Organic protein has a new alias and it's called Hummus Republic. Look, I'm not going to kid you, I was prepared to roll my eyes at this joint but I really did enjoy Gyro Garden Bowl. It was fresh, tasty and probably overpriced but the service was quick without any upsell. I'll count that as a win in 2026. Four solid stars. read more

Healthy and convenient food can be found here at Hummus Republic! Located at the Shoppes of North Brunswick is a delicious and modern way of enjoying fresh Mediterranean food. What really stood out to me is how many vegan and gluten free options they have, and everything is halal, meaning you come here with everyone. Customize your pitas, bowls, and wraps to your liking with plenty of tender meat, fresh veggies, and delicious spreads like hummus and tzatziki! I loved the gyro which I loaded with tons of vegetables and two kinds of spreads! And with a name like Hummus Republic, you know the hummus is going to be reliable! With so many options to customize, create, and build your own meal, you are going to love it here. The staff will take care of you - it's very efficient here. And the ambiance was modern and clean with lots of spacious seating. Dine in, take out, or delivery - regardless of how you order, you will be guaranteed freshness in every bite! read more

My first experience with this restaurant could not have been better. I ordered a gyro bowl. It was fresh, delivered fast and even can with a second bowl free!!! Service was accurate and timely read more

PROs - food taste mostly good , ambience , price , parking and seating CONs - felafel could be more crispy and fresh I rarely give 5 stars .. this place deserves it . Have a 4 star on food , because I felt the felafels could be more crispy and hot . They were a bit dry and felt not fresh . Even with this , I would want to give a 5 star overall .. Very nice location and I loved the ambience overall. Lots of place to sit and dine, both inside and outside .. I liked the outdoor seating arrangement . Lighting and ambience was good inside . Service was good . I lied all varieties of hummus . We tried 3-4 varieties and it tasted good . Nice and quick service . Parking was good . Tesla chargers available close by . A very good experience overall ... read more

They make online ordering super easy but unfortunately my meal wasn't made as ordered. Perhaps there are too many options? You can get a bowl, pita or wrap. Then pick couscous, various greens and your protein, hummus then tons of toppings. I went with a bowl with chicken and falafel. The chicken was dark meat. It was ok but that's not my preference. I would probably skip that next time. Falafel was good and had a little bit of a kick. They forgot to add hummus to my bowl! What I had was good but would have been better with hummus. The portions were generous for the price $12. I would go back and order in person to ensure accuracy. read more

The Hummus Republic - Falafel Fusion Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - North Brunswick Township, New Jersey

Such a great spot for quick lunch or dinner pickup! Amazing staff, they went above and beyond (even made fresh pita chips). Such a fresh and filling bowl packed with nutrients! I got half lemon chicken and half chicken shawarma with almost all the toppings other than the jalapeños and topped with the lemon dressing and a little bit of jalapeño. Even eating in, it's a really nice spot for casual dining! Would come back for sure read more

The Hummus Republic - Kale Protein Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - North Brunswick Township, New Jersey

Glad to see this place open us as the North Brunswick area was missing a mediterranean place that's quick and light (not that there aren't mediterranean options, but it's a tad bit more formal and proper and maybe too heavy for lunch). Think Cava-lite spots. For someone like me who works from home, this ends up being a nice change-of-pace option. It seems that the place opened not too long ago. It's pretty easy to order - Chipotle style of course, with a few twists compared to its rivals. What interested me at first is that there were more vegetarian/vegan proteins outside of falafels. There was a vegan beef & a mushroom shawarma. I passed on both and stuck with the falafel bowl. The bowl itself wasn't bad. Got a good serving of food for lunch. Plenty of falafel balls, though if I could present a minor suggestion, it would be to make them more crispier. There were plenty of toppings per the menu, but I didn't see all of them available. Maybe first month adjustments? Also, if there was a way to label them, that would be real nice for someone like me. For nearly $15 it's pricey, but at least the food was good. I'll probably swing back here again. read more

Lots of parking in the convenient Shoppes in North Brunswick. Consider this Mediterranean Chipotle. I was really intimidated to try but it's very easy to understand and everything is build your own. 4 stars instead of 5 for the staff and lack of descriptions. I wish they offered descriptions of certain items, like tahini, harissa, etc. I asked the girl what the most popular item was and she just responded with a bowl. You pick a base - couscous, chickpeas or lettuce (spinach, kale and a mixed green option), proteins (vegetarian, lemon chicken, shawarma chicken, falafel, chickpeas) and toppings. You choose everything as you go. The food is very fresh. I wish the falafel had been hot but that's ok. Lemon chicken is in a thick cream sauce (I didn't realize that until after ordering). I had the roasted red pepper sauce and the jalapeño citrus sauce. Mango lemonade had a weird flavor to it. I wouldn't get it again. There were plenty of other options available. Good sized portion. Could probably split the bowl if you plan properly. Quite expensive at $14 for the bowl and $3 for the drink. read more

