Sir Hummus

I generally never do much exploring around the neighbourhood. Not because there’s not good things to find but mostly because. well, I like what I like and I like it obsessively until I stumble upon something else.
Well this was a stumble! One I had bookmarked from a while back and finally got around to stumbling into and let me tell you, I’m really glad I did!
The shop itself is gorgeous and airy but still, with the limited seating– some by the window with stools and a small cluster of tables was incredibly cozy.
The people at the counter welcomed us warmly and actually asked us if it was our first time to visit, as they then were able to explain how the ordering system works.
We only ordered one plate of hummus to share but of course, ordered ALL OF THE SIDES which included eggs, a eggplant salad /​stew and a beef stew. All of it was just. warm and delicious and comfortable!!! The staff also told us to try the super sekrit sauce which were already at the tables– but be warned! It looks innocent enough, all light and pale yellow /​green in colour but it’ll definitely set the tastebuds off with a little bit of burning. But the good kind I promise. not like the kind you need to see a doctor about!
All in all, I think this little place will end up on the regular rotation. Good food, good vibes and good spices! Definitely a winner!

Best hummus in NL! Especially with the mushrooms — cool place to sit or just order for take a way!

I would have never imagined that having hummus for dinner would be enough for me because I can eat, but I was completely satisfied. Great portion, and extremely delicious. Fair price, and if you are not a vegetarian, adding the shredded beef is a must, it’s so tasty.

The service here was fantastic! The gentleman behind the counter was very kind & helpful (& not to mention charming too!). ;) I found the chalkboards that were hanging to the right of the register with hummus explanations to be very helpful — I didn’t realize that hummus/​garbanzo beans have such great benefits for the human body!
I ordered the hummus with the beef along with a pear soda… it was all delicious! I would highly recommend getting the pear soda they have (I believe it comes from New Zealand — never seen it before). The meal comes with a few small sides like olives & beets (as displayed in the picture I took). My meal was very tasty & reasonably priced.
The restaurant was very clean, neat, & chic as well. The only reason I didn’t give this place 5 stars is because I like my hummus to be a lot more citrus-​y. I felt like the hummus tasted a bit on the bland side (so the beef was a good compliment for it). Maybe a bit more lemon juice & paprika would make for the perfect final touch! Nonetheless, that might just be a personal choice but I would definitely go back there & recommend it to anyone (vegetarian, vegan, or none of the above)!
Pro-​tip: You can choose between wheat or white pita.

Sir Hummus a local shop specializing in a meal of hummus with pulled beef, bread, and salad. I was a little skeptical when my friend took me here — was I really going to eat a meal of hummus?
The answer is yes! The concept is simple: hummus, either vegetarian or with meat. I ordered the beef version and was not disappointed. Add the «secret sauce» for an extra kick of spice and deliciousness — it will complete the meal!
The owner is really friendly and the meal felt like a little taste of home for me. Highly recommend!

Sir Hummus is a simple place. It’s all about the hummus and that’s 5****‘s.
This is an example of small specialty places in Amsterdam that seem to be thriving. The people are friendly and I guess the food tastes better because they actually seem to care about it.
The shop is on a corner and has nice light on two sides. There are communal tables and a counter by the window. Nothing really fancy but clean and utilitarian. It’s about the hummus.
You can eat in or take away. It’s still about the hummus.
The prices are quite reasonable, but they don’t like cash. Bring your pin card.
Also be aware that when they sell out of hummus they close for the day. If you’re craving hummus don’t wait until the last minute of their posted hours.

We ran into this place biking in the rain and it was exceptional. The ‘sir hummus’ was very filling. The décor was simple and pleasing. And the staff was friendly. If you are craving hummus, then you need to go here. If you just want food, then you also need to go here!

Best hummus in the Netherlands. Great food, super friendly staff, good & informal atmosphere, reasonable prices. Check it out!

