My friend and I ate here this evening. To be honest our intent was to grab some sushi but as we walked by The Hummus Factory a complete stranger said that the food is of the charts, especially their combo meat plate. I truly believe it's a testament of the quality and taste of the food for someone to feel compelled to make a word of mouth recommendation like that. When there is a large graphic on the window that says "BIG PORTIONS, GREAT PRICE" you better live up to that claim. The Hummus Factory did not disappoint. I had the three meat combo plate with beef shawarma, beef gyro and chicken kabob. I'd highly recommend it. If I wasn't just visiting for the weekend, I'd eat here more often. read more

Delicious meal here. We had the gyro bowl, the chicken bowl, and the chicken kabob plate. If you're not starving, I highly suggest sharing the chicken kabob plate! I also enjoyed the little surprise that was the fried Pita shell that accompanied the bowls! It reminds me of a tostada salad, and I LOVE IT!! We must've come in right after the lunch rush, I expect because there was no one in, so the wait for our food wasn't long at all. Place was clean and lots of seating for big and small groups! Just a note, parking can be a bit tricky on busier days/weekends, so just keep an eye out for that! read more

It was my first time coming here and Marvin was more then helpful. Not only did he go over the menu but he also brought a separate plate for my daughter for us to put her food In & checked on us various times(: the food was so so delicious and definitely worth it. Overall customer service was great, food was amazing and the ambience was also great too. There's many little shops when leaving as well. If you're reading this Marvin, thank you again (: read more

The Hummus Factory - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

New to the area, and was in search of a Mediterranean place, and after being influenced by the reviews and somewhat decent pictures I placed an order. I had only had breakfast, so I was eager to eat! At first glance, the food did not look as appetizing as it did on the webpage, but looks can be deceiving so in I went for the first bite, and alas! it was game over! I ordered the Lula kabob plate, my son ordered the beef shawarma, and my friend ordered the chicken kabobs. The Lula kabobs looked like minced hot dogs and texturewise it was tough! I couldn't even cut through it with a fork! Flavor wise ,It was insipid. The rice seemed to be just plain old steamed rice, flavorless as well. The hummus and garlic butter were probably scooped from a Costco size jar! So disappointed! The chicken was drier than the Sahara desert, flavorless as well, and my son whose birthday meal wish was to try shawarma was utterly disgusted and disappointed. For the price point, and the raving reviews, my expectation bar was set pretty high. I was pretty disappointed and upset that I spent a pretty penny on a meal that left more to be desired. My mama always warned me to be weary of restaurants that carry the word "factory" in them. Should have listened! read more

The Hummus Factory - Beef shawarma Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

Idk how I feel about this place. I want to like it, but dang. Literally the only saving factor is the customer service. The lady at the register was super sweet in dealing with me and my gift card. Parking - SUCKS when rush meal times. BIG YIKES. Food - very forgettable and bland. I got the Falafel plate with brown rice and there was barely any flavor in anything, even the falafel! Very sad. The hummus didn't have any saving grace and the pita bread was cold and flat. Pretty disappointed with the food. Idk if it's because I got brown rice, or if the maybe the chicken/beef was way better and I should've gotten that instead, but idk. I wanted to like it, but just couldn't get myself to finish the meal. Also, price. $18 for a pretty bland Falafel plate is too steep. read more

Not authentic Mediterranean food. The chicken is seasoned with chipotle sauce and it's missing flavor.

First time here and it was great! Wanted to give kudos to Silen who took our order and even checked in as we were eating how we were doing. She was so friendly and warm. She recommended the chicken kabob plate and it was such a great deal for the amount of chicken you get. Everything is cooked to order so your food is fresh and hot. Takes about 15-20 minutes so be aware! Great options and easy parking in the back. Silen's wonderful customer service really was the cherry on top. read more

Right by the Downey commercial district next to Southgate where we had to visit our priest. Straightforward Mediterranean fare. With a Hispanic inspired menu option (burritos, etc). Salad tastes clean and fresh, service is friendly. Could do with a bigger lunch crowd since the place is huge. So go. Support your local eateries. read more

The Hummus Factory - I killed my food before I even remembered to take a photo. I'm full af - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

The food was very bland. We ordered the protein kabob combo, grape leaves, and Greek salad. The chicken kabob and Lula kabob were very dry and bland. The beef shawarma kabob had some flavor but was also dry. The grape leaves (aka Greek dolmades) had a weird tangy tasting sauce soaked into them that was not good. The tzatziki sauce was very watered down, which is sad because I paid extra for the sauce. The pita bread tasted like it came from a bag and was not toasted. The salad and hummus were OK. I would not waste your time and money coming here. read more

I got the chicken wrap today and it had to be the best thing I've ever had. 10/10 food !! Staff were nothing but friendly and sweet !

