I came in with my partner to try the $12 lunch special that includes rice, grilled chicken, pita bread, side salad, and hummus, and it was a 10/10. The portions were generous, and the service was very friendly and welcoming. Inside the space was clean, neat, and well kept. I also appreciated seeing that their health grade had no violations attached which is rare come across! I have tried a lot of hummus around the SGV area and this hummus is to die for and truly stands out. It's incredibly creamy, thick, and packed with flavor. I will definitely be returning and would recommend this location for the hummus alone. read more

Today was actually my first time dining at hummus labs even though I've gotten catering from them a couple of times for some of my parties! (The catering is amazing btw - highly recommend! They give so much of the salad, pita and hummus! We always have leftovers for the rest of the week) I got the chicken schwarma and the chicken is perfectly tender! I also chose the cumin lime hummus and garlic paste, the cumin lime hummus didn't taste that much different from the regular hummus in my opinion, but it was delicious! The garlic paste is my absolute favorite, I love how much they give and hate how how much goes to waste when I'm done eating. It's almost criminal to throw it away and I wanna savor it all.. Highly recommend and can't wait to have you guys cater again in the future! read more

Hummus Labs? Yes! While they do concoct a creative bunch of Hummuses (is that the plural?), they also have a full-service lunch menu...rice, assortment of Salads amd Kebabs. You don't have to get me excited about Lebanese food, IMHO the finest cusine in the world. I tried to keep it Veggie and went for the Cauliflower plate. Got sides of grilled Onion/Tomato, my Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus, a nice warm Pita, Fatoosh salad (basically chopped tomato and cucumber with olive oil and baked lita chips, and a very healthy portion of grilled Cauliflower. YUM! The Fatoosh was just how I like it, not too many pita chips to make the salad overly crunchy. The cauliflower was AMAZING. So flavorful so their recipe is on point. What I don't understand, and maybe I shouldn't mention it, but whenever I go, this mostly take out restaurant? I mostly have this place all to myself, and there is nobody there. There is some bench seating with maybe 3 or 4 tables you can sit at. The whole meal was $18 and was well worth it since I felt the portion was good for two. It was so filling, flavorful, and nutritious that it was the only meal of my day read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've been sleeping on hummus labs. I had heard about the from a fb group. We did a catering order for a group of 20 professionals from across the country and the food did not disappoint. Ordering was relatively easy, email them to confirm the details and then they provide you link to place the order and pay. Food was ready on time for our scheduled pick up time which is really important for any scheduled events. The food was super fresh and yummy. My only complaint is that I couldn't try all their yummy sides! I'm going to try and order again for my kiddos school staff appreciation lunch. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

The food is so delicious here and the service is excellent! We tried their chicken platter and beef shawarma platter and our orders were freshly made. Although this place is a fast food setting, their food is as good as those in the expensive restaurants. Give it a try when you are around! Take advantage of their lunch special of chicken platter plate at only $11.95!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

The food at Hummus Lab is consistently all perfect stars The owner is attentive to meeting all my catering orders for on time delivery or pick up. I've received tons of great feedback from my colleagues about the flavorful chicken and savory grilled beef over the hot fluffy rice. The jalapeño cilantro dip is my favorite, you must try it because it's too good to pass up. read more

This place got to have the most flavorful shawarmas. I ordered a chicken shawarma plate and it was full of flavor and they even have very unique hummus in my opinion like beets hummus which was very delicious. They have bits of pita chips in it which adds a nice little crunch. It comes with a pita bread as well so I made it as a pita wrap. I would definitely be back! read more

Hummus Labs - Chicken Shawarma Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've seen this place on yelp a few times before but haven't been there until recently. There's also free parking right next to the restaurant on Mentor Ave. Its a small but cozy space and the workers there make you feel right at home with how attentive and accommodating they are. I tried the Beef Kafta Kabob, Chicken Shawarma Nachos, and Beef Shawarma Nachos from the 3 times I was here. The beef kafta was decent but it doesn't come anywhere near the level of deliciousness that the beef and chicken shawarma nachos are on. The meats are tender, the pita nachos are crispy, and the nacho dishes as a whole are well balanced. I'd be happy eating just the pita nachos because they're seasoned well. Another big plus is how generous their portions are, you can make two meals out of the nachos if you wanted to. The nachos alone make me want to come back already, highly recommend if you're looking for good food with great customer service!

