Hummus Yummy — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I had 2 hours to drive anywhere in LA to find the best of the best hummus and my research led me to Hummus Yummy. I was skeptical that a hole in the wall Israeli joint in the valley would be the answer, but was I pleasantly surprised.

After trying a ton of places, this is currently the unofficial champion. They have some of the best hummus, falafel and vegan apps in all of big bad LA. Being a recent transplant from the Bay Area, they remind me of Oren's Hummus.

Shachar is the friendliest owner who made some recommendations. Everyone of which turned out to be excellent. He also hooked me up with Amba Sauce (tangy mango pickle), Yemenite Schug - Spicy Herb Garlic Pepper Sauce Recipe, some of the most flavorful Tahini (ground sesame paste) and for once I did not need the hot sauce to add any flavor.

Everything is authentic - reminded me of all I ate in a trip to the Middle East. They bake their own (pita) bread from imported ingredients, fresh everyday!

My partner isn't the biggest fan of falafels, and she went for a second helping. While the falafel was excellent, crisp, chewy and delicious, it was the hummus that blew my mind. Go for the Hummus Falafel, 4 pieces of falafels with the most luxurious and fresh hummus.

You know it's authentic when you get raw onion (lol), olives and pepper as you do in the levant to scoop your hummus along with Pita. The star is the mushroom hummus, with succulent pieces of cooked mushrooms that sit on top of pillowy soft hummus with olive oil and tahini.

Competing on its own stride, is masabacha, a thicker kind of hummus with whole chickpeas. I got mine loaded with sides of Mushrooms, Roasted Spicy Bell Pepper, Fried Eggplant, Grilled Onions - all for a very reasonable and worth it $1/side.

Since I felt greedy, and it was a schlep to drive to valley village from Santa Monica, I took Shachar's advice and loaded up on vegan apps. And boy was that an insanely delicious decision.

Veggie Kobbeh - 2 deep fried bulgur wheat mix spices stuffed with veggie mash. Vegan Shawarma - with grilled onions and garnished with parsley . Vegan margez: 2 stir fried spicy vegan margez served with tahini sauce.

Of the 3 vegan apps, Kobbeh was my favorite, following by the schwarma. I really liked the flavor of the vegan margez sausage, but the 'sausage casing' put me off a little and made it plasticky.
