    Bowl + gyros $16.95
    Cynthia C.

    Passed by this spot for years and didn't know until reading the reviews on Yelp it was worth stopping by! I love Mediterranean flavors - so this is definitely up my alley. Went with a bowl: - organic cous cous and farmer's mix greens - 3 scoops of hummus - would skip the olive one next time and double up on the eggplant, feta is great but supper rich, one scoop is enough - +$3 for the beef/lamb gyro, good portion - toppings were plentiful and chopped with precision - the cubed beets so cute! - sauces, would ask for them on the side next time to control where I want the flavor and moisture - lemon/olive oil, tzatziki and garlic jalapeño tahini Very rich and filling! Well worth the $21 paid. Nice interior and good quick service on a mid- afternoon Saturday!

    Ordered for pickup on DoorDash and they had a 5 option hummus. I ordered that and it was soo good! Perfect for sharing or snacking on throughout the day

    Beef and lamb gyro bowl

    I stopped here during the weekday for lunch since I work in Alameda. Parking is very difficult to find since this place is located near Park Street and they don't have their own parking lot. Hummus Republic is similar to SAJJ with their build your own bowl concept. Basically the Mediterranean version of Chipotle. I like this place because they have tons of topping options compared to SAJJ. I got the gyro meat which is made with beef and lamb. The gyro meat had flavor, but I wish they charred it like other places to have a crispy edge, similar to bacon. Their gyro meat looks more like uncooked turkey bacon, which is unappealing. All the veggies/toppings are fresh. You also get to top off your bowl with a variety of sauces. If I'm craving Mediterranean food, I always come here or Tahina which is a few blocks away. You get more bang for your buck here though.

    Hummus Republic is such a great spot, and it totally reminds me of SAJJ (my absolute favvvv), but since there aren't any local SAJJ locations, this place is a great alternative. The food here is excellent, and the portions are HUGE. There are so many options to customize your meal, but one unique item for me is the feta--it adds such a nice texture and flavor to the bowls and they dont charge extra for it like SAJJ. Honestly, the bowls are big enough for two meals, which makes it feel like a great value. The first time I came, I ordered a wrap, and it was MASSIVE--so stuffed it practically burst at the seams. It tasted amazing, but it was a challenge to eat, so now I stick to the bowls for the sake of convenience (and less mess!). Customer service is another highlight. Everyone here is so friendly and accommodating, which makes the experience even better. There are a handful of small tables if you want to eat there, but I wouldn't necessarily bring a big group--it's more of a quick, casual spot. Now all I need is for them to open a location in San Leandro, and I'd be set.

    Chicken shawarma bowl

    The service was good but if you come during lunch you should preorder, the lines get long. There's chairs inside and outside to accommodate small groups. I got the chicken shawarma bowl with chickpea croutons, tzatziki, and the jalapeño lime sauce. Overall the ingredients were fresh and highly recommend

    Organic PITA CHIPS

    I wanted a tasty filling healthy little meal that wasn't going to break the bank. Every menu I looked at on Park street was $15-$20 or something greasy and fried. Then I past Hummus Republic, checked out the menu and they had affordable prices for healthy choices, so I decided to give it a try. It was my first time and I looked over the menu and decided to get the four scoops of hummus and the organic pita bread. I love that. I could pick four different types of spreads, so three were hummus and the fourth was a feta spread. All were so delicious. Before deciding on purchasing this, I asked what the ingredients are. I'm pretty particular about what kind of oils I ingest. And she said there was only hummus tahini and salt. So I said YES!. They were so tasty and filling The young lady at the counter was so helpful and friendly. I will be going back! Maybe tomorrow

    If your looking for a fresh fast option this is it! I love the variety and build your own concept. I literally just pile on all the yummy options and feel satisfied. Friendly service.

    Date: 4/18/2024 Time: 4:00 PM 63° Sunny After visiting the Kaiser lab for blood work being done, I stopped in at Hummus Republic, which is a few doors away. I have seen their ad on the FB website. The food looked yummy. It's check in and check it out. My first time here. It took me a while to peruse the menu and decide what I want in the bowl. The choices are great from what I see on display. The male employee guided me along with my selection. The bowl starts with a base, three scoops of hummus, protein, unlimited sides of veggies and finally the dressing. My bowl was filled with Mediterranean couscous, spinach, three hummus, four falafel, veggies and traditional tahini dressing. I also added two dolmaes (additional $1.00) Make it to go, please. Cost with tax and tip included was $18. Menu is posted on the window before going in to the business. Laminated menus are available at the counter to review. There is also a menu board on the wall. I was excited to get the bowl with falafel that I forgot to ask for beets. Okay a return trip is necessary to get their strawberry lychee beverage and another bowl. What I ate was so delicious that I almost forgot to take a photo. (Senior moment. LOL, meaning Little Old Lady Laughing Out Loud).

