I used to live in the Bay Area and was a regular at Oren's Hummus in Palo Alto. Eight years ago, I moved out of the area, but every time I visit Palo Alto, I make it a point to stop by Oren's because the food is just that good. It reminds me of the taste of home--the fluffy pitas, the incredible eggplant dishes, the real kebob made with ground meat, and the finely chopped salad. Everything is simply delicious! The team is just as amazing, including the GM Suzanna and her wonderful staff, who always make the experience top-notch. The atmosphere is awesome, with the music in the background and the great design. I do have one small question for the owners: could you please open a branch in Roseville? We have a great community here that's hungry for your food (no pun intended, lol)!

Hands down the best hummus in the city! I usually get a rice plate when I get Mediterranean food, but since hummus was in their restaurant name, I figured that's what they probably do best and ordered a hummus bowl instead. I got the hummus braised lamb bowl (available only on Fridays and Saturdays) and it came with 2 pitas, so I got one white and one wheat to try. My brother got a rice plate with falafels (recommended by the server), and we got fried cauliflower to share. My hummus bowl was amazing, so smooth and creamy and the lamb was tender and juicy as well. The pitas were probably the fluffiest pitas I've ever had. I got to try a bit of my brother's falafels and they were so good! I usually don't order falafels because I prefer meat for my protein. The few times I did, they were just ok to me, but I would definitely order these again. The fried cauliflower was alright. I feel like the sauce makes it or breaks it and in this case, the sauce was a bit bland. I ended up dipping them in my hummus and it made it better. Service was attentive and they had great outdoor seating with heaters. Overall, would recommend and I can't wait to come back to try their Moroccan beef hummus bowl!

Oren's is always a delight, I regularly shuttle between the SF, Los Gatos, Mtn View and Cupertino locations and recently got a chance to come to the Palo Alto one. I find the SF one most conveniently located (next to AMC and many buses) and love having the classic Jaffa there. The PA location isn't behind either, amidst bustling downtown and feels larger than their other spots (to me). Their hummus bowls just as good as the others, the fantastic red+green sauces, crunchy falafels and perhaps the best pita bread in town. I'm yet to have better hummus anywhere in the bay.

good service, good food. and good ambiance. Would recommend friend here again. Looking forward to come back.

Service was good. New server being trained, both her and the server she was shadowing took their jobs seriously, and gave a fine dining level of service at a pretty casual joint which is always a good thing. Food on the other hand.. I had the chicken bowl, and it was very watery. Not sure if it's always serviced like that or not, but I would recommend they make it a rice pilaf rather than soupy. The dips and bread were good.

Came here for an early dinner with family. It was a very beautiful day so we decided to sit outside and and enjoy the warmth. They have many tables outside and have lots of shade to sit in. Our host gave us cold water that was very refreshing and provided us with their free coleslaw. The coleslaw is made with a vinegar base and taste delicious during a hot summer day. I've been to this location about a year ago and remembered loving their hummus. I decided to get their chicken hummus and it did not disappoint. The hummus is made fresh and is thick and tasty. The chicken compliments it very well. The pita bread is thick and fluffy. Comes out warm and fresh. They give you two large outta breads per hummus plate. They give large portions so I went went home with left overs. My dad got the rice bowl with beef and my partner ordered the hummus and eggplant. We each loved our food and we're excited to have enough left overs for another meal. I would def come back again. The hummus is just the best.

Located in Palo Alto Downtown, parking is plentiful but hard to find. There's a good balance of indoor and heated outdoor seating, though the heaters kicked on a bit late. Hummus chicken (4/5): the chicken was crispy and tender. The hummus was creamy and rich. The olive oil complimented it really well. It was surprising filling. I also got a 3rd pita as I felt 2 wasn't enough to go with the amount of hummus. Tap to pay is accepted. Service is good and the food is yummy. Overall, Oren's Hummus has some delicious dishes. The hummus is creamy and the pita is hot and fresh.

This is on the university ave on Palo Alto. This is on one of the busiest streets of peninsula. Basically you'd find plenty of restaurants on this street but this restaurant caters Greek food. It is so authentic and delicious. I never tried the pita bread this fresh. It soft from inside and crunchy from outside. We also ordered some kababs and beer but the place is so busy and the service is so good that whatever we order they were coming right out. Honestly the place has okay kinda ambiance it looked a little busy inside so we couldn't go. We sat outside and it was shaded and pretty good weather for a heater.

I've tried Hummus in many places, but it's only Oren's I keep coming back to time and time again. I've come here for years and it is truly unwavering in its excellence and quality. Specifically, the Morrocan Beef bowl is my stand out pick. I tried it once from a friend's plate at dinner one time and immediately knew that it was the one. While this place might get passed up after a while for its ubiquity in Palo Alto and surrounding areas, I can tell you as someone's who's left that it's one of those places you can't find anywhere else and will always try to find a way to keep coming back to. Amazing hummus, amazing beef 55555555555555/5!!
