Oh, Oren's I missed you. This was a go to spot for everything in college: casual weekend dinner, big celebrations, date night. I haven't had it since I left the Bay so when I saw it was across the street from the cocktail bar I was at I knew this was gonna be my post-drink dinner. Of course I had to go with the classic hummus and pita, but this time my friend put me on to the hummus sabich which came topped with hard boiled egg and potato. What sounds like an absolutely wild combination is actually so delicious and makes this dish much more filling than the classic hummus. We also shared the shakshuka. Despite us coming in somewhat late, this was cooked to perfection. Big thanks to the staff who served us as well, very friendly vibe in here. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered the beef kabab pita through DoorDash. Before the discount it was $21.85, which is steep for a pita, but I landed a 45% off promo on orders over $20 that made the math a lot more reasonable. The sandwich itself delivered on every bite. The beef was well seasoned, and true to the name, it was packed with hummus throughout, no skimping there. The pita held everything together without falling apart, which matters more than people think with DoorDash orders. What stood out almost as much as the food was the packaging. It's clearly designed specifically for pitas, with a tear-away section that converts the box into a holding container while you eat. Not sure if this is just how the food is packaged in general or something specific to delivery, but either way it's the kind of detail that tells you a place actually thought about the eating experience instead of just shoving food into generic containers. My dog Kobi gave it his approval too. He's got a clear taste for Mediterranean food and was not about to let this one pass him by. Five stars. Pricey at full cost, but the quality and the thoughtful packaging back it up. read more

Had such a great experience at Oren's Hummus! The falafel was phenomenal, the beef hummus was amazing, and the steak fries were absolutely delicious! The chicken thigh skewer came with two sides of your choice, which made it a great value for the price. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be coming back. Thank you! read more

Great Service, Relaxing Ambiance , Good Food. That said, After several times eating there with friends I found that this recent dining experience left me feel that I won't go back soon. Menu is the same and although the hummus selections sure good, I wish they had something a bit more satisfying and different. read more

I came here with a few friends for dinner at my friend's suggestion. We got there around 5, and there was no one in the restaurant. It filled up a bit more as we ate. I'm usually not a big hummus fan. I'll eat it if it's there as a snack/appetizer, but not as the main meal. I ordered the lamb hummus. It was very flavorful, and went perfectly with the fresh pita. The pita was warm and soft. I didn't think it would fill me up, but I was so wrong. Overall, I would recommend checking this place out. read more

Picked up food from this location. The pita was amazing and the red pepper hummus was very good (but I like Obour Foods hummus more.) I didn't enjoy the cheese bourekas as much as I thought I would. I would likely have given 4 stars except the woman I picked up my order from helped people out of order (we were lined up) I just want my food. Please stop helping the people behind me in line. It's incredibly rude and likely affected how I felt about the food. read more

Birthday lunch with my best friend! We had plans in the area so she picked Oren's Hummus for her celebratory meal. The food was decent and the service was fast. We came on a weekday afternoon. The restaurant is decently sized, cute, and super casual with indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated immediately and well cared for by all workers. My best friend and I split the Hummus Chicken and Australian Lamb Skewers. The hummus chicken was good and well seasoned with lots of hummus. The skewers were fine but only came with a few pieces of meat which were tough to cut into but were tender. The rice was fine but not too soft and the veggies were alright. I wouldn't be opposed to trying something else. Oren's Hummus is a fast-casual chain. Their location in Yerba Buena off 3rd Street is good. Street parking is tough but it's near garages and public transportation. read more

I stopped by their take out counter, so this may be a slightly different review than for the main restaurant. The ordering was a little slow, as the take out counter seemed really busy with both in-person and online orders. But once I ordered, my food was ready in less than 10 minutes! I got the hummus bowl with chicken and a side and pita. The hummus is absolutely delicious, the chicken was so well marinated, and the pita was clearly baked fresh. It was chewy and still steaming when I ate at the outdoor tables/patio right in front of the entrance to the sit down side of the restaurant. For a quick lunch break and picking this place because it was on the way between meetings, I'm so glad I picked here and highly recommend the food! read more

Go-to spot for delivery, work lunch catering or a quick lunch spot in FiDi. We usually get lamb skewers, salads, and I love the hummus sabich (with friend eggplant). They also have whole wheat pita.

