Juuls Hummus — Restaurant in Utrecht

I really couldn't be more disappointed with this place. To be honest: the hummus is good quality, as is the mutabal (which of course is "baba ghannouch" in the West for some reason), but that's about it. As a concept, they have completely failed to understand the idea of "street food". There is absolutely no reason to charge 5 Euros for a small (200 grams) portion of hummus; yes it's freshly made, but I make hummus at home and it's not the most difficult thing in the world to scale up. To top it off, there are no free frills like slices of tomatoes or onions which you would expect to get from a proper "Levantine street food" establishment and the tiny (like, really tiny) loaves of pita are 1 Euro a piece.

So yeah, the hummus is great but not worth the prices...

Great place for quick lunch or a light take out dinner near Wilhelmina park in Utrecht. Delicious vegan and vegetarian options with 'the best humus you ever tasted' (I am not kidding) topped with grilled vegetables or if you prefer some meat, pulled chicken or beef stew options. Dine in the nice store itself or take it to the park on a sunny day.

If you're lucky you may meet the passionate owner himself. Stay for one of his great coffees and ask him about his travels with his Israeli girlfriend and hear how he got inspired to start the store and...

What a gem in the neighborhood. We had the hummus with mushroom and eggplant, and the one with egg and eggplant. Both were absolutely delicious. The hummus was rich and flavorful, and the toppings were perfectly done. The owners were incredibly hospitable and welcoming. On top of that, there are lots of vegetarian and vegan options, which makes it even better. Such a great place to...
