Oren's Hummus

This place is a must go👌their complimentary salad is so tasty! I’ve tried the hummus, the BEST so soft and flavorful! The chicken kebab is so moist n tender with warm pita bread and their delicious Babaganoush and Labne so delicious!!! The service is amazing, and friendly! I highly recommend this place! Definitely coming back for more💖

Delicious food, great prices, friendly atmosphere. Authentic Mediterranean- Israely food. The hummus dishes are my favourite.

Most incredible, fresh, flavorful Israeli food I have ever had. It was actually shocking to me how good the food was, even despite the beautiful location, decor, and reviews. The pita bread was thick and fresh and the smell was mouthwatering. My Hummus Jaffa was thick and gorgeous and the olive oil was top notch. I really enjoyed the yellow garlic falafel - so warm and so tasty! - and normally, I’m not even into falafel. My pickles and olives side was refreshing and just what I was hoping for. Also, the prices are incredible given the quality of the food! Customer service was so great, too. I don’t think it’s possible for them to do anything better here - perfection!

The dips sampler was great. The dessert Malabi was very refreshing, lovely explosion of flavors

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The food is so fresh and delicious! Their hummus and pita bread are the best I have ever tasted. The texture of the hummus is smooth and creamy! The pita bread tastes homemade! Pillowy softeness! I had the chicken kabobs, tender chunks of chicken with just the perfect amount of seasonings! Yum! The fries with feta and garlic were cooked to perfection too, their oil is super clean! The wait staff and manager were extremly attentive, very professional and personable. The portion sizes are huge. Sorry to say, I didn't snap any photos, I was too excited to start eating!

Best hummus I had in California. Hummus is so good and creamy, and the pita is house-made traditional and super warm and fluffy!! 🧑‍🍳👌🏼

Jaffa Hummus is the bomb! Delicious, full flavor and a thicker consistency than regular hummus. Friendly service too ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place is amazing!! Every menu item looked so good that we couldn't decide what to get so we ordered a bunch of stuff and shared! Everything was exquisite! The staff was very helpful in answering questions and making suggestions. Most importantly-- THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE PITA BREAD AND BREAD PUDDING!!!!!!!!!! The have plenty of gluten free options, actually, including the flan-like dessert pictured. Everything was perfect-- atmosphere, location, staff, decor, menu, food presentation. We will definitely be back!

I visited this place for the first time, and I was absolutely fascinated! The food was incredible—every bite was bursting with flavor. We started with the cauliflower florets as an appetizer, and they were perfectly crispy and seasoned. For the main course, we tried the beef kebab and the pita beef kebab, and both were absolutely delicious! A special shoutout to our server, Dante, who was not only friendly but also made the whole dining experience even better with his amazing service. He truly went above and beyond! This place has everything: fantastic food, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend! 👌🍴✨

The food was great, the service was curtiuos and friendly. I will go back. Added a photo of the hummus sabich which was wonderful!

We reserved a table in advance for our family with kids. The food was incredibly fresh and healthy, with plenty of veggies and grilled meats. While the adult plate (protein with two sides) is a bit pricey at around $25, it was delicious. The kids' meals, priced at $11, were a good value and the portions were great. The dips combination was good: Labane (8/10), chunky eggplant (9/10), beers (7.5/10) and the falafel was extra crispy and flavourful (10/10). Service was excellent, and we really enjoyed the music and warm hospitality.

The food was delicious, and the background music added to the authentic atmosphere. The servers were incredibly friendly. However, the seating and dining area require some upgrades to avoid a fast-food restaurant vibe. I see a potential in this restaurant.

With delicious food and very friendly staff, this restaurant is worth going a second time. We ordered the Pita Beef kebab, Pita Chicken, Hummus chicken bowl, and the rice bowl. For the price it was filling, and the portions were good. For 4 people it was around $75 so around 19 per person. The overall atmosphere was welcoming and good.

Great place for Israeli food, even though it is a chain. Being in other Oren's locations I thought this one in Los Gatos had a better feel and probably a taste too. The food looked fresh and the service was super friendly. Ordered hummus chicken and Sabich pita (mostly vegetables). Will repeat next time I am around

Oren's has always been delicious, but this particular location had some of the best service for a casual dine-in restaurant I have ever experienced. The manager was super kind and attentive and followed back up with us personally to make sure our meal was good. The servers were similarly excellent. The food was delicious, but Oren's is usually consistently excellent with their food. Always love taking friends to Oren's and will be coming to this particular location when I can.

