The plate came with a very good size wrap and a huge portion of french fries. The lavash bread of the wrap was well toasted and had nice grill marks. The chicken was tender and marinated and was drizzled with sauces inside of the wrap. The wrap also came with some veggies inside and it was delicious. A perfect combination of different taste notes and textures. Each bite was juicy and yummy. To complement the wrap, the fries stepped it up too. Extra hot, right off the fryer, slightly crispy on the outside and delicious and soft on the inside. This meal definitely filled me up and I even left half of the fries behind--the portions are very generous. The spot itself is located amongst other little cafes in a somewhat an industrial design mall. There is a good number of tables for a quick dine-in. Will come back again!

I tried the chicken shawarma sandwich with fries. The cook made everything right before my eyes. The chicken shawarma was well-marinated with tzatziki sauce and vegetables. It was a big sandwich. The fries were well-seasoned and addictive. I stuffed some fries into my shawarma sandwich, making it extra delicious. I was also served a generous portion of fries and received friendly service. The prices are reasonable considering the big portion size I received, but unfortunately, I can't make it an everyday habit because of the price. My meal cost about 17 dollars. You can eat inside the food hall, but remember that the spaces are narrow and a table may be scarce, especially during lunchtime.

The parking situation is tricky if the lot is full because the lot is super narrow and if the restaurant is full you won't find parking in their lot. Their staff is sweet and helpful.

It was super good! I also really enjoyed their hummus as an appetizer. Overall will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place!

The Hummus Bar and Grill, is an Israeli restaurant in Tarzana that has an enticing menu. Different…read moretypes of salads, kebabs, hummus, etc. There are several mouthwatering items. It is one place that always puts me in a conundrum, because there is so much here to order. Since about 6 months, they've been opening at 9 am, with an additional spread of breakfast selections. Yes, you can get the Israeli breakfast, as well a selection of numerous salads, if you are looking for something unique. Kind of a small tasting menu, if you will. I came here for lunch, to order my favorites. You have to start with small bites and I always gravitate towards the falafel. It comes with eight fresh and perfectly deep fried balls that are optimally crisped (and crunchy) on the outside, with a soft tasty green filling on the inside. That, with the accompanying tahini sauce, takes you to another place. Always consistent. Hard to come here without making a choice from the butchers section. I go for the middle eastern kabob (this time one skewer) that arrived just after it was grilled with good char, nice coloring, succulent and exploding with fragrance and taste. Each bite allowed you to taste the moist meat and its spices. For my sides, the mashed potatoes (with onions) had wonderful texture and mouthfeel. For the second side, my choice was the house hummus, good body, silky feel and a thick wholesome and smooth blend of its ingredients. It lubricates your tongue. That, when scooped up with pieces of fresh Laffa bread, really hits the spot. Service was attentive, thoughtful and informative. Need to come back often, to try more from the menu. IMHO, this could easily be the best Israeli restaurant in the Valley and to think of it, even in the Los Angeles area.

There's parking at the back, and from the front it looks like there's no place to sit but there is in the back (outdoor seating). It's not for super large groups, but I would say up to 10 people. They have falafel, kabobs, and shish- the difference between shish and kabobs is that shish are skewers with pieces and kabobs are the minced meat. I prefer the kabobs because I feel like they're softer. I don't eat beef so between the lamb and chicken, I prefer the chicken here. Falafel was also yummy. On a plate, they give you hummus, rice or potatoes option, protein, pita, veggies (can choose between tomato or pepper or both for extra). They have a variety of sauces - my personal faves are the red sauce and garlic yogurt. I've tried the hot herbal sauce with labneh and this is the spiciest on their menu. It's kind of like a green chili paste, but spice is all it is. It's not really as flavorful as the red pepper sauce which is both spicy and flavorful. One thing to note though is that the service here is pretty slow. I think probably because they need to grill it fresh.

Found this spot on Yelp and with these ratings, I just had to try it. The place did live up to my…read moreexpectations. We ordered the meat combo plate, which came with beef lula kabob as well as chicken kabob and beef kabob pieces. The plate also came with hummus and because I came with my daughter and she demanded fries, I replaced the included basmati rice for freshly made fries. In addition, we decided to order a side of baba ganoush, which was very flavorful and just so worth it. The meats were outstanding. Both, chicken and beef kabob pieces were nicely marinated, perfectly grilled and delicious. The beef lula kabob really stood out to me and it's one of the better ones I've had in LA -- very juicy, well marinated ground beef and they cooked it so the juices are trapped inside the lula and they only get released after you bite into it. What I got was a perfect bite every time and those delicious beef juices made my taste buds say Yaaaaay and nourished my soul. Overall, a very good meal at a good price and it had my wife and daughter satisfied. The spot is located on a medium-size plaza with many parking spots. The inside is clean and has about 8 tables for dining in. The service was good and friendly. A worthy local place for a quick, delicious Mediterranean food. Will come back again!
