Red Smoothie & Turkish Coffee
Jenn W.

This Mediterranean restaurant is located in downtown Edmonton on 124 street. VISH provides fresh, healthy and nutritious options made to order with heartwarming hospitality. The food is very flavorful and fresh. My favourite was the VISH Tasting Platter; I really enjoyed all the different dips, each with a unique flavour profile. The bread was warm, light and fluffy, perfect for dipping.The portions were so generous that I actually had to pack everything up. The decor is fresh with lots of green and natural lighting.

Patio in sept

Hummus, hummus, hummus. So many vegan and vegetarian options. We walked down 124th St. and were able to snag a nice table on the "patio".They have a couple bistro tables set out on the sidewalk. My husband ordered a wrap and I ordered hummus with mushrooms. Both were very good. The staff was very friendly and the food came out quickly. You can get any hummus plate put into a wrap.

Have a hearty meal and feel virtuous and healthy, too. This is next level hummus from a hummus bar chain in Israel. Small restaurant on 124 serving vegetarian food. Everything is fresh and delish! We had Vish sabich (mushrooms and eggplant) and Vish Jerusalem w nuts and just about everything. Served w fluffy pita. We had the chopped salad. We were super full! Next time, we'll try their drinks! They look great. Too full for their yummy truffles. Next time!

Happy All Day Brunch

If you're looking for an authentic Mediterranean meal, check-out Vish anytime of the week & they are sure to deliver what you're looking for! Each dish is fresh, delicious & full of flavor! We've tried the following: Happy All Day Brunch - Moroccan sweet red pepper and spicy tomato sauce, 2 poached eggs, small chopped salad, hummus dip, tahini dip, babaganoush, hot peppers salad. Served with Challah bread BBQ Pulled Beef Combo Plate - 24 hrs. slow-cooked brisket, hummus, tahini, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, parsley, pickled red onion Chicken Shawarma - Hummus, tahini, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, parsley, pickled red onion Falafel Pita Pocket - Hummus, tahini, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, parsley Memory Shake - Vish tahini, banana, dates, cocoa beans, peanut butter, cashew, almond milk Believe it or not, we all liked everything that we've tried - from the Challah which was warm & soft to the tasty dipping sauces, to the succulent BBQ pulled beef combo plate, to the pita pockets (the chicken curry & the falafels-- so good!) & the high protein creamy Memory Shake! Just hands-down! Try it for yourself! You will definitely like it! For service, Barak (hope I got that spelling right) was very welcoming & accommodating to our requests. He was also tried to explain each dish to us with enthusiasm. For ambiance, the resto has a calm & cozy feel. We went during lunch time on a Friday, & it was a bit busy. Nevertheless, customers were all attended for.

Vegan shawarma hummus bowl with falafel added on.

I have been fascinated with the idea of hummus being the main part of a meal, as opposed to a side dip or sandwich spread, but at VISH hummus is the star. I had delivery last week, and went for the vegan shawarma bowl and added a side of falafel balls. The vegan shawarma was well-seasoned and had a texture reminiscent of the chicken it was replacing. The falafel balls were crispy and of the green fava bean variety. I placed them in the hummus bowl, along with the vegan shawarma that dominated the bowl's centre. But what really dominated the meal was the hummus. I have never had such creamy hummus before. It had the consistency of a nut spread - and speaking of which, had a very nutty flavour. The warm pits on the side was the perfect accompaniment. While I thought the bowl was a little on the pricey side, the portion is deceptively large and I ended up with another lunch from it. Two people could easily share. I'm looking forward to trying other menu items.