This place is conveniently located in a small plaza that has plenty of parking which is always a plus in Southern California. I walked in on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The place seem clean, organized, and well kept. It was my first time here and when I saw two different menus from two different places, the cashier explained that it was two restaurants in one: Mexican and Mediterranean. How cool! I choose from the mediterranean menu and purchased a "Chicken Kabob Plate." It was DELICIOUS. It was a very large portion but since I was hungry, I had no problem chowing down on a fresh and tasty meal. The plate comes with chicken, salad, hummus, rice (choice of white or brown) and this white cream that had a nice flavor to it. All of the flavors blended beautifully. The rice was a teeny tiny bit dry but definitely not a deal breaker. The service was amazing! The cashier was friendly, helpful and attentive. She dropped off pita bread and utensils before my order came out and she came to check on me in the middle of my meal to ask if I needed anything. I noticed she speaks English and Spanish so that is a plus for Spanish speaking people. This place is also family friendly. In the center of the dining area, you will find tiny tables and chairs for any toddlers and young children to sit in which I thought was very cute. Overall, I had a great experience and I would definitely come back. read more

2/5/2021...my brother, buddies and I just played golf over at Rio Hondo and had Hummus Factory bookmarked for lunch. We got there at 1055am and waited in the front for them to open at 1100am. Right at 1100am one of the staff member comes over and puts a note up in the front of the door saying "We Open at 1145 Sorry" (see picture). Epic fail. We dropped $60 at the Mexican restaurant next door. read more

Paying almost $20 for super burnt chicken is crazy. It was over cooked and dry. I usually come here and love the food, but this time it was ridiculous. It was not even busy so I don't get how they messed up so bad. read more

Hence they open at 11am. I went in at 11:06 am and the cashier told me that they are closed. I told her that it's 11am and she told me that they cooks are too busy. That is the weirdest interaction I ever had at a restaurant. She definitely needs to be spoken to by management. What an odd way to speak to a customer read more

The food is excellent and the service outstanding! I recommend the chicken kabob plate. Huge portion, very health for the soul and delicious! read more

PROS: + Delicious food and great service!! + Chicken kebab plate comes with rice, hummus, pita bread, and salad. I definitely want to come back to try other items on their menu. + Lots of parking (located right across the street from Porto's) CONS: - My friend ordered the baklava, and it was the tiniest portion! I wish it was served bigger considering the cost. - It's a bit pricy, but I think it's worth the money. read more

Can't wait to go to this place direct. I happened to try their garlic hummus and chips through AZ Market to Door. Sooo! good, I just wish they also offered their pitas! Nothing like a warm pita to go with hummus. The chips were really good too, I just prefer pita. The garlic hummus is truly for garlic lovers and the texture is spot on. My new go to hummus. read more

The food was way overpriced especially for how much flavor it lacked. Almost $30 for a plate. Would not recommend or go back again.

I don't like the parking lot of this place. They should really remodel it cause the asphalt is a mess. I found this place years ago through a Groupon deal. The food use to be good and decently priced here before the pandemic and I would visit maybe once a month. After the pandemic I made my last and final visit. I was shocked at how the prices had jumped and the portion sizes were smaller too. The chicken kabob was TINY and the salad that came with it was so disappointing. I remember feeling extremely ripped off. The food always takes long to come out, so call in to order or be prepared to wait more than 15 minutes if it's during the lunch rush. read more

The friendly service, when undecided they recommend. Food was perfect temp, portions awesome, flavor was great! I would recommend this restaurant for a great healthy meal! Thumbs up for me! read more

