Hummus place, you've got a new fan.
I was so excited to try this place out due to my love for hummus. I even took pictures out in front, inside holding the menu, eating.... You did not disappoint me Hummus Place!!! I went for the traditional hummus with whole chick peas on top and it was so sooo yummy in my tummy!!! It was warm, bursting with flavor and the perfect texture. I can go for some right now.
I only wish Hummus Place was a teeny bit bigger and had a little bit more of a variety of hummus flavors so that I can go everyday and order a different type of hummus each one of those days. Besides that, I loved it!
Hummus is not a meal!
I suppose I've always thought of it more as a condiment, or a side dish at best.
But, I'm open minded so we decided to stop in for lunch.
It's a tiny space with only one waitress. And she's kind of unfriendly and clueless. But, I digress ...
My Mom and I ordered the same thing, the Shakshuka, 2 eggs over easy in a tomato stew with peppers and onions. She ordered hers with halumi cheese in it, and I went without. It came served in an actual skillet. For something so simple, it was very hearty and flavorful. I don't see myself craving it anytime soon, but when eaten with their light and fluffy pita, it was a tasty and very healthy lunch. I particularly enjoyed the mint iced tea that I'd ordered to wash it all down.
I don't even like hummus that much, but we had to order the restaurant's namesake and got the Hummus Masabacha. It was a lot better than I expected, and far superior to any pre-packaged versions that I've picked up in markets or specialty stores. However, it wasn't really mind blowing and it didn't convert me into a hummus fanatic. But, after eating here, I dislike it slightly less.
This place is absolutely, totally 100% vegetarian.
Love you Hummus Place, Looove you! You're not quite Taim, but you really hit the spot when I've got a craving for falafel, hummus and pita. You've got a little seating, too! (Taim doesn't have that) Want to know my favorite thing, Hummus Place? My faaaaavveee is the Hummus Fava with some roasted eggplant on the side. Dip some of that warm pita in that goodness and I'm set for life! Yumskers! Oh and by the way, BY THE WAY, you're a good vegetarian meal. Now that's important. It's hard out here for a Vegetarian!
Ok, love you, bye bye!
It sucks on the weekends here in New York...I mean the subways...It's the never ending constructions going on....and the trains being rerouted here and there...its getting to be a problem ...what was once a 30 minute ride to the city ...now goes to 1 hour and beyond...it is ridiculous...
We left our house at about 1:00 pm to have brunch at Shopsin...a popular little eatery in Delancy...located inside the Essex Market, in downtown Manhattan...got a heads up by fellow yelpers...reading all their positive reviews...I wanted to find out for myself about this unusual menu they have ...
BUT...the waiter just told the couple ahead of us that they were about to close..WHAT!!! it was disappointing!!!....It was 2:45 pm...all because of the trains....we had to take the train back 3 stops to West 4th in the Village...to scout around for our Saturday gig..
.
There were a couple of places here that I wanted to try anyway......One of them is the Hummus Place... something healthy and light...no meats..
Camille and I both shared the Hummus Masabacha, topped with whole chick peas,olive oil and spices and we both ordered the Shakshuka ...mine with Halumi cheese and Camille ,,,without it...love cheese......Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern stew of tomatoes, peppers olive oil & spices with 2 Organic eggs over easy in the stew. ..it comes with hot pita bread, a saucer of olives and pickles and a little container of green hot sauce. It was one of the best hummus I've had....aside from my own homemade ones of course....Camille watered it down with Mint Iced Tea....I had water.........all in all it was a sumptous late lunch...a lot better probably than Shopsin...looking back..I was glad we didn't make it there.on time....just going over the menus they had..it was riddled with calories...sugar ...carbohydrates....like Mac & Cheese pancake, Jalapeno Cheese grits, Nutella shake, Buttersotch Pancakes...Blisters on my sister...whatever that is.....Oh well.....I'll probably give it a try sometime....
It's always fun walking around the village...there is always something going on there....i love the antigue shops.....bought myself a set of lapiz lazuli...matching necklace and earrings...arabian nights color...intense blue...beautiful.....then passed by Tonis Minis ...had to stop and take home some Red Velvet and Carrot cake cupcakes.....
and another Vanilla for Nashad.,.sorry cant help it....after that ,it was a long ride home with the unending problem with the trains....It was nice to be home....
Wow. It started off pretty good and took a tragic turn for the worst. Hummus Place, you blew it.
