Have been here a few times now for both lunch and dinner (weekends and weekdays) and the food and service is always great. I first went to Hummus Kitchen at their UES location, but this one is equally wonderful. The space is on the smaller side (a bit narrow) and they have indoor seating for around 20-25 people. I recommend making a reservation in advance. The servers are friendly, attentive and the food comes out fairly quickly. As the name implies, the hummus here is excellent as is the thick pita it comes with (they have regular and whole wheat). If you haven't been before, get "the hummus kitchen" as it has 4 different types of hummus you can try. The mazze are also tasty, my favorite would have to be the grape leaves, but the falafel, cauliflower and babaghanoush are also extremely delicious (you can order any 3 for $28 and it comes with pita). For entrees, I highly highly recommend the chicken shawarma tacos (2 per serving) followed by the open arais tacos (also 2 per serving) and the Mediterranean red chicken (in that order). If you don't go with the shawarma tacos or want less bread, then the shawarma platter is also a good choice. The chicken shawarma tacos here are simply incredible, they serve them in their warm fluffy pita, sliced in half, open and fill the inside with chicken, onions and whatever else makes is so ridiculously addictive. This thing is bursting with flavor, it has to be the best chicken shawarma I have had in NYC. The tacos also come with a small side of hummus and babaghanoush along with pickles and some tomato salad. The portions are what you would expect as are the prices. Really a delicious spot if you are in the area or want a great/quick meal before or after a show. read 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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Once again, a marvelous meal here. I didn't even know that they have brunch! But they do! My son-in-law and grandson were in town to go see Tosca at the Met. We needed a place not too far from Lincoln Center and not too far from our apartment. This was the perfect spot. We arrived around 1:15 without a reservation and all tables were taken inside. But they have a small enclosure on the sidewalk in front so we pushed the 2 little tables together and it was fine. Back to brunch...I often get a falafel "taco" platter or shakshuka. Both here are excellent. But on the brunch menu they have a humshuka, which is a platter of hummus and shakshuka with just 1 egg on top. Your choice of whole wheat or regular pita. SO good! Son-in-law had the sinya shakshuka, which is with beef, and with it came a miniature challah loaf! He had a beer as well. The brunch special includes a small 3-section dish with an appetizer sample. This was one stuffed grape leaf, 2 pieces of their excellent roasted cauliflower, and a luscious bean salad. Everyone ordered the special. Grandson and husband had something we've never seen before, I think it was spelled jeneh or something like that. It was a rolled up kind of slow cooked bread, served with a brown egg, some pickles, Israeli salad and tahini. Not satisfying enough for my husband, but I was stuffed and was happy to share some hummus and pita with him. We didn't think that particular dish was worth the price, but live and learn. Service here is always good and so is the food! read more

Wow was really blown away with the quality and amount of food here! We came for the lunch special- one of us got the chicken shwarma and the other got salmon. Both were absolutely delicious. The salmon had the perfect sear, while the chicken was juicy and flavorful and came with a delicious sauce that really took it to the next level. The special also came with a cucumber/tomato salad, hummus, mujadara and warm pita bread- all were so fresh and flavorful. My only complaint is that it was a little pricey, especially when compared to other lunch specials- I believe it was around $18-22? However, the quality and quantity of the food made it worth it for me! I had enough leftovers for almost another meal read more

This was a beautiful restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine. The interior was warm and cozy with art on the brick wall, pretty lights hanging from the ceiling. There was a digital menu with photographs of the food offerings. For the appetizer, I got try my friend's Baba Ganoush and pita bread. The Baba Ganoush was creamy and tasty, while the bread was soft, as well as fresh. I ordered Grilled Salmon, served with veggies and rice mixed with lentils. The Salmon was lightly crispy, tender and well seasoned. The rice was perfectly cooked, while the veggies were tasty and fresh. In addition, I tasted my friend's schnitzel, which was lightly breaded, crunchy, and full of great savory flavor. For dessert, my friend and I shared the Kadij Kitchen and Loco Morocco, which was chocolate mousse cake, with coconut and whipped cream. I loved the Kadij Kitchen, which consisted of halva parfait on shredded phyllo dough, topped with halva ice cream. This was simply delightful, with delicate spun halva, flaky dough, along with a sticky velvety smooth ice cream that didn't seem to melt. The taste was not too sweet, yet very satisfying. The Chocolate Mousse was also yummy, rich in chocolate and creamy goodness. Service was good. Our waitress was friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. I would definitely return to try the Moroccan Fish or Beef. read more

