Hummus Grill

The food was way below average. The tables were dirty. we had to clean them ourselves. There are tons of better and cleaner Mediterranean food places in philadelphia. The most important reason we will not be going back is because the location lied to us about having halal lamb at the location on 40^th and walnut. We called ahead to confirm and they lied saying they do. Establishments that lie to their customers to get business cannot be trusted.

whenever i eat shawarma here, i always think of the avengers. you know that post-​credit scene from the first movie where they’re all eating shawarma after beating the bad guys? i bet after that movie, everyone left the theater craving shawarma — because i sure did.
anyway, hummus has great shawarma, falafel, pita — pretty much everything. i always like to get the platter here with chicken shawarma, hummus, pickled cabbage, fried eggplant and white rice — yes, you get to pick 3 sides!

The five stars is for the hummus only. My husband recently ran out from Pennsylvania Hospital where I was in maternity ward for six days to get me a snack. So glad he picked this! Warm delicious hummus hit the spot after a few days of hospital food. We bought extra grilled pita too. He got this for me twice and would have been more if they didn’t close at 9pm and were closed Sundays. Yum.

The kabobs were delicious — the flavor was there and the kabobs were not dry. The customer service was super nice also, definitely will go back again!

When it comes to lunch, half of the battle is solving «what should I get for lunch?» With the colder months approaching, looking for a lunch spot will always be daunting.
Hummus Grill is just around-​the-​corner from where I work, and a meal from there, will hit the spot every bite. And, it’s easy on the wallet too.
I’ve picked this two dishes for you to try:
— Shawarma sandwich: Tasty and spicy shaved grilled chicken sandwich. I prefer my sandwich in a wrap, with everything on it: hummus, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cabbage, onion, hot sauce, and tahini.
— Combination platter is the perfect choice for the indecisive people. This platter will give you a taste of the Middle East. It’s pretty solid with the falafel & your choice of meat (I always go with shawarma.) Also, it come with your choice of three sides (tomatoes & cucumbers, cabbage, eggplant, beets, carrots, potato salad, hummus, and tabouli, or baba ganoush.
And whichever you choose, I guarantee you will enjoy it.

I’ve been «meh» about this place since I moved to philly but the rice bowl deal has just won me over. Good price, comes with a drink and delicious! Only missing some hummus to top it off

Food was fast, cheap & delicious! I had the combo platter, with rice, beef carrots, eggplant and hummus. GET THE EGGPLANT! Very clean and pleasant environment. Will definitely be back for more!

Swung by here for lunch the other day. I got the salmon platter, and for $ 12 I received a piece of salmon that lasted 2 lunches over an equally as impressive bed of rice, a fresh piece of pita bread, hummus, tabouli and eggplant (my choice of an array of sides), a clinatro-​lime creamy sauce and a more spicy salsa-​like sauce. It’s a pretty healthy sized lunch… and also a pretty healthy lunch which i felt good about. The salmon was fresh, cooked very well, and kept me full all day. The rice was very aromatic and delicious. The eggplant was fried and warm, and the hummus and tabouli were pretty much a dream. I took pieces of the pita and made little sandwiches.
Overall, i really enjoyed my lunch. I’d come back here in a heartbeat!

After reading the reviews a places an order for delivery for the chicken kabob platter and a chicken sharwma pita. I also got a side of hummus and baklava.
The chicken dishes were good but just a bit dry. Their white sauce was a greenish sauce and it was good but not the same. The hummus was totally bland though. However the pita that came with it was amazing. It w

Mediocre at best. Kibbeh on the appetizer list was mushy and tasted nothing like kibbeh. The filling inside It was sweat. Use beef! The tabbouleh salad had NO lemon or oil in it which left it tasting like a bitter kale salad.
As I took a look into the kitchen it ALL made sense. There is a Mexican guy cooking Mediterranean food. Folks this never ever works out. MediMexican food = fail!!!
Take a look at my other reviews. Enjoy eating.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had the salmon (overcooked but still yummy) platter on brown rice with (3 sides): tabouli, cucumber-​tomato, and OF COURSE hummus with a whole wheat pita. The hummus was creamy and not garlicky-​yay! I think it was about $ 9.95 and I will be back.

