    Inside of restaurant

    My partner said he liked this better than Cava!! There are so many different types of hummus, which I loved. I just got a bunch of different hummus varieties, some feta, and some warm pita, which was absolutely delicious. My partner got the bowl with rice, chicken, and harissa spice, so there were a lot of different flavors here -- will come back and get a bowl for myself!

    Hummus Republic has a fun concept of "build your own" Mediterranean bowls and wraps. Their portions are generous and there's lots of unique combos to try. I had the falafel bowl with a cous cous base, spinach, regular hummus, corn, tomatoes, feta and tahini. They give you a side of pita with it was well! Very flavorful hummus (it's in their name, so it better be good!) and good value for what you get. My boyfriend and I split their sweet potato fries which were also pretty solid. This is a great option if you want a quick bite near, but not in, the outlets. Friendly staff, large lot and clean, bright space made this all around a worthwhile lunch outing.

    Lamb & Beef gyro bowl! Yum!
    Dennis R.

    1st review of the new year! I recently paid a visit based on good reviews from a friend. I've been to plenty of Mediterranean restaurants, but this was my first time having a "build a bowl" situation. While you can also order a wrap or pita, I went with a bowl. On to the food! I went with a beef & lamb gyro bowl with my choice of fixins'. You also get a choice of hummus, and can choose up to three kinds. I forgot what kind of hummus it was, but the green one was my favorite! Also, the gyro was super flavorful! I devoured this bowl, and would love to be back again! The service was great as well!

    The reviews looked promising but sadly I was disappointed. The service was okay. I had to ask what was in each tray as they weren't labeled. Obviously not everything needs to be labeled but some ingredients would have been nice. When I asked to identify ingredients , the server seemed a little aggravated. At the end I saw some crunchy chickpeas off to the side. I wish I had known. The place was clean. The menu and instructions were clear. I was hoping there was some kind of list of what would be good together but I suppose you can't go wrong. However, the hummus choices were overwhelming. The dressings were also overwhelming. Do I pick just 1 or would 3 hummus flavors be overpowering each other? What dressings go with what? I discovered that 3 hummus flavors was not a good idea, especially the feta flavored one. And the 2 dressings I ordered did not exactly work. The rice under my bowl was dry and flavorless. I wanted the crispy chicken but was told I had to wait 5-10 minutes so I couldn't order that. There was no sign or notice that said it would take 5-10 minutes. Why isn't that already prepared? It was lunchtime so why not be ready? I chose half beef/lamb gyro meat and half mushroom instead. The mushrooms were amazing! That was the only thing that saved my bowl. The meat tasted freezer-burned. I ate around the meat what I could. Mostly mushroom, the original hummus and eggplant hummus, and threw the rest away. I don't think I'll be back. The whole experience wasn't great.

    You get to make your own bowl!

    The Food is Delicious if you are looking for a healthier options and going to Livermore! The Service is great kind staff and very patient. As they have tons of options and you can build your own protein bowl! The ambience is amazing clean and welcome in space! They are located across the San Francisco Outlets which is totally walking distance and also located in a shopping plaza area where you can still shop after eating!

    Mushroom Shawarma Bowl (Vegan) + eggplants slices (extra charge)
    Holly S.

    Really disappointed in the mushroom shawarma... it was like rubber, no j/k. The three hummus flavors I tried were good: Olive, harissa, and eggplant. I added the extra eggplant slices and charred jalapeño. I like the garlic jalapeño tahini and both hot sauces. But I can say I didn't eat the bowl once I was seated and began exhausting my jaw chewing through the rubber mushroom shawarma... although it could have been two meals (the serving size)... it went straight to the . Was also excited to try the tahini shake, which says it's vegan on the menu in the restaurant, but when I confirmed it was vegan when I ordered it, the workers informed me it's no longer vegan :/ would be nice if the menu was updated. Interior has enough space for dining in. Plastic cutlery and recycle bowls. Won't go back for another try.

