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.

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...
Heavenly hummus restaurants in Tel Aviv
The Syrian was a hummus spot in the Yemenite Quarter famous for their light, fluffy hummus, which closed down after many years of business. Lucky for us, the owner’s son opened The Son of the Syrian, which serves up the same recipe of luscious chickpeas heaven. The restaurant serves a great plate, with options for add ins including fava beans, tahina, egg and more.
