Don’t miss Abu Hassan, the go-to place for a plate of creamy chickpea goodness. Take it to go or eat in house; you won’t be disappointed. For a real local experience, order the ‘masabacha’—it’s another version of hummus, topped off with chickpeas in their juice and other trimmings.
While you can wander down just about any Jaffa or central Tel Aviv street and find at least one – if not more – falafel stands and hummus shops, we’re all about quality over quantity. The warm, creamy combination thrives on the perfect balance of stewed chickpeas, lemon, garlic, tehina, oil and other herbs & spices. From decadent flavors to ideal textures and adventurous toppings (including vegan-friendly options like sautéed mushrooms or the iconic meat-lover’s ground beef), these hummus hotspots set themselves apart from their tourist trap neighbors. Check out the best hummus restaurants in Tel Aviv for a little taste of heaven that will keep you coming back again and again and again...
