Blissful Hummusiya...



Dizengoff
1625 Sansom Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103

I mean can Mike Solo and crew do any wrong? So far, it doesnt seem like it. I havent been to Israel to know what a true Hummisiya is like, but if its anything like this, count me in 100 times over. Ive only been able to make it in a few times because its tough to get in and I work outside of the city during the hours they are open, but it is outstanding. The variety of hummus that they offer everyday is fantastic. Its hands down the best hummus I have ever had. If you have been to Zahav before, you know what I am talking about. If you dont like jarred hummus, dont fear, this will change your perspective on what hummus should be and what it can be. 



The first day we went in, it was very full, just as it always is. Actually we wound up ordering our hummus to go and taking it to Rittenhouse Square to sit in the park. My fiance and her parents and I grabbed three different types of hummus and some lemonnanas a delicious concoction of frozen lemonade and mint.




The texture of the hummus is just sublime. The flavor is on a whole other level. The wide range of toppings that they add to the hummus just take it over the top. The ingredients are always fresh, and that pita, dear lord its incredible. We had the beef hummus, eggplant, and roasted pepper on this particular day, and it was hard to pick which one was my favorite. It was also hard to prevent myself from licking the containers when the hummus was gone.



Four and a half pints for Dizengoff. I hope the people of Philadelphia realize just how special this place is. There is no other place like it in this country that I have ever seen, and it so perfectly executed. Everyt little detail is on point, as it always is with a Cook and Solo restaurant. Every time I have the hummus, whether directly from Zahav or at Dizengoff, I find myself eating and thinking to myself, is there something better? Its so deeply satisfying to eat, and I could not be happier that Philly has a place like this to enjoy now! Check it out, you will not be disappointed! Cheers!
