Delicious food and great ambience. They have outdoor and indoor seating. Free 3 hr Parking available at a nearby garage. Our server was nice. Overall very good service. Had to wait 5-10 mins on a Saturday afternoon to get seated. Their hummus is a must try. Rice bowl is a bit sweet. Tastes great with their spicy red and green sauce. Great experience.

Their hummus bowls are amazing, ordered a hummus with pine nuts and beet hummus. Very tasty hummus, the pita was very fresh. Also ordered a rice bowl with falafel but that was okay. Baba ghanush was also okay. Highly recommend to order hummus bowls.They have outdoor and indoor seating both. Went on a Monday evening but still there was wait time. Recommend to call early and book a table.

I had their hummus in different location and for some reason it taste differently. Tell the DJ at the kitchen to stop messing with the mix. Otherwise, it aight

We had a late lunch at Oren’s Hummus today and it was very enjoyable. I had hummus eggplant (hummus with chunky eggplant, stewed tomatoes, garlic and tahini with wonderful two fluffy white pitas. It was not too spicy, well-balanced and beautifully presented. My husband had Pita Chicken (grilled chicken, hummus, cucumber, tomato, pickles and tahini) with wheat pita. Looked very appetizing and my husband enjoyed it. My friend had Pita Beef Kebab (ground beef and lamb kebab, hummus, cucumber, tomato, pickles and tahini) and said it was delicious. I liked their outside seating with heaters - perfect arrangement during COVID time.

Came here on a Sunday night - this place is definitely more upscale than the location in Mountain View - I really enjoyed coming here and eating.Good:Fast service - we got all of our dishes pretty quickly. I really liked a couple of the items in the sampler appetizer dish since it was a wide variety - my favorites were probably the yogurt and the babaganoush.I also liked my hummus chicken though it was a large portion so I couldn't finish.I liked the shakshouka but I think I prefer the green one over the regular one since it has more flavor.Bad:There's not enough bread for all the sampler dishes! I wish we got more. I wasn't that big of a fan of the turkey sausage in the shakshouka.Overall enjoyed my time here and it was pretty classic Oren's Hummus but a nicer dining experience inside.

The fact that they have 11 kinds of hummus should be a dead give away about their expertise (just in case you had missed the hummus in their name). Many options for vegetarians as well. Outdoor seating available for about 30 patrons. Arrive at 11 am in weekends to get your choice of seat, by noon there can be a queue for outdoor seating.

Everything here is delicious. Good vegan/vegetarian options. We ordered hummus lamb, Falafel rice bowl, Sch de Noir, Turkish coffee. Friendly staff.

Amazing happy hour and even better service by our waiter Jose on Friday 1/21. Highlights included the Moroccan Carrots and hummus. Jose was super helpful in navigating the menu and giving us suggestions. As two people we were extremely happy sitting outside under the toasty heaters and full from the sampler and hummus. Great happy hour beer and wine selection. Will certainly come back if in on the Bay Area!

The greatest hummus I have ever eaten. Fantastic pita and falafel and even carrots and green beans. Excellent chicken, both grilled thighs and fried breast. An absolutely fantastic restaurant.

Service was excellent, the outdoor seating was nice, and the food was good.We had the rice bowl with beef, hummus classic and falafels. All the dishes were great.Highly recommended, I'm looking forward to come back again!
