Good place to eat in, horrible for takeout. We've gotten takeout twice here, always the same order (a few grilled beef pitas plus a few Togo dips). First time, pitas were burnt on outside, raw inside, plus missing sauces and pita for side. Second time, dips we purchased were missing the side (ie veggies). Seems like every time we come here for takeout, things are missing or quality not up to par. Not cheap either Dine in is good though. read more

After walking through the beautiful city of San Francisco and taking in the sights and sounds that included seeing a homeless guy fight a security guard in Walgreens and being harrassed for a cigarette that I don't have by a strung out older lady, I wanted to get off the streets and order a simple takeout meal to get myself back to homeostasis. Oren's was directly across from my hotel and looked like some clean middle eastern food, so I decided I needed to pull the trigger. It's a nice touch having a separate entrance for takeout, fairplay Oren. Fairplay. I went with the Chicken Skewer rice bowl with Tahini on the side. "That will be 50 cents extra." I said "what??" As I was genuinely not sure what she was referring to. "Tahini on the side is 50 cents extra..." she even shrugged her shoulders like this isn't my decision ahahaha. But I just kinda laughed and said "Uhm, okay" (Jay-Z voice). It was a maybe 6 minute wait to get my bowl, and I took it back to the hotel and demolished it. The bowl itself was delicious and I have 0 regrets, but for $19.97 it was a small portion and just not a lot of chicken. I'm finding SF to be like NYC expensive... it's crazy. I honestly would've given it 5 stars but that extra charge for Tahini on the side instead of on top was crazy ahahaha. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Nice fast service. Wish they offered more options in bottled drinks than mint lemonade. Beef/lamb pita sandwich was great and comes in a cute little box. Would return if I want one again. read more

Oren's Hummus - Pita Beef Kebab (in the dark, on the sidewalk) - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Located right next to the MoMa, Oren's Hummus is a free great choice for a casual dinner with friends or even a lunch adventure. I like getting their hummus plates which have a nice consistency and flavor (and have also gotten the schwarma). The pita bread is thick and fluffy and food comes in big portions so you'll never go hungry. There's always plenty of walk-in seating and it's clean and spacious in the restaurant. Service is also fast. Good Israeli spot to choose if you find yourself in FiDi read more

Had lunch here and definitely recommend getting a plate with hummus to share! The mint lemonade was also very refreshing.

We both got the beef pita wrap and a raspberry mint lemonade. Both were good. We actually preferred the taste of sababas kofta wrap (located a few minutes away). You be the judge. Overall 7/10 read more

Oren's Hummus - Raspberry mint lemonade - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

We came to Oren's because of their incredibly cheap bottomless mimosas - only $14 and no time limit!! They even made a lemon mimosa (not on their menu) to accommodate my friend who doesn't like citrus. We were the first ones in the restaurant for brunch, so service was quite quick, and our waiter was great about checking on us often and refilling our drinks. I loooved my French toast, and my friends really enjoyed their Shakshuka - the portions were perfectly filling. The reason I gave three stars is because there were so. many. flies. We were constantly having to swat at our food, one landed in my mimosa, it was quite gross. read more

5 stars for atmosphere, staff, and food! Amazing gluten free options, truly delicious! I had zero cross contamination issues after, would definitely go back to try more dishes! read more

I was happy to see that Oren's Hummus has expanded to San Francisco from the South Bay. This location in SOMA by the Moscone Center is very convenient. I was very impressed by the ambiance and service. I like how Oren's is unapologetically Israeli playing Israeli music and serving Israeli style food while also being modern and apolitical. The food was great and bonus that they have a happy hour menu. read more

Best hummus I've had in a long time! I use to not like hummus at all because I never had good hummus until a few years ago, so I've been wanting to try this place forever. I bookmarked Oren's a while back, but kinda stopped going to SF as frequent because of the pandemic. The parking in this area is pretty tough, I just happened to get lucky, so we were able to finally try it out. The employees were very quick to seat us and take our order. They were really nice and generous to our baby. We ordered: Mint lemonade Eggplant Hummus Jaffa Hummus Lamb Hummus Chicken Rice Bowl Overall, everything was delicious. It has by far been the smoothest and creamiest hummus I've ever eaten. I used to not like hummus because they were chunky and bland, but Oren's does it just right! I've actually already been back 3 times since my first visit. read more

out of this world! Probably the most delicious Middle Eastern restaurant in SF! I recommend whole-heartedly. read more