    It was my first time experiencing Mediterranean food as a build-your-own entree. It was nice being able to customize and try the various options they had for a base, for a protein, and for hummus and spreads. I ordered a bowl (which comes with a warm pita bread). For the base, I got the yellow rice and couscous. For the spread, I got the traditional hummus and the zesty feta. For the protein, I got the lamb & beef gyro. For the toppings, I got the cucumber, red onions, beets, and crumbled feta. For dressing, I got the traditional tahini and the tzatziki. It tasted good! I enjoyed it very much. The bowl was pretty good in size, too. I wasn't able to finish it in one sitting and took my leftovers home.

    We got two bowls, looked a bit messy and items kind of got lost in the bowl but it tasted yummy. The food for price is pretty good. Place is casual. The staff was tired as we went end of day but he was nice.

    Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl with everything and one of their spicy sauces
    Eric L.

    Really like the bowls from Hummus Republic, everything tastes great, and I like the way you can customize what you want to eat. I've mostly tried their chicken shawarma bowls, but am curious to try their vegetarian options as well. Both times I've visited, the staff have been very patient, kind, and accommodating. Clean basic tables for dining in. Reasonable prices, hearty portions. Lots of parking available. Location close to the freeway.

    Build Your Own Bowl
    Dave D.

    Hummus Republic is a decent Mediterranean style quick food restaurant across the street from the outlet malls. The place is clean and the service is friendly. They're pretty efficient and fundamentally not that expensive. With a name Hummus Republic, I was expecting something like Orens with home made hummus bowls and wraps. Actually this is more like a chipotle style build a bowl where you get three spoonfuls of hummus along with everything else (rice, salad, chicken, toppings etc). The food was decent but not extraordinary in any way. The hummus tastes like something straight from the grocery store, but the other ingredients seemed fresh. It's better than anything inside of the outlet mall so I guess l I'll go back sometime.

    Bowl (13.95)+ beef & lamb gyro (+2)
    Victor G.

    Hummus Republic is a "Modern Mediterranean Kitchen" operating on a Chipotle model of "DYI" with Wraps, Pitas, Bowls as the main vehicles. Decided to go for a bowl (13.95) to go with organic Med. Couscous as the base. Added mix greens. Should have added other greens too. Servers politely, efficiently scooped out all i requested. Not much decor. Just menus, pics. Added unlimited toppings: hummus, red cabbage, olives, tomatos, red onions, beets, fresh herbs, fried jalepenos, white cabbage, chopped cucumbers, chickpea croutons, crumbled feta, street mix, kalamata olives, tahini sauce. Added beef & lamb gyro (+2) Took a few pics, mixed it all up later. Actually plentiful & tasty. Shoulda got more greens. 4.5 stars..

    First time eating at this establishment, WOW! I opted for the bowl, spinach base, 3 scoops of hummus (traditional, Harissa, and eggplant), onions, tomatoes, cucumber, red cabbage, topped off with garlic jalapeño, roasted red pepper, and traditional Tahini! Flavor explosion, definitely will be visiting this place again!!

    Bowl with 3 kinds of hummus
    June W.

    Great bowl with hummus, spinach, farmer's mix lettuce, garbanzo beans, couscous, 3 kinds of hummus, mushroom shawarma and tahini. All was good. Especially loved the harissa hummus, good flavor. The mushroom shawarma wasn't as flavorful as I thought it could've been though. Good counter prep speed. Casual atmosphere.

    I'm a vegetarian. Do you fry/grill falafel in the same oil as other meat items?

    they don't fry/grill anything in the restaurant, it is all pre-made

    Is the meat and poultry halal?

    Hello Tala, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not offer halal meat options at this time.

