If you're in the mood for a quick lunch around the Philly area, stop by Dizengoff for a healthy option! You can find one of the creamiest hummuses in all of Philly here, and they serve it with Tehina, some olive oil, and some paprika on top! The platter also comes with a freshly baked pita bread that was super nice and fluffy and well seasoned . This obviously paired perfectly with the hummus dip! And then it also comes served with a really refreshing Israeli salad consisting of pickled vegetables! It balanced the entire meal perfectly! This meal was definitely enough to share between two people if you wanted a snack as well! Definitely one of the best and affordable bites in the Philly area! read more

The hummus is unlike any hummus you'll ever have (Zahav). And once you have it, you won't like any other hummus, so it's a problem. No hummus pics here. Have it, and have it again. I also attended a popup where there was a special item called Jerusalem Mixed Grill - turkey breast, chicken hearts, and a ton of other stuff. I'd give it 4 stars, simply because I felt it was a tad over salted (and the accompanying chips were extra salty as well). But, have the hummus. read more

Dizengoff - Special popup item - Jerusalem Mixed Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The hummus and lemonade drink (this month the flavor was mixed with blueberry) were so delicious. The hummus was so incredibly smooth. I took one star off for the service. Even though they were friendly, it took about 5 minutes to even be noticed. Granted, they were completing a large catering order. They saw us walk in and wait at the counter, but didn't acknowledge us for several minutes. A quick "hey we will just be a few minutes" would have been appreciated. The food is so good though, I'll definitely return when I'm back in Philly. read more

Wow. Why can't all Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants be this good? Dizengoff is an Israeli restaurant with *the* best hummus I've had to date, anywhere, and probably the best pita too. This place is simply outstanding. Stop reading and go. Now. (After writing over 3,400 Yelp reviews over the past 11+ years, I've never written that before.) This is a small fast-casual restaurant that opened in Center City in 2014. A second location opened inside the Whole Foods behind the Rodin Museum in 2016. It's named after Dizengoff Street, a major street in Tel Aviv (the street, in turn, is named after the first mayor of Tel Aviv). We showed up on a Saturday around 12:45pm. All seats inside were taken. Then again, there are only about 15-20 seats inside. We got lucky and scored some seats at the communal table shortly after placing our order. The line to order was short, but there was a steady stream of customers the entire time we were there (we left by 1:30pm). Staff keeps the line moving. This place is popular and does good business. It's a well-oiled machine. There are four small umbrella-covered tables outside on the sidewalk, but the weather was so hot that no one was sitting at them. This is a trendy spot with a sort of hipstery vibe. Dizengoff's logo is bright pink and the front door frame and patio furniture are a bold orange color. The storefront has a retractable door that presumably cranks open when the weather is nice. Inside, there's an open kitchen featuring a Wood Stove brand oven where all the fresh, scratch-made pitas are baked. The menu is short and simple. They serve hummus in five different varieties/toppings -- tehina, chicken, pepper, cucumber, and cauliflower -- priced at $10-13 each. All menu prices include tax. I think the food is affordable especially when you consider its quality and deliciousness. Each order of hummus includes fresh-baked pita and two sides, one of which is a Jerusalem salad with pickle, and the other a surprise (well, to us they were). Most Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants serve hummus as an appetizer or side, but here it's an entree and it's good. You can make small additions to any hummus order such as extra pita ($1), egg ($1), and pita chips ($3) and you can add any topping on the side. In addition, they offer Za'atar roasted chicken dinners to-go ($36) and shakshuka, a North African dish made with eggs poached in a tomato-chili pepper sauce, on Sundays. Alcoholic beverages (beer, white wine, rose) are available for $4-8 each and they sell a frozen lemonana synonymous to, I think, the Middle Eastern limonana drink which is a frozen mint lemonade ($4 without booze, $8 with). Happy hour runs daily, 6-8pm. We ordered one hummus with tehina and egg ($10 + $1 = $11) and one hummus with chicken ($13). Both orders were phenomenal. Along with the pita and Jerusalem salads with pickles mentioned above, the hummus with tehina and egg came with a marinated cucumber side salad and the hummus with chicken came with a roasted red pepper side salad. We noticed these sides were the same as the "cucumber" and "pepper" hummus toppings listed on the menu. I'm not sure how they decided which ones we'd get (they didn't ask us), but we liked the variety and enjoyed them both. They were flavorful and delicious. Each order was served on its on tray. The arrangement of the dishes and the presentation of each individual dish was colorful and beautiful. The food tasted as good as it looked: excellent all around. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and high quality. The hummus was super smooth, creamy, and delectable. It had an extra bit of tehina (same as tahini or toasted ground sesame seeds) flavor. Both the hummus with tehina and egg and the hummus with chicken were nicely seasoned and packed with mouthwatering flavor. The jammy soft-boiled egg was cooked perfectly. The chicken was tasty; it didn't overpower the hummus and complemented it well. The pita was served hot/warm, each serving in its own paper sleeve. The pita had exited the oven just minutes (seconds?) before being served to us. They were soft and pillowy and were appetizingly charred/toasted on the outside. So good. I also had a frozen lemonana ($4). It was tart and refreshing. I think it's worth getting and perfect for hot summer days. It's like a minty lemonade slushy. Not only was the food great, but the service was too. We didn't get his name, but the cashier who served us was very friendly and helpful. White guy, curly hair, glasses, pink Dizengoff shirt. The young blonde girl busing tables was nice and sweet too. When it comes to taste, price, and service, Dizengoff is a must-try restaurant in Philly, in my opinion. read more

