Dizengoff

Wow just loved this. The eggplant hummus was the best! We tried a few things and that was the favorite. The hummus is creamy and flavourful. Really nice sized portions. Quick service. Nice vegetarian options. Not a big drinks selection. Conveniently located within Chelsea Market, and some seating is nearby as long as it's not busy.

the close proximity of two israeli places in chelsea market allows for a side by side comparison of miznon & ditzengoff. ditzengoff is a lot less busy, which results in nicely short waits. they use the standard square POI system, so payment is streamlined. you get a number with your order, which makes it easy to pick up your food when it is ready. ditzengoff's menu is a lot more limited, and more classic israeli. the star here is really the hummus, which is fantastic.

Inside the Chelsea market. Came here for the hummus, a little unsure if it would be as good as advertised... and it was even better. One of the best hummus I’ve ever tried. Really smooth, flavorful hummus... the bread is also perfect. And the beet root salad is also spectacular. You can even try other foods on the Chelsea market but don’t miss the opportunity to try the Dizengoff food.

Easy 5 stars. Delicious pita with great hummus. The hummus is a bit too tahineh-heavy for me personally, but it's definitely very good. I make the recipe from Salomonov's book Zahav and this is pretty much the exact same -- the best recipe I've tried out of about 15 (and I usually adjust the lemon juice and garlic up to match my personal taste).

Had a lovely time. The food was good, creative, authentic in many ways, and well priced. The stools were very uncomfortable for me and it was pretty cold in the area. The service was stellar. I found the chef's behavior with her personal friends a bit distracting and annoying- but otherwise it was delightful. I don't feel compelled to come back but highly recommend the dinner service.

There was a lot of excitement over this well-known Philly export finally coming to NYC, and I'm happy to report that the hype is justified! The star of the show is the hummus, which is served plain (with tahini) or with a variety of toppings. Most are interesting vegetable toppings, but there is always a meat option available. It appears pricey compared to other hummus places but you get a sizable amount along with an Israeli salad (which I could eat a giant bowl of on its own!) and a warm pita. The shakshuka is popular in the mornings and only served until 11. Use the entrance on 9th Avenue if you don't want to walk the entire length of Chelsea Market to get there.

The fresh-baked pita is thick and fluffy and warm; we tried hummus with beans and an egg. The hummus texture is lemony and smooth, which we happen to like. The hummus plate isn't cheap ($13) but it was enough for two people to share. Next time we'll probably pass on the egg; it didn't taste much different than a hard-boiled egg to us.

Had the basic hummus platter with the cucumber salad and pickles and a fluffy fresh pita. My friend got the lamb version topped with sliced almonds, and we each had their frozen lemonade drink (minty sweet lemony deliciousness). Everything we had was super tasty and we were able to grab seats right in front of the oven so we could watch the pitas baking as we ate. Highly recommend.
