★★★★★ 5.0 Yashi · Jan 2026

Best Mediterranean place so far. I have tried falafel at many places but this place had exceeded the expectations to a whole new level. My new fav place. The softness of falafel yet fully cooked. Pita so soft unlike those hard breads, melted in mouth. 😋 Sweet potato fires 🔥 😋 👌

★★★★☆ 4.0 Rasya Ramesh · Oct 2025

Really enjoyed my meal at Oren’s Hummus! I ordered the shakshuka and chicken skewers — both were super tasty and well-seasoned. The shakshuka had just the right amount of spice, and the chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and quick, which made the whole experience even better. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. Other than that, everything was great — I’d definitely come back!

Oren’s Hummus is the ultimate comfort spot for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food that feels both nourishing and indulgent. The star of the show is, of course, the hummus—silky smooth, rich, and topped with high-quality olive oil that enhances every bite. Paired with warm, pillowy pita straight from the oven, it’s impossible not to fall in love with the simplicity and authenticity of the flavors. The shawarma plate was equally impressive, featuring perfectly seasoned meat that was juicy and aromatic, served alongside crisp salads and vibrant pickled vegetables that added a refreshing contrast. Despite its popularity, the service remains efficient and friendly, making it an excellent choice for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. The casual, lively atmosphere makes everyone feel welcom

It was a very interesting experience. It was my first time eating Israeli food and it was delicious. Hummus was delicious and the atmosphere was modern. They also kindly recommended food. If you like a different experience, I recommend you to go.

Perfect for our retreat at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. The fries were soggy (our fault for getting them in a take out order) but the falafel was excellent. The pistachio baklava was very sweet but still yummy
