Hummy Yummy

In the mood for something healthy, and far too lazy to cook, the colorful pile of fruit in Hummy Yummy’s storefront window caught my eye and I headed inside.
I love Mediterranean food, so I ordered the mixed grill plus a falafel appetizer to take home. The falafel had a delightfully crunchy texture all its own, but disappointingly did not come with hummus or any other sauces. The only hummus option available was a full £3.75 extra; thankfully I had some at home already. The mixed grill came with a wonderful selection of olives, red onion and fattoush; I appreciated not being forced to get rice. As for the meat, the lamb mince was delicious, but the chicken and lamb souvlaki had obviously been frozen and microwaved; both had the taste and consistency of cardboard. Grill? What grill?
This place is hit and miss. Their salads and falafel are above average, and their freshly made juices including the likes of watermelon, grapefruit, cucumber and many others looked interesting; but the hummus is surprisingly dear given the name of the restaurant, and I would steer clear of their «grill» options. Hummus aside, the prices are what you might expect. In other words, some aspects of Hummy Yummy suggest potential, but it will probably have to up its game if it wants to compete with other Mediterranean offerings in the area.
