Quick Eats – Hummus Bar

Apr13

Restaurant: The Hummus Bar

Location: 18743 Ventura Blvd, Tarzana, CA 91356. (818) 344-6606

Date: March 6, 2018

Cuisine: Isreali

Rating: Decent for what it is

_

Occasionally I’m stranded for solo meals in that culinary purgatory known as the Valley.

I needed something fast in Tarzana and ended up at The Hummus Bar and Grill.

Interior is.

There is actually a bar, which I sat at — it was kinda dirty.

The menu. I was surprised to find a lack of dairy (no lebneh) and Kosher Meat — but I asked, they aren’t actually fully kosher, just “sort of.”

Flat bread. Yum. Anyway, there was this option for $7.95 to add “bottomless salads” to an entree, which I did. It comes with all the below.

Dressing. Hmmm. Didn’t know what to do with this.

Pickles. Ok. It is a Jewish place.

Pickled Cabbage etc. This is more my style, I love pickled stuff like this.

Eggplant with tahini.

A different roasted eggplant

Baba ganoush. Aka eggplant paste!

Another dip that was sort of eggplanty.

Deadly chickpea dip.

Chopped Liver. I actually love chopped liver.

Tabouli. Not the best version ever, but ok.

Egg salad. Yeah, like a deli.

Roast Pepper dip. I ate a bunch of this, but I’ve had way better pepper dips.

Corn.

Beets.

Kefta kabob and lamb kabob. With tahini. Solid meats, if slightly chewy. I like tahini but I would have much preferred some lebneh.

Also comes with French Fries. I don’t like these rough cut ones.

And rice.

Hummus Bar doesn’t exactly execute on the food brilliantly, but it is a mega-deal. You get A LOT! The salads could have badly used some more balance — way too many eggplant varieties — and I would have liked lebneh. But it was an okay place.
