    Come support this Pasadena gem. You can get a chicken lunch plate forIt's comes up side. But when I went, I got the beef Shawarma plate with hummus and cauliflower. The cauliflower is crispy on the top and cooked just right. Joseph Jean, the owner is so sweet and nice and his staff are nice as well. Come support this as they would need the community support as due to the fire and many people have to community so if you're in Pasadena area or in the SGV area, be sure to stop by and support.

    I will be coming back for this meal so much. I have been meaning to come and try this place for a while and it didn't disappoint. The hummus is absolutely incredible and the chicken, rice, and pita are all great. Lovely deal with large portions!

    I've always come to Hummus Lab for their lunch special, and it has always been good. This time, I went with my friend and we tried the Ultimate Combo. We sat inside the restaurant, which is relatively small and has only a few tables. We both enjoyed the filet mignon kabob and the salad. The red beet dill hummus was mostly enjoyed by me with the pita bread. The chicken mini shawarma nachos weren't really our thing and were pretty much untouched. Although we enjoyed the combo, I would say the lunch special with the chicken kabob is a much better value. I probably wouldn't order this combo again.

    went and tried their all day lunch specials - there's a choice of chicken kebab or cauliflower and it comes with rice, hummus, salad and pita for $12, we got one of each- the cauliflower was more flavorful, the order was ready within 15-20 min and service was really great. will be back to try their other items!

    Awesome kabob place in Pasadena! Came here on a weekday for dinner (takeout) and ordered the beef shawarma platter with half rice and half salad. For sides, I got cumin lime hummus and classic hummus. The name definitely lived up to its standards - the hummus was amazing! Thick and creamy! The portion is big as well and the beef was marinated to perfection! Staff was super friendly! Highly recommend! There are also a few seats inside for dine in!

    WOW! When I say this was delicious, I mean it. I never had this place before but for teacher/staff appreciation week our PTA got us this and wow so yummy!! PTA ordered: Chicken Kabob Filet Mignon Kabob Fattoush Salad Rice Hummus Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus Tzatziki Pita Chips Pita Bread Cauliflower This meal was incredibly delicious and I plan to come eat here and order takeout because of how delicious the food was. My favorite was the rice and cauliflower, i'm not the biggest fan of cauliflower, but this place made them taste incredible! Highly recommend especially if catering!!

    Lunch special Chicken Kabob Plate
    Will M.

    I've been working in Pasadena for a couple of years now, and honestly, most of the lunch spots have started to feel a little played out. So when I drove past Hummus Labs and saw they had a lunch special, I decided to check it out. I tried the chicken kabob plate, which comes with your choice of white or dark meat, I went with dark. The chicken was served in big, juicy chunks and was super moist. The rice it came with was flavorful and fluffy. The plate also included a small salad, some classic hummus, and pita bread. The place itself is pretty small, so I'd recommend calling in your order if you're trying to grab lunch during the rush. Overall, the meal was tasty, felt healthy, and was just the kind of simple lunch I needed. They also tons of other items that I want to try like shawarma nachos ?! I'm definitely going to start adding this to my lunch rotation.

    Ultimate combo
    Grace C.

    BF and his family know if I recommend a Mediterranean place, it's like the highest praise from me because I'm not the biggest fan of this type of cuisine. So when I tried the nachos at Hummus Labs, I knew I had tasted something golden. So backing up, Donna S. and I met up for a weekday dinner at Hummus Labs. They close at 7 pm on weeknights, so we got here around 5 pm to have enough time to order and enjoy our meal on-site. Decent amount of seating inside and you can move tables around if you have large groups. There was so much good options on the menu that we decided to split one of the shared platters -- the Ultimate Combo ($34.95), which comes with a chicken kabob skewer, filet mignon kabob skewer, mini shawarma nachos, salad, and choice of hummus. The menu says this feeds 2 people and it certainly did! We picked the roasted tomato habanero hummus. We had initially ordered a side of falafel too, but that order didn't get put in. It worked out in the end because we still had food leftover from our ultimate combo. Everything was super delicious. If you're unsure of what to try and you have a small group, the ultimate combo is the way to go. While both kabobs were delicious, the shawarma nachos were something else! It's the crisp pita chips that make the nachos so good, though the chicken and hummus and seasonings wrap it all nicely together. Donna S. and I both placed a separate order of the full sized chicken shawarma nachos ($15.95) to enjoy at home later. The lady taking our order was very helpful with my questions on what to order and the differences between certain options and dishes. It was her suggestion to try the combo platter when I was struggling to decide amongst the nachos, the individual kabob platter, the individual shawarma platter, or the wraps. Also appreciate her helpful tips when picking the hummus for our platter. I didn't realize there's a free parking lot that you'd enter off Mentor Ave, so I ended up parking on the streets. I usually don't see free parking for many Pasadena businesses so this is a nice bonus! All in all, a successful yummy dinner done at Hummus Labs.

