    I used them to cater a small birthday party for 20 people. First of all, the communication was excellent and I was comfortable at every stage from planning to day of event. The food was plentiful, packaged well for my waiters to set up, and it was absolutely delicious. My family specifically loved the lamb kabob, and the moroccan cigars. The hummus was obviously also wonderful. This was in every way a 5 star experience. Highly recommend Hummus Elite for your next catered affair no matter how big or small. Thank you Hummus Elite for making my day special.

    The food was great! The salmon was grilled perfectly. The Israeli salad was fresh and tasty! The staff were friendly and accommodating. There were several vegan options for my family member.

    Forgot one of our orders completely however they did call to inform us. Shame they didn’t inform us about the rest of the order - not sure how they can charge $10 for a vegetable soup that consists of an inch of water and 3 large carrots. Charged $18 for the most basic schnitzel sandwich. Charged $11+ for hummus that was also incredibly small and finished in one spoonful. Absolute joke. Avoid. Shame as the menu sounds great. Prices are ridiculous for the portion size. Maybe it’s better if you eat in but don’t order delivery.

    This is an awesome place to eat. The portions were extraordinarily generous. The wait staff went beyond what they needed to, to make us feel accommodated. The maitre d, Stephanie was extraordinarily friendly and made sure that our orders were to perfection. I really like this place and recommend it. It's worth the trip to Inglewood. I will definitely be back again.

    This is the first time I tried Mediterranean food and I have to say it was delicious. My Israeli friend had recommended some dishes and wow, my wife and I loved everything, specially the falafel. Hoping to Visit soon again and try the whole menu. Good service as well. The servers are very kind. Thank you!

    Expensive and not very tasty. Chicken in chicken shawarma sandwich was less than warm. Hummus was bland. I’d go to Zula down the street

    We had Hummus Elite cater our Shabbat dinner and it was delicious. Food was delivered with plenty of time for set up. Pricing was very reasonable and the quantity of food did not disappoint! We were so happy with how everything turned out and guests went back for seconds! We would 100% recommend Hummus Elite for anyone looking to cater an event.

    We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday in their outdoor space. The owner, Giyora Malka, made planning a breeze, and the staff were wonderful. Outside was set up with a huge tent, bar area, and lounge style seating. The incredible smell from the kitchen wafted to the backyard and made us all hungry. Wish I took pictures of the incredible and abundant food but I was busy with our guests. Soft and fluffy pita, the creamiest hummus and roast eggplant you can imagine, fresh salads, and perfectly spiced kebabs, plus rice, couscous, gorgeous hot and crispy fries - the food just kept coming! Can’t wait to go back for a date night soon.

    By far, the best hummus I’ve ever had. I will be returning. 👏🏼👏🏼 the shawarma was to perfectly seasoned and balanced with the Israeli salad and pickles. Pita completely on point. 👍🏼

    I was very disappointed in this place. In years past hummus elite has been great but that was not the case today. First off they messed up our order. Furthermore we ordered lamb kebabs that were raw. Lastly the soup was salty and barely edible. However I really hope they put this store back on the map again and become the place it once was.

    Food is good. Beware, they tack on a 20% tip, then when you pay electronically, the machine prompts you to leave a tip. We just got home and realized that they took a 40% tip from us.

    This was a great last minute decision for dinner on New Years and it was Awesome! Joostyn was our server and he was able to answer every question about the menu that our table of kids and adults had for him. He even guided one of our highly allergic kids to steer clear of the nuts and seed dishes, and there was still plenty for her to eat at this delicious middle eastern place. If you like authentic middle eastern cuisine in a warm and cozy environment, this is the place for you.

    We took a 40 minute drive to check this place out and could not have been happier. Amazing food. We had Lamb Kebobs, Hummus w/Meat, Falafel, Fries, and Warm Pita. We love traditional Israeli / Middle Eastern and this is among the Best.

    Great little restaurant. Delicious food, the hummus is amazing and fresh, lamb was spiced just right and juicy. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the try.

  • 5/5 henry s. 1 year ago on Google
    I almost feel like NOT posting a review. ..it's so good you want to keep it to yourself. Apart from turning hummus into an art form, the food is incredible and the outdoor patio is a very pleasant way to spend an evening. Staff are really charming. We will be back again.

    I have been ordering lunch at Elite Hummus, a kosher restaurant in Englewood. . The food is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of fresh and flavorful options to choose from. The hummus, in particular, is exceptional – creamy, perfectly seasoned, and served with warm, fluffy pita bread. Aside from the incredible cuisine, the service at Elite Hummus is top-notch. The staff members are friendly. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is inviting and comfortable. It has a clean and modern interior, creating a relaxing ambiance to enjoy your meal. The combination of delicious, fresh food, coupled with friendly and attentive service, makes it a standout dining destination.

    Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Wait for food 10/10 Loud pans banging in the background 10/10 😂 Food was immaculate, delicious, satisfying and above all: Delicious!!!! Will return in the future.

    Ordered the hummus platter with falafels and the grilled chicken plate. The portions are large which we liked given the price. The chicken and the rice side that came with it were both flavorful and delicious. The falafel and hummus,however, were mediocre. The hummus lacked flavor. I had to add the Trader Joe’s everything bagel seasoning to the hummus I took home to make it tastier. The falafels were a bit dry and also lacked flavor. For more flavored dishes, I recommend Zula which is a few steps away from this restaurant.

    I used to be their customer, every two weeks I used to order from them and all the times recommend it to all my family and my friends, but suddenly they raise their menu not just $2 or $3 but more . For example the falafel pita sandwich it went from $8.5 to $12.5 why????????

  • 5/5 Mary C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is the best. Small space, but big flavor. The hummus is incomparable! Literally the best hummus I’ve ever had. I always order the sabich pita and it’s always delicious. Their soups are also amazing. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu, everything is quality ingredients and flavorful. The staff is always friendly, too. Definitely on my favorites list in Englewood!

  • 5/5 Oren Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is delicious and the service is amazing. I really liked the place. The place is very intimate but not too noisy and you can still hear your partner speaking, which is important for me. This is the right combination of attention to details and great customer service. I commended the owner for running such a good business.
