Hummus Bodega

So many great vegetarian options. it's an open kitchen so you can smell all the food and you want to order everything. Such a great experience and service . Can't wait for my next time .

Top-notch hummus, pita, falafel, soup, and quite lovely and welcoming staff who actively take the extra effort to provide a great meal and experience. I had a late lunch here with my sister today after we went to an exhibit at the Legion of Honor. We topped our Schwarma and Falafel sandwiches with their Amba and Tahini. We got hummus and Split Pea Soup to take home for dinner to accompany our leftovers (the sandwiches were very generous). I wish we had got more pita to take home to freeze. One of guys came by and gave us small cups of delicious Turkish coffee - totally unexpected, and a perfect taste punctuation to end the meal! This is now a definite place to for me to stop at when I'm near this neighborhood (or a good reason by itself to make it the destination).

Came for an early lunch for a Tuesday special veal shawarma. Few minutes and the food was ready served in a perfect pita bread. Juicy, warm and full of flavor. Will definitely come back

A coworker raved about this spot and said that she loves their hummus, so I had lunch here on a Wednesday afternoon. This is indeed a bodega that sells hummus, as well as baked goods, condiments, desserts, and spreads. Order at the counter, and your food will be brought to you. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There was a monthly special advertised when I visited: The Persian Kebab. The friendly cashier told me that it was made with beef & lamb, and he was planning on eating that for lunch later, so I decided to try it out!Persian Kebab Plate: Persian Kebab (4 pcs), hummus w/warm chickpeas, Israeli chopped salad, cabbage, pickles, split pea soup, and pita ($27.00 + tax).+Huge portion! I had the leftovers with some rice for dinner.+Persian Kebab was nicely charred on the outside yet moist on the inside. As someone who eats lamb, I enjoyed it but if you don't like the gaminess it may not be for you.+Hummus was smooth, rich, and not overly salty. Chickpeas on top were a nice touch.+Normally, I'm not a fan of split pea soup, but since it was cold I opted for that over fries or rice. It was delicious and I think they made me a fan.+Pita was fluffy and warm. I wish there was more than one!-Israeli chopped salad, cabbage, pickles provided freshness, but I wish some of the veggies weren't tart.*Verdict: Quite expensive for a fast casual spot, but the food is well-prepared, and portions are generous.

Well, it's been a long time that I didn't eat. Very tasty food. I'm highly recommend Also getting a free coffee, a really good coffee I will eat there again every time that I will be in that area. This is the restaurant that I'm gonna eat highly highly recommend.

I wanted something light for lunch and stopped by this place. Between 2 people, we shared the Bodega Style Hummus Bowl and it was probably the best hummus I ever had! The hummus is creamy and flavorful. We got the bowl with an extra pita and added an egg. Their pita is so fluffy and comes out very warm! I definitely recommend ordering extra pita if you're sharing their hummus bowls. This is a small restaurant with limited seating, so we got our food for to-go. I definitely recommend trying out this spot if you're in the area. I'd come back again to try their other dishes!

Wow I am BLOWN away! Hummus Bodega was incredible -- so fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Falafel and Bodega Style Hummus. The falafel was probably the best I have ever had! It was crunchy, garlicky, and crisp. I loved how cute and little they were. The bodega style hummus was massive and some of the creaminess hummus I've ever had. It was topped with pickes, spicy shattah, chopped salad, and tahini. I do think the hummus could've done with a little more salt, but that's just personal preference. The pita that it came with was also insanely good! I'd defining order again, especially because of the quality and massive portions. Hidden gem in the city!

The food was delicious, but the service was disappointing and the price was high.We arrived in the mid afternoon for a late lunch and the place was busy. Our order was promised in 5-10 minutes, which seemed overly optimistic given the obvious staffing shortage. We had to bus a dirty table ourselves since the staff was preoccupied with other matters (taking orders, trying to placate another irate/entitled group, and running orders). The eating area was also fairly dirty, overall.When our order finally arrived (in take out containers since they seemed to have run out of dishes), it was very tasty. The Persian kabobs were juicy, the pita perfectly puffy, and the hummus incredibly textured.We may have arrived at an off day, and look forward to trying again--hopefully after they have time to hire and train more staff.

In the neighborhood and hungry I texted my sons: "meet me at Hummus Bodega in about 10 minutes and I'll buy". Not surprisingly, this impromptu invitation bought them both to the table. My younger son barely looked at the menu. He likes someone to make a recommendation and he likes things that he's not had before. He went with the recommended Pita Shawarma ($23, made with chicken) and a drink with its identity written in a language other than English (turned out to be grape juice). I opted for a Hummus Falafel Bowl ($19). Both this and the Shawarma benefited from the addition of the Mango Sauce and the hot pepper mix (both available upon request). When my older son arrived he remarked "I've walked by this place a lot but never been in because the prices... whew". This caused my younger son to notice those prices as I'd already done; they're probably the highest I've seen for this type of food in this type of space. The food is good and, even though only one of us added a drink, a meal for three ran about $75. So: very good food, somewhat overpriced, and in a space that, visually, doesn't merit the expense. That said, there's this: The menu confused and overwhelmed me a bit and even left me wishing for photos of everything. I came home and looked on-line and see that I somehow missed the "Exploding Eggplant" which others rave about and some other things I'd really like to try. A return visit may be in order. If you want this cuisine, your portfolio is thriving, and you aren't looking for fancy digs in which to consume it all, Hummus Bodega will definitely satisfy.

Food was very mediocre and the prices were very high. $27 for a chicken plate ordered at a counter is very high, even for SF. On top of that the service was not very good. The guy taking our order was far more interested in talking to some friends across the restaurant than finishing our order. Between sentences with us he would talk to them at a cross-room volume right into our faces. This turned a simple 2 time order into a long ordeal. Then, before even taking our payment, he walked away from the counter to talk to them leaving us standing there waiting for him to come back knowing our food wasn't even in progress. On top of that, the food was very slow to be delivered, largely because he could barely focus on bagging it up during this still ongoing epic conversation. Anyways, Sajj is across town but it's far tastier, cheaper, and has lots of choices to customize, so I'll just be making the trek there when I have a craving for some chicken and hummus.