    This place is super yummy! Had some great wins and a few not great but ok. Lamb chops good Rice Salad not so ok Chicken kabobs would of been better if it was white meat instead of dark and I love dark meat Beet hummus was ok Original hummus yum! Habanero had a kick and was delicious Cumin and lime hummus was eh The salad was a little too tangy for me but the pita croutons were a hit! Prices are reasonable in our inflation time Will be back

    My husband and I stopped by on Saturday, Nov 30, 2024 before 12:30 PM. We have tried hummus labs before, but this was my first time at the physical store! We ordered: Special - Chicken Kabob Platter $11.95 - This is a good deal. The chicken was perfectly cooked, moist, and not dry at all. It was quite flavorful. I enjoyed their hummus - leans slightly on the salty. The salad was decent - I would choose another side next time. Shwarma Beef Nachos $17.95 - Delicious but also salty. They are a little pricier but give you plenty of meat on top of pita chips. This dish was a little too salty for my liking, but it was still yummy. Seating: Indoor seating is available! Customer Service: It was good! The lady who helped us was warm, friendly, and courteous! Overall, a great experience, and we would come back!

    Mediterranean Salmon

    I'm so glad my friend found this hidden gem! We were there a little before 6PM and there wasn't anyone around, it does give the vibe that more people come for takeout than dine in. Good portion sizes and everything tasted delicious! I got the Mediterranean salmon with a side of cauliflower and cumin lime hummus. I don't know what they put on that cauliflower, but it was one of the best I've ever had! I also had a pleasant surprise in my plate and was given the fattoush salad! The lady that took my order saw my interest in trying but ultimately I declined and said I'd try it next time, but she still included it in my order without an extra charge! That was so kind of her and I wish I knew her name to give her a shoutout here. I personally thanked her when I noticed. I will definitely be stopping by again because I need to try those nachos!

    Was hanging out at home and looking for some good Mediterranean food. Enter Hummus labs...deliver available thru various vendors and really good Yelp! Reviews so yeah...lets see what the hype is all about.... Ordered delivery and found a variety of options from chicken shawarma to salmon to classic falafel plates...lots of good hummus options...even something new ( habanero hummus anyone?) Went ahead and ordered a variety of plates and off we went. Food came in and really good value for the money wuth hefty plates. Food was amazing! I ve had great Mediterranean options in the past and this ranked up there with really tasty varieties of options. Salmon was perfect and spiced right and not overcooked...really a good value for the money and lived well up to the hype! I ll be back for sure...well worth a go if you want good Mediterranean food...

    Do you guys sell gift cards?

    Hi Andrew, at the moment we do not have gift cards.

    Is everything on the menu halal?

    Unfortunately we don’t have halal consistently on the menu. At the moment our filet mignon skewer and beef shawarma are halal.

    Is there dine in here yet?

    Last time I visited (about a month ago), a saw diners eating inside the restaurant. I'm sure if you call, they will let you know. They are very nice.

    Trying to order for delivery on different platforms shown on their website but why aren't there any options to add extra skewers on the side?

    Unfortunately there isnt however I suggest you call them directly to place your order so you can add separate skewers!… Read more

    Should we make reservations first for outdoor dining?

    Hi Katy, our outdoor dining is based on a first come forst served basis.

    Any gluten free dishes?

    All of our proteins are gluten free. Our rice can be substituted for lettuce or upgrades to a salad for a nominal fee. All of our dips are gluten free as well.

    How much time should I order before going for pick-up? Any suggestions on time frame? Thank u.

    I feel in general 30 - 45 min in advance has been enough time to order for regular plates.

    Do you deliver? We're in South Pas.

    Yes I do offer delivery. You’ll have to place the order through my website, Hummus-Labs.com and click the order now button. I have a 5 mile radius at the moment.

