The food was great! I would’ve given 5 stars for this place if not for the service. I went around 3pm for a light snack/dinner and the place wasn’t crowded at all. I ordered two dips and the waiter kept making comments about the portion size like “you eat so little”. And when I asked for to go boxes he said “you couldn’t even finish this little food”. This is the first time a waiter is making such a rude/nosy comment about my portion size. I also asked to have one menu on hand after placing the order (to check other options as I was waiting for the food to come), and the waiter outright said no and took the menu card. It was not like they were running out of menu cards, I saw a lots of them at the reception.
The food was really good but I may not go to this place again if there are waiters like this.

Excellent vegan, dairy free and gluten free options! I had the gluten free pita and it came out warm! The turmeric rice and falafels were very good and gf/df too! The entrees you can pick a side and a dip which is a good option if you want try all of the different hummus and sides they offer. There is also a sampling platter.

Great food, great service, comfortable seats, and I’m a happy boy!

Compared to other locations, this one is awful — both food and service. Both waiter and manager refused to recognize or address the issue that the food was not fresh and mushy. $75 down the drain. Never again.

? ? ?️ I had the chicken hummus bowl to go with pita bread. The hummus is really tasty and the bread is good too. The green sauce is super spicy so be careful.

Great place for Middle Eastern food! Hummus is amazing here! Jaffa Hummus is the hummus you want to try first!

Charging a living wage fee percentage on every check is not legal, it's also like saying "We’d like to give you lower prices by not paying our workers a living wage, but legally we can’t”

We loved eating on the patio. I had the falafel, marinated beets & hummus. The hummus came with the softest, tastiest whole wheat pita I have ever had. My friend had the falafel sandwich in a whole wheat pita. We both thought everything was delicious. We were helped by a lovely hostess named Elvira. Our server, Lucas, was knowledgeable & kind. This is our kind of food. We'll be back!
Vegetarian options: Love the falafel

quick service and yummy food, a very satisfying meal in the outdoor patio. got the menu special, hummus braised lamb with 2 whole wheat pita bread and it’s more than enough for one person.
I had some delicious cauliflower hummus, served with two warm pita breads. The mint lemonade was incredible too—really refreshing!

I used to live in the Bay Area and was a regular at Oren's Hummus in Palo Alto. A few years ago, I moved out of the area, but every time I visit Palo Alto, I make it a point to stop by Oren's because the food is just so good. It reminds me of the taste of home—the fluffy pitas, the incredible eggplant dishes, the real kebob made with ground meat, and the finely chopped salad. Everything is simply delicious! The team is just as amazing, including the GM Suzanna and her wonderful staff, who always make the experience top-notch.
I do have one small question for the owners: could you please open a branch in Roseville? We have a great community here that's hungry for your food (no pun intended, lol)!