Ordered delivery from Oren's because we're in the middle of unpacking from our move. We have been looking for a hummus place since we moved to California, and this is the closest thing that we found similar to our fav spot in Philly (shoutout to Dizengoff)! Absolutely loved the toppings they offered on their smooth hummus- the ground lamb and the eggplant tomato stew. It was so incredible and lasted for two meals at least! We ran out of pita so I went to buy some more, so we could enjoy it for the next day. I'd recommend getting 4 pitas at least, for two orders of hummus. You'll appreciate it the next day! Also ask for the harissa!! We got the Greek salad too, which was fresh and crunchy! read more

Oren's Hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Went to orens twice in a week when visiting SFO as it's that good! Great lunch option nearby Moscone if you are there for a conference. This time kept it simple with a Greek salad add chicken and small hummus side, love the wheat pita, tried the white also - I prefer the wheat, but both great. Salad is crunchy, great portion and generously dressed with authentic creamy feta. Also tried on my first visit the dip sampler - great option if you want to try a few different dip options, it is quite eggplant heavy, loved the babaghanoush and the combination of red pepper/eggplant and the creamy labneh. Labneh here is excellent!! Hummus classic and hummus jaffah both incredible, some of the best hummus I've had. Busy place with great service and vibe, highly recommend read more

What a fantastic restaurant. Even though I live quite close, I somehow always overlooked Oren's when deciding on a place to eat out. However, finally gave it a try, and it was phenomenal! We started off with a small bowl of complementary cabbage slaw. The eggplant hummus bowl came in a large portion and was so flavorful; it had a lovely whipped texture that was unlike any store bought hummus you could find. I loved the pita bread as well - it was so wonderfully soft and pillowy. Tried some of the feta fries and chicken skewer as well - both of which were great. We were so stuffed at the end of the meal with plenty of leftovers to take home. I cant wait to come back and try some of the other menu items including the babaganoush and shakshouka. read more

I ordered the $29 lamb skewers (plural) main assuming it would be a decent meal. Turns out it's just one $16 a la carte skewer and for the extra $13 you get...some rice. (See the photo to compare) I told our waiter this seemed pretty misleading and he basically just shrugged and said "yeah, tough" Don't make the same mistake I did- if you want skewers order a la carte! read more

My friend and I went to grabbed lunch today when he was on his lunch break. He recommended this place. Walking into the restaurant the place is so pretty! Bright lights and a lot of windows that you can see the SF downtown through them. The service of the place is good and quick which was perfect for us since my friend only had an hour for his break. I tried the rice bowl they have with the falafel and it was delicious! I ate the whole bowl with the pickled cabbage they served at the side. It added such a good fresh crunch to it. We also tried the hummus on the side, and usually I'm not a hummus person but I gave it a shot this time which I did not regret! It was super good and creamy with the pita bread on the side. Definitely will come back whenever I'm in the city visiting! read more

The food was good, been here 3 times already. Solid experience with vegetarian and gluten free options.

Ohh my gosh. Hands down favorite mediterranean in san francisco. Don't even hesitate to come here. Such a cute restaurant, could be for date night or a casual lunch, super quick and friendly service as well. The interior is beautiful and spacious without being intimidating, and the experience here is just like no other. The food really blew my mind honestly. HUMMUS LAMB: wow, the first bite was actually insane. The lamb is so savory but not too salty, so rich and deeply full of flavor. With the perfectly smooth hummus, it was just perfect. Using the soft pita to dip it just completed this. 10/10!! I'm still thinking about this dish. Rice and chicken bowl: softest chicken I've ever had. The tahini sauce on the side was perfect. The rice too was fluffy and paired amazingly. The sides: falafel and small salad were perfect!!! Best falafel I've ever had. And the olives and pickles?? The olives tasted like butter. Ugh. Perfection!!!! Missing this place already. Will 100% be back. DONT HESITATE TO TRY THIS PLACE! read more

I've been wanting to try Oren's since it opened. I usually am too busy when I'm in that area to stop by, but finally had a chance. I liked how spacious and clean the restaurant was. My waitress was wonderful, understanding, and good-humored. The menu was impressive with not only a variety of items, but a variety of prices. I liked I could make a meal out of the Jaffa-style dip and Romanian fire-roasted eggplant and get two excellent homemade pitas. The food was delicious, the staff friendly, the music pleasant to hear. I can't wait to return! read more

Delicious food and excellent service! Highly recommended - don't sleep on their orange hot sauce. Almost anything there is just a vehicle for that stuff. Soooo good. Really compliments the hummus. Homemade hummus and pitas are fantastic. They also have a nice refreshing mint lemonade. Perfect spot to grab a meal before or after SFMOMA. read more

We came here because it is across from MOMA where we were going. If you like Mediterranean food it is good with shareable plates, like a variety of hummus and eggplant spreads. None of us (3) cared for their falafel, which was dry. Warning for those who can't eat cilantro, they show up in a lot of their dishes! Service was very good - attentive and friendly. We weren't rushed and they said we could hang out until our ticket time at MOMA. Ambience was good. read more

