If you're in the mood for really good Mediterranean food, I highly recommend Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen. The service is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely spot on. The chicken is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the hummus is incredibly smooth and creamy. Don't skip the tzatziki or the spicy sauce -- they're the perfect complements to any dish. read more

First time eating at this restaurant and when I arrived the place was empty. I ordered the falafel wrap and I have to give it a solid thumbs up. Falafel was moist, not burnt, and still had a little crunch. the greens were fresh and snappy. I would have liked a little more hummus inside, but the dill sauce that came with it was pretty good and provided more flavor. The wrap itself seemed to be grilled a bit so it was a little hard but I didn't mind. By the time we had finished lunch the place was packed. I guess the locals know that this is a good place for lunch. I would revisit Hummus and try some of the plates next time. read more

The lamb kabab was very hard to bite int and the pita bread felt store bought and stale. For their price point, the food has to be amazing. Anything less is a miss. As compared to the other Mediterranean restaurants in and around here, their offering at the same price needs a lot of improvement. read more

Great space for a quick service meal. Decent portions however it still is a bit expensive, especially since none of the salads come with protein and it costs extra to add on. The food quality was delicious though and it's a nice space read more

First time eating here today. The food was tasty and service was great. We both had the Lamb & Beef Gyro wrap with a side order of fries, which were really a basket of hot shoestrings, delicious. They have a large menu and the cashier let us take our time to order. I can't say I'd go there again, but if you like mediterranean food, go check them out. read more

I didn't have high expectations coming here but was unexpectedly surprised at how much I liked this place! I ordered the Beef Skewer Plate which was a good portion and so flavorful. I don't know what I was expecting the beef is more like steak bites and it probably could've been more tender but nonetheless, I enjoyed every bite. The rice here is also super fluffy, and the side salad was dressed great too. The hot sauce on the table is SO good, if I could buy a bottle next time I would. Their beef was more flavorful than the chicken skewer I tried, so next time I come I'll get the same thing. Can't wait to be back! read more

Had my usual chicken gyro fattoush salad -- it was so good and so satisfying! Portion was so generous and I had it with a side of the chipotle hummus -- loved dipping the bigger chunks of chicken into the hummus as well as pieces of tomato and cucumber. read more

Our appetite for delicious Mediterranean food peaked Saturday, so we made the trip out to Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen in San Mateo. I'm sure glad we did because the experience was great. The restaurant has a cozy & clean ambiance to it. When you walk in, there is a counter to the right where you can place & pay for your order. The lady at the register was very nice & patient while we decided on what we were going to order. We ordered an appetizer of classic hummus, cheese pie two orders of Chicken Gyro and two orders of French fries. For drinks, we ordered two soft drinks. All in with tax, it was about $77. Honestly, that's not bad at all. With how expensive everything has gotten, it was refreshing to see a fair deal. We received our food about 10 minutes later- everything was hot, fresh and tasty. The food was so good nobody was talking as we were too busy gobbling everything down! The portions are fair and fulfilling. I thought we didn't order enough; boy was I wrong. There is free water and cups near the end of the restaurant if you just need a glass of water. Overall the food was fantastic, pricing is fair and the service was great. I look forward to coming here many more times. read more

The ambience was really cool in this restaurant, but the food left something to be desired. On a weekday, vibes were elevated casual with their modern and trendy decor. We got our food out in 10 min. Chicken wrap with fries (2/5) - this one was very mid. The wrap didn't come with a lot of chicken and ingredients for the price, and fries were an additional $2. Bowl with lamb and beef gyros (3/5) - my friend mentioned that this one was just okay. I don't think I'd come again, and prefer Mediterranean from another place! read more

One of my favorite places to eat: great food, a big portion of food, super nice and kind staff and servers. Very attentive once I almost lost consciousness because my blood sugar went low and the server immediately came to check on me and offered the dessert and checked couple time after that. read more

I actually liked my meal and the service at this Hummus place. Not sure why it's always empty but the eggplant was delicious, the hummus was decent too. Staff was great. Didn't like the super dry falafel though so I wouldn't come back for that. Decent and fast Mediterranean food though. read more

I went to Hummus almost every day this summer... and miss it already. Hummus is super clean with their ingredients and the portions are filling. They do lamb, salmon, flatbreads, and salads really well. The people working here are also just wonderful - Aidana, Enes, and the rest of the team - they're so kind, hospitable, and cheery. The ambiance is great as well. They also have breakfast on weekends from 9:30am-1pm, which not many people know about - I'd highly recommend trying it out! Great Turkish-style brunch menu with tea and everything. Recs: - Lamb shish kebab house plate -- so tender, juicy, and flavorful, I've gotten this almost 10x. - Beef soujuk pide -- flatbread with beef, like pizza but better, super tasty. They pre-cut it for you so great for sharing/for the table. - Grilled prawns house plate/on mediterranean salad bowl -- I really love the mediterranean bowl base (chickpeas, cucumber, peppers, rice), and you can add any meat you want to it. - Grilled salmon house plate -- also really flavorful, they do salmon well. - Rice pudding -- popular, unique dessert option. - Cucumber lemonade -- seasonal drink in August, also pretty unique. The only things I didn't love were the house combo house plate (meat was a little dry) and baklava (too oily for my liking on the bottom). The prices are also a bit steep for the amount of meat you get, but I guess you get what you pay for. Overall, a solid spot in San Mateo - would recommend! read more

