Hummus & Friends in Berlin

We were almost ripped off by the waiter. He charged us an amount far beyond what the meal might have cost. When we asked for the receipt, 2 out of 4 items were wrong, at least one of them was more expensive than the one we ordered. He said he accidentally gave us the bill from another table. After our complaint, we left the restaurant with €12 more than when we actually paid and we were still not sure whether everything had been billed correctly. Everything is very murky. “Cash only” speaks for itself! Regarding the answer from the restaurant: I would be very surprised if my employees collected money that (just now) has not been paid for, so no invoice can be issued for it. Where did this money go?

Probably the best hummus I've ever had! Loved it!

Very good, diverse and delicious selection of hummus (also many vegan). Friendly service that gives you really good advice, the drinks and food come quickly and are lovingly prepared. The restaurant is very comfortable to sit in, with a view of the Bodemuseum. You can also take a seat in the beautiful inner courtyard. I would like to recommend this small, fine restaurant with a tradition going back over 10 years.

Olof Olam We were at the holiday of Sukkot, the owner is a lovely man, excellent hummus as well, who knows and knows from the north the Galilean landscape, bless you and thank you very much for amazing food and perfect hospitality.

Very cosy Israeli restaurant with a wide range of vegetarian dishes. Their Hummus menu is a incredible variety. Friendly staff with prompt services. All the customers enjoyed having lunch. Highly recommended to try out

Good option to get away from typical German food. It has fresh and healthy dishes. The different varieties of hummus are very good (quite filling). We ordered what was in the photo for 4, we were hungry and it was difficult for us to finish it.

Very tasty food! Pay only with cash, unfortunately it is not advertised anywhere. The prices on the website are no longer current.

The tastiest hummus I've ever eaten. Many tasty variants. The service was extremely nice despite the stress (larger group in the next room). What more could you want?

Very friendly service, incredibly delicious food! The hummus is especially great! We have been here several times and will definitely come back!

The service was friendly, you sit by real candlelight and acoustic jazz covers of Top 40 songs are playing. Unfortunately our table was not cleaned of leftover food beforehand. Anyone who has ever been to Mugrabi, Golda Deluxe, Kitten Daily or similar should not come here. The eggs were older (rubbery surface), the baked potatoes were cold, the carrots in the salad were shriveled and the falafel was more authentic in consistency and taste at most kebab shops. Prices are similar to those of the other stores mentioned, but the performance is simply not there in comparison.

Excellent cuisine, something different.

I was quite disappointed... the food was mediocre and very very expensive for what you get (a Hummus dish for 15,50?!). They only accepted cash when I was there, which is not mentioned anywhere on their website. The drinks are overpriced as well... I will probably not come back or recommend

Nice, cozy and casual atmosphere. The portions are decent - you'll be more than full.

Benzogi arrived after a flight from the USA and was waiting to eat hummus, after thinking and researching the market this is the restaurant chosen. Unfortunately, the experience is reasonable and when we politely hinted at dissatisfaction, they responded less. I recommend tasting the avocado hummus - interesting and strange. Relative to the size and nature of the dishes, expensive. The falafel was baked and did not contain herbs. Felt that the pita was warmed from the freezer.

It may be that there is great hummus there. But dessert didn't taste good. And you can sit outside on wobbly beer benches at wobbly tables.

Hello Hummus and Frnd is an absolute gem for anyone who appreciates food that’s both delicious and healthy. Every dish on their menu is packed with flavor and feels incredibly fresh. The hummus is smooth, rich, and perfectly seasoned, while their variety of wraps, salads, and bowls are filled with wholesome ingredients that leave you feeling satisfied without the guilt✨🫰🏻❤️ Not only is the food top-notch, but the service is equally impressive. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or adjustments to suit your preferences. It’s clear that they care about the customer experience just as much as the quality of their food✨💥🎉❤️.

Burnt cauliflower and almost raw eggplant, hummus drowned in tahini, extremely slow and completely unplanned service (we waited 30 minutes for drinks and an hour for food), dirty, greasy tables. The outside area is uncomfortable and bumpy. The concept of Israeli cuisine itself is great, the menu also reads well - but the implementation is catastrophically bad, as is the price-performance ratio.

They charged us wrongly (13€ more than what we ordered) and since they only accept cash (to avoid taxes, I suppose) and dont even give you a receipt we wouldn't be able to go back and get a refund. Food was ok (a little expensive, I've had far better and cheaper hummus) but the service was pretty bad.

They don't accept credit cards so be aware of that. Food was alright. They also charged us a lot more than what we ordered so make sure you check the bill.