I would highly recommend this spot for anybody staying within the financial district ! My friends and I went family style so we all got to try a bit of everything we ordered! The consensus was that the shashuka was the favorite, followed by the eggplant hummus, and then the falafel rice bowl. The shashuka was very flavorful, hearty, and had a mixture of bit and small chunks, making it a perfect mixture. I will say that the amount of pita provided was a bit limiting, but that's because I could eat enough servings for three people! The hummus was amazing, the texture was thick and smooth, and the eggplant had wonderful flavor and was wet with sauce, my favorite way to eat eggplant! For being in the financial district, I'd say this place was a total win! Definitely worth checking out. Our server was also very kind and helpful, not pressuring us at all even though we stayed past closing. This spot does have a refined aura, brought together by the gigantic chandelier hanging in the middle, so dress to impress! read more

I came here with a big group during GDC and this place is great for a mid-conference meetup. Lots of room inside. Good: - I always love the food here - I always get the hummus eggplant dish. Such great portion sizes and the eggplant is super tasty. - Whole wheat pita is always so warm and fluffy. - The free salad they give at the start is always great too. Bad: - Took a while for the food to arrive - the venue was super busy so it was hard to get a handle of the servers. Overall a really solid place to go to and I love the food here, always feels like a healthy option compared to the other stuff around the area. read more

This place is really hummus with some meat tossed on top? It was good; don't get me wrong, but a huge bowl of hummus with a scoop of meat is pretty disappointing (four star) and leaving out the pitas after explicitly asking white or wheat (three stars) was the killer. Wouldn't go again read more

Not good, not authentic at all if I could give 0 stars I would. Hummus had no flavor and our food was bland.

I've been here to this location and the Palo Alto location numerous times. Love the food. Palo Alto service is on point. However in sf, it's always way understaffed. The number of times I've been here with just one server is a hit rate of 80% and the other times with the people they do have they are still inefficient. Come on Oren's Manager in SF - Fix it.its been like this for years even pre pandemic. read more

Food was amazing! Coming from a big Lebanese family who always makes quite a few of these dishes, I can say with certainty. Very authentic and delicious!

I expected "okay" but it was much better than that! For starters, looking at the photos in Yelp, I thought it was a place where you went up to the counter to order. Nope, they have table service, and the service was excellent! Nathan (I think that's the young man's name) was very friendly, helpful, and efficient ... a total pro ... the kind of service you would hope to get in a five-star restaurant! They have many different dips/sauces on the menu, so there's plenty to choose from. The chicken skewer was EXCELLENT! I couldn't believe how moist and flavorful the meat was! Part of the secret is they are smart enough to use thighs rather than breasts, which are dry and bland 99.9% of the time. After stuffing my pita with that great chicken meat, falafel, babaganoush, hummus, etc., my only disappointment was that it needed a bit of a kick. But I'd forgotten there were two hot sauces on the table! So I dribbled some on and achieved perfection! read more

Delicious food, great service, and lovely interior with crystal chandeliers. On a recent visit, I enjoyed a glass of wine along with some very yummy dishes. The green herb Falafel was delicious. I don't know why, but I always like my falafel green. Somehow I think they taste better. Whether that's true or not , I don't really know. Upon the friendly and helpful wait staff's recommendation, I also got the chicken schnitzel and hummus. For dessert, I got the chocolate babka. What an indulgent and delicious meal. read more

I absolutely loved my experience here. Ambience was lovely and we were seated so quickly. The food was spectacular! We got the beetroot hummus, whole-wheat pita, mezze sampler which came w marinated carrots and beets, and babaganoush, a Romanian eggplant dish and labne cheese. I thoroughly enjoyed everything. The hummus in particular was stellar with tender beets and mixed in with feta and pine nuts. The falafel with tahini was crunchy and served hot and the eggplant dishes all were unique and tasted great. If you like spicy condiments ask for their red and green hot sauces. Those stole the show for us and gave all our food a lovely spicy kick! I loved all the vegetarian options they had here and definitely see myself coming here again! read more

After spending the afternoon getting a does of culture at MOMA, we could not resist popping in for the early bird 3-5 pm happy hour specials. Being veg centric this is my kind of cuisine and all the samplers were interesting, some totally new. We had a bunch of spreads, soft warm pita, dusted fries and hummos w drinks wine and homemade lemonade. It was a bargain , service was right where we needed it, The interior is nicely laid out in a fast casual style. They have a very well thought out to go menu and a separate counter to handle that. read more