To be fair, the food here is excellent. (prepared wonderfully by 2 Mexican fellows who deserve all the credit here) We had a trio of apps, which consisted of Lebane, Stuffed Grape Leaves and Masabacha......all excellent. The mojitos made with arak were very good.
Now, here's where HP shit the bed:
Your hospitality quite frankly, blows.
Let me explain: our waitress/hostess once we sat came over, said hi and asked us out of the side of her mouth, "wouldulykepickoliveshe?"
me: "excuse me?"
her: "would you like pickles and olives?"
to which we said, "yeah sure!" Sounded like fun! I like olives and pickles! She brings em' over, they're tasty....great all is well. So next I ask her what they put in the mojitos which were the drink special that night, she explains that they are made with Arak (a Middle Eastern liquor) instead of rum. Now, I've had Arak before with my Lebanese uncle many, many times. All I asked her was, "oh Arak, that is Lebanese isn't it?" She looked at me like I had shit on my nose. Total Lemon Face. She replied oh so sourly, "No. Do you want them?".
Ok, so the tone was set, great. Thanks for the warmth! Sorry I didn't know Israelis invented EVERYTHING. My bad!
Anyhoo, time to pay the bill! Check comes, I put down my card. She walks by us 50-60 times, too busy because she's hanging and having a great time with her friends, who were.....you guessed it! Israeli! Shocker!!!! So finally when she gets around to us, she says "oh sorry the register can't read credit cards for the last hour or 2." Then she just walks away! Ok, is the meal free? What's the deal? So we flag her down, explain we have no cash and would have appreciated a heads up about the no cards deal. She says, "there's an ATM right across the street". Oh you mean the one that's OUTSIDE the bodega on a Saturday night at 11 o'clock that has a guy passed out in front of it? That one? Then I look at the bill again and we realize that she charged us for the pickles and olives?!??! Seriously? So I have to go pay the $3 ATM fee and they don't knock a DIME off the bill?
Check- $40.81
You get -$41.00
Have a good night princess and kiss my ass.
It's called customer service, learn it, live it, love it.
If I'm going to ask someone about where I can get some good eats, I tend to ask the Journalist, the New Yorker, the Californian, or the New Orleanian.
I was told about this Hummus Place by my friend of mine who's a true blood New Yorker (An AP journalist in NYC for more than 8 y ears), who's also into eating good food. I walked in this Middle Eastern cafe and ordered the hummus and what can I say?
The hummus here is the best I've ever had in my life! The best part is that it's cheap too.
If you can get past the idea that hummus might be just enough for a whole meal, you're good as gold.
Honestly, I was seriously doubting the filling-strength of some smushed up chickpeas, but the Masabacha and quinoa tabouleh held me down for a long post-work day.
Gotta say though -- the music in here fuckin' sucks. Ordinarily bad music in a resto is just fodder for good conversation, but I dined alone here and had to suffer through NYU Class of 2010's music picks which seemed to be inspired by the Juno soundtrack.
Another cheap food joint on MacDougal. The most surprising thing about it was how long it took me before I tried this place. I've gone a few times in the last few months and it's always just kind of...meh. The menu is tiny and the hummus is kind of...well, bland. I always find myself trying to self season with salt...even pepper sometimes just to TASTE something. The stuffed grape leaves, however, are the best I ever had anywhere (including the dolma in Greece) mostly due to the fact that they aren't lathered in grease (the other kind) like most versions of the dish. So one bland hummus and a kick ass dolma later, washed down with a $4 sangria and all around it's a good meal. Just not great.
I guess I expected more from them after all the fuss.
I love stopping by here when I'm on my way to a show, or just need a quick bite while I'm running around town. The hummus is great, there's always a table, and the Turkish coffee to finish off the meal is to die for.
dear god I ate so much food when I came here! The portions here are huge so definitely bring someone else with you, or else go when you haven't eaten in like days, or are trying to gain weight.
First off, just because its a hummus place, DON'T skip out on the delicious sides. At lunch there is some special where you get a free side. I opted for the eggplant which was ridiculous; I can almost say the best I've had in a NY restaurant. The incredibly good looking waiter brought me another side on the house: tabouli. That I could have passed on, seeing how it was nothing out of the ordinary.
The Masabacha hummus is a melt-in-yo-mouth spice and flavor marathon. Too bad the pita bread killed all feeling in my mouth due to its horrendous stale nature. Its store bought.
Don't skimp out on the green hot sauce. That shit shouldn't be missed.
