Hummus Bros

Totally agree with other reviewers...

I just tried this place for the first time and I have to agree with the other reviews- it's a brilliant little find. The food is cheap, tasty, hot and fresh, and feels a little more salubrious than your average anaemic soggy supermarket sandwich. Three of us ate for £15 and we were offered free mint tea at the end by smiling staff. I'll definitely be back.

The secret to Hummus Bros is their hummus. No big surprise there then, eh?

They make it fresh every morning and manage to ensure that the finished article is very smooth and creamy. The reason it tastes so good is that they don't put garlic in the hummus but give you a separate tiny container of mysteriously garlicky substance.

As well as the traditional chickpea topping (go for the hard-boiled egg option!) there is the choice of fava beans (mashed brown mexican beans), vegetable salad, mushrooms (stewed button mushrooms with caramelised onions), guacamole (ripe avocado blended with crunchy red, peppers, tomatoes & red onions), chunky beef (a seasonal, slow cooked stew with tender beef), and chicken (chicken sautéed in a light tomato sauce). There are usually a couple of specials which change daily. In the past the Chinese chicken and curried chicken have been particularly mouthwatering.

When Hummus Bros first opened it was an excellent venue for lunch. Nowadays it gets very busy at lunchtimes, often with a queue right out the door. It's best to get there before 12:15 or wait until after 14:30 if you want some peace!

So reads the Hummus Bros. slogan!

Started by two students who wanted a healthy, delicious, filling snack, and, discovering hummus, decided to make a business of it, this place really blew me away. We popped in for a light lunch and it was brilliant. Small and cosy, and very clean, this little place near Soho was a top find! They make their hummus fresh daily, and spin it into a bowl before adding your choice of topping in the middle (I had some mouth wateringly succulent sauteed chicken) and serve it with freshly baked hot pitta bread (your choice of white or brown) on the side. To accompany I had freshly made mint and ginger lemonade which was really sharp and had such a kick, but it was delicious and really cleared my palate.

We left extremely full and satisfied, and really not that much lighter in the pocket! 5 stars!
