Israeli spot for hummus, pita & salads. Bright, industrial eat-in/take-out spot for varieties of hummus, fresh pita & Middle Eastern salads.
Definitely a great little spot for a quick lunch, wasn't crazy about the bench seating, but the beet salad that came with the hummus bowl was amazing! The pita bread was super soft and tasty, I got the meatball hummus bowl, the meatballs were pretty tasty, but it was a LOT of hummus in there. If you're hungry enough ordering an extra pita would finish it off otherwise I ended up throwing a decent amount out in the trash. Overall definitely a spot worth trying, and perhaps a spot I'd come back to if I'm in the area!
Super creamy hummus. The salad was crunchy, vinegary, balanced. Got the squash and hazelnut hummus. Nice texture. The squash was a bit salty tho. Had cucumbers as a side instead of pita bread ? #gluten-free life. And the lemonanna which had strawberry blended in. That was dreamy.
Fantastic hummus and pita breads. Shocking prices. Truly some of the best and most authentic hummus we’ve had outside of Israel/ME. Fresh, no overpowering garlic, smooth and super delicious. Had ours with pine nuts and beef - all great. Pita bread was amazing too. What’s really disappointing is the hugeeee markup in price. Hummus is a very inexpensive food, and the prices here were eye watering. Each bowl comes with a small salad and a SINGLE pita bread, after tax and service this was $20 per person! An extra pita cost more too, though thankfully the staff actually gave us one kindly for free. $40 for 2 bowls of basic hummus is not acceptable and is expensive even by NYC/Dubai standards, let alone Philadelphia. Should be less than half the price in my opinion.
Stopped by for a light lunch while visiting Philadelphia. It wasn't crowded, so was able to walk right up and place my order. Ordered the Beef Pinenut Hummus platter with an egg, salad, and a Lemonana drink. It was a nice day, so sat at one of the outdoor tables outside. Order was ready within 5 minutes and delivered to my table. Hummus was very good with a nice creamy taste. Ingredients were very fresh and was plated nicely. Was sure to scoop a little bit of every ingredient on each bite as they all went well together. Both the salad and Lemonana were equally as good. All the ingredients in the salad were fresh and crispy. The Lemonana was very refreshing. Great place to come for some good, authentic Hummus.
A trip to Philly is incomplete without Dizengoff! That's how much I love their hummus. It's super creamy and the pita bread is also so soft. The salad compliments the hummus very well. All of their hummus dishes comes with a side of pickles, a salad, and a pita. You can buy an extra pita for $1, which I recommend especially when sharing. Their lemonana drink is also very refreshing. Don't forget to request for the red and green spicy sauces on the side.
November 2022: Still the best hummus. Now, if Dizengoff can come to Boston. November 2021: The best hummus I have ever eaten in my life — comparable to what I ate at Zahav. Smooth, creamy, and flavorful. The beet salad and a pita bread comes with the dish. There weren’t any utensils packed in the bag, so make a note to ask the employees for those items.
This is the best hummus I've ever eaten hands down. It's a small menu that changes frequently. The pita is cooked in a brick oven fresh everyday and is always served hot. They used to have one in Chelsea market Manhattan but for some reason it closed down 5 years ago. Thank God they still have one open in Philadelphia. The only downside to this place is that it ruins all other hummus for you.
This small chain used to be good. Now days, the hospitality is out of the window and all they seem to care about is the next plastic bowl and paper bag delivery. The menu has shrunk to include only basic of the basic, no meat hummus, no Shakshuka, no salads other than beets, and only cold food. Even then the portion is super small and embarrassing.
