Israel- Center- Hummus

Ramleh

Ramleh is one of the Hummus capitals of Israel. There are a lot of places there and most are great.

Rating: *****

Perhaps the most well known and best Hummus in Ramleh. Some would argue in the whole of Israel. They are known not just for their Hummus but also for their Mesubache which is a Hummus dish- Hummus with warm Chickpeas cooked. Try it.

Everyone seems to like it. I'm not crazy about it, but how can I argue with everyone...
In the middle of the old market in Acres. Just ask and hopefully the people there won't guide you to one of it's many competitors.
It's open every day till 2:00 pm except Saturday.


Nazareth: Dianna
Rating *****

Since Israel is a Hummus Capital, I decided to divide Israel into three main parts- North, Center and South and write about the wonderful Hummus places there.
Nazareth has one of the best Hummus restaurants in Israel and in the world. Check it out. Also try their Kabob which is exquisite.

Israel- Tel Aviv Hummus

Considered by many the best Hummus in Tel Aviv- this tiny place is open for very few hours a day and closes in the early afternoon. Come there around 11:00 am and expect to wait for a miniscule table. The Hummus is good. Many love it, I felt it's not great!

Israel- Jerusalem Hummus

Jerusalem has a lot of great Hummus joints, both in East and West Jerusalem.

Philadelphia
****
East Jerusalem. Can be scary and dangerous to get to as it's in East Jerusalem- but considered one of the best Hummus places around.

THAILAND: Bangkok, Koh Samui Island, Changmai: Best Hummus

The following review was written by an avid traveller who has lived in Thailand for over a year.

"Being a huge hummus lover I've got to admit that there's no decent place for Hummus lovers to get a real Hummus experience in all of Thailand. It's strange cause there are so many middle eastern and Israelis travelling in this country every year. Here are a few of the places, that do sell Hummus- but they all got 1-2 stars in my book:

BANGKOK

These Hummus restaurants are popular with both Israeli and other middle eastern tourists in Kawasan road in Bankok.

Non of these three places have great Hummus, but they will satisfy immediate Hummus cravings for those travelling for a few month and needing a quick fix of Hummus.

1. Israeli connection

2. LaMetayel

3. Shoshana

Rating: *


KO SAMUI

Ko Samui doesn't have decent Hummus, but there's a decent Falafel joint that has Hummus. It's located near Beit Habbad opposite Crystal restaurant.

RATING: **

CHANGMAI

Jerusalem Falafel on Moon Muang near Thapae Gate is probably best.
It gets mixed reviews some love it some hate it. But at least it's there.
