    Truly one of my favorite places in NYC! I've been to the one in the upper east side quite a few times but first time at the TSQ location. Service was exceptional. Seated us promptly on a Tuesday around 5:30pm. The staff were friendly and quick. The ambiance is very cute! Smaller location and it is clean and well decorated. Truly appropriate for any occasion. The food is so fresh and big portions.

    I love this place so much. I order from them all the time. It's such a cute interior and the food is delicious always fresh always delicious. I recommended to everyone who comes. It's a beautiful interior as well. Definitely recommend it! I love their lunch special

    Free lunch from work - Chraime salmon lunchbox w/ pita: 7/10, I liked the hummus quality, and the pita and salad were yummy. The salmon was flavorful and tender but a little too sour for me

    Hummus Kitchen was a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, with beautiful decorations and pictures of Israel that added a special touch. We started with the Meze Trio, which was absolutely to die for. The hummus was amazingly tasty, with the perfect consistency and just the right amount of saltiness. The beet and lentil salad was outstanding, and the dressing complemented the flavors perfectly. The vegetarian couscous was delicious and full of flavor. And more, the falafel was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Every dish was prepared well! We will definitely be coming back for more!

    It had been a while since my dining companion and I visited our 'Happy Hummus Place' on 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. While we're making fewer trips into the city these days, our return for a pre-theater lunch proved that Hummus Kitchen hasn't missed a beat -- in fact, we both agreed that they've stepped up the entire experience. The Kosher Israeli food is fresher and tastier than ever. The Green Shakshuka off the Brunch menu was a standout, featuring a rich, spiced tomato sauce topped with fresh baby spinach and two perfectly poached eggs. A major highlight to me was the swap from the traditional pita bread to a mini challah bread for dipping. The bread's sweetness perfectly complemented the savory stew. We finished with Turkish coffees and the Kitchen Kadaif, which was absolutely incredible. It's hard to believe it's dairy-free with a combination of shredded phyllo, rich halva, and shredded coconut that's the perfect balance of texture and sweetness. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing, ensuring we were out with plenty of time for our show at Studio 54. If you're looking for an authentic Mediterranean hidden gem in Midtown, this remains a must-visit.

    What an amazing experience . Food , service & quality Mike was amazing he made our day ! We will be back soon :)

    True Mediterranean food. My Israeli boyfriend approves. It was delicious. Went for lunch and the prices are good for what you get. They have Israeli beer options as well. I got a sangria and it was super refreshing. Server was super cute and friendly, good service. Inside is super cute. For dessert we got Malabi which is a Mediterranean flan, super yummy. Highly recommend. Loved it.

    The falafel laffa wrap was absolutely delicious. The falafel wasn't crispy anymore but the flavors were so good and the vegetables were fresh. Would definitely recommend this place for a casual lunch.

    Hummus Kitchen was so good! I'm visiting New York and wanted Mediterranean food, and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the humshuka which I have never had before and it was amazing!! The pita bread was so fluffy and tasty and was great paired with the hummus and poached egg it came with. This was part of their brunch prix fix menu, so it came with the appetizer trio that included grape leaves and cauliflower. The cauliflower sauce was amazing and paired well with the zest of the cauliflower. I wasn't the biggest fan of the grape leaf one but that's a personal preference. Lastly, our server Joanna was amazing!

    This was an audible to our original plans for dinner and I was so glad we came to Hummus Kitchen for dinner. Awesome quaint restaurant with minimal but effective decor. Loved the restaurant logo on the wall made from cement grout. Service was also wonderful. We ordered chicken shawarma tacos, veggie hummus, and my chicken shawarma platter with rice. All the food was delicious. Have to say the standout was the hummus with veggies. The roasted beets were incredible. The seasoning on them was so good. My wife and daughter who are normally not adventurous eaters loved eating here.

    Great place

    Really enjoyed brunch here since you get a mezze trio with your main dish. Also, there's some interesting brunch dishes that aren't on the regular menu. Such great Israeli food! Fava Mazze: Hearty beans and nice sauces. A really substantial appetizer. Cauliflower: Roasted and lightly pickled. It was decent, but it's still cauliflower. Stuffed Grape Leaves: Really loved how this got fancied up with fresh pomegranate seeds and a tangy herbal sauce. Plus, tasted fresher than those really dense grape leaves that are made a long time ago. Humshuka: This was the perfect choice for me. I wanted to taste the shakshuka, but I also wanted the signature hummus. This was mainly hummus, with some nice tomato stew swirls. The egg on top was kinda weird though since it wasn't runny, just pasty. But egg aside, great for sopping up with the fluffy fresh pita breads.

    Falafel LBox
    Merav L.