Best hummus I've ever tasted! In this NYC foodie mecca, I am grateful for finding Hummus Kitchen. It was our last night in Manhattan and we were looking for somewhere near our hotel for dinner. We narrowed it down to mediterranean and Hummus Kitchen was just a few blocks away. So off we went. We almost didn't see it because it's the definition of a hole in the wall. There is not much seating inside, but it was late and we got a table quickly. Our server arrived almost instantly and presented us with electronic tablets for menus. We got some hummus appetizer with pita bread. We all agreed that the hummus was unlike any hummus we've ever tasted. It was buttery smooth and tasted delicious! Yom Yom Yom! We also tried the Grilled chicken, Shawarma platter, Seniya Pita taco and the Arais. Everything we had was delicious. The chicken was juicy. The marinated beef was grilled perfectly. The sauces were spot on. Even the pita bread was toasted just right. It's true everything tastes better when you're hungry, so we must've been really hungry! Our server was very attentive and we didn't have any room for dessert. If I lived nearer, I would probably eat here every other week. Bon apetite. read more

Overall a great meal with fun dips and varieties to make your plate your own. Service was excellent and quick, and location was convenient. Nestled in an area with tons of restaurants, it's tough to pick, but if you're in the mood for Greek/med vibe this was delish. Salmon tacos- stuffed full of meat, so very filling. The salmon was super moist and had great flavor and was delish with the babaganush. Shawarma tacos- the only meat in these was chicken, it didn't appear to have any lamb (so not sure if my order got mixed up or if that was their version of shawarma)... loved the Greek salad served with both tacos although there wasn't very much of it. Overall, somewhat pricey considering it wasn't an overly 'special' experience of any kind, ambiance was good and service was great. read more

Simply put, Hummus Kitchen always serves solid, absolutely delicious food. This was my third or fourth trip there and it never disappoints. This time around, a friend and I split a few mezze (hummus, baba), which were fantastic. I then opted for the vegan shawarma "tacos," which were cauliflower florets pan-fried in a fantastic curry-based seasoning. I'd planned on having just one half but couldn't control myself (what's new?!) and inhaled both in near-record time. To top it off, the service was excellent. Two servers stopped by to ensure that we had what we needed, but didn't smother or hover. Already looking forward to the next trip to HK. read more

Ugh I'm pretty generous with my reviews but this was just not it. Walked in on a whim while searching for lunch, service wasn't really there but I don't mind usually if the food is up to par (it wasn't). Got a lunch platter that had falafel, mujadara, a salad, hummus and pita. Everything was bland, salad was clearly pre made as it was soggy and unappetizing. Falafel was extremely under on the inside. Mujadara was not the mujadara I've had in the past...pita bread felt store bought. Had a lemonade with mint which wasn't too tasty felt really really sugary. I know the pic looks good but I ended up eating a quarter of it. The bathroom is right beside the pass for the kitchen which is very very strange and felt unclean. Saw a line cook test someone's food with his fingers to see if it was still hot while I was waiting to use the toilet (it was definitely dead in the pass but they sent it out). They sat me on the bench which was very uncomfortable. read more

Qofte (6/5) - iabsolutely fantastic. Meat, vegetables, and potatoes were paired so well together. White sauce was delicious! 3. Grilled Octopus (4/5) - this was OK. Perhaps octopus was overcooked? grilled vegetables were simple, but yummy and delicious. 4. Kajmak (4/5) - I was expecting its texture to be more firm like greet yogurt, but it was a bit watery. The restaurant is super charming and I will definitely go back to try other main dishes.

