Oren's is a chain, but don't let that put you off! It's a solid choice for really good Mediterranean food and wine. They will serve you a free salad as an appetizer, and the menu is full of choice, from rice bowls to filled pitas to kebab plates. The hummus bowls are huge! And you can pick and mix items to go together as part of a mezze. And don't forget the sweets! I've often been gifted some baklava at the end of the meal. Service is quick and friendly, and they always seem to have space to seat people, inside or outside. We also often get it delivered, or order ahead and collect. The food travels pretty well.

Go for the hummus, stay for the rest. Most excellent preparation on the hummus I had just their original Jafar. And I’m not sure what doesn’t go with hummus. It was great on everything that I purchased. I got the chicken rice bowl the yellow garlic falafel balls the side of the whole wheat pita which I’ve never had taste that good, most of the time it taste like wallpaper paste. I definitely will be back this week

Food is awesome, it worth probably more than 5 stars. The service worth 1 star, you aren’t really attended to and the communication is tricky. Granted, I am not a native speaker but I get around smoothly. You have been warned :).However, I do imagine pick up food and eat at your place would be a great choice for this shop.

The hummus tasted great, so did the Pita bread. The Pita was very filling and felt fresh. I took the chicken skewer plate With felafel and hummus.The chicken was tasty but less of quantity. The vegetarian pita sandwich also tastes great. Next time i am probably going to try something rice based.For the quantity you get, the price seemed too high, at least when i compare the 4 pieces of grilled chicken plate.

We had amazing dine in experience at Oren's.Loved the food. They have JAIN FOOD(No onion no garlic no potatoes) available. Our server Sierra was really good. She suggested Chocolate mousse for desert and we absolutely loved it. I can drive down 45 mins just for that Chocolate mousse. They make in house Pita bread, which is a plus. Pita was very very soft. Overall great food and great servers.

Good rice bowls. Service could be a bit more diligent and proactive.

Got the brussel sprouts and the cauliflower with the beef skewers. All three were great. They have outside seating which is a plus. Recommended.

Service was very good , the food had some positives and negatives! There are many styles of Middle eastern food and I prefer Lebanese than Israeli! The hummus lacked Tahini and the pita was too doughy ! Offering flatbread or Lavosh sesame would have enhanced hummous egplant bowl! The falafel was tasty but not hot enough blend flavors. The chicken kabobs tender and flavorful!The smokey Babagnoush was excellent

Went here for the experience. I'm not used to Mediterranean food so I do not know what to expect. The pita bread and hummus were definitely winners. The pita bread was served hot and very soft. Smells good, too. The hummus is so finely ground that I have not seen anything like it from groceries. I went for the rice bowl with beef kebab. The rice is ok but the beef is dry and a bit salty. The Greek salad is ok with the olives standing out as great. I am not sure if my tounge will acclimate to the taste but I am glad I tried. However, it ended up a bit pricey for me. The staff are nice and service was great so overall, my dining experience was nice.

I go to Oren’s a lot and it’s always a great deal for the amount of food you get and the portion sizes!Good:My favorite is always the hummus eggplant and I recently trod the green shakshuka which was also delicious.You get a lot of free pita bread which always tastes quite good. I like the whole wheat ones.They also give free salad!Bad:The food is usually what you expect, nothing super crazy but always good.I come a lot since the service is quick too!
