    Chicken Skewer Hummus Moroccan Beef Green Herb Falafel Fries
    Shelly L.

    Had such a great experience at Oren's Hummus! The falafel was phenomenal, the beef hummus was amazing, and the steak fries were absolutely delicious! The chicken thigh skewer came with two sides of your choice, which made it a great value for the price. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

    Hummus with chicken

    I came here with a few friends for dinner at my friend's suggestion. We got there around 5, and there was no one in the restaurant. It filled up a bit more as we ate. I'm usually not a big hummus fan. I'll eat it if it's there as a snack/appetizer, but not as the main meal. I ordered the lamb hummus. It was very flavorful, and went perfectly with the fresh pita. The pita was warm and soft. I didn't think it would fill me up, but I was so wrong. Overall, I would recommend checking this place out.

    Birthday lunch with my best friend! We had plans in the area so she picked Oren's Hummus for her celebratory meal. The food was decent and the service was fast. We came on a weekday afternoon. The restaurant is decently sized, cute, and super casual with indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated immediately and well cared for by all workers. My best friend and I split the Hummus Chicken and Australian Lamb Skewers. The hummus chicken was good and well seasoned with lots of hummus. The skewers were fine but only came with a few pieces of meat which were tough to cut into but were tender. The rice was fine but not too soft and the veggies were alright. I wouldn't be opposed to trying something else. Oren's Hummus is a fast-casual chain. Their location in Yerba Buena off 3rd Street is good. Street parking is tough but it's near garages and public transportation.

    Pita sandwich is great! Lots loaded inside and a generous helping of hummus sauce Eggplant dips are delicious. there are 5 eggplant choices to choose from. If you order the chicken skewer plate (which is so juicy and delicious), you also get a choice of 2 dips. Also hummus and yogurt dip choices Beautiful space inside

    Hummus Sabich
    Lori H.

    Go-to spot for delivery, work lunch catering or a quick lunch spot in FiDi. We usually get lamb skewers, salads, and I love the hummus sabich (with friend eggplant). They also have whole wheat pita. The restaurant itself is never busy, and it's also great to take to go and eat at Salesforce Park.

    Chicken schnitzel pita
    Helen L.

    To go. Chicken Schnitzel pita. Their.pita bread is super thick, soft. Choice regular or wheat. Their hummus is lovely. Service was super kind.

    I could not have asked for a better dining experience at Oren's Hummus. My boyfriend and I had a lunch date after his conference at Moscone Center (just 5 minutes walking distance from the restaurant!) I've had Oren's Hummus on my bucket list for quite some time, but it wasn't until today that I had the chance to try their food. Everything we ordered was SO DELICIOUS! I'm a sucker for soft pita, and I was not disappointed when our waitress brought our pitas freshly-baked. We could see the steam when we tore the pitas apart! We also shared the chicken kebab platter (our 2 sides were the Israeli salad and beets), baba ghanoush, hummus, and a beef kebab a la carte. Standouts for me, aside from the pita, were the baba ghanoush and beef kebab! Would 100% come back again!

    The best part is that walk-in brunch without a reservation is super easy. Bright and airy space. Decent food. Bottomless mimosas at the SF location only but found them to be mostly oj and too sweet. But fun alternative to the usual egg-forward brunch. The dip sampler is a nice mezze platter to share but wish they could swap out one of the three eggplant dips for something else. Really enjoyed the rice bowl with the beef kebab. Flavorful turmeric rice, moist meat, and bright herbs. Service was friendly. Pretty chill so you can hear each other but not an energetic spot by any means. Still good to have as a brunch standby in Union Square.

    Aareyas- delicious!
    Supriya C.

    Enjoyed their menu special Aareyas today- with some Moroccan carrots and eggplant salad as sides- delicious and super filling. Also really great and attentive service. Perfect place for a casual dinner to catch up with friends. Enjoyed dinner and appreciate the staff for letting us hang out while they were closing up.

    I only ordered the best hummus I have ever had. The jaffa hummus was thick and garlicky. A 100++. Had mt. Hernon white wine which was a perfect pairing. I am so happy I came. The staff explained everything checked in to make sure I was happy. Saw another patron about lick his dish and I thought I will be doing that next.

    Large Israeli Salad
    Lenore N.

    What a delicious meal of small plates and other Israeli specialties. A variety of silky hummus offerings, several eggplant dishes and roasted cauliflower make this a vegan delight. Israeli salad was classically prepared and the falafel was crispy and flavorful. My friend is gluten free and they had gluten free pita available. I took an order of beef kabob home to my husband and it was flavorful with a nice choice of sides. Israeli French fries are usually thick cut and these were piping hot with just the right amount of salt. It looks like they do a brisk takeout and delivery business and there are cases of prepared offerings to take home. When the server found out it was my friend's birthday, she brought over some lovely, flaky pastry.

