I have mix feelings about this place. After my husband dragged me in to check it out. I gave it a shot and the food is good if you have enough knowledge on food combos. The place is clean, the design of their shop is sharp, and the workers are nice. What I like about this place is how they label their ingredients to help you decide on your food/drink on the spot without guessing which I find helpful because I was able to order at ease. The price my husband and I got for the wraps is it's pretty worth it ($40). They last about the next day and are filling. Keep in mind that if you want your food to last longer, make sure to have your sauces in container as you order! When ordering, you do need some kind of knowledge on what food goes with what. As someone who cooks often, it was easy for me. My husband, however, had a difficult time because there was so many choices to pick from. And sadly, only 1-2 workers were able to help him out. The rest, not so much. Be prepared to talk to each other LOUDLY though. The masks and forcefield makes it difficult to communicate so it can be a bit frustrating to get what you want without repeating it. I wish I could give this place all stars but I didn't like how two of the workers act towards us. Due to our lack of knowledge on how to order for the first time (difficulty communicating) and having to ask some questions on the food (multiple food allergies so I had to ask). One of the ladies got so irritated with us that she walk away and had another worker take over which made me feel shameful for asking questions and the feeling worsen as I watch my husband struggle what to get for his meal. If the store had a list of ingredients on their hummus and ideas on what to put together for your meal on their website. It wouldn't be a struggle. Especially for first timers. I understand why the ladies did not want to suggest anything because people have different taste and didn't want to deal with an unhappy customer but there is no excuse to embarrass someone. Instead of glaring and sighing heavily at the customer for holding up the line, you could have at least help them out a bit by asking what they like and suggest a few ideas to help them finalize their decision. Things would have gone faster if you just helped. Lucky for them, my husband enjoys the food so we come here occasionally. read more

Some friends tried this place in Fresno today and I knew we had one locally so I decided to give it a shot. Wow, wow, wow! The food is extremely fresh. I chose the build-your-own bowl with lemon chicken over a bed of garbanzo beans and spring mix with three different types of hummus, cucumbers, kalamata olives and feta cheese. Amazing! A couple eating in the restaurant made conversation with me and convinced me to try the fried pita chips as well. I will definitely come back as the food looks and tastes amazing! Great job! read more

Hummus Republic - Build Your Own Bowl w/ lemon chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Visalia, California

Interesting idea. I'm familiar with middle eastern cuisine and flavors so I didn't have too much trouble ordering. The fake meat was not so good but the shawarma mushrooms were a great option for my vegan brother. We didn't like the beef but loved the falafel. The range of hummus flavors and sauces are quite good. read more

This wasy first time at Hummus Republic. I love the simplicity of the concept and the overall vibe. There is a great mix of traditional and non-traditional options. The ordering process is super straightforward and all options are clearly marked. Since we were obviously new, an employee walked us through everything clearly and really took the time to personalize our experience. The serving size is great too. The wrap had no shortage of filling and kinda came apart halfway through, which was fine by me! I very much enjoyed the spicy options as well, and the ability to sample them! We'll be returning here for sure to try many of the other options that we didn't get to tonight! read more

Hummus Republic - Very full wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Visalia, California

Found this place on Yelp while i was in the area working. Food: Served in a similar fashion to Chipotle, this place is a "build your own" type eatery. You pick a bowl, wrap, or salad and then all the additives. I personally chose to build my own bowl and got chicken and couscous as the base with some lettuce. There are so many options to choose from you are bound to find something you like. I must say i was highly impressed with their options, the bowl was so flavorful and delicious and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. I think this place is absolutely worthy of their rating. My coworker is a Middle Eastern immigrant so this is right up his alley, and he was super impressed with the food taste and quality. If he says its good, that's all i needed to hear. For a new restaurant i think this is a great spot and an awesome addition to the neighborhood, i highly recommend it. read more

Hummus Republic - Delicious and loaded - Mediterranean Near Me - Visalia, California

Quick service, giant portions, customizable food options. I got 2 wraps and they were massive and delicious! You get to choose whatever you want to put in the wrap and most of the items are available without extra charge. The options are also quite healthy. I would highly recommend coming here for those trying to choose a healthier takeout option with many veggies and plant based protein choices. The sauces and seasoning tasted really good. We spent almost $30 but ate it over 2 meals. read more

One of my all time favorite Mediterranean places to come to. The food is always fresh tasting, the service is friendly and helpful. I live in Washington and make a point to come here when we come visit! read more

Generous portions with their bowls and every bite was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be coming back!

Eddie was great! Service here has always been great and very friendly staff! I always look forward to coming to this location.