Brand new place in our town. We placed the order online and picked it up. The order was ready in 10 minutes. The place is modern and super clean. I ordered the build your own bowl. There are lots of great choices. I added: warm garbanzo beans and farmers mix as my base, traditional hummus, Tzatziki, and harissa hummus, lemon chicken and falafel, and all of the free unlimited toppings. Everything tasted great. Nice,portion. Very filling. . Tried the Moroccan hot sauce, lemon olive oil, and grandma's hot sauce dressings. They were all good, too. Will definitely come back to try other menu items read more

I enjoy Hummus Republic, but was disappointed by the quality of food we received. Main areas for improvement: - Couscous was crunchy and dry - Hummus looked dry/ like it had been sitting out - Sweet potato fries were inconsistently fried (some were soggy instead of crisp, some texturally tasted uncooked) - Falafel was a bit hard (but I appreciated that it was warmed up for our order) The flavors were tasty, though the execution left us wanting. I hope it is better next time we visit! read more

This place opened a month ago and it's a great place to get quick, made to order Mediterranean food. I got the falafel bowl with greens, so many toppings and all the sauces. Love the vegan options. Go check it out! read more

Highly recommend, very fresh ingredients, friendly staff and kept clean. I've come here twice so far and ordered the bowls both times. Love the couscous it's so tiny but has flavor and mixes well with any combinations of meats and toppings. I've gotten the chicken shawarma both times because I like the spices and like it with the hummus and tzatziki spreads. Unlimited toppings! The falafel is crispy outside with soft herbaceous filling. The lemonades are all good, favorite is mango. Next time I will try the steak and lemon chicken. read more

We bought 2 bowls. Person who was making my bowl charged $2.00 extra for mushrooms and she had no answer. It says choice of 2 protein, I had falafel and mushrooms. It's not about $2.00 it's about cheating. I will not go back again. read more

Service was great! All the workers were so friendly and one in particular offered us a free drink - so nice! I tried their lemonade and it was refreshing & sweet and not too tangy. The food itself was very fresh and yummy. They cooked the falafels fresh so it was hot and crispy. I got the bowl with chicken shawarma and wow! There was so much flavor in my meal, especially from the hummus. My fave was the Harissa Hummus! My bowl was ~$15 but you could tell everything was great and good quality. There were lots of veggies so I felt good after devouring the whole bowl The place itself was very clean, music was good. Overall a nice place to chill with friends! read more

The Hummus Republic - Chicken shawarma bowl with couscous and a lot of other stuff I don't remember! - Mediterranean Near Me - North Brunswick Township, New Jersey

Banging!! The food was official tissue .. it's like a Mediterranean chipotle. I was a little intimidated by the vast variety of options. So I opted to build my own bowl and take a tour of the ingredients. I got da warm garbanzo beans wit couscous and farmers mix topped with tzatziki, zesty feta, roasted eggplant hummus, chicken schwarma, cabbage, olives, parsley, tomatoes, more feta and red onions. For starters it was a beautiful blend and high lm the spice end, which I loved. The flavors were plentiful and in abundance for sure. Now for the milkshake, this was my first time trying a vegan milkshake and that thang SLAPPED! It tasted like chocolate milk, somewhat on the slimmer end compared to the super thick milkshakes I'm accustomed too, but no complaints here. Nice chic set up and they had drake blaring in the background so it was def a vibe. Glad I stumbled across this gem. I'll totally be returning and suggesting this spot to others for sure. read more

I was disappointed to receive my order with only about 2/3 of the bowl filled. For the price, I expected a full portion. The food was just okay, and and CAVA is definitely way better. The potion size did not meet my expectations. read more

Ordered a bowl with chicken and a wrap with lamb/beef to try. Everything in the bowl was immensely salty. I couldn't finish it. The wrap was a little better but still very salty. read more

Didn't have a chance to photograph but great portions!!! I got a bowl and the chicken shawarma was really tasty, the toppings were well seasoned and the portion size is comparable/better than most "bowl" locations (ie: cava, chipotle, sweetgreen) Came with a pita too! I will be back to try more stuff as I work out in the same complex as the store. Happy opening week!! read more

I usually like shawarma but this one sucked. The chicken of the shawarma was the good part. I picked up the order so I can't speak for in restaurant service and ambiance. The shawarma had too many fruits and vegetables in it and because of that I can't taste the best part the chicken. I will never go to this place again and this place is one of the reasons I stay in Virginia because they at least have a decent shawarma! read more

