Love this place! Friendly service, tons of fresh delicious Israeli foods. Beautiful mezze like roasted cauliflower and shirazi salad. Fluffy fresh baked pita. Decadent pita sandwiches and fries. Healthy fresh vegetable soups and couscous. Excellent Shakshuka (including an eggplant Shakshuka) that tastes of tomato (rather than being overwhelmed by peppers). And friendly prices, too. read more

I loved their babaganoush with freshly warm pita bread. It paired perfectly with their iced mint tea. They also have hot mint tea if you request for it. They have a variety of fresh soups made with lots of vegetables. Come here with a cute group of 3 people and you'll have a fabulous brunch of lunch. You'll enjoy the cozy atmosphere for sure. read more

Tucked away below the sidewalk it would be easy to miss this spot but don't skip it. If you are looking for a quick and healthy bite before or after seeing a movie at the nearby AMC this spot is perfect. Good food and reasonable prices. Since they are below the street the restaurant has a cozy and cave like feel to it. read more

Absolutely loved the food here. The falafel platter is super yummy. Love the falafel and hummus. It's very flavorful and good portion however it's still too expensive even if the quality is amazing. The pizza was also pretty yummy as well. Very fresh. The lentil soup was well seasoned and very yummy. Would highly recommend! read more

I reserve 5 star reviews for really special occasion places. This is not that. This is a, "meet for lunch" place. The food is excellent, consistently. And healthy, or feels healthy. It's vegetarian, but you won't miss the meat. It's a tiny, very cramped place, with the world's smallest bathroom and kitchen. So don't expect anything grand. But you want really good Israeli food? Yup. That's your place. read more

Dropped in with a friend on a Sunday afternoon. Got a table quickly and our server brought menus and water. We both ordered the shakahuka and whole wheat pita. I have to report that the shakshuka was fantastic, among the best shakshuka I've ever had! Food delicious, service great. If I lived nearby, I'd be here more often! read more

This place should be renamed "Hummus Paradise", as that is how hummus must taste like in heaven :-). We'd been there once many years ago, and a pre-show dinner brought us to this cozy half-basement, intimately set-up, fully vegetarian eatery again. We started with their 3-mezze deal (3 for $26), and stopped reading the long list of options after the consecutive display of our favorite veggies: beetroot, artichoke, and brussels sprout. The chunky artichoke was stewed with chopped tomatoes, but remained nicely al dente while soaked with flavors. The beetroot salad came with a surprise green herb: one may expect parsley, but it was cilantro instead, which lent it a unique aroma. For our mains, I asked for Falafel Hummus while husband ordered veggie couscous. The hummus, their specialty, was just divine: silky, smooth, creamy, rich, tasty ... I could not stop eating it. Yes my happy mood was definitely sponsored by hummus, as claimed by the plaque on the wall :-). And the falafels were also the type I love - crispy brown on the outside while luscious green on the inside (from green herbs such as parsley). The couscous looked simple, with large chunks of veggies over a bed of couscous. However, the broth that our waiter delivered turned the whole dish into an ambrosial feast! Even though we were stuffed to the brim after so much food, we couldn't skip their baklava ... well, we had to pack two out of three and sneak them in my bag before heading to the Beacon Theater for Jerry Seinfeld :-). read more

This place has been our go to for quite a few years so I needed to finally write a review. Great food at a reasonable price, a feet in NYC these days. Very attentive service in a charming setting. What more could you ask for. read more

Ordered the falafel sandwich and it was a lot bigger than I thought. I love the fresh vegetables it has inside and the hummus.

This is our 3 d visit to Hummus. We are from California and can't miss this tasty fair. The pita is fluffier than ever the hummus is just right and creamy and the shashuka ultimately the best. The peppers and onions are well seasoned and the egg is enough for 2. Highly recommend read more

We love Hummus Place! Super solid option for take out or delivery. Great Hummus, great falafels, I also loved the cauliflower appetizer we tried and the mint lemonade. Service is always very warm and attentive without being overbearing. Seating for 2 is usually manageable but the place is small so for larger parties I recommend take out and bring into the park for a picnic read more