Wer mich kennt, der weiss, dass ich Hummus über alles liebe. Als ich gesehen habe, dass es in Amsterdam ein Lokal gibt, welches nur (!) Hummus anbietet, war ich natürlich gleich Feuer und Flamme.
Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.
WOAH. Megmässiglecker.
Frisch zubereitet, mit Avocado-​Tomatensalätchen und warmen Fladenbrötchen (Vollkorn und Weissmehl) serviert. Es schmeckt bombastisch, authentisch, frisch.
Dazu gibt es lokalen Apfel– oder Birnensaft.
Wer möchte kann sein Hummus auch mit Magic Egg oder Fleisch oder mehr Salat haben. Ich hatte die klassische Version. Sehr hübsch angerichtet.
Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, modern, doch gemütlich. Die jungen Besitzer sind freundlich, offen und bereit Fragen zu beantworten (meine Freundin ist ja etwas eigen und bombardiert (fremde) Menschen gerne mit viel Fragen, bis diese die Flucht ergreifen. haha, doch das ist eine andere Geschichte!).
Hey wir hatten das nachmittags und sind um Mitternacht wild tanzen gegangen und hatten danach immer noch keinen Hunger. Sehr sättigend diese Portion.
Kann euch dieses Lokal nur wärmstens empfehlen. LEKKKKKEEEER! :)

One word-​Delish!
It’s so nice (and so rare) to find wonderful hummus outside of Israel but these guys have done it! Thank you so much and we’ll be back-​alot.

Hummus yummus!
Brothers Guy and Dori bring their tasty hummus all the way from Israel to warm up cold and rainy Amsterdam.
Their recipe takes 24 hours to make, and this labor of love it worth it. I’m a huge fan of the green hot sauce too. If the bottle goes empty it might be because I drank it! Yum!
Drop in to Sir Hummus Tuesday –Sunday, but try to get there early, they sometimes sell out!

«Yes Sir»…
On a cold rainy day, decided to pay this Sir a visit. I was first introduced to hummus topped with all sorts of deliciousness by the London Bros. No, not these two bros. Although, reportedly, the Mozes bros were selling their hummus creations at Malby street market at 1 point.
Not that there’s anything wrong with just plain hummus, and living a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is admirable, I like to have an extra source of protein with every meal. And I like something more exciting, something besides baby food consistency.
So basically, the Hummus Bros helped me discover I liked to be topped.
There were already plenty of places in A’dam serving a decent hummus, but I was missing the option to top. Needless to say my excitement to hear that the Mozes brothers’d decided to open up shop within walking distance.
Originally from Jerusalem, Guy and Dori started out in A’dam as a popup and hummus delivery service. To finally settle down at the perfect location. Take a seat by the window, overlooking the Van der Helstplein while dipping some pita bread in your hummus on a dreary day like today.
On my 1^st visit, I went for the brown egg topped hummus. Have to admit, for a while I was under the impression these brown eggs were laid by a special chicken breed. So I was thinking «Isn’t that nice of these chickens to lay eggs for us humans, especially creamy!»
Turns out, they start off as normal eggs and then undergo a special secretive treatment which turns the eggs brownish and makes especially the yolk more creamy and less grainy somehow.
Next time I’ll try the stewed meat and that 5^th star will follow in hot pursuit.
Perhaps some more options e.g. grilled veggies or mushroom stew would be nice?
But so far I’m definitely a fan. Yes Siree! Particularly loved their green chili sauce!
Ow, btw, you can also buy the tahini paste at the shop they use for their excellent hummus. Cause it’s all about that paste…

Excellent authentic fresh hummus. Simple and casual settings and friendly staff.
Will definitely come back soon.

Wow! Such Lekker Hummus!
The little cozy spot on the corner of Rustenburgerstraat is adorable, with uniquely designed counters and a cool décor. The warm, home-​y feel is definitely perpetuated by the presence by Guy & Dori, passionate hummus enthusiasts and chefs.
My favorite is the ‘magic egg’ dish, my husband’s is the hummus with meat, both are served with piping hot fresh pita bread (locally sourced in de pijp). The whole experience is one to keep you coming back again and again.
Sir Hummus has now also replaced our weekly shop of supermarket houmous, as its at just about the same price, but far better quality and taste — can’t be beat!
My husband and I sought out this place when they had a pop up in the city centre — it was phenomenal — we were so happy to find out they were opening a permanent location just down the street from us.
Bottom line: the place is cozy, the staff are super open and welcoming… just let the Hummus speak for itself!