Yelp can be rough but remember 4+ stars on it usually great. At last to eat here and got the vegan beef pita and side of falafel. It was excellent, fresh, and nicely spiced. **lots of Mediterranean places rely on salt less so here it seems - it's the actual spices that work. Tons of modulations, options. Can't wait to go again. Servers also friendly and make suggestions. Seating nice spacious and clean. Not sure what more to ask for! read more

We used Hummus Republic Catering for our family event. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The quality of the food was exceptional - everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The build-your-own bowls and pitas were a huge hit with our guests, offering a variety of delicious options to suit everyone's tastes. The hummus was creamy and perfectly seasoned, and the toppings were plentiful and vibrant. The service was equally impressive. Having guests with various dietary preferences, Mahir was very thoughtful with helping me choose our menu items and Delivery was on time! Mahir made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We received numerous compliments from our guests about the food! Top-Notch! We will definitely be using their services again in the future! read more

I got the mushroom wrap and everything about it was very good except for the mushrooms themselves. I think if you would like to try this place out, go for the falafels or meat as your protein. Ambiance, service, and everything else was awesome. read more

I have wanted to try this place for sooo long. Finally When I did make an online order it came WITHOUT any hummus which was my sole purpose of ordering. (I LOVE hummus). I reached out on IG and via email I did not hear anything back so this is why I am leaving my reviews here. read more

Stopped in without anything about it and wow we were so thrilled! Better than cava chipotle all of it!

Ordered catering for a small group and it was a hit. Delivery was prompt and they helped set up. The salads, toppings, sauces, and dips were all delicious and I loved the variety. I was told the lemonade was not too sweet which is good. I personally thought the falafel was a little too salty but I'm excited to try the mushroom shawarma next! read more

Only one visit so far, but I'm impressed. High quality ingredients, helpful staff, delicious and convenient.

Bit of a joke. Expensive bowls and when you tell them no rice, they put barely any chicken or lettuce in there, that I had to put some homemade chicken in there. And what little was in there didn't have much of a taste. If you expect people to pay these prices then provide them a decent portion rather than skimping out. read more

Not at all what I expected. Food is super fresh and very tasty. You get to pick everything you want in it and although many items were not familiar to us we tried them and really enjoyed the meal read more

What a disappointment. Was really looking forward for a nice hummus/shawarma spot in the area. Everything was tired from the salads to the employees. Pita's are pocket-less and tasteless, chicken shawarma didn't resemble a shawarma and looked like it was sitting there for a week. Hummus spreads were tasteless, zesty feta spread was the only spread with taste. Will not go there again. read more

Stopped by just to try some hummus and chips. Got the Eggplant Hummus and Traditional Hummus with the 2 hot sauces on the side. Best things were the crispy chewy fried pita chips. The hummus is fine, but adding a little hot sauce to it helped. Should get one more little scoop for the $6. Dinner was good. Nice fresh food and ingredients. A little pricey for what you get though ($15) Ordered a bowl with almost all of the toppings except for onions. Ask them for a pita on the bottom of your bowl so it is more filling. The fresh Jalapeño Cucumber drink was so good. Filled up my $3 cup 2 times. read more

The food was very delicious, if you want to eat where you have healthy choices this is the place for you. Service was fast and friendly, making sure you understood different options. Nice clean atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

I'm sorry but the food is horrible. I was actually excited to try since I love hummus but this place "wants to be like CAVA" but is not. Very similar ingredients to CAVA but taste awful. I got chicken shawarma bowl and my husband got steak bowl, both meats were waaay too dry, mushrooms tasted like a rubber-dry, all 3 types of hummus impossible even to mix in a bowl because they are so dry... everything is just so so dryyy whyyyyy. Sorry but I'll take CAVA instead. read more

Wow wow wow. We had such a happy accident finding this place on Sunday and loved it so much we drove 40 minutes out of our way to bring my mother back on Monday! The folks are nice. The food is delicious. They are so accommodating. We wanted healthy, flavorful, and veg friendly and this place blew our minds. The falafel was wonderful and is made to order. I was there with an Israeli and even she agreed giving the falafel 2 thumbs up. The mushrooms have so much flavor. The variety you can get in greens, hummus, protein, veggie toppings, and sauces is awesome. The flavored lemonades too. I seriously couldn't wait to bring my mom back. Really hope they keep expanding locations so I can go more often. read more

Excellent food, prompt service, comfortable atmosphere. Will absolutely be returning.

I recently ordered catered food for 50 people for a baby shower, and the service was excellent! Sahil was very professional and responsive to our many questions. Everything was ready right on time, just as we ordered it, on the day of the event. We received many compliments from our guests, who said the food was delicious and asked where we purchased it. Thank you, Hummus Republic of North Brunswick! read more
