Best hummus in NYC. Always great vibe/service. Also nice Turkish coffee the authentic way.

Awesome food! Alon our server was great! Highly recommend the schnitzel challah sandwich.

Food is incredible. Service was great. It's cute inside, ambience is nice. Pita, hummus, babaganoush, and schnitzel is soooo good. Definitely coming back! read more

We come here every so often and petty much order the same things - we love their stuffed pitas, falafel or chraime salmon or couscous...with cauliflower and/or grape leaves for appetizer. But today we tried a new (to us) appetizer called mashwiya, and it's absolutely delicious! Tried a different dessert tonight too. Usually, baklava or malabi. But this time we had the chocoloco, a creamy wonderful chocolate mousse. Nothing is bad here! Edit: I forgot to describe the mashwiya. It's smoked eggplant 'salad' mashed with grilled peppers and onions and serrano pepper - don't panic, it's not a flaming hot spiciness, just a kick. Even my spicy-averse husband liked it! It's served with a wonderful warmed fluffy pita. read more

My boyfriend and I came and we got the Mezze Trio and a Shawarma Wrap. The waitress was really nice and took great care of us. The hot apple cider was amazing. We tired it both with and without wine. I also love the little leaves in the vases. read more

Awesome place to come for Med food. Tho the place can be a bit tight but the food speaks for itself. The food are freshly made and its combo of spices make them memorable. We ordered hummus and med red chicken. They were delish and we were offered free pita bread refill so that we could dip them into the sauce making it a savory experience. Definitely worth coming back in the future : ) read more

Valentine's dinner that really didn't hit as well as it should've. All my food looked tasty but it wasn't quite the flavor that I'd expect. Sometimes hummus has that bitter aftertaste. Not all restaurants have that but this is sadly one of them. Like Mamoun's Falafel. I got the hummus kitchen plate with four different hummus (chicken, beef, garbanzo beans, and plain) but it all tasted fine. Could use more oil I think. The beef was my favorite. The senya shakshuka was creamy and good but again could've used more flavor. The French bread was just ok. We got the cauliflower appetizer and that also had a bitter taste. A little burnt taste it felt like. The service was exceptional. They were super friendly. They threw in fries for us (which were my favorite dish of the meal). Super salty, flavor, and hot. They even gave us a complimentary shot but we don't drink. Very thoughtful. read more

First impressions: the space is cozy and tastefully decorated, with decor that feels authentic at first glance. The host was attentive, and we were seated right away--always a good start. I was a little surprised when the server handed us the menus and we opened the front flap to discover... tablets. That said, I actually appreciated the photos of each menu item--it made ordering easier and faster. Now, the food. Hands down, this was the best Mediterranean food I've had in the U.S. We ordered the chicken shawarma tacos and a side of falafel. The falafel was soft on the inside (not dry at all) and crispy on the outside, sitting in a bed of the smoothest tahini cream I've ever tasted--and I don't even like tahini. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, and every bite actually had chicken. No skimping on the protein here. The pita pocket was small but soft and fresh, not dry. Best part: the chicken taco came with small sides of hummus, baba ganoush, creamed tahini, and finely chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. Boom. Every single element was delicious. One downside: there's only one restroom, it's small, and while it's tastefully decorated, it could have used a bit more attention. Would I go back? 100% yes. I honestly wish I could teleport this place back home with me so I could become a regular. read more

Went to Hummus Kitchen on the Upper East Side with my cousin and mom; had a really nice time. I ordered the chicken shawarma on pita and a Mosquito cocktail during happy hour. The food was fresh and filling, and the half priced cocktails were a great deal. Service was quick, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and comfortable. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the Seniya handheld in a pita, and it was packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh, and the pita was perfect. The spicy sauce on the side was just the right amount of heat and complemented the sandwich perfectly. The restaurant has an authentic vibe that really adds to the experience, and the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. It made for a great overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu! read more

Small kosher Israeli spot with a few tables outdoors if you choose. Salmon lunch special was perfect . Salmon was cooked as requested (rare) with creamy humus , rice and delicious assortment of grilled veggies. I had the mazze trio (pick 3) - babaganoush, Israeli salad and grape leaves which were a bit different than I'm used to. These had meat and were sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. Very good and tasty. Side of pita. A small on the house desert tasted like vanilla soft serve - also delicious. Friendly service. They have a few locations around NYC. I'd go back! read more

I had a horrible experience. Reached out a few times and the restaurant did nothing. They also keep removing my reviews. Major red flag.

