Israel- South- Hummus

Most of the great Hummus comes from the North Of Israel. Some is also in the center. The south is somewhat harder.
Not that they don't have hundreds of Hummus joints but there just isn't the same level of mythical Hummus there.

Perhaps the best is Halil in Ramleh, but I treated that as center rather than as South but technically some could place it in the south.

Israel- Center- Hummus

Ramleh

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

HALIL
Kehilat Detroit 6
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.

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.

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.
