The Hummus & Pita Co

It’s fine. Got 2 plates: chicken breast & chicken shawarma.
Chicken breast was cubed into thick pieces. Dry, tasteless, and it was so thick then when you bit into it, the inside was fully cooked but cold. Chicken shawarma is where it’s at. Not only is it cheaper than the chicken breast cubes, but the chicken shawarma is also marinated in a sauce and it comes out warm and delicious. Don’t make the noob mistake of ordering chicken shawarma.
The beet roots are a no. I love Mediterranean food but this place won’t be my new stomping ground. The hummus is rather bland.

Delicious food and very quick made. Staff isn’t that friendly but hey, it’s NYC =) Very recommandable!

Great falafel on pita with many different choices for sides. Loved Spanish eggplant side choice. There are many vegetarian choices. Easy and fast to order. The line at lunch time was huge but moved relatively fast.

This place is really, really good. Amazing hummus, fresh ingredients and lots of options. It had a Chipotle feel where you pick you meat and holder (pita, bowl, plate) then go down the line and add sides. Yum! Staff was also very nice and helpful. Will definitely go again if I’m ever back in NY.

Dear god! I was not aware that this place was open until last night when I was going to pass out of hunger. Unilocal has totally saved my life.
I had one of the best falafel sandwiches I’ve had. (This doesn’t include Mamoun’s) I ordered your regular falafel sandwich in a pita bread with house hummus and salad and it was heaven on Earth. However, I came here at night an hour before they closed so I guess the service wasn’t on point as a lot of the food wasn’t ready or they had run out of items. In any case, awesome food and quick. They also have beer in case you’re in the mood for a drink without the bar atmosphere.
One downfall is that there are a lot of homeless folks in the area so sitting on the first floor isn’t ideal if you don’t want to be bothered.

Super!!! Delicious food, friendly staff. Best hummus and falafel ever :-)
Everything is fresh. You can make Your perfect composition what You want to eat.
It’s perfect place for relax after sightseeing or to relax from loud NYC

Humus and Pita — To Die For — and in plain words… THE BEST
This review is from a very satisfied customer — Ticket Number ending in 1751 — 04−29−16
New York City finally has a quick food restaurant that is so FRESH, TASTY and NOT either highly caloric or non-​nutritious. The place to go to eat SMART is Humus and Pita. The pita (whole wheat) was tasty along with the fresh vegetables and chicken. This is all TOP SHELF food that — when you finish — you actually feel satisfied. And MORE satisfied than that place that starts with a CH… The whole restaurant was very clean, and the service was the AMAZING. It is not my style to write reviews, as most restaurants are either mediocre or just plain not that good. Humus and Pita meets all the criteria for a satisfying and nutritious meal — on the go.
And the service is what puts this establishment — OVER THE TOP. Never having ever been to this place, I was warmly greeted by the Counter Person — Luis. This is what made my visit worthwhile. He selected various sides — all which were perfect, and put together a meal that was PERFECT. And this was not done in a hasty, get the customer served manner. I honestly feel that he really cared about the customer — and THAT is why I am writing this review. In other words, he exemplifies total Food & Beverage professionalism — which makes this place the GEM for all of the workers in the area — as well as the tourists.
Please do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant — and STOP the quick pizza, chex-​mex, Chip… syndrome — and enjoy a high quality meal with fresh vegetables, tasty hummus and excellent beverages — such as Green Tea, etc.
I hope that this review is published — in the hopes that more people will catch on to correct eating — as this is the place to do it.
All my best to Humus and Pita — Theater District.

I got the falafel plate was great. The texture of the pita was nice a fluffy. The sides that came with the platter (choose your own) were really good too. A lot of food for $ 8.35!
Chicken shawarma was packed and very flavorful. Mango sauce was too tart for me. Garlic sauce and tatziki were really nice too. Staff was helpful and leading us newbies on how to order.

THE FOOD IS SUPER DELICIOUS! and they have great seating upstairs you can view the city.
The price is decent and they are super clean :)

Staff isn’t ace but the Falafels and hummus are.
Not to compare but can’t help but say that it kicks Maoz’s butt. Their hummus flavors are all wonderful, creamy, and not too garlicky (personal pet peeve).
Falafels are also smooth in taste and wonderfully wonderful (also sans the overpowering garlicky-​ness most places have the problem with).

Round 2! The experience was much better during my second go-​around. I ordered the same meal that gave me some issues the day before and the delivery arrived promptly.
This time the food met all of my expectations based on all the reviews I read on Unilocal.Previously my platter was good, aside from the fact the gyro was bad and had a dry/​crispy texture. This time the gyro was tender, juicy and very flavorful. The side dishes (corn salad, cous cous and cole slaw) along with the hummus was awesome.
All around the meal was terrific and I’m glad that after an off night, they were able to notice my feedback and the results were solid. I can say that this experience was far better than my previous one and I’m looking forward to ordering more food from here in the future.

Awesome location with a great view. I was looking for something healthy around lunchtime in time square and this place came up on Unilocal.A lady was handing out 10% off coupon outside the door so I decided to go in. It looks a lot like chipotle for Greek food and is set up very similar.
I tried the lamb and beef and it got one side with it. It turned out very nice. I did have a miscommunication with checkout person which the manager had to fix and was kind of stressed out about. Maybe it’s because they were so new but I definitely would go back for their great food quality.

The food is amazing here! I had the chicken pita with Israeli salad, regular hummus, and purple cabbage. The pita is literally stuffed with so much food, if you’re in the area, definitely give this place a go! They have upstairs seating & restroom.

