The Hummus & Pita Co
“The ordering process is very much similar to Chipotle, where you first pick your protein and then toppings afterwards.”
“I travel greyhound a lot through Port Authority, so I am going to be back soon and often!”
“Definitely go for the sandwich wrapped in laffa which is a large fluffy flatbread (reminds me of naan).”

Loved my shawarma bowl. It comes with pita, hummus, a sauce and 2 sides. The chicken was so tender (probably because it had thigh meat) and flavorful. The restaurant only has bar seats, at least on the first floor. But the place was bright and clean and window counter is a fun place for people watching.
Was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was, tried it out while waiting for the bus right opposite this place. I got a veggie bowl to share with a friend and also the lentil soup. The bowl had hummus, tabouleh, quinoa salad, grape leaves and couscous served with a piece of pita bread. Everything was delicious. It's a great find to get good, healthy food at a very reasonable price and of course the fast service cannot be beat. Cant wait to try out more stuff when I take my next bus from here. Great option near port authority.
Dear god! I was not aware that this place was open until last night when I was going to pass out of hunger. Yelp has totally saved my life.
I had one of the best falafel sandwiches I've had. (This doesn't include Mamoun's) I ordered your regular falafel sandwich in a pita bread with house hummus and salad and it was heaven on Earth. However, I came here at night an hour before they closed so I guess the service wasn't on point as a lot of the food wasn't ready or they had run out of items. In any case, awesome food and quick. They also have beer in case you're in the mood for a drink without the bar atmosphere.
One downfall is that there are a lot of homeless folks in the area so sitting on the first floor isn't ideal if you don't want to be bothered.
The best hummus I've ever had. After eating all the store-bought brands, served cold might I add, Hummus & Pita Co does hummus the right way. The hummus comes room temperature which allows you to really taste all the flavors. The Pita's are light and fluffy, and only $1 for an extra one! They also have whole wheat which is nice for those of us "trying to be healthy".
I ordered a large hummus with tahina for $6 and it is big enough for 5 people. I also tried the spanakopita which is delicious and perfectly portioned. Honestly can't believe I just found this place, it is delicious!
The food is amazing here! I had the chicken pita with Israeli salad, regular hummus, and purple cabbage. The pita is literally stuffed with so much food, if you're in the area, definitely give this place a go! They have upstairs seating & restroom.
I can't get enough of this place. Seriously! Everything is just exploding w/ flavor and super tasty! I kinda wish I hadn't discovered The Hummus & Pita Co. b/c now I'm addicted! Try it, and I'm pretty sure you'll feel the same way.
The first couple times I visited, I got a pita sandwich…. but then I learned that you can ditch most of the dirty carbs and get a meal just as delicious AND filling. I usually get the Shawarma Chicken Platter, which comes with three sides! It's definitely the way to go if you have big appetite like me! I've tried some of the other proteins but seem to always return to the chicken shawarma b/c it's very tender and seasoned just right!
As for the sides for the platter, you can't go wrong with just about any of them. I typically try to go for the healthy-ish ones and get the Israeli Salad, Tabouli, and Sautéed Veggies. THEN, the best part of all is the toppings/accoutrements selection. It's freakin' unlimited, and all of them are on target! I load up on lettuce, tomato, purple cabbage, pickled onions, green and red pepper paste, feta cheese, +++ Just get them all. You will not regret it!
Note that platters also come w/ a pita (white or wheat) on the side, but I always tell them to not include it; it's not really needed.
I liked the place. Had the chicken breast on a plate with 3 sides… Guys were really helpful with the ordering process … The "steak" didn't look too much like a winner – but if you read my review of the Thai joint in London… I'm a bit jaded toward beef right now lol
Seating is good- has upstairs too. Clean and has refillable fountain drinks.
All in all a great place. Right next to some bus stop too… Which is odd, because we are going to catch a bus but at the 33rd street stop lol – a lot of people eating here are waiting for a bus.
Round 2! The experience was much better during my second go-around. I ordered the same meal that gave me some issues the day before and the delivery arrived promptly.
This time the food met all of my expectations based on all the reviews I read on Yelp. Previously my platter was good, aside from the fact the gyro was bad and had a dry/crispy texture. This time the gyro was tender, juicy and very flavorful. The side dishes (corn salad, cous cous and cole slaw) along with the hummus was awesome.
All around the meal was terrific and I'm glad that after an off night, they were able to notice my feedback and the results were solid. I can say that this experience was far better than my previous one and I'm looking forward to ordering more food from here in the future.