Love. Love. Love Hummus Republic. If you want high quality fresh food this the place. This our favorite "date night" spot. We get a build your own bowl and the pita chips. (You haven't lived until you've had their pita chips). read more

This place hits all the cravings! This place has such fresh ingredients and amazing options for hummus and protein. Crunchy- tangy- fresh-pickled-veggie-deliciousness! I got the bowl for myself, and my daughter and my husband got the pita wrap. Pure bliss. My family and I came here and we absolutely will be back! read more

Hummus Republic - Mediterranean Near Me - Visalia, California

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY Our cups, bowls, cutlery, and straws are all compostable. GOOD FOOD FAST Fresh plant based food. We use organic and local whenever possible. Those two statements off of their website is why I chose to eat here. I can't say that I enjoyed my wrap. I didn't realize that it was a build your own restaurant. I had no idea which flavors would work together. I wanted a chicken shawarma. What I created did not in any way taste like a traditional shawarma. There were three bites in the very middle of my wrap that tasted decent. Three stars for being environmentally conscience. read more

The food was really good The staff was very friendly and offered to let us sample the hummus. The cucumber jalapeño lemonade was great. We will definitely be back again. #datenight read more

Absolutely loved my lunch here. Such variety and flavors. My friend and I both built our own bowls. She's gluten/dairy free and found so many options. I went with the mushrooms and chicken shawarma with everything their bar offered. The place is set up like a Chipotle/ Subway. Highly recommend you try this place out. You will not be disappointed. Wraps and Bowls only. A few photos attached with sauce and dressing options. About $13 for the bowl. read more

Their hummus is really good. They also have bowls you can build that are really good as well. I wish they had another base to choose from but they have a good amount of toppings. read more

This is such a Delicious place to get a healthy meal ! Always clean and fresh best place to get your hummus fix

I've been missing out on this place. I always seen it on my food search list but never hesitated to try it only because I thought it was somewhere in a busy shopping center. Well it was but not as busy as being stuck in mooney. Anywho I came here 2 Saturdays ago in mid day. Service in the beginning was a bit disrespectful as I was being attended (another employee decided to interrupt the employee helping me and left me alone for a few seconds) it was my first time here so I didn't know what to order or what kind of stuff they had. Sure enough She explained how it works. I was surprised on the selections. I ended up getting the bowl with a mix of falafels and chicken. I can't remember what else I got but it was good. My partner really enjoyed it as he's never had Mediterranean food. The hummus selection was too much for me but she gave me the best ones. I got the regular, the cucumber kind and I can't remember the other one. Tasty and it gave my bowl some spark. I liked the fact that it came with the pita bread. I couldn't decide on what sauces so I got them on the side. I liked the cilantro one and couldn't get enough. The falafels were a bit dry but manageable when you mix it with the sauces. The cucumber was different but it was good with the stuff I got. Good portions and filling. Hoping to come back soon. Service overall was great and the lady was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you guys! read more

Excellent service and food. Free samples yum. Great ambience. I also loved their jalapeño lemonade.

I went in today and one of the workers was giving me attitude. I told them what I wanted and they basically threw my food at me. When they were serving they also slapped the food on my bowl. I went in there and go treated with nothing but disrespect! When I was paying I got extra change and I didn't put it in the tip jar, when the worker saw I didn't put no tip money she gave me the dirtiest look i have ever received. I came home and as I was opening my bowl I saw not one, not two, but THREE strands of hair inside of my bowl. I am completely disgusted with how I was treated and how I found literal HAIR in my food. Don't come here unless u want to be treated badly and eat greasy oily hair in your food. If you are gonna put hair in my food at least take care of it. read more

This is one of those places that you just need to go and get yourself filled with deliciousness. The food surpasses my own expectations for a place that's somewhat fast. I had the pita with vegetarian choices personally, and every bit of it complemented the rest, all delivered in a soft pita that puts store-bought stuff to shame. Top this off with friendly service, a clean environment, and modern decor? You got it! Go get some eats! read more

Great food!! Fresh. By far my favorite!!! My daughter shared this restaurant with me and wow didn't regret trying it. Definitely have ate here few times already. Highly recommend! read more

Such a disappointment... all over their website you're told everything comes out to you hot and freshly prepared but when i went, around 5 pm just before the dinner rush, i was served old falafel, old couscous, the last of the warm garbanzo beans (the worker was literally scraping the pan), and a big bowl of gobbley-goop mess. the second bowl we ordered was served in the same fashion. It was semi-warm, cold and old food. Not appetizing and not as advertised. i really wanted to like this place, especially for the vegetarian options, but it was dead on arrival. read more

