Hummus is one of the most incredible dishes to come out of Middle Eastern cuisine. Soft chickpeas are processed together with tahini, lemon juice, and a variety of other spices and ingredients to become something beyond creamy and delicious. This vegan staple can be found all over the city of Tel Aviv and there are a few spots that are just too special to miss out on.
Abu Hassan
Located in Jaffa, the southern part of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality is Abu Hassan. This restaurant prioritizes incredible flavor above all, but in an unbelievable fast paced environment. Served hot with pita, a spicy acidic sauce and onions for dipping, this place is not only a destination but also an experience.

Mashawsha
This unassuming restaurant is actually a haven for amazing hummus. The plates for one are absolutely big enough for two, and this restaurant also provides mashausha, a type of a hummus that is made slightly different from regular Israeli hummus but is just as delicious and healthful.

Hummus Magen David
This hummus restaurant is actually decorated as if it was an old synagogue. Located smack dab in the middle of the Carmel Market, this hummus restaurant has some of the creamiest most delicious hummus in the city.