    Delicious hummus heaven. Grab a menu as it walks you through how to assemble your custom order. You can have a pita sandwich, bowl or burrito. We each ordered a pita sandwich. Each pita was heated up then piled with your choice of greens , choice of protein, we chose chicken shawarma, and lemon chicken. Then you move onto the fun part. You get unlimited sides ranging from onions, tomatoes, olives, grains, chickpea, croutons, cucumber, pickled red cabbage, tabbouleh, herb mix, crumbled feta. Then choice of sauce to top your order. We also ordered pita chips and hummus. It was a very very generous serving of hummus ( we ordered 2 flavors) and the best part... the toasted pita chips. So delicious. I would order just this for dinner next time. Place is clean. Very helpful and friendly service. Order was quickly filled.

    This has been one of my go to spots in the past couple months! It's like a Mediterranean chipotle, similar to Cava. I love the customization of each step and the portions are generous but quality varies. I usually get a bowl with the chicken shawarma and lemon chicken. I've gotten falafel once and it was dry so I stuck to chicken. The chickpea croutons are a MUST! They're better at lunch from my experience lol. You can't really go wrong with any of the spreads or bases. For the sauces, I like the red pepper tahini, grandma's hot sauce and Moroccan hot sauce. I wish they had a garlic sauce like Cava but it's still yummy.

    Oh my goodness! I was sooooo surprised when I tasted my salad/bowl; it was delicious! The way you pick a bowl or wrap, protein( chicken; steak; vegan steak; mushroom mix), sauces( up to three, I.r., feta mix, different hummus's, and others ), and then toppings galore- more veggies and crispy toppings like spicy crisp garbanzo beans(YUM!) Your bowl or wrap has a base of salad greens, kale, spinach, couscous, and salted garbanzo beans. I mean it was very easy to put together a healthy lunch. They also have fresh dropped mini samosas and pita chips that were amazing. If you like a little spice then add the garlic jalapeño sauce and the Moroccan Hot sauce. The only drawback was that it was FREEZING in there. I need a comfortable temperature in the establishment so that I can enjoy my food but I solved that and sat outside so I survived that. The young man servicing us was pleasant and helpful. I think it will he my new lunch fav- easy! $15-20

    I was very happy to find this Mediterranean place in Alameda. You order either a pita, wrap, or bowl, and then you customize it however you want. You can choose a protein then add the extras you want. Some of the extras cost extra, but there are also plenty of free extras as well. Some of the free extras (like beets) are pretty skimpy though. One thing I learned is there are different types of couscous. I've always been accustomed to the Israeli couscous, which are tiny pearl-like pastas. But here, they have Moroccan couscous, which is more like a grain. This tasted great in the salad. What we had.. + Chicken shawarma wrap - Very well put together and very tasty. However, it was a bit smaller than wraps from Kebab Shop or Halal Guys. + Chicken shawarma bowl - I added a lot of extras, and somehow it all tasted great together. The hummus was quite a bit thicker than I'm used to. The texture wasn't conducive to mixing with your salad or for dipping your pita in, but still very tasty. Overall, this was a happy find.

If I had the time, the money, or the metabolism I would have gotten like four different sandwiches. But again( I wanted to make things easy for myself I went for the Classic Philly. Half a sandwich was good enough to fill me up. I didn't pass up on the peppers! I got water for a drink because I'm not into Pepsi products. If you need to use the restroom, you can get the code from one of the people working. The sandwich took about four minutes to cook. The bread could have been a bit crunchier. Loved the way they cooked the meat, the cheese was melted just right, and the peppers were the right type of spice. The real thing that made me pleased to eat here, besides the food, was that they were playing the Club World Cup game between Inter Miami (MESSI MESSI) and FC Porto. I love when a place has anything football related. 4.5/5 - round up to 5/5

Our server apologetically just handed us the food that another pair had inspected and returned (they said they didn't touch it). No napkins, fries, or ketchup for the fries. I went to the counter and asked for napkins and fries and politely asked about our fries. They apologized and said it would come right out. My sandwich bread turned out to be fairly burned, and it tasted burned.

The friendly server was again apologetic and said they would check on it. A minute later they came out with a box of fries and apologized they they had been forgotten about in the kitchen. They were no longer hot. I was disappointed with my most recent trip.
