I've only been here twice and both times for too good to go. Fast pickup and nice staff both times. The trio was original, hot curry and black bean. I liked the hot curry the best of the trio. Hot curry is not hot or spicy. All 3 were super creamy. Pick up spot only. read more

PSA: Holy Cow the tuom with senafich and mareko peppers is INCREDIBLY GOOD. Yes everything else I've tried is superlative too. Please please please support this store! It needs to stay in business/keep providing us with hummus, tuom and tahini. read more

So unique and the hummus here is fresh with inventive flavors. Was excited to try this using too good to go and paid $13 for 3 containers of hummus. The plain flavor was our favorite. Strictly a to go place, but the hummus with some bread from Acme is heaven! read more

Obour Foods - Classic Hummus and Salt & Pepper Baked Pita Chips - Specialty Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

Such a cool little spot inside the Ferry Building. Obour Foods does organic hummus and tahini in flavors you wouldn't expect -- think Hot Curry, Date, Pomegranate, Grape. Not your average hummus situation. The person working was super friendly and really knew their stuff -- helped me understand the different flavors and what makes each one unique. Made the whole experience way more fun. My favorite was the Hot Curry -- the name makes it sound intense but it's really not too spicy, just really good flavor. Had it with their homemade pita chips and it was a great combo. Five hummus flavors and three tahini varieties total, so there's a lot to explore. Fun to try something outside the usual classic hummus and see what you land on. Yes it's a little pricey, but honestly? Worth it. You can taste the quality and it's all organic so I get it. Also love that they do a $1 credit when you bring back your empty jar -- great little sustainability program. I always forget to bring mine back though one of these days! Worth a stop every time I'm at the Ferry Building. Grab a tub to take home, you won't regret it. read more

Second trip here, this time to take some home to Ohio in my insulated freezer bag. This time it was black bean hummus and hot Indian curry. Picked up my Costco Pita chips and hubby and I have been having snack night for dinner with Deep Eddy Grapefruit Vodka for dinner (helps get through the news). Last time we had beet, cilantro and plain hummus. I hate beets. I hate cilantro....I went back for more. Who knew beets and cilantro could taste so good.The black bean and the hot Indian curry were also delicious. Hubby wanted another "snack night"with the black bean andbtge curry hummus and this time it was for the hummus, not the alcohol. This place is conveniently located near Acme Bread. You won't find these flavors elsewhere. If you want to take some home, I had a 10 hour trip. My freezer bag etc kept my hummus cold in a checked bag. When I return in December, my Costco Pita chips are waiting me to return to Obour. read more

The kiosk is across Amce bread. Their hummus is delicious! Very interesting variety blends. I love hummus and this place make me feel I still know so little about it lol. Staff is very friendly. It's inside the ferry building, busy and lively. read more

Have been getting hummus, Garlic Toum and Pita Chips from Obour for the past 3 years or so- I love that they don't use seed oils in any of their products. The garlic toum is very versatile, it's great in sandwiches, etc. Their hummus is also excellent, I usually finish mine within two days. I also love their pita chips ( it's hard to find pita chips without canola or sunflower oil) I'm so happy Obour uses Olive Oil. Employees are always friendly too! Please check out their counter at the ferry building and support this business!! read more

Best hummus ever! All of his varieties are excellent, but the berbere is my favorite. His pita chips are also some of the best I've ever had. read more

Obour Foods (OF) at the Ferry Building Plaza Marketplace is in a small corner stall inside the marketplace. I've run across the family owned and house made hummus at the Clement, Stonestown, Outer Sunset farmers markets, as well as the North Beach FM. OF offers a pricey, well made classic hummus with variations, as well as pita chips to accompany them. Staff is very nice, patient, and helpful with questions on the varieties of hummus. Yes try all the samples! Favs: * Classic Hummus * Black Bean Hummus * Zhoug Hummus * Hot Curry Hummus * Chipotle Hummus * Garlic Toum The Classic Hummus is an excellent basic hummus but when I want something different I'll pick up the other varieties. My favs are the BLACK BEAN, CHIPOTLE, ZHOUG and GARLIC TOUM. Really love the Garlic Toum because it's great on grilled or roasted meats. I'll pick up a rotisserie chicken, the Garlic Toum, and some veggies for a quick, hearty, tasty meal! Saving, untried, for my next visit is the Toasted Tahini. Wherever you find Obour Foods Hummus, pick up a few varieties and pita chips for snacks, light meal, and impromptu outings. See you there! read more

Treat yourself to delicious Hummus, Toum or Tahini infused with spices. Skip the store bought stuff using inflammatory industrialized (ultra processed using high temps and solvents!) soybean or sunflower oils - and go for the more flavorful, natural and healthy option. At first your eyes will pop at the price which is almost double what regular store bought hummus would cost. But Obour uses ingredients of a much higher quality. Even more important, it passes the taste test. I've had "The Classic" and "Hot Curry" hummus. Both are excellent. Their products remind me of a Persian Ice Cream Shop in LA that uses an infusion of spices that you wouldn't expect, but make so much sense after you try them. Highly recommended. read more

