Thought I was in a cafe in Tel Aviv with great chopped salad and wonderful hummus I could stuff in pita w well turned falafel and great hot(green) sauce! We will be back.
Was very impressed with the food and service here. Came in on Christmas Eve and there was a lot of bustle, yet the service was on point. We order the big plate of hummus with seasoned meat. VERY tasty, but the meat was a bit too well done and kinda tough. Turkish coffee wasn't as strong as I know it to be, but it was yummy. Pita was super warm and fresh. And they have this house spicy chili paste… to DIE FOR!!
I am impressed with you. I definitely plan on returning with a bigger appetite and a bottle of wine.
I came to Englewood to meet a friend tonight, she suggested this restaurant because her coworker highly recommends this place.
This is a small restaurant, and business tonight was good, so it looked like all of the waitresses were all extremely busy, we had to wave couple times to get their attention, but they were all very nice and polite.
I had steak and eggs sandwich, I like they use pita as bread. Sandwich is really huge, I only ate half and felt so full already. However, steak is too dry and too thick , I wish they could cut it thinner so it will be more easily to eat.
Friend ordered Pargiot (grilled baby chicken thighs) and she loved it, I tried some chicken and it was so tender and full of flavor.
It's a BYOB place but you must bring Kosher wine/ Mevushal Wine (for non-Jewish), otherwise they won't open the wine for you. Too bad, we could only bring our wine back.
I love me some falafels and have been scoping out hummus elite for quite some time now. Being I work in the area it was only a matter of time before I would get the chance to see what they are all about.
My coworker and I ordered the lunch special which they have going on Monday – Friday up until 4PM, and they give you two options (vegetarian or meat lunch special) I decided to order the vegetarian lunch special which consists of you choice of a sandwich plus an appetizer and soda and my coworker got the meat lunch special. The falafel sandwich was served in the most delicious soft pita bread and served with fries, some type of cabbage slaw that added a nice crunch to the sandwich and tahini. I wish I remembered that there was going to be tahini in it because I have never been a fan of it but the flavor wasn't over powering. The falafel were large and flavorful and I really enjoyed them. The hummus that I got as my appetizer was very smooth in consistency but I wish I got something added to it like meat.. could of used a little extra flavor to make it really good. Also wish they sent more than one pita for my hummus.
The delivery was pretty quick and the food was nice and hot when it got here. I will be back to try out some more of what they have to offer.
Went here for lunch on a recent business trip and really enjoyed the food. I'm not a hummus person, so I can't speak to that, but I thoroughly enjoyed my grape leaves appetizer (some of the better ones I've had) and the salad I chose that had roasted beets, apples, walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette was tasty and light and hit the spot amongst the heavier meals I was indulging in. The restaurant is small, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Nice little place!
Nicely located in downtown Englewood, this is a small cozy place and one of our most favorite places in town..the menu has a variety of options and everytime we have tried something we have liked it. This time we tried the hummus sabich platter and the chicken kebab sandwich. Both were awesome! The food is really filling and hence perfect for brunch! Bring your friends here for a lovely treat! Wish they were open even for dinner all days!
*hummus (omg!!!!!!!!!!!! So good! I loved the texture, it was absolutely perfect; the flavor was good too and they used good olive oil most definitely; this is probably one of the best hummus I've ever had, but I really want to go back and try their other styles of hummus or perhaps a hummus platter; in addition, the pita bread they serve is so friggen good! what is up with that bread?! it's so thick and fluffy and chew, it's so perfect for sandwich or dipping)
*Moraccan cigars with tahini dip (these were decent, it was fried soybeans wrapped in phyllo dough, I really loved the tahini sauce, they got it right with that, the cigars weren't anything fabulous though, nothing special and they were tiny!!!!!!!!!!!! they were like the size of my middle finger, regardless though it was worth trying)
*falafel (the falafel were really green, which threw me off, I was expecting it to be more tan since it's chickpeas but they probably added a lot of fresh herbs; I liked it, not salty but I like Toro's better)
*sabich sandwich (hummus, boiled egg, tahini, and roasted eggplant: this was really good, I liked the eggplant but wow was it super soft, the boiled egg added a great flavor to this sandwich but it was such a soft sandwich already with the hummus and eggplant, I felt that they should have added something crunchy because I can handle so much of that soft baby food texture before I feel nauseous, perhaps a crunchy veggie or nuts or something fried/crisp would have done the trick; regardless though, this sandwich was huge, filling, and very good)
This place is Kosher; I think the quality of the food is great and the service is pretty good too, we dined al fresco which was nicer than inside because I think it's more or less an open kitchen and the smells are strong inside, I MUST go back to this place to try more of their food!! Kofta kebab sandwich (omg!!!!! I love this! the meat was perfect medium and so juicy, so much meat inside and fries and the chopped veggies, I got this with a whole wheat pita and it was so delicious and so filling!)
Came in here for a sandwich to go. I had the shish kabob beef sandwich. The shish kabob was a bit well done and the salad was falling over. It was tasty, and would likely not get a sandwich next time. I will be back to try a platter or something else.
The service was nice and the decor is nice with earthy tones and art on the walls.