    I came in for a weekend late lunch, and had an excellent dining experience with service and food quality. The restaurant was pretty quiet, with plenty of indoor seating. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu as well as the kitchen processes. This was particularly helpful as I am vegetarian and I have celiac (strict gluten-free), so I worry about cross-contamination. They were very well aware of celiac, and how to make appropriate accomodations (e.g., separate area in kitchen, pita heated separately). I got the roasted vegetable skewer with muhamarra, jaffa-style hummus, and gluten-fre pita bread. Each component of the dish was wonderful! The gluten-free pita was soft, warm and fluffy. The muhamarra was a very unique dip; it was savory, red peppery and creamy. The hummus was thicker, and fresh with some pine nuts. The meals are on the pricier side, but I had no issues with any of the flavor! Overall, excellent choice for a nice mediterranean meal. However, a few days later I went for take-out, and ordered a gluten free pita sabich (eggplant) sandwich with a side of fries. Unfortunately when I got back to my hotel, I discovered they had given me a chicken sandwich instead. Due to distance and time constraints, I had to discard the sandwich, and ate the fries. I approached the restaurant later, and they handled the situation well, so I stuck with a 5/5 overall rating mainly due to quality of the dining-in meal.

    I was in the area and happy to see a familiar brand I liked. I have been to a few of their other locations around the bay. The decor is similar to the one I frequent and the food was, not surprisingly, the same. I got a hot apple cider since it was a cold day which was a nice start. We got the sampler appetizer which was OK. The beef kebab was good. I got it with the labane and muhammara (had to pay more) which were both good too. Solid meal overall.w

The Stuffed falafel was so good and huge 1 is enough for 2 people. The mosabaha was very refreshing and so good. The meat combo was good overall and everything was very herbally spiced, I wasn't impressed by the lamb tho but the kebab, hummus, and chicken were great! I haven't had Mousakhan before so not sure how it should taste but to me it was sweet and savory with really well cooked chicken. I honestly felt pretty healthy overall cause I was eating hella veggies and everything tasted so fresh. The kunafa was good we got it crispy and was yummy imo but was a lil oily (I think this is normal tho). Arab food isn't really spicy but it is spiced and very herbal which I felt in the food here, I appreciate that chili sauce is provided for the spice lovers. Overall, would highly recommend. It was about $100ish for everything and they recently increased their prices but tbh the portion sizes are huge and I feel like it is so worth it we had hella leftovers.

I think the sauce should have been on the side. The rest of the dish was good. 4/5 LAMB KEBAB PLATE ~ this was my dish. I touched my skewers thinking they were going to be hot, but it was surprisingly cold. I'm not sure why skewers would be cold when the food should be hot right off the grill. The lamb was cooked medium rare as I requested, though there was little to no seasoning. So it was kind of gamey and tasteless 3/5 RACK OF LAMB PLATE ~ my partner chose this dish. The lamb was also very light in seasoning. The pistachio rice was interesting and nutty. Asparagus was good. 3.5/5 MIXED GRILL PLATE ~ our friend enjoyed this dish.

Chocolate mousse cake was decadent and moist. 4/5 Beautiful presentation on the plating of our food, though the timing for the food wasn't quite right as a few plates were served room temperature and not hot.

The best part of this dish was the yogurt sauce, which was perfectly creamy, savory, and tangy, and which went perfectly with the other components. Overall, the flavors of the food here were all on point and worth the price. The service, however, was slow and not particularly attentive.

    Strolling around Valencia Street chilling and checking out the stores, shops and restaurants…read more Wanted to have a light early dinner so decided to try Anatolian Tavern. We liked their outdoor parklet and table seating (we had our dog with us). One of the few places that cater to al fresco dining. We initially walked past this restaurant and the waiter told us to sit down and give their food a try. We told him we would come back... which we did. Along with a glass of wine we ordered their Hummus cold mezes, Borek hot mezes and the Kubasi Pide flat bread the waiter recommended. All three items were excellent! Hummus was smooth and rich flavored, served with their house made seasoned bread was delish! Ask for more bread. The Borek was crispy light and flakey with the cheesy center. Wow so good! The finale was the Kubasi Pide flatbread. Nice crisp golden brown crust with savory meaty filling. Beautifully crafted and served on a wood platter. Service was wonderful and the vibe was satisfying.

    I was very interested to try this restaurant after seeing some of the dishes online…read more I brought my family for a late dinner and we absolutely loved the vibe and the interior decor. The staff were super nice and accommodating, despite us getting there so late/close to closing time. After a round of beers, we tried several dishes, including the lahmacun, the pastirma pide, the falafel salad, and for dessert, the rice pudding. I definitely preferred the pides and the rice pudding was delicious! However, I was not a huge fan of the lahmacun. It was bland despite the side veggies, and desperately in need of salt. All the savory dishes would have benefited from a bit more salt, in fact. Overall, still a very good meal and I recommend trying it!