I only ever had chain store bought hummus before, never freshly made, small batch hummus. I couldn't believe the Obour difference in rich taste, creaminess and quality ingredients. Dipping french bread in the garlic hummus and enjoying it on the ferry from San Francisco to Vallejo, on a beautiful day, was a simple, delightful culinary pleasure. A 5star restaurant would have a hard time matching that experience. Needless to say, the 8-oz tub was almost empty by the time the ferry docked in Vallejo. Wonderful hummus, very nice, accommodating manager. read more

From their small storefront inside the Ferry building I ordered a few jars of their flavored hummus for takeout and found them all very delicious - berbere, hot curry, and beets. The service was fast. read more

Pricey but delicious, healthy hummus. They have a variety of unique flavors you can't find anywhere else, and the flavors are complex. Service is very good--you can sample different flavors and he was very helpful! Great location at the Ferry Building. There may be a line and the clientele seems to include both locals and tourists. I love the jars, too! read more

Creamy, garlicky heaven! Highly recommend trying their garlic toum or gochujang toum. The gochujang is faint, but the base is still delish. You can find their shop near an entrance within the Ferry Building. Not sure what to get? Help yourselves to sample as much hummus or toum as you want from their open trays. The owner even told us that when we return jars, we get a discount on the next purchase! read more

I stumbled across this stand at the Belmont farmers market this morning. Jennifer was very knowledgeable about all the products, and I was able to sample everything. The garlic toum was amazing lol. I immediately said I was getting that. I know it's a spread, but I'm definitely using it on some steak or chicken tonight lol. The hummus was very good too. I got an original one. I didn't plan on going to that booth, but because of Jennifer's warm smile when I walked by, I thought I'd see what the hummus was about, and I'm glad I did. Thank you read more

Dropped by on a lunch break and let the gent working know I was a huge hummus fan, but not sure of what I was looking for. He was super patient and conversational, and I walked away with two jars and some of their amazing toum which I could honestly put on anything. Pick up some bread from Acme 20 feet away and you have the perfect pairing. read more

I found this place through TooGoodTo Go App. I had a day off and was able to take advantage of this pickup. Yah! Glad I did. I like Hummas like an average person that eats it once in a while. I wondered why people would pay $9 for just one jar of Hummas, when you can buy Hummas in grocery stores with mass production Hummas cost under $4 and is just ok. But this place which also shows up at farmers markets is an exception. Fresh and made locally in San Francisco with great quality and you can bring back the jar for a slight discount for you next order with them. :) Of all the Hummas I ate I rank this at number one. My second place will be oren's hummus restaurant with their fluffy pita. Yummy in my tummy for sure. I am eager to try the other flavors of Obour Foods flavors of Hummas. They even have spicy ones! read more

Obour Foods - Wow, surprisingly yummy and handmade in San Francisco! You can return the jar to farmers market to get $1 off next purchase - Specialty Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm in love with their garlic spread. I can eat the whole tub and have garlic breath for a week. It is so creamy but i don't taste the cream, just the garlic. It needs to be refrigerated. It will keep only for one week. It's inside Ferry building. Near the entrance towards embarcadero. They open 10 to 4 pm. read more

The hummus here is packaged so well and is delicious! It's hard to find the stand inside the embarcadero building, it's located right next to one of the entrances. They have unique flavors and twists on hummus! I bought three and enjoyed the flavors. Will come back the next time I am in the ferry building and try their chips. read more

Relatively new kiosk in the Ferry Building serving a multitude of uncommon hummus flavors. Unfortunately, it often seems closed so you'll have to rely on luck to buy any. Oh, and sometimes the hummus is partially frozen, which is weird, but a little thawing at home solves that. Zhoug Hummus: Wow, so much personality in this hummus. And a nice kick too. I guess I can abandon the old mantra that hummus is bland. A very intense flavor sensation, so a few scoops on a chip should be enough to satisfy your craving. Gochujang Hummus: Another hummus with much personality. I was expecting this to be really spicy, but instead it was very garlicky. Don't get me wrong, it did have a spicy kick, but it wasn't tongue numbing. Maybe all the chickpeas and tahini neutralize the gochujang a little? But the garlic was strong in this one and perfect for garlic lovers like myself. Though you might want to skip this if you have a meeting or a date later on. Pita Chips: Way better than most pita chips I've had. I think the difference is that they are baked, rather than fried, so they're not greasy. However, they still maintain a great crispiness. I especially love how the pita doesn't clump into one 2-ply piece, like many pita chips, but partially separates. So the single ply pita layer you can break off is flaky and light. read more

The first thing I say is when Obour Foods opened last Sunday, I couldn't wait to try its specials! It's one specialty foods I hit on before I missed. La Cocina use to make business in this spot every weekdays. Now that Obour Foods used this spot, it opened every weekends. It's a perfect moment to make my move. Before I had to buy one jar of normal hummus and a tub of pita chips, a friendly cashier asked me to try some samples. Why not?! Sampling new blend of herbs and spices was part of my adventure, like sailing into the Mediterranean Sea to travel from one ancient city to another. First sample: hot curry. This 4-point spicy hummus definitely knocks my skull after one bite size! Madras curry is what would be on my bucket list if I ever find one in my cuisine. Second sample: Zhoug. This second spicy hummus had a familiar hint of cardamom. After popping a hummus/pita chip into my mouth, whoa! That really burned a bit from inside my nostrils (not as brutal as wasabi). Zhoug spice is a must-try for adventurous consumers. The next day after I bought my jar of normal hummus, I had to finish a few spoonful at a time. It's best to keep it in the fridge after opening for best result. It'll start to ferment after another day. read more

