Oren's Hummus - Mountain View

The Chicken Skewer with hummus and small Israeli salad is great. I've ordered several times and quality is consistently good. The only change I would ask is that they mention the instant coffee in their ingredient list in the DoorDash app for Chocolate Mousse. I don't drink coffee so I would like to know this ingredient ahead of time to inform my menu choices. I didn't see it in the ingredients list there when I ordered on 1 June 2023.

Ordered pita chicken on gluten free pita and garlic falafel. So good. Always fresh and flavorful. Have yet to order any menu item that was anything but fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.

The hummus and soft pita bread were easy to eat post wisdom teeth removal

Cold food, likely prep was done yesterday . I recommend not coming here on Monday or Tuesday during lunch quality is subpar on these days. Thursday quality of the food is awesome. I've communicated this via DoorDash app to restaurant, no improvement as cad as I can tell

Oren's Hummus Shop  126 Castro St., 650-938-6736.  .  A branch of the mother ship in Palo Alto that specializes in authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, this spot by the Cal Train station offers a nice outdoor space that lets you fully enjoy the sound of the signals and passing trains.  The food style reminds me of what I enjoyed at similar simple spots in Israel, and that should be no surprise since many of the basic ingredients are imported from there.  A complimentary bowl of tangy coleslaw arrives with the menu and helps tide you over until your order arrives.  Service can be slow.  My menu favorite is the sampler plate that includes eggplant three ways and a slab of labane yogurt cheese, plus marinated beets Moroccan carrots, and fluffy pita breads.  I always like to purchase some hummus and eggplant to go for my next day’s lunch.
