This is a nice place, the décor is light and airy, it opened only a few years ago so it still has a very clean bright look. I usually get the beef kebab plate which is pretty consistent and filling. I'd recommend this as well as the moussaka and koftedes which is a lamb/beef patty covered in tomato sauce. It's a very neighborhoody place with a lot of outdoor seating to sit and people watch on busy Polk street. read more

Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen - Lamb & Beef Gyros Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Stopped for a lunch after running errands and it was worth it! My wife and I got the Chicken Gyros wrap and Chipotle Hummus to share and we both enjoyed them both. The Chicken was cooked perfectly. The Hummus had a spicy kick to it but not too spicy as my wife doesn't like spicy. The only downside is that the amount of pita bread isn't a lot, which is never enough. It's one cut into 4. Would have been nice to have a couple extra pieces. Service we great too. We will be back to try another wrap and a hummus soon. read more

The food was excellent, the service was kind and quick, and I like the vibe, clean and bright but still definitely a street corner stop. Trying to find parking nearby is painful though. read more

Was in the area and decided to try. I got the chicken kebab plate and overall great portions. Chicken was nicely seasoned and liked how it included pita on the side. Good spot will be coming back to try the beef or lamb plate. read more

Overall this was a pretty disappointing experience. We came in since it looked like a clean, fresh menu and restaurant. The falafel plate does not include salad or rice which is super annoying because you would think of all the plates, that salad would be needed on this one. They should indicate it in a separate section on the menu if it doesn't include that. Secondly, the rice was horrendous, not Mediterranean style as you would expect, just boiled rice. Hummus was okay, chicken falafel wrap barely had any greens in it or any flavor and it looked a little pink. The chicken plate was not that great but at least it had salad on it and the chicken was cooked. They also don't have any special Mediterranean sauces like you would expect. Appreciate that they had gluten free falafel at least. The restrooms were disgusting where you couldn't step foot in it. read more

O M G best Mediterranean food I've EVER HAD!!! You know how I can tell? I was full, and I still wanted to eat more!! And when I was done, I didn't have any regrets, everything I ate was worth every bit of tummy space I had left! And I had a smile on my face with the last bite too! What I ordered and thoroughly enjoyed was the Appetizer Sampler with and extra side of Falafel and an extra side of Pita Bread, and a side of Greek fries. Also got the Turkish Coffee and added dessert, ofcourse the Baklava! Everything was amazing, SERIOUSLY - AMAZING.... From the way things tasted, everything was FRESH and just so full of flavor! I've tried hummus and baba g and before and THIS place really does IT BEST! It's the most fine and creamy EVER. Greek fries had great flavor, if you want to save some for later, they reheat nicely in an air fryer it turns out! Turkish coffee is good, it will definitely give you an afternoon perk when you need it. The to-go cup is so cute. Baklava was good too, not too sweet, which I loved! So something I learned the Appetizer Sampler already has a couple pieces of Falafel in it, and there is 1 round of pita bread included. If you love your hummus with a bite of pita, get an additional side of pita bread. Btw, I ordered off Grub Hub. So if you can't go to the restaurant like myself, it can come to you! read more

I recently dined at Hummus and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the modern ambiance and friendly staff made us feel right at home. The menu offered a delightful variety of Mediterranean dishes, each crafted with authentic ingredients. We started with Hummus and Tzaztiki, which was a perfect introduction to the flavors of the region. The hummus was creamy and flavorful. For the main course, I opted for the lamb and beef gyros, which were tender and perfectly seasoned. Aşkım tried the Chicken gyro plate, with Rice and salar and it did not disappoint! Don't skip dessert--the baklava was divine, sweet and flaky. We were lucky enough to have Shule (Şule?) there to serve us which made our visit that much better. I can't wait to return! read more

Discovered this place less than two months ago and had to come back for seconds! Husband and I split the following: Hummus flight - the beet and chipotle were my favorite. I couldn't really tell the difference between the classic and olive & feta ones. Found it odd that they only gave us two pieces of pita bread for the whole flight. Chicken kebab plate (with brown rice) - the chicken and salad were good, but the star of this plate is the brown rice!!! It's so soft and fluffy, delicious even on its own Wild rocket salad with falafel - a little too overdressed for my liking this time. Falafels were lacked flavor. We got this with the chicken gyros last time and I preferred that over the falafel Minus 1 star for customer service, pita:hummus ratio, and overdressed salads. read more

Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen - Chicken Gyros - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Food and service / topshelf ! I've eaten in a lot of Mediterranean places in the city and I have to say this is one of my favorite!