Came over and it was closed. Please update your hours

I can highly recommend this place, especially if you are vegan. The service was super friendly, super relaxed, absolutely decelerating. We ordered the Trio Hummus for 2, which came with fresh bread. All 3 varieties tasted very good. I can also recommend the homemade lemonade. I will eat there again on my next visit to Berlin. Card payment is not possible. But don't let that stop you. This restaurant is an absolute MUST for all hummus fans!

I had an extremely disappointing experience here. We came here just to try their desserts and enjoy some tea. However, the service was shockingly rude from the moment we sat down. After ordering, we were made to feel unwelcome, and the staff seemed irritated that we only wanted dessert. Afterwards, we were actually told to leave just because we didn’t order a full meal! This level of unfriendliness is completely unacceptable. If you’re looking for a place to relax and enjoy, I’d recommend going somewhere else where they actually value their customers

We waited to sit, nobody was there for a long time and we decided to sit at the table. There were a couple of tables free. Waiting staff came and gave us menus, but we knew already what we wanted. We wanted to order lemon cake and tea, but the waiter who took order refused to serve, and he said : " This is not cafe" and all tables reserved. As I saw on some tables were reserved sign, and 5 of them were free. Didn't expect this kind of service

Very nice atmosphere, excellent food, which you can't get everywhere. The only drawback is the toilets. But you can overlook that.

Hummus in a variety of flavors. delicious. Baked potato, a delicious Israeli salad accompanied by tahini. Falafel, gamba stuffed with quinoa and more...

Super nice service, good coffee, nice atmosphere. Running!

Super delicious food! The lemonade is a hit on hot evenings.

I recommend the baked cauliflower

I was there seven years ago with the family and now I'm back with some friends. A good place to eat Mediterranean and healthy cuisine, which is very much appreciated in Berlin. The hummus and cauliflower are truly spectacular. The service, friendly, but we had to wait long enough for the dishes. One negative note is that we were charged 50 cents for each glass of tap water. This surprised and upset us, considering that we spent more than 30 euros per person.

The quality of the hummus was good, but there aren't really that many choices of dishes other than that, and one we ordered was disappointing: a small basket with oven cooked potatoes and other root vegetables, which was overpriced and just... average. The staff was very nice, though.

We waited for a very long time, they simply forgot about us. the waitress was not friendly, she didn't even bring us a menu. There was a hair on the glass, for some reason they didn’t notice it and brought it to me. I asked to change the glass, but no one even apologized for it, as if this happens to them every day. The service is very bad. The food was just ordinary, nothing special. There was no paper in any of the women's restroom! 😂😵‍💫 And the cherry on the cake is that they forgot to count us, the waitress thought that she had already counted us out.

Second time I've been here, and again very tasty, wonderful hummus with dried tomatoes and fluffy pita presented by very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Un début prometteur : bonne cuisine méditerranéenne en terrasse dans un quartier vivant de Berlin. En revanche, la suite laisse à désirer : service très long, vin rouge chaud, dessert qui n'arrive jamais (pour dire au bout de 30 minutes d'attente qu'il n'y en a pas) et surtout serveurs pas du tout souriants.

Everything about this place is ZEROOOOOOOO

Nice combination if you are in the Jewish quarter. Delicious food, friendly service and good quality for a great price.

The place specializes only on hummus so not a lot of choice besides that, but they do their job quite nicely. Decent food, chill waiters who don't judge as they almost always do in Germany. The interior has some cozy corners to sit comfortably. I'd say it's a bit overpriced for such simple dishes, but honestly it's not too bad, especially for the location.

Fine, fresh hummus and very nice service. Always nice to come here. Looking forward to next time.

Cash and card payment possible. Great selection for hummus and extremely tasty. Dishes from the seasonal menu are highly recommended.

Natürlich denkt man, direkt neben der prominenten Synagoge gibt es auch gutes israelisches Essen. Leider ist diese Vermutung falsch. Das Essen war geschmacklich erschreckend schlecht. Ungewürzt, flach, schwach. Die Portionsgröße ist dem Preis nicht angemessen. Kein Auge und Herz für die Kleinigkeiten. Das Besteck war teilweise dreckig, das Pitabrot kalt und alt. Der Service ist ebenso unmotiviert wie das Essen. Gesamterlebnis = absolut nicht empfehlenswert!

I very nice hummus variation restaurant next to the big Synagoge. The service is excellent and flexible on the orders. Food is really great. The cauliflower is ok. Nothing spectacular. Polish it up with a little paprika powder, and fig Sirup. That's what they do in Arabic countries. The falafel however taste really great!

We recommend. Something completely different!!!

Great place ! I have been going for more than 10 years and never disappoints! The hummus&friends special and the cauliflower are amazing !