Vish recently opened their first Canadian location on 10326 124 street (a few doors down from Remedy cafe). They're an urban hummus bar serving hot hummus dishes with a variety of toppings and Yemen pita bread, so there are lots of vegetarian and vegan options that are rich in nutritional values Here's what I got to try: -vishuka hummus with poached egg, Moroccan sweet red pepper & spicy tomato sauce (loved how it was all made fresh to order and the warmth of the hummus was definitely a nice change from what I'm used to) -babaganoush, hot peppers and Turkish salad -falafel, olives and pickles -Yemen pita bread, spicy green paste and garlic & lemon juice sauce -memory shake (banana, dates, peanut butter, tahini, cashew & almond milk) -"malabi" milk pudding with a sweet rose drizzle (this was to die for ) If I'm being completely honest, I was blown away by the deliciousness of every single item as well as the service and hospitality. This business is such an amazing addition to 124th street and the Edmonton food scene. Which items are you guys most excited to try?

BBQ Pulled Beef Sandvish

Great cozy space and you gotta try the malabi! I loved how they have a variety of hummus and other dips too! Bread and pita were fresh, warm, and soft which complimented the Shakshuka and hummus well! The concept of sandvishes is great and the bbq pulled beef was tender.

Chicken platter

Finally we got to try this place and man it was so so so so soooo good!! I'm a meat head I absolutely love meat but man this was sooo good! The hummus was amazing and just everything was way to good. Everything is so fresh, sure it takes a little time to get your food but is so worth it and so so good. The sandwich was so amazing like I cannot wait to go back there and have it again.

Malabi - custard like with rose water and toasted coconuts (dessert)
Lillian T.

The appetizing, tasty & colourful spread of food that we had vishcanada! We pretty much had a taste of everything from the super smooth og hummus, classic shakshuka (sweet r red peppers & tomatoes) , hummus dip, tahini dip & falafel. Of note for sure were the pitas and gorgeous challah bread accompanying the meal. Their hummus is made fresh on the spot- pretty much the second that you order. We ended our meal with a lusciously soft & refreshing Malabi dessert (custardy topped with rose water & toasted coconuts).

Always so tasty here. I've taken so many family and friends here. From the smoothies, combo plates, to their pita pockets. Most things are made to order, and you can really taste that. I like that they offer meat options for non-vegans too now. The atmosphere is always clean, and the staff are always courteous. We will definitely be back.

Chicken shawarma combo
Hana R.

Vish has AMAZING warm and creamy hummus and pita, given that they are a hummus bar it makes sense. I ventured out and ordered the shawarma platter and did not enjoy it as much as the hummus that so I would stick to the hummus based menu items! Service was very quick and I love the warm interior.

Shakshuka
Lily V.

Forget what you think you know about hummus, because Vish is a modern hummus bar that's bringing hummus to the main event - it's not just a dip here. Hot hummus dishes are made to order with a variety of toppings like chickpeas, fava beans, shakshuka, eggplant, mushrooms or vegan shawarma. Don't sleep on the house made falafel with the brightest green interior and mouth watering salads. All designed to be scooped up with pita bread baked fresh daily to wipe your plate clean. (That's where the namesake 'Vish' originates - it's a slang word meaning 'wipe', the most authentic way to enjoy hummus.) Also on the menu are plant-based shakes free from sugar, preservatives or artificial flavours and colours - and they all sound delicious! Finally, end it off with a classic Mediterranean coffee infused with cardamom (boosting digestion without boosting the nervous system), and their incredible desserts: malabi (think creamy panna cotta with a fruity sauce and toasted coconut) & decadent chocolate tahini truffles. The entire menu is vegetarian/vegan with the exception of eggs in a couple dishes, that can be removed, and dairy in the malabi - and let me tell you, it was all so filling & flavourful, we did not miss having meat at all! Lastly, the menu is super reasonably priced, you're going to leave satisfied without breaking the bank! A bright space with a view into the open kitchen, it's a unique addition to the 124 St food offerings!

Hummus

We have eaten at this restaurant several times! the food is delicious! The employees there are very nice and helpful, great hummus and pita!!!!! For those who missed real authentic hummus, this is the place!

