Known for their assortment of hummus (that is where the restaurant name 'The Hummus House' derives from); the restaurant offers eastern Mediterranean cuisine, and have recently introduced burgers, pasta, wings and dynamite shrimps/chicken as well. Overlooking the gorgeous JLT lake, with indoor seating as well as a dreamy outdoor seating (decorated with fairy lights). The restaurant is affordable and serves generous portions for the price paid, with excellent customer service and a variety of options to choose from.
Apart from the value for money, food is served fresh, and presentation is worth mentioning.
Parking is easily available at Cluster Y (which can be a struggle in JLT). If you're visiting during lunch hours, it is recommended that you make a reservation as the restaurant is packed during this time.
Our order comprised of the following:
- Hummus with Jalapeno: It was my first time trying hummus with jalapeno, and it turned out better than expected. Loved the slight heat of the pepper combined with creamy texture of the hummus. Served with khubz
- Stuffed Falafel: This was a different item too! I've always tried the regular falafel, so decided to give this one a shot. The falafel was stuffed with chopped onions, sumac, HH special spices and served with tahini dip.
- Muhammara, Labneh and Falafel: If you're bored of the typical manakish, try this item. Baked bread layered with labneh, Muhammara (spicy dip made of walnuts, red bell peppers, pomegranate molasses, and breadcrumbs) and small pieces of falafel. Next time when i'm craving manakish, i will only order this one!
- Grilled Chicken & Avocado Salad: After much contemplation, i decided to give order this salad and loved it
- Chicken strips: Even after my photoshoot, though the chicken strips turned cold they retained their juices and crunch. They tasted equally good with and without the dip
- Fettucine Alfredo: Ordered the pink sauce. Though the sauce was good, chicken could've used a bit more seasoning. Overall it was a decent item to order
- Double fish and chips: Couldn't resist the aroma of freshly prepared fish. Loved the crunchy coating. Served with fries (seasoned with their special spices), couldn't get enough of them so we requested the staff to bring us an extra portion
- Mojito: Flushed our food down with refreshing and delicious blue lagoon and strawberry mojito
