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.- Manik KhannaMarch 16, 2012Don't forget to get the chicken skewers - they're amazing. Forget the entree, just get it as a side with hummus..yum!
Love the food. Service usually very friendly, but today's hostess looks like she needs anti-depressants.- Zachary Bouzan-KaloustianOctober 5, 2011For two people share a large plate of hummus and 4-5 sides. Recommending the beets, sweet potato fries and obviously the hummus!
- Get the counter in the front for some of the best people watching in Palo Alto.
best hummus I've ever had outside of Israel. the meat hummus and mushroom hummus are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY AMAZING!
Michael ChangApril 22, 2013Pita bread is fresh and fluffy; perfect for devouring with green Harissa sauce and hummus!
Their wifi password is named after one of the best hummus shops in Israel: Abu Hasan
Melanie DewBerryApril 30, 2013Simple and delsih, my friends The Hummus Beef. And btw, I don't ever order lemonade and I did and it was goooood
The best humus in the Bay Area . Worth the wait or better - take away to eat in the park near by.
Barak BerkowitzMay 3, 2012Have three small plates or sampler. Great deal and plenty of food. Love this place. The real thing.
Adelle CharlesNovember 2, 2022Great happy hour from 3-5, half price wines and a ton of hummus and sampler platters.
Hummus, kebab, Israeli salad, lemonade - perfect lunch combo.
Rice bowl is an absolute winner. Also, hard boiled egg as a side!
- in the mood for authentic Israeli/middle eastern food? this is the best restaurant of its kind in all of northern california. trust.
LisaSeptember 6, 2013Great food. One of the best hummus I've had. Try the green chili with the hummus.
David SmithJuly 3, 2013Get here early for lunch as it is very popular. Great chicken and sweet potato fries.
Michelle BalhornMay 12, 2014The lemonaid with mint leaves is amazing. There was nothing on our table that was not delicious.
Ryuji IshiguroOctober 10, 2015You'll be waiting for at least 10 minutes to have a seat even when it's not busy hour! No one here cares to serve you. You should walk to the counter and find someone just messing around there
Ben RussoDecember 25, 2014Grab their hummus or other delicious sides to go. And some of their fresh pita bread!
Michael KeatingApril 3, 2013I love this place. Great food, great service, great prices. My favorite spot in Palo Alto.
Simply the best hummus I've ever had. Worth a trip just to eat lunch here.
P SOctober 15, 2014If you are looking for a proper hummus and are reading this, look no further. Come here and enjoy.
Sweet potato fries are delicious, but too salty. Ask for no salt ones and they will be perfect. (The sauce is very salty)
The hummus eggplant is pretty good but by no means exceptional
Edward GonzalesAugust 29, 2015They won't seat you until your entire party is there. Don't try to meet your slow/late friends here.
If you're not that hungry, get the small plates. 2-3 of those add up to a decent sized meal that is not too filing.
Best hummus in the Bay area, tastes exactly like in the Middle East.
Gibrán MéndezApril 8, 2012Try the Chicken Kebab Plate - Chicken kebab with basmati rice and sweet potato fries.
Simon CarignanOctober 15, 2012If the wait is too long, you can get anything on the menu to go or swing by quickly for their to-go hummus