    Excellent food, one of the best falafels in town, and definitely the best Shug (spicy but delicious dip for those who love it, a must-have). The service is super friendly and welcoming, but not "hovering". The ambiance is very cool, authentic, and cozy. The meal was very satisfying and definitely more than enough: freshly fried falafel, fluffy baked pita, and freshly chopped salad. I just tasted the majadara because I am not a rice lover, but it was well seasoned and well done. And don't judge the glass of wine in the middle Of the day. It's very European :) In short: come hungry, leave happy.

    Had takeout and was quite impressed. Chicken was delicious, tender and flavorful and juicy. Paired great with the tasty salad, hummus, and rice. Looked like a nice spot to sit down at as well.

Lamb Adana Kebab comes with salad, which I can't have since it's cold and raw, but they were able to accommodate me and replaced salad with more rice. I had Kabak Tatlısı, which has a nice sweet taste and is healthy. All were delicious, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Plus, the Turkish Tea as the fourth course was a great pair with my meals. Their menu offers a variety of choices, including options that are gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. I would definitely come back and suggest you give this place a try if you are in Hell's Kitchen or Columbus Circle.

If you have kids, don't worry--they also have an appetizer that's similar to a mozzarella stick that was absolutely delicious. I just can't remember the name of it!

The spicy hummus isn't spicy (unless you keep eating it repeatedly on its own, at which point there may be a very mild spice building up in the back of your throat but nothing crazy). Now it may not be very spicy, but it is damn well one of the best hummus I've had because it was so velvety smooth and perfectly pureed with that fragrant nuttiness (hence why I was devouring it on its own at a certain point). The mixed grill platter is a good plate to share because it has a variety of meats like chicken and ground beef - beautifully roasted and so juicy. Personally wish it could come with rice instead of fries, but that's just a preference. Fattoush salad really complemented the whole meal with its fresh greens and tangy acidity to balance the creaminess of the hummus and savoriness of the kebabs. With good service and a cozy rustic interior, I'd recommend Au Za'atar as a solid spot for Middle Eastern cuisine :)

Lesson learned: if you're going with a group, make sure you have your final number when making the reservation because adding someone later may not be possible. We started with the Mezzi Filistini, a mixed platter of babaganoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata, tahini and labneh. This was very good, and we tackled it with zest, devouring it with the accompanying pita bread. We also ordered the falafel, chicken shawarma platter and beef kebab platter. The chicken shawarma was decent, but I would have loved more chicken and bigger pieces. There was considerably more rice than chicken, which made the platter feel a little unbalanced. The beef kebab was better, with a good portion of meat and rice, and the accompanying vegetables weren't too bad either. One disappointment for me was the lack of a proper hot sauce. Something with a little heat and flavor would have paired really well with both the shawarma and kebab and, for me, would have elevated the meal. Overall, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant. Service was also good for the most part, although I was disappointed that we weren't asked if we were interested in dessert before wrapping up the meal. Al Badawi is probably a place I would try again, but not one I'm in a rush to return to anytime soon.

We got an outdoor patio table and I found it quite inconvenient for me to place my purse on the floor since the seats could not hang anything. The dips are where it's at here, so we got the Labneh ($13) and Smoked Artic Char ($14). Of course we had to get some bread to accompany the dips and got the Frena ($13) and Pita ($7). I really wish it came with more bread because this wasn't enough and it's quite pricey for the portion. The frena is definitely one of the best breads, which comes with whole garlic pieces on focaccia-like bread. The pita did get quite hard after awhile, so you need to eat this one fresh. We enjoyed both dips, but the labneh is a must in my book. We also got the Grilled Wings ($21) and Scallops à la Plancha ($30), which were both nicely grilled. The wings were full of spicies and come plentiful, but scallops are a smaller portion. We were pretty stuffed with all the food, but had to end it with the Tahini Softserve ($15). This is a popular item here as almost every table had it. It's creamy with nutty, tart, and sweet flavors. It's also quite the presentation with such a tall swirl topped with halva floss. It's a delicious spot with a fun atmosphere, but on the pricey side. The labneh and soft serve are a must here.

I have been twice now, once on the East Side and again last night on the West Side, and I came away both times with the same impression: that some places are content to simply be good, over and over, without announcing it. The watermelon salad is sweet and hot at the same time, feta and mint against Italian chile, and it is the right thing to have first. The schnitzel is what it ought to be. The kebab, lamb and beef together, is the thing I would order if I were only allowed one thing. The knafeh cups are better on the East Side, where the crisp kataifi is laid over the cream rather than baked into a shell around it. On the West Side you have to break into the cup before you get anywhere. On the East Side the spoon goes straight down through the crunch and into the cream, and that is the whole difference. But it is the people I keep thinking about. They are kind without performing kindness, which is harder than it sounds. Last night I watched the room work, water poured, plates cleared, dishes set down, and it was never quite the same hand doing it, and never once the wrong one. A floor moves that way only when everyone on it is paying attention to everyone else. Two visits, two neighborhoods, one restaurant. I suspect that is the point.