Hummus (and other options) are delicious. The hummus is creamy, the meat is tender and you can taste the fresh olive oil on top. Reminds me of home. Oh, and grab the seat by the corner window if you can!

We are the first customers in this place for lunch, so the services are really satisfying. 😉 Foods are fresh, delicious & well arranged in plates. Chicken skewer is tender. Vegetable skewer is tasty. White pita & Hummus are perfect matched. Hot sauces are spicy enough to satisfy my appetite. Personally I like fried cauliflower & coleslaw best!

Yum! What a fun sampler plate! Lots of great spices. The staff was very friendly, and the service was attentive. Update: I went back, and this time I brought a friend. I tried the chicken hummus bowl this time, and it was also great! Andrew waited on us both times. He's kind and professional, and really knows what he is doing. Thank you Andrew!

I’ve been here for both lunch and dinner, and the food is always great. We usually get the feta garlic fries and the falafel pita—both are consistently delicious. I also want to say that the staff is absolutely outstanding: extremely sweet, polite, and welcoming every time. I’ve seen a few negative comments on here with little to no explanation, and I think that’s unfair to the business. Please be kind to service staff— they work hard and it shows here!

Oren's Hummus has become an absolute favorite of mine. From the moment you walk in, the staff is very kind. The managers are amazing, and our server, Natalia, was lovely. We especially love the rice bowls, falafel, and baklava. I highly recommend this restaurant to others.

Oren's Hummus is our go to restaurant for Gluten-free and Vegan options. They have a strict protocol so there is no cross contamination when food allergies are taken into consideration. The price is definitely worth the food, service and experience. We choose the Oren's in Los Gatos because it's the best location in the bay area. The manager Dante is extremely warm and friendly. You can bring any concerns to him and the staff will do their best to accommodate your needs. Bonus is everyone is treated like family no matter who you are.

Our server dytano was fabulous! We felt like he really really catered to us. He gave us a lot of information about the food and the background of the food. The only reason they are getting a 4 star is because of 2 things: the faux lamb was amazing we came at 6 pm in a Sunday and unfortunately after placing the order, we were notified that they were out of enough lamb for 3 3 dishes and only had enough for 2 . I feel that a restaurant should be prepared at 6 , I can understand 8 pm but not 6 pm on a weekend. Also the lentil soup was horrible! No flavor. Not one shred of salt . All in all it was good. I will give them one more chance another time.

-Middle eastern style cuisine with tasty hummus, -not as good as other location in Palo Alto but still considerable as a good dining experience, -Staffs are friendly and polite. -A bit pricey but not too much -Recommended

We ordered Jeff hummus with pita bread, falafel rice bowl and sweet potato fries. Food overall was fine, not the best. Service was slow for us, we were waiting for a long time after we finished food for someone to come and give us the bill and To-go boxes. But the guy serving us was nice, he explained a lot of things in the menu. Vibe is good, it’s a good place. They add 3% gratuity to every order I think. Bit expensive.

Really delicious food in a very nice setting. As a vegan, it was really great to be able to try a vegan version of one of the main dishes. The complementary pickles and sauces are a very nice touch, and raise the authenticity a notch. The main dishes are relatively expensive, BUT they are generous, and if you can see in the photo, very finely seasoned! A main plate with a choice of two sides! I definitely ended up with leftovers. I just wish they had a vegan version of their borekas, and maybe a vegan version of topped style hummus. In addition to the pickles and extra tahini on request, one other point I was very impressed with is the bread - freshly made and very fluffy, not the boring bagged/frozen kind you normally find in American Mediterranean restaurants. Falafel was Goldilocks: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, not too dry, not too oily. The staff was very kind and attentive, but be aware it's in a busy area and the restaurant gets crowded, it may not be your best option if you're in a rush. Having said that, I enjoyed chilling out on the patio, slowly enjoying my food on a sunny day without being rushed.

The food was good. I ordered chicken rice bowl and the chicken was juicy. I’d rather hummus instead of tahini as a side. The falafel was delicious but a bit dry. The service wasn’t the best, our server was slow and we had to ask couple times for water refills, napkin, etc!

We got a nice table for my husband’s birthday lunch. Food was good. The rice bowl with veg skewers had some half done eggplant. May not order that again if we visit.