Unfortunately we were very disappointed. I remembered coming once years ago and I had a good experience but today it was really bad. We sat down to order and had to wait a long time to be served. When our order arrived we clearly saw that the food was reheated and not fresh and in fact we had to ask for a plate of potatoes to be reheated because they were very cold. The food was tasteless and you could tell it was not homemade. Taking into account the price one would expect something very different. The service was extremely slow and unprofessional since, for example, one of the waiters with a tattoo on his neck was talking to some friends at the next table while sharing conversation, cigarettes and beer during working hours. Very dissatisfied and we cannot recommend it. It is worth highlighting a good detail from another waiter with long hair and a goatee who was pleased to give us a 10% discount for the inconvenience. We couldn't find out his name but he showed calm and good communication and understanding.

Service was slow, and the hummus didn't meet our expectations. The “aubergiene tapas” was particularly disappointing due to the bitterness of the aubergine. Overall, it was a big letdown.

Voll schlechte Service , 45 Minuten gewartet und man würde noch nicht mal gefragt nach der Bestellung obwohl wir das mehrmals danach gefragt haben . Unaufgeräumte Tisch und zu wenig Personal !!! Noch nie sowas erlebt, nie erlebt so eine schlechte Service!

Wir haben uns zu dritt Hummus Trilogie und zwei Hauptgerichte geteilt. Es wurden 3 Pitabrote hingestellt ohne Hinweis ob wir noch mehr haben können. Service war sehr unaufmerksam, wir mussten mehrmals auf uns aufmerksam machen. Essen war lecker, aber es gab mehrere Komponenten die sich wiederholt haben. Der gleiche Salat bei den Hauptgerichten machte mehr als die Hälfte des Tellers aus. Immer die gleichen Sossen.

Loved the avocado hummus and the hot pita. A bit noisy because it was so popular.

One of my favorite places to eat in Berlin

No recommendation The inside of the restaurant is ok to sit but not super cozy The terrace in the back is not as it looks on the pictures Old plastic tables, nothing fits together Some things look like they haven't been maintained for a while The Hummus was not good in my opinion and tasted like tahini mainly The mushrooms on the Hummus were not fresh (canned mushrooms) and had a bit of a sour taste because of the canning No cinnamon flavour at all although it was written in the menu The Pita was a random pre baked bread And the thing what really upset me a bit was the 14.50€ for the hummus. Way to overpriced for what you get in quality and the portion In other restaurants you get some good grilled veggies with your hummus and not canned food The sandwich of my friend was disappointing in taste too Service was ok but the communication was a bit difficult All in all it felt like we found ourselves in a touristic place where they don't really care about quality

It's a nice place for vegetarians

Very nice restaurant, with very fine food and very nice service. A must if you like fine hummus and good fresh food.

It was very tasty, the vegan chicken was terrific ☺️

A kosher restaurant that serves Sabih hummus and pepper For kosher keepers the place is excellent

The start was quite bumpy as we had to wait quite a long time for our order. The strange thing about it... guests who ordered far after us received their food far before us. However, the food, our hummus plate, was absolutely delicious.

Magnifique découverte à Berlin . Les plats sont pleins de saveurs , très copieux , le service parfait dans un cadre très joli . Bravo l équipe !

Very nice restaurant, simple but very very good food. Mostly pretty full. I enjoy coming here every time I visit Berlin.

This is the Humus place. Unfortunately falafel was not good.

Awful experience. Probably the worst place I've eaten at on my 2 days in Berlin. Hummus was very grainy

Bestellte Suppe nicht serviert, Antipasti-Teller Rohkost & 2 Löffel Hummus, gewünschtes Weizenbier nicht vorhanden, angebotenes Bier (0,5 um € 6,50 !) nur in 0,4 Gläsern, Preisreduktion aber nicht möglich. Einfach schrecklich.

Totally delicious and super friendly staff. Gladly again.

We've been there a few times and it's always been good. Nice staff, delicious food, good seasonal offerings and good location

Best hummus and falafel we've had in a long time. Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly people, nice design. Lots of vegan options. Also excellent dessert.

I ate the Humus & Friends special plate there. It was very tasty and rich. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Would eat there again at any time. Edit: I was in Berlin again after a long time and so I paid a visit to Humus & Friends. This time I had an Israeli salad. I found it very tasty again. The atmosphere was again very welcoming and warm. Very nice service. I just found it a shame that, due to the current situation, there is an increased police presence at all Israeli restaurants and in front of synagogues. That's why you always have an uneasy feeling. Still highly recommended.

Hummus unfortunately very tasteless, slightly yeasty. Eggs so hard they were dry.

Der klassische Hummus war arg flüssig, aber geschmacklich ok. Das Foul schmeckte ungewürzt und schien auch schon länger in der Küche gestanden zu haben. Der Hummus mit Mango hatte einen komischen künstlichen Mangogeschmack. Mit Hummus hatte das nichts zu tun. Der halbe Blumenkohl war ok, aber kalt. Die Vorspeisenplatte war ungewürzt schmeckendes etwas ausgetrocknetes Gemüse. Gut war das warme Pita-Brot. Der Service war freundlich.

