what a great find. we trued one of the bowls and it was very generous and had many choices of protein, salads, hummus/rice/lettuce to make a huge, tasty bowl! Definitely will return! Healthy, tasty and great price point.

Can’t believe I’ve waited this long to try this! SO FREAKING GOOD! Bowls are protein packed yet feel supert light. Very thoughtful combinations of flavors on their main menu :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Also, staff is very friendly and the bowls are made very quickly.

Just had our first visit for takeout and this place is an instant family favorite. We walked in and both kids said in unison “it smells so good!” Each of us chose our own mix of bases (rice, salad, hummus, quinoa tabbouleh) then toppings and sauces and each bowl came with a fresh pita. Food is fresh, bright, and so tasty. Bowls are reasonably priced. The gentleman running it couldn’t have been kinder. Definitely will be back!!!Vegetarian options: Lots of veg and chickpea based options - you can easily avoid animal proteinsDietary restrictions: I mentioned that I am allergic to almonds and hazelnuts and they informed me everything was safe for me. Also entire menu is gluten free.Parking: next to a star market with huge lotKid-friendliness: The gentleman working there was patient and kind explaining the flavors of everything to my kids.

I decided to order from here after I stopped in Verizon and noticed it. I eat middle eastern food all the time so was excited when I looked over their menu. I ordered a chic shawarma bowl. I should have known that it wasn’t a good sign when the bag with my order was dripping from the bottom and leaking out to the point the bag ripped.I opened the bowl and the bottom was about to cave in from the amount of liquid. The picture shows what I mean, but this wasn’t even the worst of it. This is after I attempted to drain some out. I actually wondered at first if I somehow ordered some kind of soup on the menu, but thought that was highly unlikely. I’m very disappointed, but also very confused as to why they would service a customer their food like this. Based on the great reviews. I’d love to give them another chance and hope it was a once off. The staff seemed very nice and fine inside so no issues there. So disappointed ☹️

Great hummus place! Charming friendly staff. Delicious hummus. Wide range of toppings. Great pita. Shockingly large portion (enough for two or three) for a reasonable price. There are a few tables outside, but this is fundamentally a takeaway joint.

I've visited Hummus v Hummus 3 different times and each time I feel like, Wow! That was delicious and a super bargain! A big base of hummus or greens or grains and unlimited "toppings" like a smoky eggplant, chickpea salad, red pepper salad, pickles ( onions, jalapenos and regular), zhoug, quinoa tabbouleh, beet and ricotta, feta etc etc etc. and then you can top it with a protein like chicken, salmon, or falafel. Our bowls felt like they weighed at least 5 lbs. It is so generous you'll have enough to eat for another meal. All of it is gluten free except the pita bread. Much is vegan. The people are so nice. I love them!

Bowl was fantastic! Unlimited bases, greens and salads like tabouli, beet, chickpea, pickled kale and onions, eggplant and more. I love hummus and there was at least a cup of yummy hummus! Back home at Naf Naf grill you only get like a tablespoon of hummus!! Generous with portions of everything . Servers were were very friendly and helpful too. Sorry, photo was after I started eating and half the salmon is gone. Very filling and good value.

A gem of a place! I had Avi’s Bowl w/salmon, no pita or feta. It was delicious. Ingredients were all fresh, very nicely seasoned, and perfectly cooked. And the bowl is substantial. I made two meals of mine. The folks were very friendly and accommodating. I’ll be back!

Tasty. Fresh. Not a lot of variety but a welcome addition to the area. Healthy!! I've only done take out but I'll be back

I don't get the other reviews, this was such a disappointment. The chicken schwarma was shredded super thin in some sort of red sauce, tasted nothing like schwarma, really strange. The tahini dressing was as thin as water and they were out of feta cheese the night we were there. Not much of a Greek bowl. I got excited when I saw the beautiful puffy pita but it was cold and flavorless. Heat it up with a little olive oil and it could be good. These bowls could use some fresh cucumber, tomato and other fresh toppings. Small takeout restaurant with a few tables outside. Very few customers. They've got to do something about the food to make it in chestnut hill. Was hoping this would be good like Simcha