The food itself was bad -- like really bad. From start to finish everything missed the mark: The hummus was bland and tasted like someone forgot the spices. The doma (dolmas) were disappointing and didn't have the rich flavor they should. Even the baklava, which should be a sweet highlight, was dry, lackluster, and honestly not enjoyable. The Turkish coffee was so bitter it was almost undrinkable -- if you like bitter coffee, maybe it's your thing, but it wasn't what I expected. They market themselves as Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine, but what I ate didn't come close to what I'd consider good food in that category. My stomach was still growling afterward -- and not in a "I want more" way, but in a "why did I eat this?" way. The staff and service were fine and the atmosphere is pretty, but at the end of the day it's just not worth it when the food itself is so underwhelming. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for authentic or tasty Turkish/Middle Eastern food.

I got to try a variety of different items, inducing: ayran, chicken Adana sandwich on home bread, Turkish tea, and rice pudding. The ayran was probably the best I've ever had in my life. It was so refreshing, the perfect amount of salt, so good. And it's homemade. I would highly recommend you try this drink regardless of what you order, it's that good. The chicken Adana sandwich was also quite nice. The chicken was fresh and well seasoned in a good portion with some lettuce, onions, tomatoes as well. The bread was great. It's served with two wonderful, flavorful sauces: hot sauce and yogurt sauce (I much prefer the latter). Portion is incredible for the price. Then, I was initially interested in trying the fig pudding for dessert but they were out of it, so I went with the rice pudding. Again, a huge portion that is well worth the price. So creamy, so good. And, they brought out 2 Turkish teas for free to make up for not having the fig! The people are just very nice here, and the tea was also lovely, piping hot and just perfect. It's a pretty small restaurant but doesn't get crowded early on. They were playing some Turkish music while I ate, and I really enjoyed it. The people are very kind and attentive and the food is just incredible. Must try!

The falafel was perfectly crisp with a slightly smoky outer crust that added really great texture and flavor. A bit dry tho -- Needed the hummus and Mezze Platter to dress it up a little. Salad was refreshing, crispy and a great palette cleanser across the table. The combo platter + mixed rice was fabulous. Chicken was tender and came right off the bone (something I'm new to but it was good!). It came with a side of tzatziki and persian zhoug (?) - a minty and herby chutney that just added another layer to the aromatics of the dish. Although the rice was great, it was a really large portion even for the group of 5. It would've been nice to have the option to split to a half portion of vegetables or different grain to balance quantity. Overall 8.9/10 - Definitely worth a visit with a group for business dinner or catching up on a friend's night out. The service is great, everyone is super attentive and you can really feel that the food with made with love. So glad I tried this place and I'll be back to give their dolmeh and dessert a taste!

I came here a few days ago with some friends and to be honest I never liked hummus until I came to the Hummus Kitchen. We came for dinner. The hummus is delicious and fresh, we shared a hummus kitchen (four tyes of hummus: chickpea, tahini, fava bean and mushroom). The mushroom hummus is one of the best things ever. We also got a couple of entrees and shared, chicken couscous, seniya and falafel laffa. The chicken couscous has a wonderful sweet flavor and the falafel laffa hits the spot. I agree with the other yelpers who say the falafel is a great, another mediteranian stapple I was never crazy about until the hummus kitchen. However the seniya was not my cup of tea, the lamb and beef combo was weird to my palate, however our waiter Paul told us it was a very popular dish and my friends really enjoyed it. The ambiance and music was really good, the small restaurant is intimate but it can get a little too crowded. Make sure you don't have too much stuff with you when you come. The molten chocolate cake (dairy-free) is scrumptious, so save room for dessert. Although since it is baked fresh expect at least 10 min to be tacked on to your dining time. (It's like waiting for a soufle at a french place, well worth the wait.) Also if you are into interesting cocktails and unique beer definitely check here. They have mediteranian versions of cocktails, the mojito, the pommetini. Also what I drank a yummy lemon arak (frozen lemon mint alcohol mix which you can also get sans alcohol). Plus they have an Isrealli beer Gold Star that tastes like a refreshing light lager. This is definitely a place to check out, friendly staff, nice environment, good music and good eats, the perfect recipe for any night out. read more