    I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience at Sultan Kebab in Livermore…read more I ordered a shawarma salad and specifically avoid eating beef because it is against my religion. Unfortunately, I was served beef anyway. On top of that, the salad was spoiled. Shortly after eating it, I became extremely sick and started vomiting repeatedly. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened, but no one responded or made any effort to address the situation or follow up with me. Serving someone meat that goes against their religious beliefs is a serious mistake, and serving spoiled food is unacceptable. I hope the restaurant improves its food safety practices and pays closer attention to customers' dietary and religious restrictions so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

    I've been meaning to try the one in Pleasanton forever ago, but I stumbled onto this newer location…read morein Livermore so here we are. Looks like it took over the old Harry's Hofbrau space except they turned that massive space into 2 units now, as the days of massive dining halls are starting to become a rarity. Order at a counter and food gets brought to your table. There's a full bar (which I thought was strange for this type of food) but this is also Livermore where it still tends to have a stronger drinking culture than most other suburban towns. Most of the seating is in their 'outdoor' patio which is pretty well enclosed with one of those catering tents. Babaghanoush ($8/2.5*) Looked great with warm pita and an olive oil drizzle on top. Texture was spot on creamy and soft but they overloaded this usually delicate dip/mezze with enough raw garlic to kill a horse. Now I usually love garlic but this was to the point where you couldn't taste anything else so main ingredient which is roasted eggplant, you couldn't even tell what it was. And your mouth was tingling with that harsh garlic taste for minutes after chewing it down. Instead of wasting it, I packed it home and used it like Toum to spread onto other things. I've actually had Toums less potent than this. Adana Kabob ($19/4.5*) This a ground lamb kabob Turkish style. Similar to a Lule, Koobideh, Shami kabobs from other cultures. Turkish has pretty bold spicing but not as strong as Afghan or Pakistani. And definitely more assertive than Persian or Armenian. So kind of in the middle of the spectrum. I loved the texture and the flavor, just maybe a tad ambitious on the charring. Now that char did add an awesome grill flavor but a couple degrees more than burnt qualities may then be perceived. Combo Beef/Lamb Kabob $20/4*) For combos you can actually pick from several kabobs. They use smaller chunks like half inch cubes small. It is very natural tasting, no heavy marinades or spicing. Tasted like just salt to me so you can really taste the protein. But very well done but not really dry. I just prefer larger chunks like at least 1 inch cubes, so the meat stays juicy and succulent. Afghan and Persian kabobs usually have bigger pieces on those skewers. And these plates have a side of salted plain rice (not basmati) a green salad, some pita and a nice dollop of hummus which was top notch. Decent food, efficient service is going to make them a solid option for me in this town. Iskender, lamb shanks still in the zone for me to try.

We really enjoy Main St. in Pleasanton and hadn't tried Elia yet so we decided to make a reservation and come here on a Monday evening. This restaurant is gorgeous! It's very charming yet fancy at the same time. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. To be fair, it was a slow Monday and there was plenty of seating. We opted to sit outside due to the nice weather. They brought us waters and bread to get started which I appreciated. For drinks, my wife went with the Cab and I chose an old fashioned. Both came out promptly. For appetizer's, keep in mind they're not very large portions and can take a bit to come out. I suggest 1 appetizer will be enough for two people. Order more than you think you need if you're hungry or it's a larger party. Since it was later in the day, we both chose salads for our entrees. They were delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Our server and service was great- we were checked up on just enough but not too much. Our server was soft spoken, friendly and efficient. I always enjoy working with a server who is professional, courteous and not overly invasive. Not only do I plan on coming back, I'm going to be telling all my friends and family about Elia. Will definitely be doing a birthday or two here in the near future.

Tried a few Greek wines, and had the lobster pasta, with what I recall as bucatini (could be wrong). It was beautiful and delicious as expected. Popped out of the shell display and sliced it up for a wonderful dinner with coworkers. Colors reminiscent of Greek isles, with the blues and white, plus owls and eye painted decor. It felt casual but professional. Quieter on a Wednesday, but a nice stop for that Mediterranean fix with a bit of class. Enjoy.