I absolutely loooooove pita chips and hummus! I was meeting up with a friend for lunch during the work day and she was coming from Port Authority, and we found that Hummus & Pita Co was a close place. The ordering process is very much similar to Chipotle, where you first pick your protein and then toppings afterwards. I decided to get a falafel bowl with cous cous and babaganoush. Every order comes with a slab of hummus and pita bread!
As far as the taste, the hummus was a little bland so I think next time I’m going to get flavored hummus (it costs extra $$). However the portions were very good and I was able to have some food leftover! Definitely get a bowl over a gyro — you get so much more food.

I liked the place. Had the chicken breast on a plate with 3 sides… Guys were really helpful with the ordering process … The «steak» didn’t look too much like a winner — but if you read my review of the Thai joint in London… I’m a bit jaded toward beef right now lol
Seating is good– has upstairs too. Clean and has refillable fountain drinks.
All in all a great place. Right next to some bus stop too… Which is odd, because we are going to catch a bus but at the 33^rd street stop lol — a lot of people eating here are waiting for a bus.

I can’t get enough of this place. Seriously! Everything is just exploding w/​flavor and super tasty! I kinda wish I hadn’t discovered The Hummus & Pita Co. b/​c now I’m addicted! Try it, and I’m pretty sure you’ll feel the same way.
The first couple times I visited, I got a pita sandwich… but then I learned that you can ditch most of the dirty carbs and get a meal just as delicious AND filling. I usually get the Shawarma Chicken Platter, which comes with three sides! It’s definitely the way to go if you have big appetite like me! I’ve tried some of the other proteins but seem to always return to the chicken shawarma b/​c it’s very tender and seasoned just right!
As for the sides for the platter, you can’t go wrong with just about any of them. I typically try to go for the healthy-​ish ones and get the Israeli Salad, Tabouli, and Sautéed Veggies. THEN, the best part of all is the toppings/​accoutrements selection. It’s freakin’ unlimited, and all of them are on target! I load up on lettuce, tomato, purple cabbage, pickled onions, green and red pepper paste, feta cheese, +++ Just get them all. You will not regret it!
Note that platters also come w/​a pita (white or wheat) on the side, but I always tell them to not include it; it’s not really needed.

I’ve been to Roti on 43^rd probably more times than I should… So I was expecting Hummus & Pita Co. to do me the same favor and give me similar flavors for the same price. So they pretty much serve the same things, although I believe Hummus & Pita probably has way more options.
The way this works is you line up and you choose what you’d like — it could be a pita shell filled with food or a bowl/​platter (two or three sides, up to you). I believe hummus is free (it’s called hummus & pita co.), with a choice of a protein and three sides plus any sauces and toppings. I went with chicken with tzaziki, hummus, israeli salad, Mediterranean rice, and grilled veggies. No problem with the sides at all — plus pita bread was included, yum. What I really didn’t like was the chicken — it just wasn’t as flavorful as I had liked. And the hummus was really bitter, not like hummus should have tasted. Maybe that’s just my taste or because I’ve had Roti, where the hummus and meat are more suited to what I like to eat.
The line moves fairly quickly and the price isn’t bad for Midtown lunch ($ 10). They also offer boxed fruit and nuts, etc. I would highly recommend if you really love choices, because they have a lot, or if you’re vegetarian. Don’t go for the hummus.

The Hummus & Pita Co is my favorite Mediterranean fast food spot in NYC. They have perfect falafels with the perfect crispy exterior. I also love the variety of toppings and sides that you can choose for the platter.
I usually get the Falafel Platter, which includes 5 balls of crispy falafels, 3 sides, and as many «toppings» as you want. My go-​to sides are roasted eggplant, baba ganoush, Israeli cous cous, or stuffed grape leaves. Some of the sides, especially the roasted eggplant and cous cous, are really oily though so probably not that healthy. The unlimited toppings include pickled cabbage, pickles, lettuce, onions, etc.
You also get to choose different types of hummus. I would recommend the original or spinach & feta.

The Unilocal app is like a local friend… guiding your clueless ass in a foreign land…
Thanks Jeremy Stoppleman for creating Unilocal (CEO and inventor of Unilocal) for saving my keester in odd travel situations… not knowing where to find a good meal QUICK…
Found this gem, in Times Square… using the Unilocal App like a red tipped cane… for my blind ass…
I didn’t even know what to order, so I looked at the pics… hmmm this looks good… and ordered straight from the Unilocal Pics…(so I didn’t look dumb) ahahahahaha
This place is like a Subway Sandwiches in the ordering sense. you order from the bar, but the food is different and made me want it the rest of my trip… food you think about on later days… when you are hungry. that doesn’t happen to me often… but when it does. you know it is true food love…
ORDER: Laffa Bread, with hummus spread, with falafal, grilled/​fried eggplant, cucumbers, Taziki sauce, and some chili spice sauce on the side… The equivalent of a very humongous burrito… sub 10 bucks…
The only meal I had eaten all day… but I was full and happy and ready to tackle the subway crowds again…

Holy shit, do you need a sandwich that will feed you and 3 other people? I don’t but that’s what I got. The laffa wrap was twice the size of a chipotle burrito and filled with so much stuff you’d think they’re trying to get rid of it all. For $ 10? Is this a joke?
It was very delicious

Simply A-​W-​E-​S-​O-​M-​E. If you like Hummus, Taboulé, freshly grilled meat and pita — this is your place.
