Finally ate here today. As I entered there was only a couple other patrons. No waiting! The gentleman behind the counter walked me through the process and explained everything to me. You can choose a bowl, a wrap, or a pita. They do offer sandwiches and other items as well. I decided on a bowl. I chose yellow rice instead of quinoa. I was able to have a few small samples to help make a decision. I also had lamb, chicken, garbanzo beans, spinach, three different hummus (feta, traditional, roasted eggplant), lettuce, tomato, feta, cucumbers, naan, and tzatziki over the top. I also decided to have a lemonade. They have several different lemonades to choose from and it's bottomless if you're dining in. I added so many items to the bowl the price was fairly high, but worth it. There's plenty of seating inside and it's a nice dining room. Very simple, but comfortable. I sat and enjoyed my bowl with pomegranate lemonade. Everything was delicious. I'm happy that I finally tried The Hummus Republic. I will definitely eat here again. Recommend giving it a try. read more

The Hummus Republic - This is a lamb and chicken bowl with naan and pomegranate lemonade. Delicious! - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

I considered ordering online but dropped by in person only to find a single kiosk for ordering with the same options and without some of the special deals advertised on the website, so there really isn't any reason not to order online. I got a pretty full bowl. I noted that the kale they had out had a number of dubious leaves in it, but the person picked around them to get me some nice green kale (if I were them I'd just dump the wilted ones). Vegetarian options were ample at all levels of the ordering process and indeed the only non-vegan component i ended up with was some feta. It was a salty and tasty bowl; oddly the salad greens were the only thing I got less of than expected. I also said what the heck and got what they call a signature tahini shake, which was absurdly filling to the point that I pretty much skipped a meal. Okay if that's what you want. Overall, not perfect but a quality place with options for most diets. read more

Very tasty, quick and a solid variety of offerings from wraps to bowls with distinctive Mediterranean flair! Popped in for a quick takeout - place was super clean and, as a first-time visitor, the menu board was self explanatory. Ordered the bowl with a bed of warm chick peas, two types of hummus (roasted eggplant, Harissa and Zesty Feta, topped with chicken shawarma and loads of extra toppings like beets, cukes, tomatoes, artichoke and fried jalapeno. Total was just shy of $15 but it was enough for lunch and had some leftover for dinner. I'll certainly be coming back. read more

Will and I stopped by for a quick lunch. Located in a strip mall so plenty of parking.walk in and order at the counter and they prep it right then. Very friendly folks. Nice net clean new location. Multiple choices of proteins and toppings. Very good and fresh. We both had ours on pitas. Awesome! You could get them in a bowl or on fajita. Awesome. Loved it. read more

The Hummus Republic - Menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

Came here right when they opened for lunch. Greeted by a nice gal who explained the menu to me as I had never been before. I opted for a bowl with lemon rice, kale, gyro meat and all the fixens! Food was fresh although the meat wasn't what I expected. I'm used to the kind they carve off the stick. Oh well everything else was great! Pomegranate lemonade was yummy too. Prices fair and bathroom was nice and clean. Definitely recommend. read more

The Hummus Republic - Greek Gyro Garden Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

Wanted to try this new spot and the flavor didn't disappoint. You could chose from pita wrap or just a bowl. I got a pita which they warm first. Next you chose up to three types of hummus/sauce. The base is either couscous or garbanzo beans. Then you can pick a protein. I chose the gyro which they cook as you order. Then you can load on toppings like cooked onions, chickpeas croutons, fried eggplant, corn, tomato, feta and more. Last you pick a dressing. The pita doesn't close but they give you a take out box and utensils to eat it. It will cost $14 plus anything else you add, tip, and drinks. The $7 tahini smoothie sounded good but didn't get to try it. So it adds up fast but there are a lot of options and it is a large portion. Nice to see some different options for fast good. read more

First and foremost, the food is amazing! Secondly but close to first, the staff is super friendly and genuinely cares about customers. My favorite is the lemon chicken! The "fixings" are unique & lots of variety. I highly recommend Hummus Republic for its friendly atmosphere and great food! read more

Love this gyro lamb/beef bowl!! So many delicious and nutritious things to pack in. The only thing I will do different is sauces on the side and split it into 2 portions so I can reheat the meat. Normally I don't like my things drenched in sauce but all of it was so flavorful! I'm very satisfied!! read more

The Hummus Republic - A gyro bowl with a lot of meat, sauce and so many other delicious ingredients. Yum!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

DISGUSTING! Worst food weve ever tried! The tahini sauces tasted rank, the chicken tastes and looks like dog food. Cava is right down the street and is a dollar less with bigger portions and always tastes amazing. How do you make such simple ingredients like beans, rice, lettuce, etc taste almost inedible??? We tried to give this new place a shot even though the pictures barely looked appetizing and it was mediocre at best. We ate it since it was what we decided to have for dinner and were starving yet couldnt eat it all. We let our dog try some of the sauce and protein and it didnt even want it either! Even with a buy one get one deal it still felt overpriced for the quality and quanitity. Please just go to cava for Mediterranean bowls. read more

