    Mediterranean Red Chicken
    Bethany R.

    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.

    Chicken Kebab

    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.

    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!

    Quick and attentive service! We ordered the Hummus Kitchen, Shawarma Tacos, Shawarma Plate, and Shakshouka. Warm pita bread came out with the hummus, a perfect vehicle for the 4 different types of hummus (sirloin, chicken, tahini, and original). The shawarma was juicy and perfectly seasoned. I like how the taco came with an array of sides: baba ganoush, hummus, pickles, salad, and tahini. Overall a fantastic dinner!

    Salmon Lunch Special- $20ish
    Alexus S.

    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

    My experience with Hummus Kitchen is based solely on delivery. The food is always delicious, the order is always well packed and arrives on time or early! Great hummus, delicious falafel laffa sandwiches and also the schnitzel is really good too. Tasty chug sauce to accompany your sandwich Very much recommend ordering from Hummus Kitchen if you are craving middle eastern food that is high quality.

    Hummus and Babaganush

    Delicious dinner here! We got the trio mazes and love the fries. The falafel laffa was the star of the show - would definitely get this for lunch. Service is superb too.

    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.

    The Shakshuka Senya was freaking delicious. The rich tomato sauce with ground beef and a perfectly poached egg was packed with flavor, and the warm challah bread was perfect for dipping and eating the food like mini tacos. definitely coming back when I'm in town.

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.

We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.