Sababa!! I have to admit, the Limonana was not as good as last time, more watered down and less intense. HOWEVER, the choice of hummus flavors were even more delicious today. I got the beet hazelnut hummus. Super delicious combo. As I was waiting for them to make it, I eyed the turnips that I had passed over for the beet hazelnut choice. I asked the young woman getting my order ready if it would be possible to try one turnip so I would know for next time if I should order it. Would you believe She said they don't have them very often and she didn't want me to miss out, so she gave me a whole container of them complementary on the side? And she didn't even know I am a big Solomonov fan who has been coveting going to Zahav And haven't had the opportunity yet. They were so freaking delicious! The beet hazelnut hummus was so yum, and to have the turnips AND cuke/cabbage/tomato salad on the side with the amazing pita was "Eser" (10 out of 10). No line on a hot Sunday. And I enjoyed the Limonana even if it wasn't as life changing as on Friday. read more

10/10 been coming here for years I fly in from CA and have to make a stop by here. Best hummus I've had outside Israel by far

I love hummus! To me, it's one of the most versatile dishes in the world. It tastes great on, over, around and down on any food in any kitchen. In all of my travels Tel Aviv stood out in having the best hummus internationally. Los Angeles had the best hummus domestically; I used the word "had". Today at Dizengoff Restaurant here in Philadelphia I had three simply divine hummus('s): * Hummus Tehina There classic hummus garnished with green tehina, smoked paprika, parsley and olive oil. Served with fresh pita, chopped salad and pickles. * Hummus with Veggie Hummus tehina garnished with your choice of veggie toppings. Served with fresh pita, chopped salad and pickles. * Hummus with Meat Hummus tehina garnished with your choice of meat topping. Served with fresh pita, chopped salad and pickles. All three - Winner / Winner / Winner Dizengoff is small and quaint. Their kitchen is working on all cylinders as this place is obviously busy. Our lunch here today was lovely and I am positive, I will be back. read more

We came here for dessert. We had the vegan ice cream sandwiches which were delicious and didn't taste non dairy. We also had the knafe which was outstanding and very well priced at $9 for a portion that was massive. Can't wait to try the food! read more

Thank you fellow Yelpers! This is certainly one of those spots I would have missed had it not been for your reviews. This was such a fun experience! 1.) they were shelling chickpeas while we were there - talk about fresh and made from scratch! 2.) I love Israeli food as it is but I especially appreciated their format of making the hummus the central focus of the meal with variations being how you topped the hummus (for example, eggplant, cauliflower, chicken almond, etc.). 3.) Don't leave without ordering the frozen mint lemonade 4.) The staff (possibly owners?) were extremely friendly and interactive. I'd give them five stars alone for the great customer service and answering all of my questions. 5.) The pita chips and the accompanying seasoning are so good. You're in for a treat. read more

Excellent experience all around. We sat at the bar today and the bartender was super nice and helpful. We had the hummus sampler, the chicken schnitzel platter and fries. Oh and two frozen lemonada drinks! Everything tasted delicious and fresh. The presentation was lovely too. Only negative was the space was kind of hot. I'm not sure if they left the front door open or not but it would have been great if it the room was cooler. Nevertheless, I will be back again! read more

Always the best hummus ever! Got a sabich, as I had been craving that. They didn't disappoint. Yum!