I received a coupon in the mail and had never heard of it so finally got to try it. It is a new place so it is very clean and open. The gentleman that waited on me (?owner) was very nice and helpful especially with me trying to figure out what to pick. You can get a bowl $13.59, wrap $12.95 or pita 11.95. They have six different kinds of hummus to choose from which is considered the base. Then you add your protein which they have 6 or 7 different ones. I had the Shawarma chicken. Then you can add your toppings (16). I made a bowl and it was huge. I was able to try three different hummus in the bowl. Sauces were good too. I love jalapenos but I wish they would cut them up into smaller pieces, rather than serve big slices. I also tried the Falafel. Nice and moist with a crispy coating. I will say for the price it was a lot of food. I will come back and try something else next time. If you like Mediterranean cuisine you need to go here. 9/20/24 read more

OMG, let me tell you about how amazingly fresh this place is. First, the place is very clean with an open, yet inviting, simple decor. The staff is beyond friendly and let me ask a million questions since it was my first time. Now the food, walk in and go to the back of the counter to order - think subway style. Pick if you want a bowl, a wrap, or pita bread. There are some combos to choose from, or you can make your own. This place is great for vegetarians or meat eaters. Ask for a sample if you're not sure. If you don't like hummus , skip it. I did a falafel bowl with chick peas, cous-cous, mixed greens, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, tiziki, hummus (you can pick up to 3), peppers and sauces on the side since I was not sure (grandma's is a cilantro jalapeño and it's bomb). Don't skip on a drink - get a refillable lemonade, they have 6 to choose from, and you can try them all - mix and match - so good. Honestly, the bowl was huge. I took half of it home for later. The man ate his portion there. Prices are reasonable for quality and fresheness. I will definitely be back when visiting Jacksonville. read more

The Hummus Republic - Greek bowl, added lamb - Mediterranean Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

A new gem has arrived in Jacksonville with the arrival of HUMMUS REPUBLIC. The food they have to offer is a breath of fresh air. They emphasize whole ingredients that result in exceptionally great tasting food. What sets them apart is their commitment to using fresh, organic meats and vegetables as well as having a large selection to choose from. At hummus republic they really have redefined healthy dining by showing that nutritious does NOT equal bland food. Their dishes burst with vibrant flavors, proving that healthier choices can also be MOUTHWATERINGLY DELICIOUS. Another standout feature which I simply can't skip over is the passion and friendliness of the owner and staff. They go above and beyond offering samples of new items with a GENUINE pride for their food that's seriously infectious. It is a pleasure to support a dedicated small business in an area full of not so healthy food. Hummus republic truly stands out as a MUST TRY destination for those seeking fresh, flavorful food in Jacksonville!! Don't walk here..... RUN!!! read more

It's a cute restaurant. The decor is good. I do have issue with the giant glass panel it is very hard to hear the worker when they ask you a zillion times what choices you want but can't hear as the voice in the building is loud. Food tastes great. Was fresh ingredients. I'm not sure if I would visit often as it was a pricier place to grab some food. But I would go a few times. The sweet potato fries where 6 for a small container. Their dressings are amazing and full of flavor. read more

I wanted a healthy lunch with veggies, but I was really in the mood for comfort food, and The Hummus Republic hit the spot. It was my first visit, and I for sure will be back when working in Jacksonville. The place was spic and span, and I was greeted by a friendly face. I loved seeing all my meal options right there in front of me. I selected the harissa hummus and eggplant hummus for my bowl along with lemon chicken. Wow! It was so good! Everything was fresh, and there were so many options for toppings and add ons. I had to add on the falafel, which was delicious. The aroma of my meal was fantastic. So many fresh herbs and veggies! I waited until after my meal to try the lemonade. It took me a while to decide which flavor lemonade I wanted because of all the options. I decided on the pomegranate, which was an excellent choice. I'm looking forward to returning to try the earth burger with sweet potato fries, and I'm hoping The Hummus Republic decides to open a Hampstead location. I could use a place like this close to home. read more

The food was delicious!! I got my order to go and I believe it would've been just as tasty dining in. The workers were all very polite andddd the quantity lasted me TWO meals!! Would definitely come back here read more

Similar to Cava with far fewer options to add to the bowl. Meat was not well seasoned. Overall disappointing.