To start off I would like to say that the food here is some of the best Mediterranean food that I've had. I have no qualms about that and would recommend it on food alone. The waitress, Marilyn, was very sweet and helpful as well. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, the management at this establishment is horrific. We were sitting in the middle of the restaurant, which is pretty small, and heard nothing but the manager, Noah, yelling at the waitresses from her regal perch at the rear table where she was eating. She was trying to train a new waitress. OK. That's nice. Throughout our meal she kept yelling across the restaurant and over the other patrons. Unacceptable. When my boyfriend commented on this she flew over like a harpy from Hades, and began yelling AT US. Now, I spent 9 years in the customer service industry and I know people can be annoying or a pest, but you keep it to yourself and be polite. Especially when you are then manager of a dining establishment. She told us we were being unreasonable asking that she not yell and keep putting her arms in front of our food. Noah kept telling us that "Israelis are loud and it's part of my culture. Why are you telling me not to be part of my culture." This woman could benefit from being committed. When we asked if she was the owner, she claimed she was despite the fact that she is not and we will be getting in contact with him. So long story short, if you like Mediterranean food, I would eat here. If you value your ears and dining experience, go to one of their sister locations and not the one in Hell's Kitchen, because that's where you feel like you're eating. read more

I wanted to give this restaurant 1 star, because of a very unethical practice they do. However, the food is good. If you pay for your food with cash, they keep the coin change to round out the bill, in their favor. Most people won't ask for their .60 cents or whatever the remainder of the dollar. I didn't ask for my change, but asked the reason they why they don't give change: they don't keep coin change in the regisitar? The waitress got very condescending, answering us very loudly,(the place is small). She said, Well people just leave it on the table, so we don't give it back to them. No, I don't care about my .50 cents. Thats' not the point. I'm a big believer in tipping well. I think NYers are the most generous tippers in the world. But this whole experience was just somehow wrong. A business shouldn't have a policy where you round off the total of the check...in their favor. It's not their money to decide to do that. Very presumptous. read more

I've made up my mind. I like Hummus Place on 74th better. This place has hummus, and all the options, but somehow the bill always gets to be more than Hummus Place, and the portions are smaller. I like the ambiance here, but I prefer some faster service for sure.The prices are very reasonable but the menu doesn't have a lot of variety. The mushroom hummus is good but not amazing, it tasted like any other hummus I had eaten just with mushrooms on top. The complimentary pita bread was not very good. I did enjoy the Bureka (puff pastry filled with cheese). The Tabule tasted okay and the falafel was pretty good but not outstanding, good dipping sauce though. My favorite thing was the Knaffe - which is a dessert made of fillo dough, sweet goat cheese and this sweet syrup which the waitress recommended. read more

I am new to the area and am exploring the different restaurants in the area, today I ordered lunch from the Hummus Kitchen. I ordered an Egyptian hummus and with their lunch special got it with a side of bureka for free and for my drink I ordered a pomegrante lemonade. Hummus comes with pita which was toasted and fresh tasting. I also got a baklava and it was a little too sweet for my taste. Reading the reviews about delivery I was nervous about ordering for delivery but I was happily surprised, everything was neatly packed and the girl on the phone was very helpful with my first time orderer questions. I was overall happy with my experience and will order again, also I am going to dine in soon and will post an updated review on that experience soon. read more

I don't really go to Hell's Kitchen, but my friend insisted we dine at this restaurant (and I'm so glad we did). Since it was a Saturday afternoon, it was really busy but the waitress did her best to accommodate us asap and even offered lemonade while we waited. They offer a pre-fix brunch with so many appetizer samplers- that were all aesthetically and deliciously pleasing. And bottomless sangria and mimosa for $7! This is the kind of food you'll enjoy and not feel bad after eating it. I tell all my friends to check it out. read more

Just came back from Israel a week ago, the flavors in this restaurant made me feel like I'm in Tel Aviv. The Hummus Chicken is amazing & the pita bread felt like they just baked it.
