I would definitely make the 20+ mile drive back to this place! Sooo delicious! From the dressing in the Greek salad to the garlic sauce! The 3 kabob entree was soooo delicious . This was my first time here but certainly not my last. If you are not familiar with the area as I wasn't be advised they are in the little shopping center that you have to enter before getting to the restaurant. I had to drive around once I realized. Parking was not too bad but it was all full. The gentleman that gave me the food was very nice. Thank you for the extra garlic sauce!
Excellent service and food quality, the only downside is in comparison to other similar food and prices the portion of the Kabobs are way smaller. I will definitely return.
I was out in LA with my business partner, looking for a Mediterranean restaurant when we came came across the Hummus house I've got to say at first we were a little skeptical because it was very quiet for a Saturday evening, but we quickly discovered when the waiter brought us variety flavors of homemade style hummus that this definitely was the real deal. The food was amazing. The rice had a great flavor. The chicken and Kafka was so juicy and the pita bread was the best we've had. I will definitely make the drive from Riverside to the hummus house in the future..Also wanted to give a shout out to for the Great Service. The server was friendly , kept our drinks full and very attentive.
I would leave pictures but my plate is EMPTY! Best Lamb Shawarma I have ever had. I also had the jalapeño cilantro hummus and together it was unreal. I live an hour away and will come back any time I fly in to LAX. Service was great, very friendly. Highly recommend!
THE JALAPEÑO HUMMUS WAS CHIEF'S KISS. The chicken was moist and juicy, and the rice was good. The chicken wrap was a small size but very tasty. The hummus was really good! The food overall was fresh. The service was good! They were very friendly and understanding because we came 20 mins before they close. My man and I wanted to eat before our long drive back home since we were from out of town. I would totally come back!
Four of us enjoyed a takeout dinner from the Hummus House recently. The interior of the restaurant is nothing to write home about, but don't let that fool you. The food is excellent. They offer a wide range of different hummus variations. Our favorites were the roasted red pepper, the artichoke, and the jalapeno cilantro. The braised lamb shank was tender and flavorful. The beef shawarma and kafta kabob were nicely seasoned, and the chicken kabobs had a nice char on the outside but were still tender and juicy on the inside. We also had the fried chicken, which is not always available. On this evening, it was. Lucky for us - because it was crispy and beautifully seasoned. Yum. All of the food had a wonderful aroma. Prices were fair and portion sizes were generous.
I'm a sucker for chicken shawarma. It's one of the best Middle Eastern foods ever. If you disagree, we might have to throw hands. Anyway, when I saw this place was walking distance from my hotel, I knew I had to try. From the outside, it's underwhelming. The sign is easy to miss. It's in an older strip of storefronts beside Hawthorne that could definitely use some love and care. However, immediately on walking in, I was sure I chose wisely. I had flashbacks to my time working in the Middle East. All the very best restaurants I found over there seemed to be hidden away, hole in the wall places. Hummus House fits that mold perfectly. Inside, there was football (soccer to us in the States) on a TV, Middle Eastern music playing just loud enough, and bit of tasteful decor while staying mostly utilitarian. I was greeted and seated by a very friendly young man who turned out to also be my server. Another thing that reminded me of Oman, where not many places had separate hosts and servers. I instantly liked his attitude, energy, and how welcoming he was to the only white dude in the place. I ordered the zucchini dumplings, a chicken shawarma plate with habanero hummus (the hottest of their 9 hummus choices), and a Coke. My new friend brought me some crispy pita strips and garlic sauce as a starter (think chips and salsa in a Mexican restaurant). The pita chips were perfect, not overcooked or stale. And the creamy garlic sauce worked perfectly with them. 8.5 out of 10. Then came the zucchini dumplings. I don't know what all is in them but I guarantee one ingredient is magic. These things are absolutely indescribably good. Amazing, fabulous, delicious, any other word I can think of falls short. They came with the same garlic sauce and I wasn't mad about it. The flavor combo wasn't just good, it was otherworldly. Over 9000 out of 10. Then came the main event. Perfect strips of chicken shawarma, simple yellow rice, a salad with Greek dressing, and warm pita quarters. I opened a pita and stuffed it with all the things. And, friend? No lie, it was another level, again! I just sat there with my eyes closed, shaking my head in disbelief at how good it was. My server friend noticed and popped by to make sure it was happy head shakes. I don't know, a billion out of 10? Hummus House was the whole package for me. Excellent, authentic ambiance. Super friendly and fast service. Food to die for. Seriously, go! It's worth it!
Great Mediterranean place. Everything was solid. I liked how the salad had freshly cut olives, onions, and tomato's. The rice box medium size is actually quite large. There's plenty of seating, but it wasn't busy for a Thursday afternoon. There's a brighter seating area and also a darker seating area.
