PlasticOysterPlasticOyster: Super creamy and smooth— the difference is also that the tahini is on the side. Superb!

J J.J John: Their entrees are underwhelming; schnitzel way too greasy & overpriced. Pita bread is flavorless, way too chewy & prb microwaved. Stick with hummus & falafel and take it to go. Very slow service.

Jess F.Jess Falkenthal: I really loved their cauliflower hummus bowl. This was the best hummus I’ve ever had. I thought the idea of dipping fries in hummus sounded weird but it was very delicious!!