I'm a big fan of hummus and pita and Hummus Place will definitely be my go-to the next time I'm having a craving. The pita bread was definitely not what I expected. It was fluffy, thick, soft and not burnt at all! I'm used to the thin, flat pita you can find at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. The hummus masabacha was delicious. I couldn't get enough of it! I really liked the green hot sauce and thought it was spicy, but it depends on what you're used to. I don't have a high tolerance for spices since I'm Asian but my Indian friend thought the hot sauce wasn't spicy at all.
One downside though: the prices! I got the lunch special that includes one type of hummus w/ pita and one appetizer. It totaled to $8.17 with tax. But then I'm a frugal spender.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place! I'll be trying the hummus fava next time. See you there!
Well if you want hummus, this is .. well.. the place.
It's a simple concept .They have 5 or 6 different types of hummus bowls, two different pitas, and a variety of vegetarian appetizers.
The hummus was delicious, the pita hearty, and even the lemonade was delightfully refreshing and all delightfully well priced.
If you want meat... well not the place for you, but hey, it's good try new things once in a while right?
I'm usually here when I'm so hungry that it makes me cry.
First off, do not get toasted pine nuts on your hummus--- it doesn't really enhance the taste at all. The pine nuts taste like they've been frozen and then defrosted, then over-toasted.
Second, the mushroom hummus is king but, the most filling hummus on the menu is the fava bean because it includes half a WHOLE BOILED EGG.
Third, the hummus comes from a loud machine--- it makes the comforting sounds of a busy womb. Try to stave off wanting to call it mommy by having a 3 dollar mojito smoothie. To make the drink, they just turbo blend ice, booze, and mint to the point that it's actually creamy and not icey like a slushy.
I've always ordered the whole wheat pita. Those dream disks come out as warm and fluffy as fresh laundry. My roommate highly recommends the white ones, whatevah, I like pretending to be healthy.
However, no matter what vehicle you decide to feast your face in hummus with, I usually just drop my face into the plate like a narcoleptic, it will be stupid thick n' creamy and filling.
Only go if you're extremely hungry or have a particular FTW attitude that day. This shit is real, eat it with the green hot sauce.
If Hummus, and the like, is your idea of a dinner then this is the place for you. Some of the best hummus, dolmas, tabouleh, and other sides that I've had in a restaurant. I ate here a long time ago and can't remember exactly what I tried, but it was all delicious.
Now, I am not a vegetarian and I never thought I could stuff my face full of hummus and pasty side dishes for a satisfying meal, but this place makes it easy. So much flavor in such simple food. They have great specials and mix and match combo plates too. And friendly service on top of that.
Ah... Hummus Place definitely gets props for its open air atmosphere. Sharing the street with many bars in this upbeat part of Greenwich, Hummus Place feels much like a true ethnic cafe with open doors and people walking in and out. But it's clean and well kept, which is a plus.
The food is simple, good, and authentic. And it's cheap, and you can't go wrong with that. I got the $9 appetizer sampler to see what they could scrounge up for me to munch on. I tried the roasted eggplant with tahini, hummus with fava beans, and the yogurt with olive oil.
Roasted eggplant is nice creamy eggplant topped off with a creamy salty tahini sauce. Their hummus is nice, flavorful, and it comes with assorted toppings. The one with fava beans is dark, savory, and hearty. Their yogurt is nice a tangy with a nice texture from the olive oil on top.
Definitely one of the best choices around for solid, cheap Mediterranean. It won't disappoint, and it won't break your bank. Plus you get a little feel for real authentic dining.
Some of the best hummus I've had, with a cool atmosphere, outdoor seating, pleasant service and low prices.
We got the falafel, with yummy sauces, hummus with sauteed mushrooms- delish!, hummus with tahini, whole wheat pita bread and mint lemonade. All yummy, but beware, you're consuming beans, bread and fat in this meal, we totally felt like we had hangovers when we finished- had a slight case of the 'itis that required a 2 hour nap. Next time, we're coming here for a snack and sharing a single order.
For summer reading I present Mr Charles DIckens:
"It was the best of times..it was the worst of times..."
Best-just moved to the west village and so many new places to eat/yelp.
Worst--just moved to the west village--deposits-awaiting deposit refunds-expenses etc. I dont like watching my money!
Best-Who couldnt love a cheap eat--Hummus place-you can eat like a king-drink-app-main-tip for under $20!!
Worst-It is only a few blocks away-how much hummus can one eat!! Very small menu-like 12 items.
Best-The food is mighty tasty. Not everything is a home-run. But the standouts noted in other reviews are mighty tasty.
Worst-Sorry to say-and I am far from an expert-I have had better hummus before at one or two other spots.
