I spent unexpected time in Englewood, New Jersey and discovered Hummus Elite. The best thing produced in NJ! Delicious food, friendly staff.

Best place for hummus and falafel in nj ,I am don't miss the pleasure any that I am crossing the bridge to new Jersey,the hummus is super fresh as well the falafel,this people know how to do it!!! read more

My relentless search for a decent hummus joint in Manhattan usually ends in disappointment, so based on a NJ friend's recommendation I tried Hummus Elite. Getting to Englewood from Manhattan was not too bad and it was well worth it. The falafel is few levels above anything I tried before, even in Israel. The pitas are so fluffy that they put anything else that carries the name "pita" and is served in Manhattan to shame. The crown jewel, the hummus itself, comes in a nice variety and is very close to the magic paste I remember from home. Being located in Englewood it will unfortunately not be a daily lunch place for Manhattanites, but a weekend visit is highly recommended. read more

Hummus Elite - Mediterranean Near Me - Englewood, New Jersey

The food is fresh, delicious, and as good as the best hummus places in Israel. Super friendly service. Bonus that it's kosher so we can take out home too. We'll definitely be back often! read more

Excellent service, fresh ingredients and a beautiful presentation! It is extremely cheap for the amount of food served. I went out with a group of three friends and we shared several dishes: Falafel, Roasted eggplant, Quinoa salad, Hummus masabacha and the Shakshuka platter, all served with fresh pitas. We loved everything and had plenty of leftovers. It is very casual and clean. They also deliver! I will definitely go back in the future. read more

Our favorite family dinner restaurant!! Super fresh, tasty and authentic. Buffalo chicken Caesar salad mmmmmm just the right amount of heat with freshly grilled chicken. And love their chumus! read more

I spontaneously walked into Hummus Elite for lunch one afternoon and I'm so glad that I "discovered" this spot! Ever since my first visit, I've been hooked and try to come here for lunch at least once a week. Their hummus is not "watery", has the perfect consistency and the flavor is on point. My favorite is the Hummus Fava - it's absolutely delicious. The hummus dishes come with two fluffy pita breads - you can choose wheat or white. If you like spice, make sure to ask for the hot sauce. Hands down, the best Hummus I've ever had in the States. As far as non hummus dishes, the Moroccan Cigars are a must try! They also have some pretty damn good french fries. read more

Best ever! The food is incredible! I love the moroccan cigars, the falafel/hummus plate, the sweet potatoes fried, the wheat pita, the homemade ice tea! Everything is very very good! The service is great and friendly! The owners are wonderful people! I just LOVE this place! read more

We recently catered my husband's 50th birthday party from Hummus Elite, and the food was amazing! All of our 50+ guests raved about the fresh Hummus, salads, kabobs, couscous, and the variety of other meats and sides. We hosted 8 Israelis and the LOVED the food. The owners are a pleasure to work with, and the quantity was enormous. In fact, we invited 15 people to watch the Oscars 2 days later, because we had so many delicious left-overs! I highly recommend Hummus Elite to anyone in Bergen County who wishes to enjoy fresh, flavorful, delicious food - prepared and presented well. We will certainly be returning customers! read more