    I had heard many great things about Beit Rima and was super excited to finally try it with my…read morepartner and parents. When we got there, it was extremely busy inside and outside, but despite the anticipated wait, we were seated within 5 minutes or so. As a heads up, the Cole Valley location is very small. There is seating inside and outside, but it is pretty loud inside (not that it detracted from our meal). We noticed there was a lot of take out orders coming through, so it seems like this place is equally popular for takeout, which makes sense given it's small size (they do not take reservations). We started off with the mezze sampler, which has lebna, muhammara, baba ganoush, hummus, pickles, and falafel. We all loved the sampler, although we noticed it didn't come with a lot of pita bread. Since most of our entrees were also coming with pita bread, it wasn't an issue. I particularly enjoyed the lebna, which was super creamy but had a nice tang that rounded out the flavor. The hummus and baba ganoush were also very good, and the muhammara was rich and had a great flavor. My mom got the falafel platter, my dad got the grilled hanger steak, my partner got the musakhan and I got the chicken shish tawook plate. My mom really enjoyed the falafel platter. It was super loaded with falafel, baba ganoush and hummus. The falafels were really good. They were nicely fried, but still had a soft and tender interior. My dad liked the hanger steak, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The green zhug sauce was interesting, and the freekeh had a nice nutty and earthy flavor. Our favorites were the musakhan and the chicken shish tawook plate. The musakhan had a really interesting sweet/savory spiced flavor, and was complemented really nicely with the caramelized onions, sumac, pine nuts and toasted pita. The skin had a nice crispness but the chicken was super tender. The chicken shish tawook was definitely my favorite. The chicken had an incredible, charcoal-grilled taste and was super tender without being dry or overcooked at all. This was the best bite I've had all year, and I loved dipping the grilled chicken in the lebna, muhammara, baba ganoush and hummus that remained from our sampler plate. Highly, highly recommend this place. Super reasonable prices for generous portions of super flavorful food. Next time, we'd love to try the lamb shank and branzino.

    Tried to join Yelp waitlist before arriving but seems like a bunch of people had the same idea…read morebecause our table was ready immediately after even though the estimated wait time was 45m. As a result, it seems like the waitstaff don't hold your reservation for 5m, as we were taken off 2m after getting the phone call. Finally got seated outside on a windy day, which made for a chaotic experience (they should probably reconsider the standing table numbers that kept falling). Order and pay inside which was seamless. The food itself was delicious (though sitting outside in the wild made it cool quickly) and I loved the ful and musakhan! They also were kind to bring us extra warm pita. Overall, a hectic memorable adventure for yummy food.

It was like eating in a private garden, surrounded by a nice floral arrangement. The food was superb. Highest quality. The salad appetizers were fresh & crunchy. The feta cheese & small lavash breads were a great way to start. See the mains in the photos. My lamb chops & beef/lamb skewer was excellent. My sons raved about their salmon & beef. The rice was perfect: real longer grained basmati, delicately spiced, with hints a saffron. I loved the roasted tomato, raw onions, cilantro, & mint leaves. Of course plenty of lavash. Easily a 4.5. I'd give a 5, but my wife said her chicken was a little dry. Still tasty, especially with her rice that had raisins, dates, & lentils. Maybe nit picking, but overall good. The Napoleon with a scoop of raspberry ice cream was excellent. This Napoleon wasn't so creamy, but more about layers of cake. More complex than the usual variant. I'm a fan. The drinks were on point. Great ambiance & waiter. Great portions & value for this level of quality. Lavash takes pride in what they do. We will be back for great Persian cuisine.

    I'm generally pretty indifferent about mediterranean food, but this place really impressed me!…read more Every dish I tried had amazing flavors, and everything was prepared perfectly. We started off with the hummus and the moussaka (eggplant and tomato sauce). The hummus was pretty standard, but still great, and the moussaka was SO delicious. This was definitely the standout dish to me, and I'd hiiiighly recommend it. For mains, I was doing Meatless Monday, so I got the super falafel wrap. This wrap was also sooo delicious and massive! The falafel was really flavorful, and all the toppings and tahini sauce were just perfect additions. The restaurant itself is really pleasant and bright, great for pretty much any occasion. Service was also good (you order via QR code, but they bring the food out to you) and prices are reasonable given the quality and portion size. Definitely a new fav spot in SF!

    This is my second time coming into this establishment and for some reason I am not the biggest fan…read moreof it though my partner does tend to like it so that's why we've returned back a couple of times. The tables in this establishment are pretty small if you come as a party of two, and that's the part that I've been struggling with because there's nowhere for me to hang my purse usually whenever we're sitting there, and the chairs are metal, so the straps tend to slide off and I just have to end up holding my bag. I've tried their plate and wraps but I'm not blown away by the flavor profiles. The service is okay. You are seated upon entering, but you order through a QR code yourself and then that they just bring out the meal to you.
