| - Middle eastern restaurants are easy to find on Eastern Avenue, I can think of at least 7 off the top of my head. Most are good to excellent. HUMMUS is spectacular!!! I was there in their first week which typically is difficult for restaurants. I should know as I have been involved with the startup of several restaurants that eventually became national chains. Yet, HUMMUS hit the ground running fast and is still running at top speed. I keep on coming back because they get an A+ for quality of the food, decor, prices (value), and good service. They get a B+ on location as it can be hard to find as it is located behind some other restaurants.
Let me try to describe how good the food is as well as the concept. Some other reviewer described HUMMUS as being similar to Chipolte. That is a good description but I truly feel the quality of the food is better at Hummus. You first choose your flavor of hummus or babaghanoush (egg plant) for your bowl or wrap. Then came the fresh greens including your choice of romaine, baby spinach, kale or baby chard. Next came either herbed rice or black lentils. I usually ask for a little of both. This is followed by a generous scoop of either steak/chicken/lamb or vegetarian options. I have never tried anything but the chicken because it is that good. Top off this bowl or wrap with various toppings and then pick your sauce including the house favorite garlic sauce. My own personal favorite is their own house dressing called citrus mint. Writing this review is making me hungry!!!
The decor of HUMMUS is pleasant with a healthy feel. Speaking of healthy, the ingredients all seemed to be fresh. Even though I am a meat eater, vegetarians and vegans will be pleased by the choices they may find at HUMMUS. I also really like that they did not go the way of having either a Pepsi or Coke soda fountain. The soft drinks were very different and quite tasty. HUMMUS also makes some home made drinks such as cucumber mint.. BTW, the paper bowls they use are recyclable. I believe this is one example of how the owner also wants a healthy world. My only complaint on the decor is that the restaurant sometimes runs out of seating during busy times because people just want to hang out there. It is a nice problem for a restaurant to have.
The prices are a very good value for what you get. The grilled chicken bowl I usually get is only $7.90. The beef and lamb are only slightly more. Drinks are reasonably priced at about $2.50. A side of pita fries is also $2.50 with a side of falafel being about $4.
Good customer service is important to any restaurant. The people behind the counter are friendly yet quick. If you don't know what to try, they can suggest bowls or wraps that others have loved, The owner seems to be there most of the time and just may drop by your table to see what you think. He is always trying to improve but seriously folks, there is not much to improve on.
The location of HUMMUS is somewhat difficult to find but this will help. Ii's in the northwest corner of the intersection of Sun Ridge Heights and Eastern. It is behind a couple of buildings (like Lee's Liquor) and I believe it has a green sign.
In conclusion, if you like really good fresh food at a reasonable price and at a place where they truly value their customers, HUMMUS is a place you must try. #hummusbowls #gethumbowled
