The price on the chicken skewers is deceiving—you get to choose two sides to go along with the skewers. And one of those sides will be hummus.

Order ahead with OrderAhead (it's an app) and avoid the wait for to go orders. Though it's best to confirm it (by phone if) went through.

The hummus trio is great if you're as indecisive as I am...make sure you ask for the red chili and green harissa sauces too
Michael ChangApril 22, 2013
Pita bread is fresh and fluffy; perfect for devouring with green Harissa sauce and hummus!
