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.
Sonia WongNovember 6, 2012Love everything except the hummus. Be sure to try the daily specials! They are delicious, homey and well priced.
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
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.
LisaSeptember 6, 2013Great food. One of the best hummus I've had. Try the green chili with the hummus.
Michael ChangApril 22, 2013Pita bread is fresh and fluffy; perfect for devouring with green Harissa sauce and hummus!
Michael KeatingApril 3, 2013I love this place. Great food, great service, great prices. My favorite spot in Palo Alto.- 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!
I had tn e fish Kabob and a cup of corn soup. Both were delicious, try that next time while you are there.
Hummus, kebab, Israeli salad, lemonade - perfect lunch combo.
Best restaurant in downtown Palo Alto. Get there early, the wait can be crazy!
P SOctober 15, 2014If you are looking for a proper hummus and are reading this, look no further. Come here and enjoy.- The Taste SheriffApril 30, 2016Good hummus joint. The service is kind of annoying but whatever, the place is borderline fast food anyway. Try the chicken kebab.
in the mood for authentic Israeli/middle eastern food? this is the best restaurant of its kind in all of northern california. trust.- 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!
Simply the best hummus I've ever had. Worth a trip just to eat lunch here.
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
Love the food. Service usually very friendly, but today's hostess looks like she needs anti-depressants.
Michelle BalhornMay 12, 2014The lemonaid with mint leaves is amazing. There was nothing on our table that was not delicious.
Barak BerkowitzMay 3, 2012Have three small plates or sampler. Great deal and plenty of food. Love this place. The real thing.
Rice bowl is an absolute winner. Also, hard boiled egg as a side!
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
David SmithJuly 3, 2013Get here early for lunch as it is very popular. Great chicken and sweet potato fries.
Want take out? Enter the back door from the ally and go straight to the cash register to order or pickup.
Best hummus in the Bay area, tastes exactly like in the Middle East.
Get the chicken skewers!! Def choose the hummus as one of your sides-- it's amazing!
Hummus to die for with imported ingredients from Israel. recommended!

"This is the most delicious and best vanilla ice cream I have ever had. Bourbon vanilla with salted caramel. It is to die for."
Matt G - 9.2
"It's in the most amazing space, easily the best iteration of a blue bottle. Possibly the best iteration of a coffee shop. The food is excellent, and (as at any blue bottle), get a NOLA or a cortado."