So I have to admit I’ve seen this location in University City numerous times, and it always gave me the «college fast food vibe.» With so many great spots like this (mamas etc) that are good, I never gave this place a chance.
While sick, I didn’t want to venture too far away to get a good sandwich. This place came up on my app, and I walked the couple of blocks to grab lunch. Speaking of apps, if you check in here you get $ 1 off a dinner sandwich. I saved that one to use later.
I ordered a falafel sandwhich. He asked if I wanted «everything» which is cucumbers, cabbage, hummus, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onions. I was the only one in here and lunch which made me pretty nervous.
In a couple of minutes I was served, and I was pretty surprised. This really hit the spot. I’m not going to say that every ingredient was the freshest, but it was good and for $ 5.50 you won’t hear me complain. The only part I didn’t like was the fact that at the end the pita was soggy. It was from the hot sauce which when applied once you get the sandwich is pretty watered down.
This place is fast, cheap, healthy, and leaves you full without feeling grossed out. I will be back.

The Hummus Grill is affordable and I don’t feel terrible about myself after eating here!
You can get a lot of food for under $ 15.00.
If you want your quick hummus fix I suggest this place.

Stopped by for lunch and ordered the falafel plate with rice, carrots, tomatoes, hummus and pita.
The food and service were good, dont get me wrong, but did not sway my allegiance away from Allyans in Queens Village and a couple falafel carts near Independence Mall.

Oh yes, I love Hummus Grill as it fulfills my workday lunch fix :-)
It actually took me three tries to realize which platter style I actually liked. This isn’t due to its inability to make good food — oh, it’s GOOD — but it’s due to the variety of dishes and side dishes that Hummus Grill offers! Ok, here’s my ultimate combo: the lamb kabob with a wheat pita — which is soooo fluffy! — and three sides: tabouli, beets (!!!), and french fries. Ok, so, the french fries should actually change into something healthier, but sometimes work is stressful ;-) Ok ok, enough of me taking your diet to the dark side…
I haven’t tried any non-​platters, but I’m sure that they make them with love. Thanks, Hummus Grill, for bringing us more non-​falafel (though they do have them), Mediterranean food!

I ordered lunch from Hummus the other day with a friend at work. We used Grub Hub and it made it to our office in Olde City only 20 minutes after we ordered it.
I had the falafel platter, and it was really delicious. The falafel was crispy on the outside with plenty of texture on the inside– just how I like it. I had the hummus on the side, which was perfectly creamy and balanced. You also get to choose two little side salads, so I went with the cucumber & tomatoes and the tabouleh. Both were really bright and fresh tasting, and the perfect contrast to the richness of the falafel and hummus.
My only gripe was that the little cup of tahini I received was definitely watered down. It had no flavor at all and literally pored like water. Come on, guys, you can do better than that. I’ll definitely order again, but stop doing that!

Average food for the price. Good for a quick lunch and their takeout is great.
They have a loyalty card and once you visit a certain number of times you can then get so much worth of free food.
Friendly service. Just nothing spectacular.

This food was really really bad. I was really hungry but I couldn’t even force myself to eat this horrible food. The chicken shawarma and baba ganoush had a weird kick to it. I thought I was imagining it but my friend made the same comment. We concluded that the food had to be old. The tomato and cucumber salad had no seasoning. I mean not even basic salt and pepper. I couldn’t even mess with that greasy hummus. How do you mess up hummus? I really hope we don’t get sick. Delivery took an hour. I only ordered from here because of high reviews on grub hub. This was a complete fail.

3.5 stars! delicious place to grab a bite. Clean place (just opened) and very friendly service. Shawarma is okay– a bit dry and not as flavorful as I would have hoped. Salad is very large and full of veggies. I like the lemony dressing. The falafel is pretty good. The beef kabob was delicious! Platters come with two sides and rice. Hummas and cabbage sides were really good!
They have a nice Shwarma bowl deal with rice, beets, and cucumber salad that is $ 7. great deal.
Prices are very good for the amount of food you get.

I went the first time and had the Lamb Kabob sandwich $ 8.95 that I really enjoyed. They stuff the pita so much you’d have to eat it with a folk first.
The Baklava for $ 1.95 was pretty good too. I was so excited to see they had it because I haven’t had one in a long time!
However, the 2^nd time I came back & brought my friends, it was a disappointment. I had the Chicken Kabob $ 7.95 sandwich this time. It was dry & just not as good as last time.
Probably won’t be back. Sadly because I was very excited about a hummus place!
