Known for their assortment of hummus (that is where the restaurant name 'The Hummus House' derives from); the restaurant offers eastern Mediterranean cuisine, and have recently introduced burgers, pasta, wings and dynamite shrimps/chicken as well. Overlooking the gorgeous JLT lake, with indoor seating as well as a dreamy outdoor seating (decorated with fairy lights). The restaurant is affordable and serves generous portions for the price paid, with excellent customer service and a variety of options to choose from.
Apart from the value for money, food is served fresh, and presentation is worth mentioning.
Parking is easily available at Cluster Y (which can be a struggle in JLT). If you're visiting during lunch hours, it is recommended that you make a reservation as the restaurant is packed during this time.
Our order comprised of the following:
Hummus with Jalapeno: It was my first time trying hummus with jalapeno, and it turned out better than expected. Loved the slight heat of the pepper combined with creamy texture of the hummus. Served with khubz
Stuffed Falafel: This was a different item too! I've always tried the regular falafel, so decided to give this one a shot. The falafel was stuffed with chopped onions, sumac, HH special spices and served with tahini dip.
Muhammara, Labneh and Falafel: If you're bored of the typical manakish, try this item. Baked bread layered with labneh, Muhammara (spicy dip made of walnuts, red bell peppers, pomegranate molasses, and breadcrumbs) and small pieces of falafel. Next time when i'm craving manakish, i will only order this one!
Grilled Chicken & Avocado Salad: After much contemplation, i decided to give order this salad and loved it Chicken strips: Even after my photoshoot, though the chicken strips turned cold they retained their juices and crunch. They tasted equally good with and without the dip
Fettucine Alfredo: Ordered the pink sauce. Though the sauce was good, chicken could've used a bit more seasoning. Overall it was a decent item to order
Double fish and chips: Couldn't resist the aroma of freshly prepared fish. Loved the crunchy coating. Served with fries (seasoned with their special spices), couldn't get enough of them so we requested the staff to bring us an extra portion
Mojito: Flushed our food down with refreshing and delicious blue lagoon and strawberry mojito

Their main dishes consist of different variants of hummus, hence the cafe's name. Aside from their yummy hummus, they also serve burgers, pasta and desserts.
Personally tried their:
Shrimp Pasta- this is one of the reason why I love this place. One of the reason why I would love to keep coming back!
Smokehouse Beef Burger- they served this with a huge fried onion and a very tasty barbecue sauce fillings and the beef patty is so tender!
Grilled Chicken and Avocado Salad- what I love about this is the veggies! All are fresh and full of chicken strips!
Muhammara Manaeesh - this is different from all the manaeesh I have tried! Its topped of blended red peppers and tomato that made it so tasty!
Honey Chicken Wings - I love how crispy it is even when it's cold! The amount of sweetness is perfect!
Red Velvet- that sweetness is so perfect! It melts in the mouth!
For drinks we had Mix Berry and Passion Fruit Mocktails.
Also this place has an outdoor seating facing the view of JLT lake that made this place so calming.
I highly recommend to try all their foods from the menu. You...
Read moreThe Hummus house is your budget-friendly solution for all your lunches, dinners and dates. The Hummus House serves a variety of salads and fast food with an impeccable taste at a pocket-friendly cost. It is located in the JLT area so is very convenient for all the employees working in the offices located there looking for a variety of lunch and break options in the neighborhood.
We ordered Avocado chicken salad, Pasta, Fish & chips, Wings, neighborhoodand their classic Burger. The best characteristic about their food was that it wasn’t heavy. It was light and refreshing. You felt full but you weren’t tired. (As I like to call it, you weren’t in a ‘food’ coma after eating). One was still energetic to go back to work.
For health-conscious professionals, you can tell them to customize your salads and sauces. For fast-food eaters, you can tell them to make it crispier or spicier. The food is amazing!
The ambiance is fresh and not dull. Paid RTA parking is also available.
Do give this budget-friendly...
