The Hummus Bar & Grill

We have been to Hummus Bar & Grill several times, and I think the food here is pretty good. Sometimes it is a hit-or-a-miss, and this is something you need to be aware of when going here. You could either have a wonderful meal (as many reviews show) or you might end up disappointed with some of the dishes you order. I have had quite a few different menu items here, and here are my thoughts: the hummus here is amazing. I have absolutely no complaints, and if you get the hummus with beef or mushrooms it’s even more amazing! This is a must when visiting. They bring out a massive pita bread - soft, warm, crunchy on the edges and slightly chewy in the middle - and you could have 10 of these, they’re addicting. Another dish that is out-of-this-world is the Earthy Baladi Eggplant - I don’t like eggplant at all (never would willingly order it), but the way they prepare this is just amazing. It doesn’t taste like eggplant at all, and the sweet flavor is just awesome. This is another thing you should definitely order. There are many more things I could recommend, but I generally have found the appetizers, specialty plates and salads to be consistently better than other things on the menu. Rice is great (es expected). Their Liver & Onions is really good if you enjoy this type of dish (I have family who always gets this and they say it’s really good - better than most places), and most beef dishes are really good as well. They know how to cook beef here!! I haven’t tried other meats like their lamb and Merguez sausages yet, so I can’t comment on them (though I’d assume they would be good as well based off other reviews), but the chicken is less-than-spectacular in my opinion. For instance, I recently got the chicken shawarma, and it was very bland, dry, and just tasted like a bunch of shredded chicken with little spice on a plate. I can’t recommend this dish - definitely get something else other than the chicken shawarma. There could be better chicken dishes, but I’ve just stuck with beef and had a much better time. All in all, this is still a solid place. The chicken dishes might not be the best (and it’s entirely possible I’ve just had them on off-days and they’re not representative of what the restaurant normally cooks), but many other things on the menu make up for it - I definitely would say Hummus Bar & Grill is worth going to, especially if you’re craving Israeli food/Mediterranean food. I will continue to visit and I will continue to revise my review as I try more things!

🥙🍞🚗🌟 Strutted into this Israeli gem and, whoa, flavor explosion! Those kabobs? They do the job. But the star of the show? Those ginormous Laffa breads that keep rolling out like a red carpet – and for free, until you wave the white flag! Dive into a smorgasbord of sides that pair like a dream with your food or Laffa. And the hummus? Smooth operator right there. Calling all veggies, this joint's got your back! Parking's a breeze, right next door. Choose your dining destiny, from indoors to alfresco. But a heads up: leaving without a happy food baby? Impossible!

Service 3/5 Taste 5/5 Price 4/5 Menu/options 4/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Probably the best Mediterranean place I've ever tried. The mushroom hummus is to die for; I could not believe how it good was. The falafel was also really good and fresh. I've never had a falafel taste as clean and fresh as that one. They complimentary sour veggies, olives, and freshly done pita bread. If you're vegetarian/vegan this is a great place because there are a lot of options. I do not recommend the schnitzel because it was nothing out of the ordinary. Their menu is a bit on the pricier side but it is well worth it due to their extremely large portions.

As is in the name, the hummus here is absolutely amazing. I've had the beef and mushroom hummus, that's what keeps me coming here. All the other dishes, middle eastern style, are very good but nothing that stands out too much. Unlimited free pita bread is phenomenal as well.

My favorite take out spot when I'm in Los Angeles! In my opinion, they have the best hummus around. I wish they allowed you to take the dips to go! Those are so good.