I ate at this particular spot during the last days of Crave, a sandwich spin-off of Street which I believe is still across the street. I wasn't aware Crave was closing, and unfortunately that's not unusual these days. The good news, however, was that I am familiar with this cafe from its bigger San Mateo location and really enjoyed it (review: https://bit.ly/3G9dTDW). Hearty Mediterranean plates are what I remember. It was a good thing as I was feeling mighty peckish after traipsing up and down both Nob and Russian Hills. I ordered the $11 Wild Rocket Salad and had them add Chicken Gyros for an additional $3.50. The salad contained a lot of my favorite ingredients: peppery arugula, slices of toasted beets, orange segments, shaved almonds, and quinoa. There was a huge portion of marinated chicken gyros on top. Adding a tantalizing blood orange avocado oil dressing turned this into quite a feast in a bowl (photo: https://bit.ly/33YJVWq). A side of warm grilled pita cut in quarters merely enhanced the meal as I was quite sated (photo: https://bit.ly/3r7ww75). At least I was smart enough not to order an appetizer of hummus not because it' wasn't any good (it is) but because that would have made me a complete glutton. I'll be coming back to help them not meet the fate of Crave. FOOD - 4 stars...a rocket salad that really took off AMBIANCE - 4 stars...spaced out appropriately for indoor dining SERVICE - 4 stars...timely service TOTAL - 4 stars...a solid, dependable chain for Mediterranean favorites RELATED - Exploring Russian Hill?

Was in the mood for something satisfying but not heavy while walking down Polk so opted for Hummus! | f o o d | They have a variety of plates, salads, and wraps for your choosing. We opted for plates: 1. chicken kebab: my chicken was moist and juicy! I feel like many places tend to dry out chicken kebabs. It wasn't bland or heavy in flavor, but I preferred this so I can dip in the garlic sauce. Add their hot sauce on for a kick! 2. beef + lamb gyro: yum, sliced thinly and light in flavor. My bf's go-to every time! The portions are filling and balanced in their rice and meat servings. They also give so much pita bread so I recommend you order a side of hummus for dipping! I mean... they're called HUMMUS for a reason ;) | t l ; d r | This is your place if you're looking for a healthy and filling meal whether it's a quick pick-me-up or casual dining. The quality and portions are worth it & the customer service is great! read more

Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen - Feta and Olive Hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

What a disappointment. The guy behind the cash register told us that from the appetizers and hummus plates the larger amount on the price list is for a portion twice the size than the small amount. But, when we got the larger portion about 1/4-1/2 inch of hummus was answered out on a plate. No, nothing could be done. That's the large portion. Salad was good, but service and hummus plates are to be ignored. read more

The cashier is very rude, and the other workers are rude too. They look at you like you are eating for free. Also, the chicken wrap was not tasty at all, it was dry. I will never come back to this place. read more

Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is now on my list of favorite places in SF that's tasty, affordable, and healthy. Cute place right off Polk, clean interior decor, fast service. The food was out of this world, here's what we ordered for dine-in today: - Hummus flight 5/5, loved to try all of them, came with 4 small slices of pita, definitely needed more to go with the hummus varieties. Beet hummus was interesting to try but wish it was less liquidity. - Chicken Kebab plate with brown rice 5/5, can't believe how juicy the chicken kebab pieces were, and how soft the brown rice was (usually harder texture). Wife loved the house salad - Chicken gyro on Wild Rocket salad 5/5, wow can't believe how tender the chicken gyro pieces were, it's like actual chicken pieces not the typical thin gyro meat found in other places. Loved the beats and everything that came with the salad. The two plates came with more pieces of pita bread (soo delicious soft and warm) that we used to finish the hummus with. Overall the meal was perfect, their house hot sauce was amazing as well, we left feeling full from such a clean and healthy meal. Will definitely be back! read more

OMG I found my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant in S.F.! First of all, the restaurant is so beautiful, clean and comfortable. The two women at the register were some of the sweetest people ever! I ordered the chicken gyros wrap. Service was super fast and the wrap was 200000 out of 10! Literally the best wrap of had! The lavash was perfectly crispy on the outside and fresh, the veggies (lettuce, tomato and pickles) were delicious and the chicken was amazing and there was a perfect amount of it (I love a lot of meat)! They also added hummus and tzatziki to the wrap which gave it amazing flavor. My friend and I got baklava after and I love how the nuts on the inside were smoothed into a paste--with the phyllo dough crunchy on the outside. I can't wait to bring my parents and sister here next. This is the only Mediterranean spot I want to go to in the Bay!!! read more

Their kale salad is probably the most hydrating salad I've ever had. No excess dressing and the fresh ingredients just speak for themselves. With added protein it's the perfect post workout meal. The Turkish shakshuka is only available during lunch but by far my favorite in SF. read more

I love this place. I've had the lamb and beef shawarma plate maybe 40 times. However, I do want to flag that my friend and I got food poisoning here on 4/19/2023. I had never gotten food poisoning before, plus I didn't want to believe this place gave it to me, so I was in denial for a while. But in going over the events of that evening and talking it over with my friend, eating there was the only thing we had in common. The lamb and beef seem cooked well here, but the salad is pretty raw, so maybe it came from that. Anyway, I worked up the courage to come back, and I still overall trust the place. After all, food poisoning can happen randomly, even in well-maintained places. However, I do want to make a note of it. read more