This was my first time ever trying falafels, dolmas, and boregs and wow. The falafel had a Fun crunchy outside with a crumbly yet not dry inside and full of aromatic flavors. The dolmas were really good too. Moist and herby. The boregs kinda reminded me of empanadas in both flavors and textures from the crisp fried outer pastry to savory fillings. The chicken shawarma wrap was stuffed with tender marinated chicken, fries, a bit of tomato and pepper and schmearing of creamy garlicy spread, and came with a side of refreshing cucumber yogurt salad. The best part was when that pita soaked up all the other juices of the chicken to make it even more flavorful. The meats in the combo plate had a nice char, were super savory, flavorful, well seasoned but were a bit overcooked and dry. But that's ok cuz that's where the super flavorful dips came in. There was the refreshing cucumber salad, smooth creamy nutty hummus, and pungent garlicy sauce that paired perfectly with everything. It also came with rice, an herby bright tabouleh salad, pickled turnips and crunchy fresh onions. The baklava was MASSIVE and was a bit dry and hard but had plenty of crisp pastry layers, crunchy nuts, was amazingly sweet and cinnamony. Overall this place is pretty good.

I also noticed the aroma of mesquite smoke, which is a principle difference between their food and many others that use gas grills. The wonderful lady at the counter welcomed me and suggested the split kabob plate with half each beef and chicken. She also gave me the lunch and dinner menus to peruse. I grabbed a table and didn't wait long before my order was ready. Lots of rice pilaf, hummus, and tabouli. Additionally, there was a portion of garlic sauce. The portion of meat was equally impressive. I was still afflicted with recent dental work so I had to eat slowly and carefully. Their food is very crushable if not for that. They also quarter the pita bread which allows easier dipping or making mini wraps. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be back sooner than later to try the Lula (aka koubideh), lamb, and other unique house specials. The essence of wood smoke is especially good, so that's a high mark. 4.5 overall My only criticisms are the rice could have been warmer, and the sauce more garlicky.

For years I've seen and heard how highly rated this place is. We had a Friday evening reservation. The restaurant is nice and all located on the second floor with an open lit up patio, which is really nice. Given it was a particularly warm evening, and the sun was still glaring, we opted to sit indoors. Unfortunately, they sat us at a table right by one of the doors to exit out. It was left open for the most part, given the wait staff used it to go in and out. I'm not complaining about the heat, but having a big suctioned gust of hot air hit me, my hair and my food that should've remained cold constantly was not a good experience. That being said, I did enjoy the ambiance & hustle & bustle of the diners, groups, and families dining alongside of us. The restaurant is nice, as I said, but our table was too small & the seat of our chairs, which were made of cloth, were disgustingly dirty and large black stains! Like a dirty restaurant carpet. The wait staff was meh. Not bad, but not helpful/great. Just alright. We mentioned how it was our first visit, a usual flag and opportunity for wait staff to give you an overview, fan favorites, and personal notes - nothing. Comment just fell flat. We had a couple of $19/glass cabs. Just alright and highly priced. But the waiter could not understand what I was ordering and had to have me eventually point it out on the paper menu. Not a big deal, but my point about this is that the wait staff is not exceptional like at other neighboring restaurants where the waiters are engaging, familiar with every aspect of their menu without looking at it and conduct themselves with a pride behind their service. This was "just get the job done" at minimum vibe. Let's move on to the food...which by the way wasn't timed carefully so this is where that small table became an issue...There were some promising highs, as we started with the incredible tasting hummus & puffy warm pita, fresh out of the oven. We opted to add the veggies to the dish for an extra $4 and they too were crispy, cold and fresh. We had fried calamari, unfortunately, that was rubbery - pass! Esp at the price. Since it was my first time here, I wanted to try the Greek salad. For me, it was wonderful. Rough chopped delicious vegetables and a slab of feta, with a delicious oily vinaigrette. My husband was disappointed, expecting an actual Greek salad with greens. To his point, this is something they should note on the menu, given we wanted to share it. For entrees, my husband got the beef kabob plate. He thought the rice was okay, but it was another pass for me. Fast food by my house makes one twice as good. Didn't expect that from this highly rated, highly priced place. His beef was alright. My chicken thigh was disgusting, I'm not being extra, I couldn't eat it. It tasted like microwaved grilled chicken tenders (held a tenders' shape even) previously frozen and had zero flavor. I was beyond disappointed! They added heavy char lines, which I normally would love as an added touch to flavorful chicken I'm accustomed to with this type of fare but since there was zero flavor from the chicken, the only flavor I got was burnt/char and that's not fun. The chicken meat consistency itself felt fake compressed chicken. Their bread pudding dessert was tasty and the coffees were alright. Our bill, with tip, was $270.00. Normally, for so many dishes drinks and courses, we wouldn't even flinch. But given half our starters went to the trash and my full entree went to the trash, the value for this place plummets, along with the lackluster service and seating issues. Oh, and one more thing. My husband and I were up the second half of the night with stomach aches! Will never return here, ever.