*hummus (omg!!!!!!!!!!!! So good! I loved the texture, it was absolutely perfect; the flavor was good too and they used good olive oil most definitely; this is probably one of the best hummus I've ever had, but I really want to go back and try their other styles of hummus or perhaps a hummus platter; in addition, the pita bread they serve is so friggen good! what is up with that bread?! it's so thick and fluffy and chew, it's so perfect for sandwich or dipping) *Moraccan cigars with tahini dip (these were decent, it was fried soybeans wrapped in phyllo dough, I really loved the tahini sauce, they got it right with that, the cigars weren't anything fabulous though, nothing special and they were tiny!!!!!!!!!!!! they were like the size of my middle finger, regardless though it was worth trying) *falafel (the falafel were really green, which threw me off, I was expecting it to be more tan since it's chickpeas but they probably added a lot of fresh herbs; I liked it, not salty but I like Toro's better) *sabich sandwich (hummus, boiled egg, tahini, and roasted eggplant: this was really good, I liked the eggplant but wow was it super soft, the boiled egg added a great flavor to this sandwich but it was such a soft sandwich already with the hummus and eggplant, I felt that they should have added something crunchy because I can handle so much of that soft baby food texture before I feel nauseous, perhaps a crunchy veggie or nuts or something fried/crisp would have done the trick; regardless though, this sandwich was huge, filling, and very good) This place is Kosher; I think the quality of the food is great and the service is pretty good too, we dined al fresco which was nicer than inside because I think it's more or less an open kitchen and the smells are strong inside, I MUST go back to this place to try more of their food!! Kofta kebab sandwich (omg!!!!! I love this! the meat was perfect medium and so juicy, so much meat inside and fries and the chopped veggies, I got this with a whole wheat pita and it was so delicious and so filling!) read more

mmmmmm HUMMUS! we tried two types of hummus platters for two people...DELICIOUS! For the future though, one hummus platter is really for two people, we took A LOT of left over hummus home, not that I have a problem with that :) But the hummus was smooth and full of flavor! The pita was fresh and warm, right out of the oven! And it was VERY cheep. Always a plus :) read more

Great food, great service, and they deliver. The shawarma is great, I just had it last week. The kofta kebab is also delicious.

The falafel sandwich and the hummus are fresh, well seasoned and delicious. The prices are very reasonable, too, and the place is cute and cozy. I received better service when I ordered take-out, as opposed to eating in. The server/waiter/host seemed torn between bringing in the food, taking phone orders and ringing things up. Overall, the food is very good and I'll be back. read more

Having a place that specializes in Hummus is like a Pom Frites place offering the same item with multiple sauces...It quickly loses its luster. Hummus Elite and Hummus Masabacha, not much difference. Unfortunately, the hummus (plural) is more like wallpaper paste; as its preparation is not very authentic in texture. Roasted Eggplant Appetizer was a clear winner. The pita itself was light and fluffy. Felafel had a lot of seasoning in it; way too much for me. Conversely, Beyond Pita in Montclair does an outstanding felafel. Steak and Egg Sandwich had too much bread, the meat could have been sliced thinner so that it was chewable and I could not find much meat in it. Also, the sweet caramelized onions overtook any flavor that was in it. Steak fries were boring. Cowboy burger was a nice surprise as both the quality and quantity of the meat was very tasty and over took the whole meal as the show piece. read more

This place is pretty small inside but it's not a big deal. The food was good. The falafel is tasty but a bit too garlicky however the chicken kebab sandwich was great. They put fries inside the pita along with hummus, chicken and Israeli salad (which was to die for.) The staff seemed pretty nice and they were always available when we needed them. I'd give this place a shot if you want something different however I don't know if I'd go there for dinner since it seems the dinner menu is pricey for what they are serving. read more