Best--great staff-cute decor-nice homey feel for a small space.
Worst-it is a small space-seats 15-and gets crowded.
And for the Dickens cliff notes
Great cheap eat-solid-cute-extraordinary-I dont think so-but damned good to have as a neighbor!
I remember feasting at the location on the UWS so i hoped to duplicate the experience downtown, but I was disappointed. The hummus is bland.....is well made and creamy but still kinda tasteless. I love the pita, the chopped salad is simple and nice. THe two israel girls who waited tables were a pleasure to deal with. It's cash only, they don't serve falafel, but its cheap and healthyish. I tried the shakshuka for the first time here, and it reminded me of the version I had in Israel. I'll be back for that, but not for the namesake.
The place lives up to its reputation. I met some people over at Counter(see review) and was picking up some food to cure the hunger. I ordered the hummus with mushrooms-very delicious with a kind of bitterness at the end, the eggplant-awesome, falafel-decent, white and wheat pita. While waiting, I talked to a fellow customer about her decisions between physical therapy and nutrition, then the host got involved and we talked about his upcoming project possibly being a romance film. Overall, a great visit.
This 'place' is endorsed by Willis.
I love hummus, and ... wow. This is close to hummus perfection. Yum.
My boyfriend and I came here after I finished a looooong, frustrating day at work. Instead of mopping up my beat-up emotions and listening to my endless string of complaints... we went for Israeli comfort food: warm, thick, silky hummus with wheat pita bread.
Now, I have a soft spot for Mediterranean food... but even my boyfriend, who thinks hummus is "OK" really liked the hummus here. We shared a 3-hummus appetizer sampler ($8) with the hummus fava (fava beans, tahini, olive oil, spices), hummus masabacha (chickpeas, olive oil, spices), and mushroom hummus. The base hummus was the same for all three, but what differed was the center filling. So good! Apparently my boyfriend fell in love with while watching me eat! This might work for you, too!
Even though the plates seemed small, the hummus was deceptively filling. Perhaps it was all the olive oil (and there's a lot) over each hummus plate. I know it wasn't the complimentary pickled olives, or the cilantro-based hot sauce (which is Perfect) that filled me up.
Wow. Even writing this review is making me happy thinking about the food. If you like hummus-- you gotta try this!
A few things to note:
Pita bread costs extra (I think it's 75 cents a piece)
The house red wine is Israeli and the taste isn't for everyone
The service was pretty good, but this location is quite small. It's probably not great for large parties.
I have a thing for mushrooms, and Hummus Place has satiated my lust for fungus.
I never noticed this restaurant before, but today, on my lazy post work walk through Manhattan it finally caught my eye and I wandered in.
The space is somewhat congested. I sat down, and maybe about 15 other people came and tried to have a seat but they were DENIED! It filled up really fast.
House wine is pretty meh, or basic for those who don't speak sounds.
Reasons why I have found my new grub spot, starting NOW.
1. This ish is daaaaamn cheap. This is definitely a "three days before pay day and no money" place. Wine + hummus = 15 dollars, or less. Nice.
2. The portion is perfect. I ate at 7, and I don't plan on eating another bite of food tonight.
3.This ain't yer Pathmark hummus. I've never had homemade hummus before, but I'm almost certain that this is what it tastes like.
4. The loud banging noise of the hummus machine isn't the least annoying. Well, perhaps a little.
5. I like eating food while being squished shoulder to shoulder with other patrons. It's cozy.
6. The ingredients are fresh, and they did not skimp on the spices, seasoning, and the mushrooms were plump and fat and plentiful. The egg on top added a yummy creaminess that only heaven could create.
The only objection I have about Hummus Place, is that little jar of green ..cough...cough.."hot sauce", which lacked the adjective hot completely.
Other than that.... me likey.
Outstanding Mideastern food, fresh and delicious and the prices are great to boot.
We got hummus & tehina, wheat pita and quinoa tabouli. For dessert we had kataif. In general all were extremely good and the quality was tip top.
The hummus was one of the best I've tasted in NY since I returned from living in the Mideast. Very flavorful and well seasoned. The pita was served hot and fresh. What more can you ask for at a hummus joint?
The dessert was out of this world and I'm not really a dessert guy. I would highly recommend it, and I would definitely recommend the place for a quick fix of Mideastern eats.
Oh Hummus Place, how I love thee.
Really, you guys are so damn tasty.