We came on a Monday a little before six and there were only a few other customers. The space is well lit and modern, perhaps a bit too bright. Service was friendly, but they forgot to bring our water and it took a bit to get the bill. We got the sampler of dips with pitas and the lamb kebab. Both were tasty, but not quite my ideal versions of those dishes.

This place is very interesting. I really liked it even though I do keto and could not have their staple food which are the sandwiches. Their hummus was really good though and they were kind enough to bring us cucumber and carrots to dip. I would visit again next time Im in the area.

We eat here frequently, and will keep eating here. I have two suggestions for improvement: First, they need to better marinate their lamb and make sure they’re cooked through because they’re sometimes just too rare or raw. They can use a temp stick to reach the desired temperature so that inside the lamb is not uncooked, although it can be rare or medium —but uncooked is not right. Two, I think as a frequent eater of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, I could say confidently that they could do better with the ratio of their portions and pricing—especially since one of their main ingredients is garbanzo beans, which is literally one of the cheapest and healthiest sourced items, even if it is locally farmed and organic. If they observe these two things, I’m pretty sure their ratings will also improve dramatically, especially for frequent visitors who want to go there even more often.

The food is great and the service is good too. Taking two stars off because their restrooms are absolutely disgusting

Good food as the other locations as expected. Service could be better. Not 5 stars because the failure to disclose the 3% living wage surcharge / fee (aka greed). It’s on the menu at the very bottom in fine print. Was not presented to me when I paid though. Adjust your tips accordingly! 3.5/5 stars.

Pros: good selection of food and beverages, refreshing coleslaw served at the beginning, cute outdoor seating Cons: slow service, sometimes the server never returned for the request we had made, food was very disappointing:schnitzel and beef kebab were super hard and dry, basmati rice looked old.

+5

Wow, I’ve been here a few times and the food is always at least a high B. Normally, the service is a C. However, over the last several visits I’ve noticed a sharp decline over each visit. Tonight, I was the only person in the restaurant to order a takeout entree. I stood at the cash register for 5 minutes without being spoken to, only side glances from staff. Finally ordered, and was subsequently ignored for 20 minutes while waiting for the food. No offer of a water, no small talk. When I tried to ask to buy a coke I was ignored again as I stood at the register. They finally came to ring me out, but the waiter had so much attitude that I couldn’t bring myself to give them any more money. Eventually, the food is ready the waiter put on the counter, said my name and walked away before I could even come up to grab the food. Did not say thank you or any common things a customer service person would say. Very disappointed in such rude service.

Oren’s shorted us part of take out dinner ordered. No rice with lamb.skewers as promised and paid for. 1/17/26

This place is not worth your hard earned cash! The slow not freshly made, it seems pre- made and warmed up in a microwave. The best thing is their various sauces. For 30 bucks I got three sticks of dry beef sticks and rice. That's it!???

I used to really enjoy the hummus here, but the quality and taste have dropped a lot compared to before. It used to be rich, smooth, and flavorful, but now it feels bland and nowhere close to what it used to be. Really hope they bring back the original recipe or quality, because it was one of my favorites.

Food is fine. They messed up my order and then when I asked to check the bill if things got mixed up, the manager said “the difference is only 1 dollar but it is fine I refunded it for you”. Sorry, it is not my fault, and you are not doing me a courtesy.

We’ve been getting food from here for quite some time and each time there’s been something wrong. Sometimes they give less pita bread than ordered, sometimes throw in a different side than ordered. These are pretty small errors and generally not a big deal. Food industry is tough business. But yesterday, we got uncooked chicken in our order! That’s just unacceptable. Got icked out.

Expensive at best! I ordered chicken skewers. With the sweet potato fries and a 20% tip, it came to $36. There were 4 small pieces of chicken in it that were no longer than my pinkie. This is certainly not sustainable and economical if your cost to serve is so high that you need to cut corners. This is the last time I am entering this store. I can buy 2 fullnorganic chickens for $36 btw!

I ordered Lamb skewer and it was just horrible. The meat was rubber and absolutely unchewable, as well as absolutely hot!!! In addition, they poured it with mayo! For what? How can you spoil lamb? It was either undercooked or a horrible choice of chunk. The are a lot of Mediterranean places where you can get a juicy and tender lamb skewer, and I usually have a positive experience with lamb meat, but here they have to do much much better. They have to learn and improve their technique. The basmati rice was dry and over fried, perhaps leftovers from yesterday. I can’t believe I just spent $20 for a single skewer that was just inedible. Such a bad experience for a pricey restaurant.