I could not have asked for a better dining experience at Oren's Hummus. My boyfriend and I had a lunch date after his conference at Moscone Center (just 5 minutes walking distance from the restaurant!) I've had Oren's Hummus on my bucket list for quite some time, but it wasn't until today that I had the chance to try their food. Everything we ordered was SO DELICIOUS! I'm a sucker for soft pita, and I was not disappointed when our waitress brought our pitas freshly-baked. We could see the steam when we tore the pitas apart! We also shared the chicken kebab platter (our 2 sides were the Israeli salad and beets), baba ghanoush, hummus, and a beef kebab a la carte. Standouts for me, aside from the pita, were the baba ghanoush and beef kebab! Would 100% come back again! read more

The best part is that walk-in brunch without a reservation is super easy. Bright and airy space. Decent food. Bottomless mimosas at the SF location only but found them to be mostly oj and too sweet. But fun alternative to the usual egg-forward brunch. The dip sampler is a nice mezze platter to share but wish they could swap out one of the three eggplant dips for something else. Really enjoyed the rice bowl with the beef kebab. Flavorful turmeric rice, moist meat, and bright herbs. Service was friendly. Pretty chill so you can hear each other but not an energetic spot by any means. Still good to have as a brunch standby in Union Square. read more

What a delicious meal of small plates and other Israeli specialties. A variety of silky hummus offerings, several eggplant dishes and roasted cauliflower make this a vegan delight. Israeli salad was classically prepared and the falafel was crispy and flavorful. My friend is gluten free and they had gluten free pita available. I took an order of beef kabob home to my husband and it was flavorful with a nice choice of sides. Israeli French fries are usually thick cut and these were piping hot with just the right amount of salt. It looks like they do a brisk takeout and delivery business and there are cases of prepared offerings to take home. When the server found out it was my friend's birthday, she brought over some lovely, flaky pastry. read more

Tastes great but unfortunately they stopped doing the gluten free pita which I'm very upset about.

I came in for a weekend late lunch, and had an excellent dining experience with service and food quality. The restaurant was pretty quiet, with plenty of indoor seating. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu as well as the kitchen processes. This was particularly helpful as I am vegetarian and I have celiac (strict gluten-free), so I worry about cross-contamination. They were very well aware of celiac, and how to make appropriate accomodations (e.g., separate area in kitchen, pita heated separately). I got the roasted vegetable skewer with muhamarra, jaffa-style hummus, and gluten-fre pita bread. Each component of the dish was wonderful! The gluten-free pita was soft, warm and fluffy. The muhamarra was a very unique dip; it was savory, red peppery and creamy. The hummus was thicker, and fresh with some pine nuts. The meals are on the pricier side, but I had no issues with any of the flavor! Overall, excellent choice for a nice mediterranean meal. However, a few days later I went for take-out, and ordered a gluten free pita sabich (eggplant) sandwich with a side of fries. Unfortunately when I got back to my hotel, I discovered they had given me a chicken sandwich instead. Due to distance and time constraints, I had to discard the sandwich, and ate the fries. I approached the restaurant later, and they handled the situation well, so I stuck with a 5/5 overall rating mainly due to quality of the dining-in meal. read more

I was in the area and happy to see a familiar brand I liked. I have been to a few of their other locations around the bay. The decor is similar to the one I frequent and the food was, not surprisingly, the same. I got a hot apple cider since it was a cold day which was a nice start. We got the sampler appetizer which was OK. The beef kebab was good. I got it with the labane and muhammara (had to pay more) which were both good too. Solid meal overall.w read more

I was brought here by a vegan friend, and the food was fantastic! I had the hummus braised lamb (not vegan), which was full of flavor and was more than I could eat in a single sitting. The falafel was also crisp and tasty. Even the lemonade I ordered was top notch. All told this meal was much better than I was expecting, which was a great surprise. If you like Mediterranean or middle eastern food, give this place a try! read more