During a short stint in London, my friends and I frequented a chain, Hummus Bros., which features hummus plates with an array of toppings. After my few months there, I stumbled back to New York City with bleary-eyed hummus withdrawals.
And then...I was introduced to Hummus Place! It has since then converted me into a loyal, foaming-at-the-mouth disciple. Their hummus is perfection--smooth, creamy...I just want to swirl in it! Also, Hummus Place's shakshuka is to DIE FOR. My taste buds are satiated just by its rich aroma of tomato and spices.
For dessert, try the kadaif--thin noodles with a sugary crispiness. It may sound strange, but trust me, they're extremely yummy! I recommend that you split it with a friend or a lovely date; it's quite large and pretty daunting after the super-sized entrees.
Hummus Place is perfect after a bad day of falling into one too many puddles...or when you're starving with a near-empty bank account.
The one con: I wouldn't recommend taking large groups here. The place is pretty small and can feel cramped fast. Four hungry diners is the maximum number that I would suggest.
I went through an extreme hummus phase upon entering undergraduate education---discover, love, promote, and then many years later disinterest. Now a days, I rather just get a burger.
But Hummus Place has brought me back. I never had hummus this awesome back in those days.
The fava hummus dish is the perfect balance of nutty, soft, spicy, wholesome, and creamy. With striking freshness, this is hummus of the gods. A must eat for all New Yorkers!
I feel like I really shouldn't like this place as much as I do. However, I get regular cravings for the mushroom hummus ($7.95). It's the fluffiest, creamiest hummus I've ever had (nothing like the stiff chunks you get at the grocery store) topped with a warm mushroom onion stew and olive oil.
I've also tried the hummus masabacha ($5.95), which is essentially plain hummus topped with chickpeas, olive oil and spices, and the shakshuka (a warm tomato/bell pepper stew topped with two eggs and served in a skillet) with halumi cheese ($8.95, $2 less if you don't get cheese), but much prefer the mushroom hummus.
The pita bread is fluffy and served warm--you can choose white or wheat. You get one large piece with each order of hummus and two with the shakshuka.
My only complaints are that extra pitas cost $0.75 and that the lemonade was really watery. But those are pretty minor things, really.
They have random drinks (a friend once ordered the mojito) as well as desserts, but I'm always too tempted by the offer of nearby ice cream (Cones!) to order anything here.
Tip: There's a recipe for shakshuka on Hummus Place's website, if you want to make it at home.
the hummus at hummus place is, by far, my favourite hummus in the city. it's good AND good for you, and it doesn't strain my pathetic art student budget, either. the restaurant itself is nicely decorated, and the wait staff are very friendly. the sangria is also really good :)
Shaksuka, I love tomatoes! Rating solely based on the food.
My first time here... was an alright experience. Maybe we came on an off night... waitress, hello? Are you done chatting it up yet? The whole time we were there and needed some service, we felt like we were interrupting them. Sorry to interrupt dude!
I love tomatoes. I really, really love tomatoes. But the bottom of my dish was burnt. Which meant some of my tomato was burnt. And I don't mean terrible burnt, but I don't mean mmm delicious bbq burnt either. I'm talking about the oh-no I'm going to get cancer and this is totally not worth it burnt. blah. Other than that, if it wasn't for the burnt taste every now and then, I'm sure it would have been quite a fabulous meal.
The bread was FANTASTIC though. The hummus was also good. The stuff hiding in the middle of the hummus mmm.
I like eggs. =p The pickles good, olives dry.
I hate these guys.
I really do.
I used to make the best hummus on the planet.
My grandmother used to make the best dolma on the planet.
Not anymore.
Thanks to these guys and their insanely delicious hummus, I am now the creator of the 2nd best hummus on the planet.
And sorry nana, your dolma also drops in the rankings.
Highly suggest stopping by here for some hummus and mint tea. The hot sauce they offer is deceptively spicy in such a good way.
Second.
I was mugged last Sunday. Quite possibly my worst New York experience to date. After the crying, anger and eventual acceptance of the situation (ok, all 7 stages of grief were briefly visited), accompanied by plenty of hugs from the best friend, we realized we hadn't eaten in 10+ hours. What do I crave when in need of serious comfort? Hummus Place.
This place is perfect in its simplicity. The name says it all -- they have perfected the art of hummus. The menu is uncomplicated (they do a few things incredibly well), the staff is attentive and friendly, the decor is simple yet charming, and I love the idea of instant gratification (food within 5 minutes of sitting down).
