Best Hummus and Babaganus I've ever had. Difficult to find but I always excited when I do.
Best and cleanest ingredient hummus !
A meal at the Med Chef is truly a unique experience. The location is basically a hummus production facility with a few tables for guests-- if you're lucky enough to be one. If you're not intimidated by pallets of chickpea cans or buckets of Hummus ready for distribution, then you will love the fare here and the reasonable prices.

The Mediterranean Chef Cafe is a hidden gem in Austin, serving Mediterranean cuisine that has remained unchanged since 2016. The menu features dishes like the Nikki Special, which is known as one of the tastiest and most unique Mediterranean dishes around. The cafe is recognized for its generous servings, fresh ingredients, and a variety of sides such as babaganoush and hummus. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make customers feel at home. Recently, the cafe reopened after a pandemic-related hiatus, with owners Nikki and her partner welcoming guests warmly. Nikki, a Turkish native with a background in chemical engineering and nutritional analysis, now runs the cafe alongside selling Mediterranean products at H-E-B. Customers praise the delicious food, especially the Nikki salad with balsamic dressing and the Nikki Special. Complimentary mint tea is often served, and visitors are eager to return to try more menu items like Gyros, Wraps, and meat pie. Overall, The Mediterranean Chef Cafe remains a must-visit spot for authentic and satisfying Mediterranean dining in Austin.
