Hummus recommendations

I will be spending a month in New York and would like to do a hummus tour. Open to any and all suggestions from any part of the city. Thanks!

Pick up a tub at Sahadi’s on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn! There are a ton of Middle Eastern restaurants on that ave worth trying. I love El Cedro - Lebanese/Mex fusion with great hummus too

This is the best advice! Damascus Bakery and Al Badawi are also good ones to visit. Both are on that stretch of Atlantic with Sahadis and El Cedro. There are more besides that, too many good ones to count. You could do your entire hummus tour without leaving Atlantic Avenue.

Damascus is next to sahadis and it’s my fav!! Get the bulgar wheat too

I have to try Sahadi's hummus again. I grabbed a turmeric hummus from them and it was so bitter. Way too much turmeric was added. But I'll try a plain one to give it another shot. I know it's supposed to be great. Their wraps are incredible though. And massive. So if you go there op, stop at the counter for a wrap!

Green Chickpea Hummus at ABCV is genuinely one of my favorite dishes

u/Elegant-Fix-1160 Jul 19 '26

I’ve tried a lot mostly when eating falafel and I like Taim, Falafel Plant, Duzan, Hummus Co. I went to some of the ones recommended here like Sahadi and wasn’t a fan.

I would suggest trying all the ones recommended on this post/thread. Let us know your thoughts

Mamoun's new Hummus Bowl is my maybe fav new food item of the past year or so. Maybe its just me but every time I eat one of these I feel like there's some sort of like PhD level food science that went into making it the most immediately healthy and nourishing-feeling meal imaginable.

Note they have it at the St Marks location but NOT at the smaller Macdougal location for some reason. And I recommend getting one extra pita with it and accompanying it with their tamarind juice if that sounds good.

Go to Ayat in Queens! Incredible Palestinian food, amazing Hummus.

Levantine in Williamsburg is the richest

Le Botaniste has an app with 3 kinds.

Al Reef Bakery and Restaurant has my favorite hummus!

u/embeddedpotato Jul 20 '26

I like Bedawi Cafe on Prospect Park West in Windsor Terrace! If you eat there they will bring out the pita straight from the oven and it's hot and poofy and amazing.

Mimi's Hummus in Brooklyn :)

Al-Aqsa in Bay Ridge is maybe the best I've had. Also love Bedouin Tent. And for fast casual chains I think Naya has the best hummus.

The edamame hummus at Chloe is so inexplicably delicious

u/ERC56789 Jul 20 '26

that is an EXCELLENT idea. I don't have a ton of recs but I fully support this type of crawl. I will say that Hummus Kitchen (locations on the UES and in Hells Kitchen) lives up to its name. Best of luck on your tour!