It's fun Mediterranean fast food inspired but high quality. If you love hummus this is the place for you. The staff is very kind even if you need to rest for a moment on there outside seating they are very kind about it. The hummus is real deal and the toppings are very creative and fun! You'll be stuffed so try to reserve half of what ever you ordered to take home to prevent feeling too full (I made that mistake), I'm hungry just remembering the experience. read more

The food was good to great not stellar. The service very good. I recommend visiting. Love the Israeli cooking and plan to go back to try other dishes. The duck salad could have used more duck and the latkes were interesting. read more

Let me tell you, this is the smoothest hummus you'll ever eat in your entire life. It is creamy and decadent and the flavor just melts in your mouth. I got the brisket on top and the meat was flavorful and tender, it perfectly balanced the creamy flavor of the hummus. It comes with one pita, I ordered an extra pita because of how fresh they are. I was not disappointed. Even the beet salad was good. I'm not a fan of beets, but I ate almost the whole thing. It added a nice acidity that cut the richness of the meat and hummus. The seating is very limited inside the place, so you might need to take the order to go. Rittenhouse square is very close by so it's a perfect location to enjoy your meal. I will be back in the future! read more

We decided to give Dizengoff a try after a 2nd failed attempt to try the Octopus Falafel truck for lunch (if anyone knows of his current whereabouts - hmu!) and my expectations were completely exceeded. Ordering was easy and the simplicity of the menu was nice given that it was our first time here. I asked the guy taking our order his thoughts on the chicken skin vs eggplant and almond hummus and he immediately recommended the eggplant - love the confidence!! We ordered the eggplant and almond with an egg and extra pita. Sooo delicious. I don't even like hummus, but I could not get enough of this creamy goodness. One order was plenty for two hungry people. Definitely needed the 2nd pita, but the egg while delicious, I could do without next time. read more

Whenever I'm in Philly, Dizengoff is ALWAYS on my list to eat. Everything is amazing but obviously the hummus is the star of the show. I love trying their daily special, my favorites being the chicken skin and the carrot. But I haven't tried a flavor I haven't liked. The hummus portions are fairly large so you'll definitely want to order extra pita. I also love the sides! This is pretty filling so I almost always have it as a meal of its own and it always delivers. read more

I'd eaten at Zahav the night before and enjoyed their traditional tahini hummus so much that I came here the next day to pick up a Beef Shallot Hummus ($14) with an added haminado egg ($1). I'd already had lunch and meant to just have part of this as a snack and save the rest for later, but ended up devouring the whole bowl within minutes. The hummus was predictably excellent -- Dizengoff has a very limited rotating menu and dedicates itself to a few hummus bowl options, but what it does it does very well. For this meat option, the beef was perfectly spiced, the sliced egg was well-marinated (if a little less flavorful than the Chinese tea eggs I'm used to), and the warm fluffy pita was perfect for sopping up every last bit of hummus. Nothing too elaborate, but even the simplest hummus bowls here are reliably satisfying and delicious. Just don't expect to find parking in this area right by Rittenhouse Square read more

Have been hearing about this place for years and finally found my way there and it definitely lived up to the name! So yummy!! My only complaint is that there wasn't that much chicken. That said, there was SO much hummus that I would definitely recommend paying the $1 to add an extra piece of pita. The flavors were fabulous, service was quick and portion (besides chicken) was great! Would definitely go back read more

Not sure if I should admit to 5 stars for Turkish hummus that was at least 50% perfectly browned butter. I should have shared it with others. Schnitzel was crispy and topped with cool pickled vegetables. read more

My partner and I got a reservation just when Dizengoff reopened a month or so ago as a full-service restaurant. I had missed the hummus (but Goldie was a perfectly good back up), and we couldn't have predicted how amazing the newly-imagined Dizengoff would be. While I hope they reintroduce their take-out counter for a quick lunch, the dinner was one of our favorites. The roast chicken is up there in my top ten of all time. It's crusted with Za'atar and huge slivers of garlic, which my partner loved. We split that, hummus, "cigars" which are crispy appetizers and the spiked lemonata. Everything was delicious. The staff was clearly excited to be there for the new concept and enthusiastically recommended things without being overbearing. It was every bit as good (if less fancy) than Zahav and much more affordable for dinner. This will be our new pre-theatre spot, or happy hour hummus and drinks on a hot summer day... I'm already looking forward to a return visit! read more

Dizengoff has changed my perception of how good hummus can be forever. Having really first really enjoyed hummus at Zahav (I've tried Sabra and other store packaged ones in the past, not the same), I was looking forward to trying the hummus here as a result of hearing about the connection between the two restaurants. It certainly did not disappoint. They seem to rotate the offerings (other than the plain), each time I've walked in the offerings have varied, never the same. I've basically left it up to whoever has behind the counter to order whatever they felt was the special for the day. Regardless of which version you choose the hummus is the same, they just layer what veggie (eggplant, corn, are some of the ones I've tried) or meat (chicken) option you choose. With each hummus, you will also get a side of pickled veggies and a pita bread to dip. As soon as you place your order they started putting it together in a flash, within 5 minutes or so you should have your order. When it is fresh, with the bread hot right out of the oven, it's the best. The hummus is sooooo creamy and flavored by whatever you put on top. Nothing I've tried elsewhere has topped this. Don't wait to dig in. Now it is a bit more expensive than hummus elsewhere but this is the best hummus you'll ever have (Definitely the best I've ever had). They've got hummus making down for sure. Now if I can only pronounce the name of the place without tripping myself up,..... Oh and they aren't open too late, they close at 7pm. read more