A casual Mediterranean spot with a small group of friends . We each ordered our own dish and all received great portion size. I ordered the butcher cut koftedes (greek meatballs). Beef wasn't dry and rice was super flavorful so much that I've finished the whole thing . The oil from the rice and chicken stock is perfectly balanced and fluffy. Service was quick . There's garage parking across the street . read more

Got the lamb and beef gyro plate, mushroom pide, and Greek fries. Fries were fine and came with garlic, feta, and Parmesan. The mushroom pide lacked flavor and some of the egg white was undercooked/runny. The lamb and beef gyro wasn't particularly seasoned and a bit dry. We did enjoy the rice though. You order at the counter, receive a number, and seat yourself. The space is decently large and clean. Service was hit and miss - some folks were really friendly and others were not. read more

We came in at 6.30pm - Saturday night , a party of 7 with an infant, seated immediately. We ordered a variety of food - hummus flight - the beet hummus, garlic hummus were big hit - IMO both need a bit more seasoning ( salt). But we helped ourselves. They gave us a hot sauce that was really goood! Balanced the stuff for me. Pide - really a flat bread pizza - didn't look like the Google images. But it was fresh and tasty. Falafels- good. But on the dry side. Rice, chicken kebabs - good. yogurt drink - very salty/ had to water them down. Service was fast. I would consider coming back for a quick lunch. But not for a Saturday night dinner - taste and ambience wise... read more

Casual Middle East Mediterranean restaurant. You order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. Lots of freshly made dishes and they have a gyro rotisserie.

This was my second time here, and just as delicious as the first time I've tried this spot. I love Mediterranean food, and this place doesn't disappoint. If you're looking for a healthy clean-eating food spot, look no further. What I ordered: CHICKEN GYROS PLATE: Plate comes with a small salad, pita bread, seasoned rice, chicken, and yogurt sauce. Salad was really fresh and not drenched in dressing, which I loved. Pita bread was nice and warm. The seasoned rice had a nice mild flavor (might've been cooked in some kind of broth). The chicken with the yogurt sauce was excellent, and not too salty. Highly recommended! When you walk in, you order/pay at the counter. They bring the food to your table. Water station available as well. Ambiance is casual. read more

Doordash order. Lovely, lovely hummus! The original hummus is second to Dish n Dash's hummus in my opinion. The Chipotle hummus was nice. I wouldn't order it on its own though. I did not try the feta and olive hummus but my partner liked it fine. My favorite was the BEET HUMMUS! It was GREAT! It was a little sweet and vibrant, which was nice. I'm still thinking about it. Ranked in order: 1. Beet hummus - would definitely come back to order this again. 2. Original hummus - Nice hummus but would not go out of my way for it. 3. Chipotle hummus - glad I tried it but I don't need to have any more. Hummus flight comes with one pita bread cut in two, which is nowhere near enough. We ordered two extra sides of pita bread and still ran out of pita before the hummus. Can't wait to have the beet hummus again! read more

I went to Hummus on a team dinner. The restaurant is very well decorated and appealing. We went as a group of five and found a table that was suitable, but overall would not recommend for larger groups. We made our order at the counter and got our food fairly quickly. We decided to try a sampler platter as an appetizer. It came with 3 falafels and many dips. To me, it felt that there was way too much dip to eat the three falafels with. I think it's more to accompany your main entree vs eating by itself. We had some tea served which was quite delicious and great for the cold night. I ordered a chicken kebab plate which came with two skewers of chicken, salad, tzatziki, pita and a side of plain rice. It was quite filling and delicious when eaten with some of the sampler platter dips, I loved the baba ganoush. I think overall everyone enjoyed their meal. Parking was fairly easy to find on a weekday night right out front. The cashier was friendly! read more

The food was decent. The service was adequate. And the ambience was very relaxing and casual. I would go back.

The food is incredible. We eat here weekly and love it. We have never had anything that wasn't truly fresh, delicious, perfectly seasoned. It's great. The staff are amazing. They are gracious, attentive, delightful. The ONLY thing stopping a 5 star review is that I despise the lack of compostable to go containers. Come on now. The earth is dying under the weight of plastic. Please love the earth as much as you love making amazing food. I am praying they hear me and change their to go containers so I can eat here more often and guilt free. read more