Love the Hummus Place! It's a delicious, affordable, vegetarian Israeli place in a cozy underground space on the UWS. When I want cozy Mediterranean food with no frills, I know Hummus Place is a solid option. My friend and I split the eggplant shakshuka and the falafel platter, and it was excellent. I've never had eggplant in my shakshuka and I'm so glad I got to try it here. The eggplant slices were large but soft and absorbed the flavors and spices of the tomato sauce wonderfully. My friend and I were waffling between a few falafel options, but I'm so glad we decided on the platter! It comes with a bunch of different sides, salads, and veggies, and I appreciated the diversity. The falafel was fresh and crunchy on the outside while being bright green and steamy on the inside. It was fun to assemble our own pita sandwiches with the hummus, smashed falafel, health salad, cabbage, and even some shakshuka on top. So simple and delicious! Also, between my friend and I, we only spent $20 per person which is great for NYC! read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday a bit after they opened. The inside seemed to be full when I went to the bathroom but my sisters and I opted to sit outside in the little outdoor structure. It was extremely cute outside. It felt like we were sitting in a small greenhouse because of the wooden structure, the white doors with windows, the plants lining the side, and the flowers on the table. The service throughout was quick and friendly. We never had to wait long for anything like ordering, bill, etc. We were even given the option to refill our coffee which is free. We decided to get the traditional tomato shakshuka, the brunch option of aubergine eggs which comes with orange juice, coffee, salad, humus, and potatoes, and we got the labane cheese which comes with pita. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and my sister was satisfied with the coffee. The shakshuka was my absolute favorite. It was so savory. The eggs were cooked perfectly. 0 complaints it's a must get. The aubergine eggs were pretty good. They were served almost Benedict style. The potatoes and salad were good to eat when dipped in the hummus or shakshuka. The hummus was bomb! The labane cheese was creamy and savory. It was delightful with the soft and warm pita. It was great to mix different ingredients together to eat with the different spreads. I would mix hummus and labane, labane and shakshuka, etc. Flavor explosions!! Prices were reasonable for the location. Would 100% come again. I immediately shared with my friends who love Mediterranean food. They were extremely jealous. read more

I didn't realize this was a vegetarian spot until we sat down and got comfortable ... but then I was all in! The falafels were crisp on outside and soft and fluffy on the inside - and the flavor profile was spot on. The hummus was creamy and flavorful. The za'atar seasoning on the pita was perfect to dip in the smoky babaganoush. Also got the red sangria - taste was great but could have had more of the drink and less ice! Service was attentive and friendly. Good spot to get a quick lunch! read more

I came here on NYE for lunch. A tucked away spot with great hummus and fresh food. Service was steady and adequate, ambiance is more casual, wouldn't be uncommon to see solo diners. I came with my husband and we shared the hummus app and I ordered the falafel. Really solid food all around, no complaints. Note: the entire menu is vegetarian which was surprising but not an issue for me. Would definitely come back again. read more

I've been coming here for years, and has been consistently good and maybe has even gotten better-- given the fact that everyone else in the neighborhood has substantially raised their prices. There are a variety of soups on the menu, and the carrots with ginger is particularly good. The soup is essentially free at lunchtime if you order an entrée, so you're getting soup, entree and a pita for under $20. And it's all fresh and tasty! Unbelievable in this neighborhood. read more

Delicious creamy hummus delivered warm! Doesn't get any better than this! keep up the good work read more

I came in Saturday opening time at around 11:30. It was an underground type area that was fairly small, but it was not overly crowded. The brunch on the weekends is the best. I ordered the aubergine eggs at $20 and it was amazing - it comes with home fries, salad, hummus, as well as juice/coffee. My friends ordered the shakshuka and the mallawach and they also enjoyed their meals. Although there was only one waiter when we were there in the morning, he was attentive and refilled our coffee/waters and cleared our table as we finished eating. Overall the service was great and the food is a great value as you get to sample many small plates. read more

Wow. This place has some of the best falafel and shakshuka I've had! I highly suggest going for brunch on a weekend as they have some options that come with a combination of several things. We got one of their brunch shakshukas (2 eggs in a tomato sauce) as well as a side order of babaganoush (eggplant dip) and falafel (fried chickpea balls). The main dish came with sides of salad, hummus, pita, roasted potatoes, orange juice, and your choice of coffee or tea. It is a great value for what you get. The hummus is excellent - so smooth and lightly seasoned so you can enjoy the freshness of the ingredients. Paired with pillowy-soft pita, it's an excellent side. The salad is good - nothing too special about it. Roasted potatoes are good - nothing special about this either. Shakshuka is amazing. The eggs are served over easy, and a generous amount of piping hot and chunky tomato sauce are spread all around. I highly suggest cutting the eggs to let the egg yolk mix with the tomato sauce and cook a little with it. This dish doesn't have too many spices as you are really supposed to enjoy the simple flavors of the eggs and tomatoes. The falafel was excellent. Some of the best falafel I have had. So soft and moist on the inside and excellent flavors, including the little sauces they put on the plate itself. The babaganoush was good. Nothing to mind blowing from other ones I've tried around the city. Personally I don't think the quality of this that you get is worth the nine dollars that you pay. In the end, this was an excellent restaurant to enjoy some really good food. I definitely recommended if you are in the area! read more

This place was phenomenal!! It's a small little store but the food was truly amazing. We got the Mushroom Hummus, Pita, Falafel Sandwich and Shakshuka with Mozzarella Cheese. This was a LOT of food for 2 people as most of the entrees come with sides/drinks so we had plenty of leftovers to take home. The hummus was unique and the flavors really came through. The falafel sandwich was also great and the fries were thin/crispy which we loved. The shakshuka had large slices of eggplant and was cooked so well. The cheese add on is a must! Overall, one of the best hummuses I've ever had and I'll definitely be back. read more