The hummus was exceptional, creamy and rich. However, the falafel tasted like they had been taken out from the freezer and warmed up in a microwave. It was dry and lacked flavors and texture that make falafel such a beloved dish. The place must elevate their falafel to match the excellent standard set by their hummus. Our waiter was kind and eagerly listened to our feedback.

Authentic food, always good visited. If necessary, reserve a table in advance

Very nice food and good portions. The food was a bit expensive though and falafel not very big

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, sympathetic but not attentive staff.

The shop was very dirty, including the toilets. Food was average and completely overpriced. A small plate of hummus cost €14.50. Four waiters were bored in an empty shop, but no one seemed to want to wipe the tables. We flicked our leftover food from the previous person onto the floor. There were piles of glasses and plates on the tables outside, which were still there when we left.

Food is okay, really nothing special, but quite expensive. Bowl of hummus with topping for almost €15. The service was friendly, quick and courteous.

We wanted hummus, too bad this one really isn't great. Very liquid texture and fairly average taste. Long wait for order and service. Clearly too expensive for the low quality. Ugh

...had a great lunch break. Were on sightseeing in Berlin and were there twice...

Various hummus, freshly made bread, soups and vegetables: all very good, the people at the service are kind and very nice! We'll be back this summer!!!

We love hummus, the plates look appetizing. The waiter was nice but it was long 🥴 the service for 2 plates of hummus and a bottle of water. Very disappointed with the dish, I didn't feel like I was eating hummus in terms of taste. The 35€ bill is expensive.

The restaurant not only offers delicious hummus, but also extremely friendly service. The chic courtyard area, which is perfect for relaxing, is particularly impressive. An all around successful experience!

Always my pleasure. My favorite: Hummus with beetroot and rhubarb spritzer. Service super friendly. Relaxed atmosphere.

Friendly service, although she seemed a bit stressed. Food and drinks came fairly quickly. Both the berry lemonade and the oven-baked cauliflower with tahini and the chocolate hummus are recommended.

The hummus dishes are pureed. I.e. basically baby food. They don't taste particularly good either. We were a group of 10 people and no one enjoyed it.

Hummus was very good. Operation can be expanded.

Very tasty vegetarian food (hummus in all variations), very courteous service and everything in a nice atmosphere. Lovely again.

Unhygienic...at least we didn't have to pay for the salad. Never again…

Beautiful place in the center of Berlin, very kind staff and very good food. Advised

Unfortunately everything is rather average: hummus is good, falafel is unfortunately ready out of the bag and has no taste - but then the price is ambitious. A pity.

The hummus is really good, but the portion varies from day to day: one day you might get a reasonable amount and the other just a small sample.

Unfortunately, this was the worst hummus we have ever eaten in Berlin. This one was totally thin and the toppings that came with it were a laugh. You had to look for the beans. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right here at all. Plus, we had finished eating by the time the drinks arrived. We couldn't recommend Hummus & Friends more highly.

Leider war das der schlechteste Hummus, den wir bisher in Berlin gegessen haben. Dieser war total dünn und die dazugehörigen Toppings waren ein Lacher. Die Bohnen musste man suchen. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt hier leider überhaupt nicht. Außerdem waren wir mit dem Essen fertig, als die Getränke kamen. Hummus & Friends können wir nicht weiter empfehlen.

It's basically just hummus which in my opinion is not a main dish. I was left disappointed.

Totally delicious food and fair prices

a bit expensive, very filling hummus however!

Fantastic hummus with nice subtle variations. We loved it and went back for another feed while traveling through Berlin.

Just hummus (and few extra dishes), but great hummus. Keep coming back.

Probably the best hummus and pita I've ever had. Highly recommended

Special place, with wonderful hummus!

- “business lunch” for €13,90 is pretty sad: one bun, drink, some hummus, sad ruccula salad. cannot recommend it - low value and too much better competition in surrounding area, plus service was slow (not unfriendly though)

Piccolo ma accogliete ristorante con piatti israeliani e humus tutto abbondate e molto buono. Vivamente consigliato, riservare è meglio visto che non è molto grande

were very nice and can recommend the potatoes

Had fun eating Hummus with Friends!

Nice restaurant, good service. But i definetly had better oriental food.

Oh well. We ordered mushrooms with baba ganoush. In our opinion, the Baba Ganoush was missing from the plate. The pictures on Google also looked much better than our dishes. Nobody even asked if everything was OK, the used plates weren't cleared away, and we had to proactively order dessert at the counter. The resulting meager tip was met with evil looks. A pity. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the offering is generally exciting. Can you do more with it...
