"In the running for best Old City hummus and falafel joint, Lina's moreish hummus – usually glistening with olive oil – is among Jerusalem's best. There are two dining rooms on opposite sides of the street, though this unassuming spot is easy to miss."

"After the best hummus in the Old City? This local favourite gets our vote. The standard platter includes a bowl of fresh hummus with your choice of topping (chickpea, tahina, fuul or pine nuts), some pickles and a basket of pita bread."

Excellent, excellent hummus. Something like Nutella meets peanut butter, only helthy. I thought I've already tried the best one until I've tried this one.

"No meal would be complete without an order (or two, or three) of Shaya’s light, fluffy, and extravagantly-topped plates of hummus—think piquant lamb ragù with crispy chickpeas—and plenty of wood-fired-to-order pita to swipe it all up."

"The food at Em-Sherif was phenomenal. All of the Lebanese staples were there, but far better than any I’ve had outside Lebanon – Hummous, Fettouche, Tabbouleh – accompanied by delicious local wines."

"There I tucked into a feast of warm hummus. The food was excellent, and the Ksara Reserve du Couvent that went with it was the perfect accompaniment."