I ordered a regular hummus bowl with veggies to dip for a long car ride. My parents also ordered hard-boiled eggs to go with it. The hummus was great although it definitely could have used a little bit more spice. It was also filling and did well in the car. I should have ordered falafel and eggplant to go with it but now I know what I'll do next time. I'll also think about ordering the Shakshuka again because that was pretty good. I look forward to my future visits. read more

I used to be a regular but not so much any longer. It's pretty over-priced for what you get. Today, the tabuleh salad was pretty sandy (unwashed parsley?) and the french fries were soggy. This place is relying on its previous great reputation but has definitely slipped. Shame. Much better options in the neighborhood. read more

A hidden gem. Small spot but the food is beyond melt in your mouth good. My sis and split a falafel sandwich and i didn't feel that heaviness after. The french fries were surprisingly amazing too.

First, the good. The food here is legit: Falafel platter (8.5/10): salads were fresh, cabbage was acidic, complementing the heavy hummus/falafel well. Hummus was good, not great, needed lemon juice/spices and id prefer it to be served a bit more chilled. Falafel was very good. A tad too mushy inside (falafel insides should be a perfect hybrid between mushy and crumbly imo), but outside was crispy, flavor was great. Over all, you'd be hard pressed to find falafel that match this in the area. The falafel here is better and cheaper then Miriam across the street.... That being said, the place was a bit dirty. Napkins all over the floor, tables need to be wiped down asap. Nothing gross, but just past the point where I felt the need to comment :) the service was also fine, nothing excellent, but who needs it when falafel is that good. Over all, legit af middle eastern in UWS. read more

For dessert I had the Malabi which was good. read more

I want to start by saying that my family and I have been "regulars" at this place for at least 18 years - it's been our favourite Mediterranean spot food wise despite of rather simple interior - the place where hummus was "to die for" and 100% worth a commute from Brooklyn. The owners and staff were like family. It was always a warm, happy and yummy experience - until today. My husband and I were so very looking forward to devouring delicious brunch - the usual poached eggs with eggplant for me, and eggplant Shakshuka for him. When we stepped inside the restaurant the first thing we noticed was strange smell inside - almost reminding me of a hospital which was a bit of a turn off but I brushed it off. The place was half empty on a Sunday afternoon which was rather unusual - especially because restaurant right across from it - Miriam - was full to the capacity . I also noticed that staff was COMPLETELY new - no one who we knew from years back was present. When the server arrived he was very neutral, matter of fact, nothing warm or pleasant about him. I placed my order but was already feeling uneasy. When the food arrived, and i started trying my eggs which used to always be amazingly tasty, beautifully complimented by juicy thick slice of eggplant and hummus - I was shocked to realize that eggs tasted mediocre and were far from what I was expecting, and the eggplant - a thin slice of eggplant per egg - was bland and tasteless! And to make things even worse, the food arrived BARELY WARM - almost cold! The taste was 2/10 - just unbelievable! The hummus was excellent - but that was one tiny part of the large platter which was pretty much inedible! It is because of hummus I rated my experience as 2 and not 1! And side salad was all leaves - I have no idea what that even was! And so in summary: - both eggs - bland, cheap eggs hands down, no taste whatsoever. - Eggplant - undercooked, tasteless, barely present. - Food temperature - inappropriately cold further affecting the taste. - Service- below average. I am baffled because I don't know the reason behind such disappointing experience - perhaps ownership has changed or the chef - I can only keep guessing ... but it is definitely a big difference and a huge disappointment. read more

Small vegetarian restaurant with delicious Israeli food! I shared the hummus platter and got a falafel sandwich for myself. I definitely recommend splitting the hummus platter with a few people since its a lot of hummus for just 2. My favorite flavors were the tahini and mushroom. The falafel sandwich was super tasty and the fries on the side were very crispy. I also really liked their house hot sauce, which was a green herbs paste. For dessert, I got the vanilla rose flan which was plated nicely but unfortunately tasted a bit too artificially flavored. Overall a great spot if you're looking for a quick and filling meal in UWS! read more

Great Hummus ! This is my first time ordering from Hummus Place. I ordered a meal yesterday around lunchtime (I was searching for affordable lunch specials). The price was excellent for the quality & portion size. I tried 1) The hummus 2) The tabouli 3) A side order of feta cheese 4) The pitas Total cost was around 20$ with free delivery & not including the tip. I loved the food! The pitas were fluffy & filling. The tabouli salad was amazing ! I created my own sandwich - I stuffed the pita with hummus, tabouli & feta cheese - then tossed some of the green sauce they sent with the order. Wow! I've been searching for great tabouli in the suburbs but so far no luck. Great food like this is one of the reasons I live in New York City. It's something I used to take for granted, prior to living elsewhere. NYC is incredibly lucky to have so many great restaurants & talented chefs. It has sections dedicated to specific cuisines & some of the world's best. The best thing though is that you don't always have to spend a lot of money for great food. There's plenty of good deals & delicious meals. read more