We fala-fell in love with the great little place! The portions were huge, we both took half of ours home to eat for dinner. We had baklava, falafel bowl, the gyro meat bowl, and tried all the delicious hummus options. We loved the Tzatziki too! The spicy green sauce was a fantastic addition. The owner is very personable and friendly and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Definitely will be coming back. read more

If you're looking for FRESH and delicious food, look no further! Stop by and grab a quick snack of their warm pita chips with hummus when you're out and about running errands. Or grab one of their delicious salads. I've ordered a few different salad combinations and they don't disappoint! My favorite is the lemon pepper chicken with their fried chickpeas! I love that I can create my own salad combinations and never have left disappointed. Their lemonade bar is so refreshing and delicious! They are incredibly kind and helpful and willing to let you try their food. Stop by and enjoy a lunch in a clean, healthy environment with great food and service! Their catering is AMAZING! We've had them cater twice and everyone has loved their food! read more

I had never heard of HR and stopped in after seeing a menu on Yelp. The set up reminds me very much of Cava the restaurant was very clean and the lady at the counter was very helpful. You start with a starch and work your way down to the toppings. I had the Kalamata olive hummus and regular hummus. Both were absolutely delicious. Tzatziki was amazing!! I love the options for the bowl and you get such a huge portion it could be 3 meals. Dressing choices were not really my fav but I did like the tahini. The reason I gave this a 4 is because the meat looked like it had been sitting out for awhile. It was flavorful but alittle overcooked. I would definitely come back. read more

Our favorite spot in Jacksonville!! Healthy, great flavor and amazing customer service! The owner is always first to greet you and ask if you've visited before and happy to walk you through the menu. The lemon chicken on a pita is my go to while my hubby loves their bowls! We leave feeling great and not weighed down like most fast food places. We'll always choose this place when in Jacksonville. We love a great healthy option that's delicious and Hummus Republic is all that and more! read more

I've never been here before. When I walked in the folks were great! They greeted me enthusiastically and I explained the menu options. There is so much to choose from. I had a pita wrap with lemon rice, spinach and onion with corn as a base. Then I got the Leon chicken and Moroccan steak as proteins. Both were delish! I got the tzatziki and harissa humus for my meal. I tried the kalamata humus but I'm not a big fan of olives. Got the grandma's hot sauce as a topper with some pita chips and I was set! Grandma's is spicy and they do have a less spicy option just ask. The restaurant is nice and cool and the table and chairs very modern and low key! People who have come in after are really friendly and we have been talking about the fact they eat here A LOT! Well worth the stop. read more

It's like the Mediterranean version of Chipotle! And I'm here for it! This place is new and fresh with great staff and awesome food. Me and my daughter love coming to fill a bowl that we can share for lunch or dinner. The staff is great at helping to explain what your options are and give you samples to test your flavor options. If you like hummus, go try them out!!! read more

Disappointed, ordered a pick up of a bowl with the lame that cost extra. Also with spinach, couscous, olives and dressing. It only came with two pieces of lame 1 tinny scoop of couscous the rest was filled up with completely spinach. So I basically paid for a salad with 2 slices of meat that was $17! Called and talked to the OWNER! and he was very rude not willing to help with any type of refund even though on the phone he stated that the meat and couscous should have had more in the bowl. They use clover registers that literally have a button for a refund. Do not recommend eating/paying this establishment for basically ripping people off. In the picture I ate all of the spinach and the two tinny meat slivers on top. The rest was a tinny tinny! Scoop of couscous and a little bit of olives. read more

Friendly, helpful staff. I had a build-your-own bowl, which contains a large portion of a variety of vegetables, hummus and chicken, and is delicious! The pomegranate lemonade is really good as well -- great for a hot day! read more

I absolutely love this place. It's very clean very affordable. They have lots of options on the menu. Very great staff host waitresses. Everybody was on point and the food was absolutely amazing. Definitely will be coming back to this wonderful place. read more

Flavor and service are amazing. My only complaint are the protein portions. I ordered beef gyro meat and chicken shawarma in my bowl, and paid for an extra portion of chicken shawarma meat, and I don't feel like I received an appropriate amount for a bowl that cost me $23. If you are someone who is big on portion sizes and feels chipotle skimps on double meat, this place makes those servings look like a feast and for half the price. read more

New to the area and ran into this place. Great service and fresh food! Will definitely return!

Holy moly this place is such a breathe of fresh air here! It's build your own style so you can add whatever you'd like. The food is flavorful. The portions are large which is fantastic! They carry a jalapeño sauce that's so stinken good my husband keeps asking me to go buy more of it! They have lemonades for drinks and they're all so yummy and refillable so feel free to try the different flavors! The staff is friendly. My only complaint is the high plexiglass, makes hearing them super hard, especially for the elderly(we had some with us and they were struggling to hear and understand). If they cut it in half it could still protect the food but make it much easier to communicate. But doesn't change the rating at all, 5 star worthy for sure. read more

So a little late to review but here we go! What started off as a curious little stop in, has turned into a must have weekly treat! The staff is always super nice and friendly. They took the time to explain ingredients we weren't familiar with. They were also very patient considering it was our first time visit. We ordered the bowls, which at the end looked really huge. But once you start eating it all just disappears. From the first bite till the last it was just superb. It's so fresh and tasty. Will definitely and positively be coming back again. read more

I spent $18 bucks on a wrap smaller in size than my hand. My wife got a bowl that was frozen. What a waste of money. I am posting this second review in response to Hummus Republic's response. Thank you for your fast response, I have one more thing to say to your response. In had no idea that my order was so small. I didn't intend to order finger food. Even though I didn't order every possible side, I spent $18 dollars on essentially an egg roll sized wrap. I have a problem with that. I hope you can see that. read more