So we found a Groupon for the Hummus Factory and decided to try it out! The place is located in a cute shopping center and the staff are super friendly and nice! I ordered the falafel wrap with a side of hummus and he ordered the beef plate. Beef plate has a LOT of food! He really liked it and it filled him up. I honestly really loved the hummus and it tasted authentic and healthy. The falafels were also really delicious (I've had some not so good ones in the past) so def recommend the falafels and hummus here! Pricing was also very fair! We ordered the $20 Groupon voucher for $14 :-) FYI: It's split into 2 -$10 vouchers that you have to use separately IG for more reviews: Hungryhungryrach read more

Came in here to try this hummus factory that I had seen before. Never been here before, so I did not know what to expect. The cashier, was super nice. And super helpful. We ordered the Gyro with fries. That's a wrap with meat. They come fully loaded. Lots of meat. We also got the chicken kebab plate which came with rice, salad, and hummus. Excellent. We also got a side of hummus. The cost is seven dollars for hummus but it is a good portion. It's worth it. Very tasty. Service here was excellent. The restaurant is clean and tidy. And the music is soft in the background. We will definitely be back here again when we are in the mood for hummus, etc. Thanks for the good eats... read more

I was disappointed at my chicken kebab dish. I was expecting an authentic Mediterranean kebab dish, but instead got fillers. If you want fake Mediterranean food, you can come here, but it's not particularly great. There are plenty of surrounding restaurants which serve authentic Mediterranean dishes at the same price point. read more

04/11/2021 I got the chicken kebab plate with regular hummus and salad. The chicken is well marinated and cooked just right. The humus had a good flavor and wasn't too garlicky, just right.

Mediterranean cravings!!!! Made a quick stop for lunch. Been on a pita wrap craze. My route took me in this area today. Based on other reviews, it looked promising. So I gave it a try. I didn't know which wrap to get so I asked the cashier which one she recommended. She said the chicken. She was right! Bomb! The place is clean, huge (if dine in was allowed), and in a good location with good parking. Even though I came here for the wrap, the fries deserve an award! They were the perfect texture, size and color. Easy salt made me enjoy them more because some places just over salt their fries and that's a big no in my book. Back to the wrap. Chicken was soft and succulent and flavorful. The sauce they use was amazing. Pita wrap was superb! Only downside was not enough chicken lol I need that protein lol it was only $11 which in my opinion was well worth it for a quick lunch stop. I'm not looking to get full or get a full course meal. Just give me a good lunch and impress me with service and I'll come back if I'm in the area. And I definitely will! Service was 10/10 because the young lady was polite. And that's a big + in my opinion. Thank you for the good experience =) read more

Deliciousa on a sabato! Wow, now I admit I'm a Green Olive fan in Downey, and I decided to give this place a try & I am so glad that I did. This tops it. This is gonna be my new go-to. When we came in on Saturday after day before day lights savings it's almost as it was nuts- packed! I ordered: 2 chicken kabob plates with white rice 2 beef kabob plates with white rice = $60.50. It's expensive but it's worth it. Healthy, fresh, large portions and lots of meat !!!! Lots of parking. Made fresh :) what a goos tasting dinner! The hummus was a large portion and salad was delicious & thick tomato pieces. The dressing is so good- sweet tangy taste. Friendly service. read more

This place is better than several neighboring Mediterranean restaurants (ie. The Olive, which is bad). Good hummus, evenly dressed salad, long grained white rice, and well seasoned chicken kabob plate for $13-14. However, the chicken was a bit crunchy in a rubbery sense. It wasn't pink, so perhaps it's overcooked. Some pieces were fine, but others were crunchier. If they can improve this, I'd give them 5 stars. All items come with 2 colors of pita. And the garlic butter was actually pretty light and delicious. I usually don't like garlic butter at all. Overall, the food here feels refreshing and quality, just the chicken was oddly crunchy. read more

Nice people but this could have been so much better. 2 sandwiches and a side salad and hummus was $43 and it just was not great. Mediterranean food is very special but it has to be seasoned correctly and this was not. To be fair the hummus was decent. Get that and a side of rice with some bread and call it a day. read more

I've eaten at this establishment before. It was 5 star. 1. The service isn't like before the staff seemed miserable. The plates where not as well presented. The chicken seemed chewed. My daughter got sick after eating here and had to be taking to the emergency room. 45 mins after ingesting food. Also gave bad stomach pain to adults.​​ read more