On Wednesday 11/02/2011 I went out to dinner with a close friend to this restaurant after a very nice Spa session, so I was very relaxed and looking forward to a nice meal, specially Hummus and Falafel! Yummy... My friend and I shared 2 dishes, Hummus Fallafel $9.95 and Chicken Kebab $17.95, and she ordered a Diet Coke and I ordered a Peach Nectar and a glass of water. They did not have peach nectar so I order then Mango nectar, which was never brought to me. First we had the Hummus Fallafel and it was average, Fallafel was good (crispy outside and green and light inside) but the Hummus (from a place called Hummus Elite) I was expecting something out of this world but it was just average. Then came the Chicken Kebab, Oh boy! if that could be called chicken Kebab..... I am not going to lie, the marinate of the chicken was flavorful, but when I took them of the skewer I immediately saw that there were 2 pieces half cooked, so much that you could see pink flesh..... JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURE I POSTED. In addition, the couscous served with it not only did not have any flavor; it was so dry that it felt like you were chewing on sand. I asked the waiter to let the Chef know and he said "sure, I will be right back....." Nobody came by the table, no owner, chef or manager... not even the waiter. Even worse, he never came back again (and the place is very small, It is not like I was lost in the crowd) I had to get up to the register and ask the waiter for the bill. Once I asked for the bill, still no questions asked about raw chicken sitting on my plate. He just simply took my card and charged it, I thought since I did not eat the dish the least they would do was to take that price out, and also since I never got the Pear or Mango nectar I will not have to pay for it either.... Well I thought wrong, both the chicken Kebab and the Nectar were included on my bill. So I asked the waiter (I was still standing at the register), did you charge for the nectar? And he said "mmmmmm I think so I am not sure, but it's too late anyways because I charged the credit card already...." SERIOUSLY! I told him I never got it and he acted surprise.... And went in the back and said "do you want it now?" SERIOUSLY! No, I do not want it anymore, I just finished my half cooked meal. He got somebody to come and while we were waiting I asked if he told the chef about the chicken being raw and what he was going to do with it, and he said "Yes I told him, actually there he is" THE CHEF AND THE OWNER ARE THE SAME PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, I would expect that somebody like an employee would not give a crap about it.... but THE OWNER!?!?!?!?! So the owner proceeded to do something at the register without even acknowledging I was standing there and guess what he did??? He just gave me the cost of the nectar already charged on my card back as cash. Then he continued doing something in silence and then said: "and about the Chicken I am sorry but here is a 25% discount (never mind the discount was written on a piece of paper from the back of an order pad and he signed it....), I am also the owner so look this is my signature". Does he really think I am going to return to his crappy restaurant????? I left the coupon on the counter and left the place and WILL NEVER COME BACK..... If you want to catch Salmonella and have the owner give a crap about it! Then go to this place...... I do not want to even imagine what other disgusting and dirty manipulation of food is going on in the back. read more

I went there on Monday lunch time with my friend & my 10-month-old baby. After we ordered for our food, I was going to feed my baby before our dishes were served. Then the server came up to us and told, " NO OUTSIDE FOOD!" What?????? I was trying to feed a "baby food pouch" to my 10-month-old baby! I have never been told like stupid warning. Definitely NOT a baby friendly place at all!!!! Will never come back. read more

We tried this restaurant on the first warm day of a very early spring, first night they had their tables outside. They were busy and also filling a big catering order, so the service was really quite bad. But the food was so excellent that we will surely go back frequently. Best falafel we've ever had. Sweet potatoes fries were also very good, and the pitas were fresh, soft, also the best I've ever had. Sandwiches wee creative and delicious. Absolutely superb food. read more

Food here is delicious. I've been a few times and am never disappointed. The customer service is decent. Haven't had an issue so far which is good read more

By far the best Hummus place in town. Went by on a Sunday afternoon with friends. I never knew hummus can be such a feast, but I guess that's what happens when a renowned chef decides to go Mediterranean. The best part (asides from the excellent Moroccan desert) was the price... So if you feel like going Mediterranean with a twist go to Hummus Elite. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. It's also Kosher if you care about those things. Don't forget to order black beer (AMAZING)! PS Fries in a Pita is the wave of the future! Awesome! read more

Nice service, excellent food. We had appetizer combo with hummus, falafel and the roasted eggplant. All them were delicious. We also share a hummus platter (that came with two pitas and was big portion, we needed to took out the left overs because was so good) and a chicken kebab platter (two skewers and a side plus vegetables). Everything so yummy, 100% recommendable read more

Love their hummus, fallafel, sandwiches. Really have never had anything I did not like here. Service is wonderful. Glad they are so near by!

The hummus sabbich is excellent. Good, clean, kosher, vegetarian, with excellent service at decent prices.

