Orens Hummus Express — Restaurant in Palo Alto

Whenever we're having a craving for some really good hummus, Oren's is the place to go. Unlike the location on University Ave, this smaller satellite location has a smaller menu and has a more "fast food takeout" approach to it. The food is still just as good as the full fledged location and we found that getting food items was a lot faster, even on busy days.

If you haven't tried hummus outside of the prepackaged stuff in the refrigerated sections in supermarkets, you absolutely have to try the hummus here. The hummus is rich, creamy, and decadent, and the pillowy soft pitas go with it perfectly. There are a variety of toppings to choose from, and if you feel like trying a little of everything, there are entrée plates that include smaller portions of popular items like the hummus, babaganoush, Israeli salad, and so forth. Service is fast and friendly, and for those who are sticklers for parking, there is plenty available in the Town and Country Plaza where this restaurant is located. With both great food and service, this is a place we'll definitely be...

So far so good. Corporate management is at the location to watch overall operations. Food tasted very fresh. I believe it is its first fast food style location. There is only one big table inside. They have a lot of tables and chairs outside. They also offer $7.5 meal for students which is very nice. I like to go to a restaurant when it just opened. Food typically tastes at its best. It is the most important thing that they can keep up the same quality and taste. For now this location offers the beat taste hummus compared to other locations. Hopefully, it will...

Increasing prices ($16 for single serving of dark meat chicken and hummus), staff was unprofessional, prepared my simple order incorrectly (chicken hummus with pita), charged me incorrectly, and when I asked to get it fixed they said it would be a 20min wait (to warm up pre-cooked chicken) with only one other customer at 2pm on a Monday. This is third time my bowl has been messed up. They used to be better, now it feels like fast food but way overpriced. Will no longer recommend Oren’s to friends and will definitely stop using them for catering...