We were looking for a delisous and healthy snack so we came acrosss Dizengoff. We ordered their Baked Pita & Israeli hummus. Nothing beats a freak baked Pita bread, it was soft and chewy. Then dipping it in the creamy Hummus giving that tangy, and nutty flavor with a hint of garlic. Overall, we love Pita and Hummus any time of the day. read more

Not only do the lovely people at Dizengoff make the best hummus on the planet, they were kind enough to defer our recent home delivery order by a few hours when we had a vet emergency with one of our cats (he's fine now) and also comped us their awesome avocado + peanut hummus and wrote us this kind note. Also pictured, their very tasty ground lamb hummus + pinenut and asparagus + hazelnut hummus. Thank you very much, guys. read more

It confused me how small the menu is but I now understand they have a specialty and they do that REALLY well. I loved the fennel and pine nut hummus but actually I think the hummus on it own was delicious enough to not need all the topping. As a lover of pickles, the salad was so tasty too. Knocking off a star for all the PLASTIC. Everything in plastic even when eating in. Not acceptable in 2022! What's the point in your "compostable" forks if everything else is polypropylene. AND nowhere to recycle it in store. SHAMEFUL. read more

Dizengoff is yet another cooknsolo classic. What's not to love about a bowl of the warm, smooth hummus with unique flavor bomb toppings, served aside a soft and pillowy pita with which to dip? The meal is large and fills you up. A but on the expensive side for a work lunch, but I love it every once in awhile for a treat. read more

I came to this place off a recommendation from my boyfriend. He suggested the hummus that comes with chicken. I didn't expect to see the chicken as big pieces within the hummus! It also came with a side of warm pita and a small thing of beets. I was skeptical that this would fill me, im so used to having hummus as just a side to supplement a dish. But boy, I was wrong. The hummus was so rich and heavy (in a good way) that I didn't find myself needing more. It was a nice quick, healthy lunch! read more

We are on a mission to visit all of Michael Solomonov restaurants and Dizengoff was next on our list. Compared to his other restaurants, this is quick service and not sit down. We visited the location on Samson Street, which had a counter for ordering and a few tables to eat at. The staple of their menu is hummus and pita. They offer a variety of hummuses that rotate regularly. We opted for the hummus topped with avocado and the hummus topped with asparagus. Both were delicious with a solid foundation of the classic tehina hummus and a freshly made pita. read more

This was great. I don't think the hummus was quite as other-worldly as it is at Zahav, but still excellent, and among the best I've had in New York. First visit, we got: - Sabich hummus, with eggplant, egg, amba - Ground beef hummus, with kidney bean and onion - Shakshuka - Three salatim (pickled beets and turnips, carrots with harissa, and yemenite pickles) I thought all of it was excellent, and I'll definitely be back to try more variations of the hummus . read more

Dizengoff is a great food experience!! They have a variety of appetizers and mezzes that are delicious. You could make a whole meal from just that section of the menu. In the main courses, we tried the chicken, the lamb neck and one of the fish dishes. All very good. If I had to rate them, I would say the chicken and the fish best, the lamb neck second. In summary, you should definitely go for an enjoyable and unique dinner. read more

Went last night with my daughter. We sat at the bar and ordered cocktails. Jasper and Sean are masters at crafting amazing cocktails. Jasper recommend a drink called " all the way in" it is a Turkish coffee martini. It puts all coffee/espresso martini's in the dust. Jasper chose some great items off the menu for us to try. The tuna boreka was fantastic, we had a hummus dish that I couldn't stop dipping into, and then we split the chicken schnitzel. The chicken schnitzel is so tasty. It has a little kick to it which is great, and it is as big as the plate. We ate half and had enough to take home for lunch for today. Then finally the little ice cream sandwiches. It was such a good night. Rob, the manager was so nice and friendly. We arrived at five and when we left the restaurant was full, so I recommend you make reservations. The new decor looks very nice and up beat. You will be happy that you went, the entire staff is friendly and accommodating. read more

I went to the Franklin Table branch so I can't speak for the actual restaurant itself however the food is amazing! The pita came out warm and was super fluffy -- also quite a large pita ! I ordered the eggplant hummus and it was so good. The hummus was incredibly creamy and the eggplant added just the right amount of zing to the nutty hummus. The side salad also delivered just the right amount of crunch and freshness to a meal that could seem too rich. Overall, a great casual spot to go for lunch! Would highly recommend! read more