The Hummus Masabacha is beyond delicious -- served warm with whole chick peas, very fruity olive oil and this fabulous green gremolada (or is it more of a pesto?). Even better with toasted pine nuts. Two other total standouts are the Israeli pickles (ask for extra -- you're going to want them) and the whole wheat pita.
Hummus Place has my kind of comfort food -- it leaves me incredibly full (but not a greasy / gross full), satisfied and with a big smile of my face. It's also not expensive at all (although my friend picked up the bill this time, as I was wallet-less). Yum, yum, yum.
It's pretty mediocre but it adds variety to your $5 kati roll from next door. YUM!
I randomly drop by after class for some take out. I saw the place on Yelp, but was skeptical about really how amazing the place could be. I really like meat and it's hard to me to really enjoy vegetarian food.
I ordered the Hummus Fava. It comes with a large portion of hummus (with fava beans and sliced hard boiled egg), two large pieces of whole wheat pita, a few olives, a banana pepper, pickle, and a tasty hot sauce. Make sure to ask for the hot sauce because they will not give it to you otherwise.
The portion is really good for $6.50 (with tax). I liked having the hard boiled egg in there. I'm also one of those people that's really testy about proportions of what you dip into and what you dip with. I obviously prefer having more of what you dip into, just in case and Hummus Place doesn't disappoint.
I would suggest not getting the "lunch special" where you get an extra appetizer with your hummus. All I got extra was a sliver of eggplant for a few dollars more. They have changed it so they now have a $10 minimum so watch out.
The best hummus I've had. The pita and little additions are icing on top. Even meat lovers will love this.
Yummy and unique! This is not your same-old, same old!
Long live Hummus! I had the tomato-based hummus with two eggs that was an incredible wow effect. The seats were comfy and the service was clean, unique and quick.
The only improvement would be to expand their menu, it's very small.
Really cheap, really good hummus. This is a great place for a quick snack before checking out the film forum.
Mm... Falafel and Hummus. What a perfect combination. But wait... They don't have falafel!!!
I sat down with a friend here, ready to order the exact thing I had had 3 days earlier at their Upper West Side location: falafel, hummus, and salad. After spending a minute looking the menu, I couldn't find it and ask the waitress.
Me: Do you have falafel?
Her: No.
Me: But your other restaurant does...
Her: Correct.
Me: We need another minute to decide.
Me: (gets up and leaves)
I really needed something more than hummus and pita to get me through the day and I don't eat eggs, so that put a damper on the Shakshuka. I felt bad for our waitress and left $2 for eating the pickles, but had to leave.
The place gets 2 stars because if the hummus is anything like it is at their other locations, it's good. Too bad they don't have the falafel I wanted.
We are a herbivore-omnivore couple who both love this place. The hummus is the perfect consistency - neither too thick nor creamy but somewhere in-between. Despite the restaurant name, the real standout is the shakshuka, an Israeli stew of tomatoes, peppers, onions and eggs. Make sure to order the version with haloumi.
As the owners and servers are particularly nice, Hummous Place is always a pleasurable dining experience.
WOW! Since I had hummus here, I don't feel like having hummus anywhere else because I am confident it cant be as good as this! Hummus with Tahini, Hummus with mushrooms, falafel are all yummy and fresh. A special mention of the green hot sauce - its unbelievably delicious! Thumbs up to the atmosphere and quick service as well.
I have been going to the E. Village location for years. Love it. When I was just a simple girl with no money and no chaperones or suiters, I used to come here to eat a crust of bread with hummus.
The pickles and hot pepperocini are nice little ditties too.
It's cheap, quick, and you can bring friends who want a light bite before drinkies.
It is great for what it is. Light Bites is all they say they are and they bring it.
Is it good for kids? Well, I usually don't want to be anywhere a kid is... so no... not good for kids.
Normally, I'm not a fan of hippie food, but I gotta say, I really enjoyed my first visit here. (*caveat* yes, I realize that hummus is middle eastern, but for some reason, the main clientele seemed to be granola eating, canvas bag toting, birkenstock wearing vegan hippies)
The hummus was smooth, the pickles crisp, and mojito cheap. I left feeling light and healthy; it made for a perfect snack.
We just happened to be walking past and we saw this place. We werent starving but needed a little something to hold us over till dinner.
We had one the appetizer combo. It came with two appetizers and a hummus for 8 bucks. We added a couple of whole wheat pitas and a mint iced tea. It was the perfect snack! If you happen to walking by one of their 4 locations, take a load off and grab a snack or a drink!
Excellent little place for a tasty, healthy and relatively inexpensive lunch in the village!