Menu has so many different options but it doesn't fall far from grilled meat, rice, fresh salad, fries and warm puffy pita bread with hummus and tzatziki. Food was excellent. My husband went with the Sultan Kafta Plate Five patties served white rice, hummus, garlic, salad, fries, and one pita bread. While I went with the Beef Lamb Shawarma Plate Served with white rice, hummus, garlic, salad, fries, and one pita bread. I always get a tea here, because it is lovely and strong. Food came in a fast manner, and everything was fresh. My husband wasn't too thrilled with the spice profile of the Sultan Kafta plate, and probably won't get it again. He will probably stick with something with stronger notes like the Adana Kabab (my favourite). I enjoyed mine and the meat was plentiful. We are always too full to try dessert, but they look good in the display case. Service was friendly and prompt.

When I opened the box, there was a good portion of fries, salad, hummus, chicken, and rice. I dipped the pita into the hummus and it was smooth and delicious! The salad was fresh and flavourful. Both the hummus and salad would have me coming back. I had a few bites of the chicken and rice before I was too full to continue. I liked the chicken more than the beef, but it was good to try both. I can't wait to order again!

Also when we went inside it seemed a bit chaotic! There were five of us, one order was wrong and the another order came at the very end when the other four dishes were already finished! The food was good and delicious! I would like to imagine it was an off day and would like to go back there again! The quality and value of the food was definitely good!

We dropped in on a busy Saturday (12:30pm) for lunch. The inside is huge. Servers are friendly and but no water is served. Menu consists of platters, pita pies, salads, wraps, Mediterranean platters, fatayer and pizza. - Baba ghanouj ($8.00) - came with a platter of fresh, pillowy soft pitas. The baba ghanouj was creamy. Generous portion. - Tabouli ($7.00) - good portion but standard fare. - Zaatar pita pie ($2.00) - my favourite thing we ordered. Always a must when it's on the menu. - Beef shawarma ($8.00) - didn't try but our friends enjoyed it. - Trio platter ($20.00) - beef was the best of the bunch. The garlic sauce was great. Rice was a touch bland. Fattoush was okay. - Lamb mansaf ($20.00) - lamb shank was tender but plain. - Fatayer ($10.00 for 12) - you get to pick 3 flavours. We went with meat (my favourite), akawi (white brined cheese) and kishik (bulgur with milk/yoghurt). Good portions at RoB but very carb heavy.

Kabsa is easily the best kabab-house in Edmonton! I have been to many of them in YEG, and have…read morefound not only do they serve easily the most flavourful food, but they also include extremely generous proportions. My fiancé and I typically share one order of chicken kabab as there is plenty of food for us. Their rice really stands out, which is so crucial when it is the base of this genre of cuisine. It has so much zest! The meals include delicious humus, and kebab-shop sauce (white garlic sauce). Further they have an unreal delicious salad included, which is particularly appreciated considering most shops put little to no effort into an included salad due to it not being the main dish. The attention to detail from the team at Kabsa is fabulous. Could not be happier having found my new summer-time staple!

So on her birthday we try to take her to a…read morenonconventional place for this especially because the rest of the family would like to eat something other than French fries (go figure). This place is tucked away in a strip mall in the north end. Pretty basic on the inside, but clean. It is a little confusing though, because they hand you the menus, and then they don't say that you needed to go up to order. We figured this out, but another couple left and I think it was I think that they thought they were not being served. Thorough menu but no real vegatarian options (just salad and hummus). I was surprised that there wasn't a falafel dish. Anyway, Hubby decided on the Iraqi kabobs, kiddo 1 went with a chicken shamarma wrap, and I chose the grilled fish. Birthday girl got the fries. Food came out a bit on the slow side, but it was really busy in there. Food was flavourful. My husband and I got a complimentary soup which was rich in taste. My fish was perfectly grilled, and it came with a boatload of seasoned rice. Hubby's kababs were spicy and delicious and came with the same rice as I but also a side salad and hummus and pita. I sampled the hummus and it was delicous. Nice and creamy. Both kids were excited about their dishes. Perhaps a little on the high side for price considering the ambiance, but food was good. I would come here again.