The best moussaka in San Francisco! Delicious baba ghannouj and chicken kebab. We happened to walk by this place looking for somewhere to eat. We were delightfully surprised. Everyone in our group loved their entrées. Lovely staff. We can't wait to try their Turkish breakfast. read more

This place saved us after Berber had unexpectedly canceled our OpenTable Reservation, but as they say everything happens for a reason, as I know we saved money, and still were able to dine in an adorable space. We shared the appetizer platter, and mousaka. The mousaka was so delicious, I almost wished I would have gotten that all for myself, but as they say it is better to share. My only minor gripe is the appetizer platter did not come with enough pita bread for as big as the platter was, so we ended up having to order more everything with the exception of the dolmas required in order to eat it. read more

I've got to say as a Lebanese I am a huge critic of Med food in the Bay. I was floored that in their 4th day of business they were able to deliver such a great experience. The food was superb (definitely passed the Hummus test!). The owners are Turkish, but their take on our cuisine is very authentic (even more than Beit Rima). Ask for garlic sauce on the side for anything you order:) We pretty much ordered the whole menu. Everything is great for sharing. The kafta, hummus and appetizer samples were delicious. The chicken kebab wasn't dry and all and grilled perfectly. The dolmas were the most underwhelming thing, very dry (suggest more spice and tomato). Fattouch was refreshing but missing pomegranate molasses (just needs a dash). I'd love to see some med beers available, like almaza (available at BevMo). Tabbouleh as well (happy to lend my recipe ). Overall so happy to have great quality med food nearby. If they can pull of this quality in their first week they've set the bar pretty high! They have parkletts and tables outside for covid. read more

Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen - Chicken kebab - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Solid! I ordered the lamb and beef Gyro wrap which was super fresh and delicious... but maybe too juicy for the thin paper wrapper it came in which was thoroughly defeated by the meat drippings . My buddy ordered the moussaka which seemed to have a more generous amount of firm cheese than I'm used to seeing on the dish, which made me want to come back here just to try that next time. read more

Great stop if you're looking for something fast, filling and delicious. I got the chicken plate, and was very pleased with the portions. The Taziki and the house sauce are both really good. We took our food to go and they were very quick. The inside of the restaurant is very cute. The lemonade is also really good. Not too sweet but not too bitter either. read more

The sampler plate was impressive: solid hummus, baba ghanoush, etc. ... not sure what the salsa item was, but it was delicious; also the falafel was very good and not dry, like some places fail. The beef and lamb gyro was less impressive but adequate: a bit bland: no onions or pickled vegetables, like I used to get at "Truly Mediterranean ", which spoiled me for life. Additionally, the fries were probably from a bag, which is weird for a Mediterranean joint (often awesome). The guy running the register checked on us, twice, even though he was very busy and we were grateful. read more

We tried the chicken and beef kebobs and the gyro. Good option if you need gluten free to hold the pita with the kebabs - they are served with rice and salad. Also tried the gyro. I would say all is fine, but not very flavorful and the beef was a bit tough in the kebab. Wouldn't rush back. read more

Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen - shakshuka, comes with pita, really delicious! - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

This was my 4th time to Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen; tldr - I'll keep coming back. They have a cute outdoor area to eat right on Polk. The food is a bit on the pricey side, but as is usually the case: you get what pay for. I've tried the Chicken Gyro, Salmon Wrap and the Grilled Salmon Plate. All were excellent. And the service is impressively quick during the busy weekday lunch hours. This was my second time ordering the Grilled Salmon Plate and both times it was cooked to perfection. Delicious fish and nice simple side salad with it. The meal makes a great healthy lunch option for about 20 bucks. Well worth it. read more

Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen - Grilled Salmon Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Horrible food. Tastes and looks like frozen food thawed and served. Falafel were small hard and tasteless. Lentil soup tastes like the can it was emptied from. Gyro was sweeter than savory. Hummus was also sweet rather than savory. Falafel wrap was made with small tasteless falafel and filled with onion and tomatoes. Pita was not fresh at all. Can't write enough about how horrible the food was. Had to throw away food and still hungry after spending $70 All the 5 star reviews are about chicken or salad...try the hard tasteless falafel or the sweet hummas or gross tasting gyro read more

Went to Hummus today with my husband and we absolutely loved our experience and the food was incredible!!! I was craving a gyro and I got the lamb gyro and the meat was so tender and flavorful and the veggies were crisp and fresh. A perfect gyro! My husband ordered the combo plate with all of the meats, rice, salad and pita and we shared a chipotle hummus. While my gyro was delicious i couldn't help but steal bites off of his plate!! The chicken was so juicy and the beef was perfectly cooked. I knew this place was yummy but I was beyond impressed by the freshness and quality of the food. You can see the chefs cooking all the meat to order so you know it's great! I normally take pictures of my food but this time my husband and I were so excited we started eating immediately, but take my word for it - Hummus is delicious!! The restaurant itself is also very clean and the people working there are super nice! Can't wait to go back :) read more
