Orens Hummus Express, Palo Alto CA

Always reliably good hummus. Rich, fresh, delicious! It's hard to find better hummus around here. That said, I'm going with 4 stars because I feel like that is the ceiling for all hummus

Great lunch spot for quick bite, I always get the yellow falafel sandwich with the red spicy sauce, always filling and healthy.

We had pita bread sandwiches which were delicious. We ordered online and they were ready very quickly.

Delicious! I had a hummus express plate w garlic falafel. I savored every bite. Plenty of food for lunch (too much, actually, I couldn't finish it). The inside was loud (music) with just a large multi-seat table so I ate outside. Service was as expected. Love the sustainable serving wear and the veggie options.

One of my favorite place to grab the falafel bowls. The yellow garlic falafel bowl and the green herb falafel bowls are must try.

Excellent takeout focused on Israeli cuisine. The manager was especially friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Catered to American vegetarian and sustainable options if needed.

Food was reasonably tasty though decently-pricy for what it is; over $30 for two sandwiches. I was disappointed by the counter service; I asked two or three times to try to clarify whether the “beef kabob” sandwich was ground beef or beef chunks, and was eventually told it wasn’t ground beef, but then upon getting the sandwich, it was indeed ground beef. Doesn’t seem like a complicated question, and especially given the menu isn’t large, hard to imagine how neither of the two people at the counter could answer correctly.

Authentic goodness of Orens in a togo format. Their buy 3 get one offer is nice. Jaffa hummus is extraordinary

The vegan lamb is very bad, the smoky flavor and smell is so much that it was inedible. My whole living room still smells like it after 3 hours!

Definitely one of my favorite places in Palo Alto! All options are delicious and their hummus are another level, especially the thick one…the bowls are my favorite
Besides that their delivery is consistently good, everything well packed and looking good. Service was also very kind and helpful

Whenever we're having a craving for some really good hummus, Oren's is the place to go. Unlike the location on University Ave, this smaller satellite location has a smaller menu and has a more "fast food takeout" approach to it. The food is still just as good as the full fledged location and we found that getting food items was a lot faster, even on busy days.

If you haven't tried hummus outside of the prepackaged stuff in the refrigerated sections in supermarkets, you absolutely have to try the hummus here. The hummus is rich, creamy, and decadent, and the pillowy soft pitas go with it perfectly. There are a variety of toppings to choose from, and if you feel like trying a little of everything, there are entrée plates that include smaller portions of popular items like the hummus, babaganoush, Israeli salad, and so forth. Service is fast and friendly, and for those who are sticklers for parking, there is plenty available in the Town and Country Plaza where this restaurant is located. With both great food and service, this is a place we'll definitely be visiting again.

Got a yellow garlic pita sandwich to go. I kept it in its compact box container for 90 minutes in my backpack while bike commuting. It held up really well. Sandwich was perfecto. Falafel was tasty and moist. Sauce guide: red=mild/medium, green=hot.

Increasing prices ($16 for single serving of dark meat chicken and hummus), staff was unprofessional, prepared my simple order incorrectly (chicken hummus with pita), charged me incorrectly, and when I asked to get it fixed they said it would be a 20min wait (to warm up pre-cooked chicken) with only one other customer at 2pm on a Monday. This is third time my bowl has been messed up. They used to be better, now it feels like fast food but way overpriced. Will no longer recommend Oren’s to friends and will definitely stop using them for catering at Stanford.

Food is tasty but I have felt sick after eating here 3 times in a row. Hard pass on Orens.

Our meal was OK. Flavors were good but for the price we paid and what are likely not too expensive ingredients the quality was not very good. I had the chicken schnitzel pita sandwich. The chicken was over done and tough. My wife had a falafel bowl which was mostly rice and light with 4-5 quite small balls of falafel. We’ve had Oren’s catering which was excellent but this was a let down.