Hummus Labs is a hidden gem for quality Mediterranean food in Pasadena! My gf and I finally made time to try this and we are definitely coming back. The inside of the restaurant is alright, which made me a bit skeptical at first. We ordered the beef shawarma nachos and the chicken shawarma platter. Wow. They are generous with portions and both plates were packed with flavor! The pita nachos were crunchy and absorbed the sauce from the toppings. The hummus and salad were fresh and paired well with the protein. The food was so good and priced well. We took the food to go, but the lady who took our order was kind and helpful to recommend the roasted tomato habanero hummus, which is their most popular hummus. Delicious Mediterranean food with generous portions, you will be satisfied with your food from Hummus Labs! read more

Food was very tasty and their cauliflower and hummus complimented the beef kafta kabob. Everything was seasoned perfectly including their fries. Service was very good as well, very friendly and helpful workers. If you haven't given them a try, I'd recommend stopping by to eat as this place didn't seem to be getting much love as others in the area as it was pretty much almost empty the whole time I ordered and ate my food. Will for sure come back to try their other items! read more

Came here for a quick dinner before a show. ordered the ultimate platter for two and there are so much food! Great portion for the price. the lamb chops are done perfectly: tender and smoky, no additional sauce/flavoring is needed. But I like my lamb to be more gamey but I am the minority, and this is just a personal preference. the place is casual and clean. Super friendly staff. They have Baklava portioned in little containers too! read more

I love their shawarma nachos and their pita chips give such a nice crunch. We like getting it with garlic hummus and beef or chicken. Their hummus is made in-house and it doesn't feel oily. Their dark meat chicken platters are juicy and they're generous to give two pita wraps with their platters. The other good thing is that there's free parking attached that goes up to the next floor. read more

4.5/5 Just get the cauliflower plate. Chicken if you must, skip the beef. =============== 4 stars for the cauliflower more than the chicken lol $20 for a side of beef + deep fried cauliflower is pretty pricey (unpictured) The beef doesn't look that appetizing lol it looks like ... if you order you will understand. Cauliflower is deep fried, but wow whatever spices they use for it is crazy good. $17ish for a plate of buttery saffron rice, delightfully charred chicken, dill beet hummus + feta cheese dip They don't give you a huge amount of protein, but they do have very high quality food. Other places give you pickled veggies/charred veggies, but here it comes at a cost. Pita chips aren't as flakey as other places, they're pretty decent tho. They were nice enough to serve us 40 min til closing time! I'd def come back in the area! But I'd get my own plate instead of share lol read more

First tried hummus lab at my friend's 1 yr old baby girl birthday celebration and it was amazing. So amazing we had to come today for lunch. The hummus lab is located in Pasadena on the corner of Colorado Blvd and Mentor. There is parking located off Mentor with plenty of parking spaces at my time of visit, otherwise you should be able to find street parking. Upon entering you are greeted by the cashier who was very nice and accommodating. The hummus lab is in a cozy little spot with seating approximately 5-6 tables able to accommodate either 2 to 4/5 people per table depending on which table you are able to seat yourself to. There is also bar seating by the front window able to seat 5-6 people if i recall correctly. Onto the food. I ordered their beef shawarma platter with rice and sides garlic paste and cilantro jalapeno hummus while my wife got their filet minot kebab with half rice and half salad and side of original hummus and cilantro jalapeno hummus. The filet minot kebab is definitely a standout in their menu as i have not seen this at other restaurants. The filet minot was cooked perfectly medium rare and juicy. The cilantro jalapeno hummus has some spice to it so make sure you don't give it to the little ones. My 2yo loves hummus so my wife ordered the original in her platter. Baby girl ate it up fast. My beef shawarma was fantastic with juicy beef cooked to savory tenderness and the sauce complimented the dish very well. The pita bread went very well with the cilantro jalapeno and garlic. If you have not tried hummus lab and are in the pasadena area i highly recommend you give it a try and see how it stacks up to other Mediterranean restaurants that serve similar dishes. My wife would love to eat this more often too bad they are in Pasadena. But whenever we are in the area and crave Mediterranean, this will be the spot for us. read more

I've heard a lot about this place online in an fb group and decided to try it when I was in the neighborhood. It's located in a corner building that has free parking on the second floor. Plus some free street parking, too. I was welcomed by the woman at the counter who helped explain any menu questions I had and helped me apply for their reward program that also gives you credit upon joining. She was so patient and helpful. The owner, Joseph Jean, was on his way out and did thank me for coming in. The food is cooked after ordering, so there is a wait. I like that they have choices for their sides and I loved the red beet dill hummus. I still want to try the others but I would consider getting an extra side of this for just me. The chicken was juicy, flavorful and well cooked. Choices of dark or white- I got dark. Served over rice and with two pita. read more

I first got to sample the food at work. It was catered for Teacher Appreciation Week. It's probably one of the best meals I've ever had at work! I loved everything on my plate; from the chicken, beef, original hummus, and cilantro hummus, to the salad, garlic spread, and even the crispy pita chips. So I went for lunch a couple of months later. The restaurant is smaller and a little bit of a wait for the food but no complaints on flavor or texture. It's was just like I remembered it. read more