We found a gem. A tiny place with Israeli food. Had to wait for a table even on Thursday but it was worth it. The best hummus ever - we had hummus with truffle oil; marinated chicken thighs were excellent as was kofta kebob. Unfortunately, they are closed Friday night and Saturday but I was told they do catering. read more

This place is out of control, everything is very fresh, great hummus. I recommend the pargiot. And for dessert, it's not on the menu but they have great Turkish coffee! Definitely returning next time I'm in town. read more

Absolutely the best Hummus, I am always searching for the perfect texture hummus and finally found it, service was very attentive and nice. Would definitely come back, when I am in NJ read more

Until coming here, I thought hummus was just a little side dish for dipping crackers or veggies. But here, it could satiate as a stand alone meal. It has spoiled me for all other hummus. Store bought brands simply do not compare. And that's just the start... the lamb, the chicken, the rice dishes, the pita, everything is really appetizing. Great ambiance, kid friendly, and super strong service all around. I've made the trip from Brooklyn several times and it is well worth the distance. Already recommended friends, and they loved it too. read more

Went here for lunch on a recent business trip and really enjoyed the food. I'm not a hummus person, so I can't speak to that, but I thoroughly enjoyed my grape leaves appetizer (some of the better ones I've had) and the salad I chose that had roasted beets, apples, walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette was tasty and light and hit the spot amongst the heavier meals I was indulging in. The restaurant is small, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Nice little place! read more

This place had the best chicken shawarma sandwich since I was in Israel! Truly delicious and authentic!

don't you just hate when you order wrong? i like beef and onions. i like hummus. i like tahini. but no one told me that these four ingredients,when put together in a bowl will eventually become " mush " read more

Thought I was in a cafe in Tel Aviv with great chopped salad and wonderful hummus I could stuff in pita w well turned falafel and great hot(green) sauce! We will be back. read more

Went in around lunch time and had the vegetarian special. My appetizer was Moroccan cigars and then the hummus falafel platter. Everyone there was nice but only 2 servers were there and it was busy!! But the people behind me who were schmoozing the whole time had the same waiter and saw him at least 4 times after they got their food and I saw him when I ordered, got my food and when I asked for my check. -__- the woman next to me was right next to the register and just stood up to ask who ever was there if she could pay. When the manager came out to lend a hand I jumped into the line that had formed and paid that way. So- u have to be schmoozy or proactive & request service here but nice people and ok food! read more

My wife took home some hummus from Hummus Elite for me and it tasted home made. It was delicious. She raved about this place and wanted me to try it with her next time. read more

I love this place. The food is terrific, the service is excellent. It's a small place, so they can't accommodate larger parties, but if you're looking for great pargiot, hummus, or Israeli salad, this is your place. Note: they close for Shabbat, so no service on Friday night or Saturday. And if you BYOB, make sure it's kosher. read more

Delicious food, clean, new atmosphere, terrific service! May very well be my favorite, casual kosher restaurant.

They delivered within 30 minutes, which was great. The salads were excellent and dips were great too. Everything tasted very good. We ordered the cigars, which were just so-so, but the eggplant dip and israel salad were delicious. The baklava dessert was also yummy. Overall, I would order takeout from them again any day. read more

My sister and I came here for a casual Sunday lunch, and we were pleasantly surprised by this local hidden gem! The pargiot, sweet potato fries, and the roasted eggplant were all amazing. The owner Shlomi was so nice, and the atmosphere was great. Very family friendly. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

I had lunch there this afternoon. My wife had the falefel and I had the falafel balls w/ hummus. It was really good, and fairly priced as well. read more

The appetizers here are great. The hummus, cigars, and kibbeh were delicious. The sandwiches were also very good and the price is very affordable. The service is good but not great. Overall, a good value and I enjoy this restaurant. read more

Food here tasted pretty authentic. I ordered take out and they took a little longer then I would expect. Still a decent experience. For some good Israeli food try this place out. read more
