is a bit pricey, but you are paying for home-made and quality. I got the hummus with the falafel balls...I really wanted to try the eggplant and I was also tempted to see if the guy would have thrown in just a 3 pieces of the confit Garlic to taste them (which are pricy as a full side dish, but I imagine you get a sh*t-ton more than I wanted to taste.) The entree came with a pleasant surprise of a small order of fries. The bread is AMAZING. I don't imagine it would be nearly as good in a couple hours, but obviously made fresh to order. this place is better than the mini-chain Sababa, and just as tasty as the Flying Falafel (which I love), but adds outdoor seating AND more menu options. YUM AND YUM! - I could have easily split my hummus bowl - I was stuffed - around $14 all in read more

4.5 stars! Hummus Bodega is probably one of the closest things you can find to a true Israeli hummusiya! They're even closed on Saturdays (for the Sabbath), but on any other day of the week, you'll find delicious hummus bowls, pita, and more on the menu! Our server was so friendly and hospitable, and even gave us samples of the hummus before we ordered! My pick was the Hummus Tel-Aviv (our server suggested it as her favorite), which came with hummus topped with two crispy eggplant slices and an overnight boiled egg, along with tahini, olive oil, parsley, and zhoug (a spicy green chili paste). First, let's get into the hummus: the chickpea-tahini paste was served slightly warm and had a more runny/soupy texture than most other hummuses I've had. The sliced hard-boiled egg and the crispy yet soft eggplant added a nice textural contrast, and the pita bread that came on the side was super chewy and was the perfect vessel to scoop everything up! In addition to the hummus, I also got a side of the Jerusalem Style Sauteed Mushrooms and Onion (also used as the topping for the Forest Hummus bowl), which was a delicious mixture of button mushrooms and sliced onions cooked with a ton of spices and seasoned to perfection--so much umami! Along with the hummus bowl came a simple Israeli salad on the side (chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions), which didn't sound like much, but had a really nice acidic zing and crunch, as all the ingredients were so fresh! read more