It's an authentic Mediterranean (Arab/Israeli) restaurant with couple other locations in Bay Area. This location in SF is maybe largest and finer one. Great variety of Mediterranean cuisine and drinks. Good selection of veggie options. There is indoor seating with separate pick up / take out section. Service was quick and responsive. Parking is a hassle in downtown SF, paid public and paid street parking available. Good for groups, kids, meetup, couples and dates read more

I've visited Oren's Hummus multiple times over the years and have always had positive experiences. If you're dining in, the service is fantastic. If you're ordering food to-go, the food is prepared quickly and efficiently. Oren's is a great casual, weekday spot for dinner that won't break the bank. I've never had trouble finding a table during dinner hours. If you're looking for a good wine deal, Oren's has Wine Down Wednesday, where wine is 50% off. If it's your first visit -- especially with a group, I highly recommend starting with the sampler, which comes with six spoonfuls of various dips. The dips are packed with flavor and pair beautifully with the soft, fluffy pita bread. One of my go-to orders is the hummus bowls. If you like lamb, the lamb hummus bowl is excellent: the meat is well-seasoned and incredibly tender. The chicken skewer is another solid protein option. Since they use chicken thigh, every bite is juicy and flavorful. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Falafel rice bowl: crispy outside, moist inside. Red and green spicy sauces. Not enough tahini dip with serving. Rice a bit watery. Babaganoush eggplant very tasty and white pita large and fluffy. Mint lemonade is very tasty with much fresh mint leaves gratis cole slaw vinegar based Good vegan options all around. Wasn't sure about if the pita was vegan. Gluten free pita not vegan after checking. Slow service, apologized for the wait taking order. Same for parties after me. Food came out all together quickly though. Very few service people. She didn't have time to check back if everything okay. Delayed getting the check. Friendly service but way understaffed. Sasha the only waitress and only hostess which caused delayed seating and service. Manager came to seat people later. Toast checkout after she finally came back. read more

I came here for lunch with a coworker for the first time. We ordered a variety of dishes to share. -Chicken Skewers: I love that they use chicken thigh. Some pieces were a bit overcooked but most of it was pretty good. -Cauliflower Hummus: The best hummus I have ever had in my life. I'm sad that every other hummus I'll ever eat won't taste like this (especially where I live). It was so creamy and the flavor was on point. -Garlic Feta Fries: Almost every Mediterranean restaurant that I've ever been to, the fries generally are a bit under. These fries were fried to perfection. I love the feta and garlic combo. I demolished this. -Falafel: It was solid, but it wasn't a stand out. -Pita Bread: Pretty good. The service was fantastic! Our server was a young black gentleman (didn't catch his name) and he was so attentive and super nice! I would go here more often if I could. Please open a location in Phoenix! read more

The bread! Do it. Lamb was great too, but the bread is what I'll remember most! Hummus was also delicious.

Oren's hummus was a good experience. The chicken skewers were flavorful, and the option to pick two sides was nice. The falafel were really lovely, and I'd highly recommended. So was the Jaffa hummus (I think that's the name). The chicken skewers were nice and tender and full of flavor, but it didn't blow my socks off. The portion size was huge, which correlates with how expensive it was. Service was great when we got seated, but it took a while to get seated. It was busy, even around 2pm, but there were a decent amount of open tables. It just took staff a long time to come seat us. The restaurant itself was a nice, comfortable place. read more

Oren's Hummus is absolutely incredible. The hummus is unbelievably smooth, rich, and flavorful. It's definitely become one of my new go-to places for hummus. Their pita is also so fluffy and in no time at all you'll find that you've just devoured so much food in so little time. In addition, the food portion sizes are very large and also at a very affordable and reasonable price. My favorites here are the beef hummus and the lamb hummus with a side of labane. Moreover, their harissa and chili sauce are such great additions to the meal. For hummus lovers, this is a must-visit! read more

Loved the experience and food at Oren's Hummus! I got seated as soon as I got there and got some cabbage salad while ordering (which by the way was extremely delicious)! I got the veggie skewer rice bowl and some hummus Jaffa style side and both were delicious! The portion size is very good and the dishes were very flavorful! The service was very good as well and they were pretty attentive. I've been to other Oren's Hummus locations and this was my first time here and I can confirm that I've never had a bad experience at any of the locations so this one met my expectations! I will be coming back! read more