DELICIOUS! Service was patient, friendly, and helpful. Ambiance was mellow. The several flavors of Hummus were amazing. Eggplant hummus, super; but the red pepper hummus was killer! Chicken swarma so good. So many extras at no charge. Chickpeas and couscous. Just the best. read more

My hummus bowl was d e l i c i o u s. I hadn't tried Hummus Republic before, but I love Mediterranean food and lots of options, so it was already a good match. With easy online ordering and multiple kinds of base, hummus, and toppings, I wanted to try all the things. Bases -- I love love love that there are so many options for the base, and you can mix and match. The kale salad is delicious, the garbanzo beans are super filling, and there's even spinach versus mixed greens to choose between. Protein -- falafel versus chicken (lemon chicken or shawarma) are the included options, and there's an upcharge for other kinds of meat. I tried the falafel today and it was pretty good with a generous portion. It wasn't the best falafel I've ever had and was a touch on the dry side, but mixed with the hummus and other toppings, it was still tasty. I also sampled the chicken shawarma and found it flavorful without being dry, so I might get that next time. Hummus -- eggplant, roasted red pepper, traditional, olive, you name it! I tried the eggplant and olive ones today and thought both were very good. The olive hummus had a super robust olive taste, one of the best I've had. Toppings -- plentiful and fresh, I really enjoyed the fresh herbs (lots of cilantro) and pickled cabbage. There are also options for tahini sauce and tzatziki, and I preferred the latter for a nice tanginess. Ordering takeout through Yelp was fast and easy, and pickup was a breeze. Hummus Republic is a great addition to the area, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Every food item in my bowl was delicious and felt good quality! The service was also great. Due to a recent change in schedule, my group arrived a couple minutes after closing time, but the wonderful staff still let us order 3 bowls and helped customers who continued to come in after us. They also added free dolmas to our dishes as a complimentary addition because they wanted us to try them. Would definitely go again! read more

Glad to have this awesome gem in Visalia. They have options for everyone, even if you aren't the biggest fan of mediterranean food. They have a lot of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. The restaurant was clean and well kept. Having the ability to pick and choose what you like in your bowl or wrap makes it easy for the whole family. Food was fantastic and very flavorful. Only complaints is long wait time for being the only patron in there and okay service from the employees helping us out. Overall, eat here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Date night at a new place! Completely satisfied by this experience. Staff was friendly, helpful and did a great job keeping the place clean and tidy. Reminded us of a Mediterranean take on the Chipotle approach where you can pick what you want and add all the flavors you want - and boy were there a ton of options to pick from. The pita bread was fresh just like all the sides. Highly recommend this new spot, we'll be back soon! read more

Been here twice, and love the food. I normally do the bowl with two choices of protein and it comes with pita bread. I have them load it up with most items and all spicy.

Definitely give this spot a try if you enjoy mediterranean food. read more

What a refreshing place! Where do I start!?! So their food is extremely fresh, the type that you don't have to feel guilty about when you are on a diet. Their ingredients are displayed perfectly with clear menu options that make choosing something so easy. It will definitely take a few visits to get through the menu but I'm ready for the challenge lol Also the employees are absolute angels!!! My favorite place in Visalia so far!!! And Jalapeño cucumber lemonade.. who knew it would be that good lol Keep up the amazing work read more

Good value and great service. We decided to stop here on Sunday while we waited for Fedex to open. The ladies that worked there were professional and helpful for my husband and I who were first timers. I got a chicken shawarma bowl loaded to the brim. The portions were super generous as this was enough for three meals for me. The food flavor was ok- I prefer flavors with a more garlic sauce. The tzatziki was creamy but I really wanted more garlic. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if I was in the area would consider stopping by again. read more

Came here for dinner and we ordered build your own bowls which came with a lot of food including pita bread, base, 3 hummuses, protein and toppings. Can also choose sauces. Good flavors. Also got pita chips and hummus. Reasonable prices. Dine in with a couple tables outside. Will come again! read more

Great food, nice staff. I did have a couple of not so great experiences early on but the owner quickly rectified the issue once I reported it.

The more flavors you combine, the better. read more

A treasure in Visalia. You'd never know it but this is a new go-to quick Mediterranean food place in town. Like a middle eastern version of Chipotle. Pick a bowl, a wrap or a pita and then pick from a large assortment of stuffings and sauces. Great for the vegetarian and meat eater alike. Large portions to boot. None of us could finish (6 of us) and we all got to go boxes. Definitely check this place out. A well-kept secret. read more