Excellent, yummy, beautiful vegan food. I am an omnivore but truly enjoyed this experience. Like someone else said, the Gochujang toum is delicious but not like the Korean pepper paste. It really complimented the blandness and chalkiness of the black beans in that hummus. I also liked the eggplant in the black bean hummus. Service with a smile in the beautiful ferry building. read more

Taste is amazing and quality can't be beat. Taste and quality explain the pricing. It is well worth the price and I need to go more frequently. I met the owner the other day and he is awesome. Definitely recommend and will be going more frequently to buy their products going forward. Must try this place. Love that you can bring back the plastic tub with addictive pita chips and the glass jars that contained the tahini, hummus, or toum and get a $1 off your next purchase. Happy to see incentives to recycle their packaging. read more

Just got two containers of hummus. Best hummus we've ever had. Can't wait to spread the word to our friends back in North Carolina

We are such big big fans of Obour! From Berkeley Farmers' Market or San Ramon Farmers' Market and Ferry Building location, their products are not to be skipped. The pita chips and Toum classic are insanely good! We will definitely get some more to share with friends and family, for wine pairing at Thanksgiving and the holidays celebrations! Obourrific!! read more

Love their organic 4-ingredient garlicky Toum with Pita Chips. Toum (translation garlic) is a staple in the Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine as it is the world's strongest garlic dip. This bold one-of-a kind heavenly condiment is gar-lick-y goodness and quite versatile in the kitchen. Creamy light texture akin to mascarpone with a pungent aroma of lemon and garlic, and a mouth-watering tongue-tingling flavor are a perfect union. Enjoyed very much as a dip and spread or by the spoonful to add a burst of allium to favorite indulgences. Wonderful balance goes exceptionally well with savory barbecue, or humdrum charcuterie. Vegan alternative to lackluster mayonnaise and perks up any sandwich or soup. "Most dear actors, eat no onions nor garlic, for we are utter sweet breath", William Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Unfortunately, as Shakespeare implies, garlic's smell is as potent as its taste, and can linger on diners for days. Deliciously addictive. Garlic is life! read more

Super delicious inspired hummus and toum! I've had all their versions of hummus a few times: Classic, Black Bean, Hot Curry, Zhoug, Berbere, and Red Beet, and everyone of them is spectacular (minus one of the aforementioned, which is very good, but doesn't get the "spectacular" rating imo). Get some bread at the nearby Acme, buy the delicious hummus at Obour, and sit at a nice bench with a beautiful view of the bay and dip and eat. Life will be good. Then at home, hard boil some eggs, slab some gochujang toum on it, and be in a great mood for the rest of the day! A bit pricey, but the value is there with the 5 star taste! read more

This place has a lot of potential and with their fresh, natural, and delicious ingredients could have rated a 5 except for the following which brought it down: -The pita chips, although baked (not fried) and nicely thin and crispy, were way overly salted. They were also overbaked to the point of having that bitter burnt taste! -the pita chips are way way overpriced being housed in one small takeout container which doesn't hold a lot of pita chips and overpriced at $4. I only bought them because there was no Hummus Heaven at this market and I told my son I would be bringing pita chips. I'll never come back here for pita chips because I can get 5 times as much and better tasting ones for the same price at Hummus Heaven! -they only have 3 flavors of hummus and although they are made with fresh and pure ingredients, they too are way overpriced at $9 for a small container. Other places have more flavors and the same fresh and pure ingredients for almost half the price! I don't think I'll be coming back here again because their products are so overpriced for what little you get and as I said above, the pita chips are overly salty to a fault and burnt. But they do have a lot of potential and their quality of food is great! read more

Yes, this hummus is really good.

I have gotten premade hummus before, and they don't usually taste that great. I saw the Too Good To Go deal and thought to try it. The staff behind the counter is so nice and explained their product based on my taste. I got 3 full sized glass jars and got to try the excellent hummus! I immediately had the hummus with bread the same night and thought it was just excellent. I would stop by again and recommend Obour to anyone! read more

I purchased hummus from this vendor at my local farmers market that fermented and exploded upon opening even though it was prior to the expiration date. This happened 4 times!!! Two different flavors were purchased that spoiled. I kept trying because I liked the product and thought maybe I'd try one more time. When I approached the owner about the issue, he was so rude and cavalier, basically didn't care that a consumer complained.He tried to blame my refrigerator. Of course nothing else has spoiled in my refrigerator! Someone who is selling a food product should be concerned about it's safety and shelf life and not giving a damn is not acceptable. I hope others speak up and hold him accountable. I also agree with some of the other reviewers about the chips. They are burnt and over salted. read more