I went for dinner and ordered the charred eggplant, falafel taco, and seni'ya taco. Overall, the food was okay, but not worth the Google ratings hype. I also didn't think that the price matched what was served for the charred eggplant ($17) -- it was mostly a ton of tahini poured over a small charred eggplant and about 6 pita chips spread throughout the dish. I thought the tahini was overpowering and the 6 countable pita chips too few to eat the eggplant; especially if the pita chips are supposed to be the vessel to carry the eggplant. You get two "tacos" per order. They are like two small pita pockets. The falafel looked dry, whereas the seni-ya (ground beef and lamb) was flavorful. The space is small/ intimate and the service is okay. They bring you small ipads to look at the menu. read more

I got the Chicken Kabob Platter for dinner which was kinda standard. The chicken I felt like didn't have that classic Mediterranean Kabob flavor and texture to it, but it was fine. I liked the red sauce that came with it. The rice on the other hand was amazing and very fragrant. I absolutely loooooved the Hummus here. It was so light and smooth and generally balanced with a little tang to it, and the chickpeas were very soft. The pita was great as well and dipped well in the hummus yummmm I just need to get one of the larger hummus dishes next time. read more

I was in the area and was looking for some middle eastern food and decided to try Hummus Kitchen. I had the Falafel Lunchbox special and it was delicious. It came with Your choice of protein and was serviced with majadra rice, hummus , cuke/onion/tomato salad and pita. The salad was well marinated and so flavorful. Often I feel like these salads don't have enough infusion of flavor but this one was fantastic! The hummus was creamy smooth and delicious. The pita was soft and amazing. The falafel sat on top of a bed of a veggie and tahini that added a nice contrast. The majadra rice was also very good! It is a lot of food. I would definitely recommend an def com back and try some of the other proteins! I had the Kitchen Kadaif for dessert and it was was light and delicious . It was a new dessert to me . The server recommended it since it was a warm day. The server was also very attentive. read more

Strange to write an update less than a week after my initial review. Our first visit was for dinner. Today's was lunch with a friend. A number of restaurants generate business with lunch specials. Hummus Kitchen is no different. Check out my photo; you choose a main which comes with hummus, salad, rice and pita, served together on a segmented plate. My friend and I each ordered salmon. I was a little concerned cause I prefer mine medium rare and she does not. "It'll come out overcooked," I thought to myself. But NO! Both orders of salmon were prepared as requested, and simply delicious. Hummus is creamier and infinitely better than the packaged kind most of us are familiar with. The salad was great, grilled vegetables and beets a good touch. The rice .... well, not everything's a winner. I like this little restaurant, and will most assuredly return. read more

Pretty good brunch deal for $22, includes entree and small appetizer. We shared the shakshuka which had a great flavor, slightly spicy, and the French toast with halva, fruit, date honey was delicious. Service was nice but my only complaint was the restaurant is pretty cold inside (in winter). read more

Got new things coming back here, still my favorite hummus place - Mediterranean chicken: this came with the freya bread and so tender. The sauce said that it was spicy, but didn't think that was the case. It was much more tomato based than I expected, similar to shakshuka - The shakshuka senya was still good, and came with a bread I didn't recognize. Not my favorite but certainly the portion size was Plentiful for everything. read more

HK has been a mainstay of the UES for over a decade. The food is consistently excellent. It's a cozy space that we've preferred to visit when it's not completely packed. Over the many years the staff has of course changed but everyone we've met has always been friendly, helpful and prompt. Standout dishes include the Moroccan laffa wrap and the shakshuka. read more

Absolutely delicious meal. Went with a vegan friend - he was happy with his vegan dish, I was very happy with my schnitzel and side dishes

My office catered this for a work lunch. Everything tasted great that I'd come here for a dinner sometime.
