After weeks of research and training in the Middle East, the team behind Village Hummus in San Ramon has dedicated itself to bringing the joys of traditional hummus to the neighborhood. This isn’t your standard grocery store hummus — this is the real deal. 

Served with warm and fluffy house-baked pita bread, Village Hummus’s chickpea and tahini spread comes topped with your choice of mushrooms, fava beans, ground beef, or mesabaha. Other menu options include falafel, shawarma, or schnitzel. Can’t decide? Taste a bit of everything by ordering the Village Maze combo, which includes hummus, eggplant dip, three falafel balls and chopped salad with pita bread. It’s a lot of food but be sure you don’t fill up too much, because regulars say you shouldn’t miss out on the tahini cookies or rugelach for dessert. Takeout, delivery and catering ordering all available via the website or the Yelp app.
