I was impressed with the waitstaff, so attentive. Beautiful inside but my mom does not like Air conditioning so we sat outside. Introduction was a little confusing. Although full of enthusiasm, I think Dad just need to look at menu. The Pita was very good. Dad wanted to try Mediterranean food? Im not sure I like Hummus. Maybe because I was not too hungry. This restaurant is very good for Vegetarian. My Dad's Hummus with Chicken was good. The Hummus taste light ( which i like) with slight touch of Tahini. I guess I just dont like Tahini? I probably should have tried the Kale Chickpea Salad. Waitress recommend the Variety Plate for 18 dollars. It sound good Eggplant ( Babaganoush), Beets,Carrot, & hummus?? & Strained yogurt Cheese. It sound so healthy but I was just not in mood for Eggplant today. My Dad's Hummus Chicken had little Chicken in it. Although very delicious Chicken, I kind of wish they put more Chicken in it. Since I was not hungry i tried the Muhammara? It is a Walnut, Crushed into a paste with Pomegranate. It sounds real good but Im not sure I like it. It came with Pita Chips. It would be a little better if the Pita Chips were lighter. They were almost hard like? The Pita Dad got were delicious but the Pita Chips were more hearty. I just dont think the Chips were good. If they had a thinner Pita ( for chips)...it would be better. Eating Pita chips should have a light crispy texture. If they used thin Pita for the chips it would have been good? Another table ordered Drinks which looked delicious, but since my Mom has digestion issues and has a tendency to drink cold drinks & then get sick we only ordered Hot Mint Tea. The Mint was very good. I have a feeling the meat ( or skewers) are very good ( maybe next time if Im hungry). I should try the Shakshuka or Eggs with either Turkey Sausage ( but I think they were out of regular Shakshuka) so we would have gotten the Kale, Spinach one. Like I said, this place seems really good for Vegetarians. They just need to make the Pita Chips lighter ( like chips) then they would sell the Fattoush salad like crazy. I dont remember seeing any lettuce on menu ( Dad ordered Cucumber,Tomato salad). If this place had a lettuce Crispy Salad with light PIta Chips ( Fattoush) then the combo of a Crispy Lettuce type salad with the Crispy chips would be irresistable.

Nice quiet setting with warm lamps on crisp fall atmosphere sampling classic hummus cauliflower with wheat bread. Healthy and tasty. Could use more variety with the IPAs. Edit, this next visit for friends birthday, mostly friendly from staff. Turkish coffee was great 👍

Used to be the best Hummus but as they expanded and became high volume the quality went down. It's not just a small little change it's a big change and the hummus is simply not good anymore. The falafel is good but the rest left me disappointed.

Love this food! Hummus, chicken pita, and the potato burekas are some of my favorites. Oh and how did I almost forget the shakshuka 😋

First of all, 99% of the menu is Jordanian, Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian dishes, not Israeli. If you do not believe me, a quick Google search will suffice. Even better, I urge you to visit another Middle Eastern restaurant and order the same items — you will see how much better they taste and how much more generous the portions are.
The labneh was the only thing I enjoyed, and that is not difficult to get right, especially since they probably did not make it from scratch. The muhammara was disappointing, the baba ghanoush was disappointing, and even the fried cauliflower — which is almost impossible to get wrong — was subpar.
The portions were small, and the dishes were served in ways this cuisine was never meant to be presented. How this place received such a high rating is beyond me. I will update this review with recommendations for better places once I have tried more restaurants in the Bay Area.

Chain with Israeli / Mediterranean food. Quality and service is consistent across locations and I appreciate the clear labeling for vegan options and large variety. Very kids friendly with kids meals and kids promotions on certain days of the week. The place is spacious and has a good atmosphere.

Fresh, delicious, and wonderful staff! I really can't recommend Oren's Hummus enough. Absolutely fantastic!
The chicken pita great is a good choice. It was fresh, right amount of fillings and not too spicy unless one adds in the sauces. The atmosphere is relaxing. Service is good too.

Amazing service, food taste and atmosphere. We really love their hummus, pita, falafel sandwiches and bowls. They also have a sampler plate which was amazing. All the serving staff is incredibly talented and make our visits memorable. Thanks
