Recently I went back to the Hummuseria, and it was definitely not the same as before. The vegetables looked like they were not good, and they did not do the same beautiful presentation for the drink as the first time. It was just the drink without the thyme to crush, without the board, and in a different glass. Also, now they only give you one pita when you order hummus. It used to be two pitas. Also the workers did not seem very happy to be working, nor to serve us. At times we tried to call them over, and they just ignored us. I don't know what happened because I gave a wonderful review months ago, but it has definitely gone downhill. However, their partner restaurant (the falafeleria) is great! But still doesn't have the drinks the Hummuseria had. I no longer go to the Hummuseria :( (picture is from the first time).
This was surprisingly my favorite meal during my trip to Spain. After eating tapas for multiple days, I was looking for something fresh, light, with vegetables and beans. La Hummuseria checked all the boxes. We ordered the Mediterranean salad, the white beans, and a plate of hummus and cauliflower. The salad was fresh and vibrant, and included a delicious heirloom tomato. The beans were delicious and savory. We asked for the spicy sjag, which was perfectly spicy and added much needed heat. The hummus came with fluffy pita for dipping. Paired with a glass of wine, this meal was fantastic.
There are not too many vegetarian places in Madrid so I was happy to stumble upon la hummuseria! The waiter was friendly and spoke English to us, which is appreciated, but never expected. They have menus in English and Spanish. What we ordered: we got the hummus that was the very last on the list (with the tomatoes in it). It was very creamy and not super flavorful, but in a good way! The ingredients tasted very fresh! We also got a yummy salad which was much needed after all the heavy carb meals we were eating originally in Madrid. I will definitely be back sometime!
La Hummuseria is a cozy vegetarian restaurant billing "Middle Eastern Slow Food" under its name. After ordering, we were started with a "tapa" of crunchy pita chips (seasoned with za'atar and sumac) and tahini sauce, which came with our drinks. However, the unmissable item was, of course, the hummus, which was smooth and creamy and came with a choice of topping--my pick was the roasted cauliflower, paired with almonds, scallions, cilantro, two slices of red chili, along with lots of olive oil. The hummus was perfect for dipping with the white pita bread that came on the side (though the flatbread seemed a bit stale). Finally, the Shakshouka was a classic stew of poached eggs in tomato sauce, and it also came with a ramekin of tahini topped with red chili oil to help round out the flavors of the tomato. But my favorite dish of all was the Middle Eastern Market salad, which came with a ton of flavorful, freshly chopped vegetables including several different kinds of tomatoes, chopped carrots, cherry tomatoes, red onion, scallions, and cilantro, all topped off with pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds for a nice crunch.
THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. cannot emphasize that more. tucked away in a corner north of Gran Via, La Hummuseria was a hidden gem with a simple menu, intimate seating, and wonderful service. A vegan/vegetarian place, they served authentic middle eastern slow cooked food. They opened at 1pm and we showed up around 130 and the place was packed. In fact, we were told there was only one table available between now and 3pm. We sat down and wanted to order everything off the menu obviously because it all sounded great. Our waiter was kind enough to provide suggestions and we went with shashuka, white bean stew, and classic hummus. The hummus was topped with shaved almonds and pine nuts and drizzled in olive oil. Made me think why we don't always eat hummus like this. The pita was warm and fluffy and tasted freshly cooked. Between the shashuka and the unassuming white bean stew, the stew definitely took the prize. The flavors were so delightful and the rice perfectly cooked, I kept reaching for more. The Shashuka was also great with a side of tahini sauce and came with its own pita but my favorite has to be the white bean stew. I would definitely come back and encourage others as well. I would say the only downside was the food took a minute to get to us but that's the idea of slow cooked food I suppose. We were tempted to get dessert but seemed a tad pricey compared to the quantity. All in all, VERY satisfied and full and would definitely return!
Delicious food and a new favorite restaurant! The food is really really good (can't stress this enough, I send this restaurant as a recommendation to everybody I meet in Madrid), the atmosphere is nice, and the wait staff are great - they speak fluent English and Spanish and let me practice my rudimentary Spanish with them with patience. Price wise it's also a good choice, I got enough food to feed two hungry people for less than €20 (including drinks). Did I mention the food is amazing?
Best meal in Madrid. Also the cheapest. I had the salad with garbanzos, tomatoes, red onions, carrots...you can taste every micronutrient. Fantastic. Then I had the hummus ambiguo...garbanzos, spices, and pickled green bean and a raw onion on the side...went well with super-fresh pita. Crowded, cheap and cheerful atmosphere. Locals anound. I will return!

I mentioned to a woman that I work with that I was missing spice in my food when in Madrid for work. She recommended this restaurant and it was so delicious! I ordered the cauliflower dish that came with sliced peppers to give it a kick. The hummus was so creamy and delicious. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Madrid! I recommend making a reservation if you are going to try this place out. I did not have one, but they were able to accommodate me as I was there earlier in the evening than most people in Madrid eat, and I was by myself. The staff was very kind. It is a small restaurant with cute, cozy tables, and great views looking out over the street to people watch. read more

Went here today based on a yelp recommendation and have to say we really enjoyed our dinner. The place is nice, the vegetarian food very good and the staff really friendly. The price is a little on the upper side, but it's definitely worth it. Would I go again? Definitely yes. read more

So it was my last day in Madrid, and I was tired and looking for a good, wholesome meal after my day of exploring. This place blew me away. More than just hummus (even though it's fantastic) and both balanced and delicious. Just look at this spread! read more

One of my favorite vegetarian spots in Madrid. I love going for lunch and getting the menu del día. You get a hummus, pita, a vegetable and a drink for an extremely reasonable price. The veggies constantly change but they are also delicious and the hummus is warm and amazing! Would definitely recommend even if you aren't vegetarian but just want a great and healthy meal! read more

This place is so amazing, I was completely satisfied after I had my meal. Normally I don't go to restaurants that are exclusively vegetarian/vegan, but I was glad that I went there. I had the menu del dia twice, and both times the quality was superb. They change the sides but my favorite is the sweet potatoes along with the almond hummus and the classic hummus. Everything from the lemon juice to the bread was delicious. read more

Authentic hummus and middle eastern dishes, like halva and so on. There is a lunch menu for 10,50 which consists of a tapa, hummus plate (there a couple of variants to chose from) with pita bread and drink. A 1€ extra for artisanal beer which I very much liked. read more

Great spot with great hummus! Unfortunately we couldn't do the menu del dia because we came on a weekend but it looked to be a great deal! I got hummus with almonds while my friend got the regular hummus. Both were delicious!!! The iced tea was also AMAZING! Probably the best in Madrid! Overall great food at reasonable prices! I will be back! read more

Perfect, the hummus is warm which I've never had before but turns out its brilliant. The side salads are wonderful and the daily menus change every day. Great experience. We ended up going twice! read more
