★★★☆☆ 3.0 Katia Martha · May 2025

(3.5 stars). I didn’t have strong feelings about this place and likely wouldn’t go back, though the food and everything was okay, there’s better Mediterranean food to be had in Palo Alto. The falafel balls are tiny but also good. The pickled cabbage was a bit too sweet for me and the salad was sub-par. Staff were perfectly friendly and responsive. The inside is pretty small but does have some seating options. While it was clean and tidy, it didn’t feel like a place I really wanted to sit down and stay at. Okay but not great.

We had eggplant hummus, pita (they were the softest!), chicken rice bowl and sweet potato fries. I loved their hot sauces on the side too! The food was delicious and so flavourful; service was pleasant and prompt :)

One of the best pita sandwich you can have in palo alto. I always have chicken pita sandwich with fries, don't forget to ask for red and green sauce (both are spicy & refreshing).

Everytime I visit Palo Alto, I remember to have Chicken Pita Sandwich and Fries. Don't forget red and green spicy sauce.

Whenever we're having a craving for some really good hummus, Oren's is the place to go. Unlike the location on University Ave, this smaller satellite location has a smaller menu and has a more "fast food takeout" approach to it. The food is still just as good as the full fledged location and we found that getting food items was a lot faster, even on busy days. If you haven't tried hummus outside of the prepackaged stuff in the refrigerated sections in supermarkets, you absolutely have to try the hummus here. The hummus is rich, creamy, and decadent, and the pillowy soft pitas go with it perfectly. There are a variety of toppings to choose from, and if you feel like trying a little of everything, there are entrée plates that include smaller portions of popular items like the hummus, ba
