Not our favourite, but nice enough - Edit
The quality of the hummus was good, but there aren't really that many choices of dishes other than that, and one we ordered was disappointing: a small basket with oven cooked potatoes and other root vegetables, which was overpriced and just... average.
Read moreThe staff was very nice, though.
Pros: Staff
Cons: Few dishes, the roasted root vegetables are disapointing

amazing food but slow service - Edit
we made one of the vegetarian dishes vegan by asking for it without egg and it was delicious when it came but the staff were slow to take our order and then we waited 40 minutes for our food even though the restaurant was not full.

Incredible hummus but expensive - Edit
Vegetarian, not vegan. I tried only the hummus with pitas and it was verry good. The pitas were fresh baked and the hummus was creamy and tasty. 13,50€ for only hummus is expensive. They could easily turn vegan.

Hummus! - Edit
I love this place. Endless creative hummus variations and a delicious menu beyond that, it's the perfect balance between traditional cuisine and creative twists, both in terms of being nearly all vegan and in all the great flavour combinations. Quite nice staff and space. Perfect for anything, from a quick lunch break by yourself to a bigger evening gathering with friends (and the dishes lend themselves to sharing quite well:)

Best hummus in Germany so far - Edit
Really great hummus! I got the bowl with ful and it was delicious; I could tell the hummus had just the right amount of tahini. Also the pita bread was fluffy and fresh and soft - not something I always find with hummus places in Berlin. I had seen some people complaining about portion sizes which seems crazy to me, the portions were very reasonable/on the bigger side.
Read moreOne downside: the baba ghanoush did not really taste like baba ghanoush - it had too much tahini in it actually and had too creamy of a texture, without the eggplant chunks or other flavors like lemon to balance it out. Wouldn't get that dish again.
Pros: Really good hummus, Big portions
Cons: Baba ghanoush not great

Empfehlenswert - Edit
Es gibt viele leckere Hummus-Sorten mit Pitabrot und marinierter Blumenkohl aus dem Backofen. Und eine leckere gefüllte Paprikaschote (Quinoa). Ich bin ein paar Tage später noch einmal hin, um mehr zu probieren. Haben uns dann zu dritt mehrere Sachen bestellt und geteilt.
Read morePros: Tolle Auswahl, man kann sich kaum entscheiden, Gemütliche Atmosphäre (Gedimmtes Licht, Gerichte sind hübsch angerichtet
Cons: Nix

Excellent hummus - Edit
The hummus at this place is superb, but unfortunately that can’t be said of all dishes. We ordered the ‘business lunch menu’ which came with a very mediocre salad and homemade lemonade. The two plates of hummus were absolutely delicious, but we had to order extra pita since we only got two pieces.
Read morePros: Fantastic hummus, Friendly folks
Cons: Rather pricey for what you get

Not worth the price for only hummus - Edit
I ordered humms with sundried tomatoes. It came with one pita. I think it was ok, nothing special with the taste. Expecting more for that price, 12.90 €…

Go here if you love real hummus - Edit
We sat outside, which was a lovely setting. We ordered 2 different hummus. The taste and texture was great. The accompanying pita bread was lovely.

Really tasty flavored hummus - Edit
Went here with a mix of vegans and non-vegans and everyone was pleased.
Read moreThe place has somewhat a fancy vibe with high ceilings and no stickers that offers a lot of different flavored hummus. The restaurant also has soups, salads and sandwiches but I would say hummus is their main thing (as the name explains). We shared four different hummuses and two additional dishes. For four people that was definitely enough and we even got food over. I really liked the hummus and that you get them with different toppings, and the pita bread that goes with it was warm and fluffy. I can also recommend the “Antipasti teller” which was delicious.
A good place to go when wanting to share different dishes, works perfectly in a bigger group as you can try multiple hummuses! I would also recommend sharing a different dish as the hummus plate was not the biggest. Be aware that the vegan dishes are not clearly marked.

Ask for extra pita! Yum! - Edit
I went with a friend, and we got a salad, the avocado hummus, the mushroom hummus, eggplant eith tahini, the garlic and date dip and some schug (spicy pepper dip) along with a few beers. The garlic and date dip was a bit strange and probably would have been better as a dessert, but everything else was absurdly good.
Read moreI highly recommend asking for extra pita because 1) you will probably need it and 2) the pitas come out piping hot! Yum.
Pros: Very friendly staff, Nice ambience, Delicious hummus

Something changed? - Edit
I used to go here more often back in 2017-2019 and I haven’t visited since the covid restrictions were lifted.
Read moreI remember that the hummus was outstanding but today it wasn’t as good as it was back then. Not sure if my tastebuds changed or the recipe changed.
Another thing is that the hummus portions are pretty small for the price (10-11 euro).
Service was quick and great though.

Good hummus, very small portion - Edit
I wanted to put only 1 star, but I can’t because is a vegetarian place.
Read moreThe hummus is good, but the portion of the “big” hummus is ridiculously small. 10,50€ for a dish shouldn’t cost more than 5€. Also, they charge for the tap water…
Not worth it, don’t go.
Pros: Good hummus
Cons: Expensive, Small portions , Weird waiter

Lovely but pricey hummus - Edit
They have several varieties of hummus. We tried 5 of them, and were all tasty - esp. the mango (summer only) and tomatoes.
Read moreIt’s basically all about hummus (beware: no falafel here!).
Portions are OK, but quite pricey: 10/12€ each.
Staff is very unfriendly (I’d rather say impolite!): one of the waiters kept shouting and deliberately making noise for about 1hour.
Pros: Mostly vegan, Tasty hummus in many variants
Cons: Pricey , Impolite staff