I had been looking forward to coming here, seeing all the rave reviews. And there's nothing quite like the anticipation of fresh hummus and pita.... But my experience this past weekend ended up being a bit lackluster. The servers and support staff were nice, but the guy who seated me was less friendly (from his more formal outfit, maybe he was a manager). It's possible that he was a bit overwhelmed as they seemed a bit under-staffed at the time I came in. After waiting at the entrance unacknowledged for about 10 mins, the family of 7 behind me ended up walking out, but I was hungry, so I waited patiently by the entrance. Upon being seated, they offered water and a small side of pickled cabbage. It was nice to nibble on something while looking at the menu, though I probably wouldn't have gone with something so sour as a starter. Nevertheless, once I ordered, the food came out pretty quickly. The pita was was warm and initially soft, but ended up drying a bit quickly, which happens when places re-heat "older" breads. The hummus was decently smooth, but could have used a bit more garlic or seasoning. The Israeli side salad I got was old - the tomato, cucumber, and onion cubes in it were all mushy. And the beef and lamb kebabs were small, dry, and tough - probably from being over-cooked. While I appreciated that everything was not too salty, all of the food could have used a bit more seasoning. Maybe this is done to appeal to a wider palate. I was hungry, so this did the job as a relatively balanced meal compared to other options nearby. But the food and overall experience definitely did not live up to my expectations coming in. read more

I wanted to like this. A friend tried to dissuade me, and I should have listened. It's just mid and usually I love fluffy pita and would finish all of my hummus. I ate at most half on an empty stomach and my friend ate less than half of his snitzel. I've been to Israel many times and I visit Tel Aviv and Jaffa multitudes. I make sure I stuff my face and my belly and eat my fill before I head back to the states because the stuff here just doesn't compare and honestly, I don't expect it either. What I also don't expect is, refrigerator temperature hummus and microwaved pita where it gets that microwaved staleness after it gets to room temperature either. C'mon bruh. read more

Fantastic Israeli food! This was my first time to Oren's Hummus, and I enjoyed my only time here so far. We enjoyed a sampler of dips. My personal favorites were the marinated beets and baba ganoush. I loved the grilled chicken skewers, and the pita breads were so fresh and hot! Decor-wise, I was charmed by the mix of contemporary minimalism and juxtaposed with lavish chandeliers and plush seats. A strange amalgamation of both aesthetics, but it worked here. Left here stuffed. What a great dinner spot in FiDi San Francisco! read more

This place is a SOMA FIDI find! It's very versatile -- grab & go section, order take out at counter, or sit-down restaurant with wait service. But unlike some wait service FIDI places, it's not too expensive. Menu is varied. As a vegetarian, I had many choices. I got the Hummus Sabich bowl, which had a lot of good stuff in it. Mint lemonade was yummy. The only downside was there was too much hummus for the two small pita breads they give you. But it wasn't enough of an issue to remove a star - I just took my leftovers home and had them on toast for lunch the following day. Definitely a great place to catch up with former coworkers over lunch. read more

Holy moly! The pitas here are everything. We've ordered twice from them and have settled on the falafel sandwich with a side of hummus, and a kids chicken sandwich. The seasoning on the chicken is not only exquisite with just a little smoke and spice, but our very picky eater likes it so much we're adding Oren's to the rotation. The falafel is dressed with tahini and another sauce (?). In any case, the flavors are right. But again, the pita is what takes it over the top. *chef's kiss* read more

Clean and well put together restaurant with a to-go section and a main dining room for dine in. We ordered a chicken hummus bowl and chicken skewer entree with whole wheat pita bread. The pita bread was so fresh, soft and warm, while the hummus and sides were all fresh and flavorful. The chicken skewers were juicy and tasty, preferred them over the slightly drier chicken in the hummus bowl. Portions are fairly large especially for the sides that come with the entrees. Food came out quickly as well! read more

Was looking for Mediterranean restaurant close to hotel. The staff was initially attentive but end up having different staff wait on us maybe because there wasn't a lot of people in the restaurant. As far as the food, I had the beef kabobs which seemed microwaved as they were hard and definitely not fresh. The rice too seemed like it was cooked earlier in the day. I would pass on this place. Sorry. read more
