This place was as Guy Fieri would say… This place is MONEY! I stopped here after a meeting in Utica. The freshly made chivapi was recommended. It was so amazing!!! The waitress/hostess/cashier cooked it up right behind the register! The warm bread was soaked in oil and spices. The cigar rolls were lightly fried and delicious. Overall, this was the best Mediterranean food i’ve had and i’ll definitely be back!!!

Four girlfriends having lunch, our first but not last visit here. Atmosphere, food, and service all exceptional. Nice variety on the menu, if you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor and stop in, you won’t be disappointed.

I have been here a few times for lunch and just had dinner there for the first time. Every meal has been outstanding and the service has always been great! Love the hummus sampler. My only complaint is that Café Hummus isn’t closer to my house!

Wow! My friends turned me onto this little place that I would’ve never thought to go to. A clean small restaurant with friendly service. Wine list is extraordinary-we had the cigar appetizers in the Greek yogurt cucumber appetizer. Fantastic. We also had several meat dishes but my favorite was the shrimp Mediterranean which was teaming with shrimp bright flavors and wonderful grilled veggies. The bAsmati Rice was perfect I will definitely come again

Absolutely amazing. I’m a huge fan of restaurants with fresh, clean food and good wine. Normally, I can find one or the other. This place has both. Each time I visit, I try a new hummus, and can honestly NOT pick a favorite. The avocado, the spicy, the eggplant, the roasted red pepper… each one is better than the next. I absolutely love the choban salad with chicken. Best part is having it for lunch and not needing a nap when I get back to the office. Light and tasty. So glad I found this gem.

Stopped here to pick up lunch to go after a meeting. Staff was flustered and couldn’t wait on me, so I grabbed a menu to browse while I waited. When they finally had a moment, the server told me they were out of hummus! The irony. I ordered stuffed grape leaves and a lamb pita. Both were under seasoned and the rice in the grape leaves was chewy.

Fantastic place. The food was excellent – lamb was incredibly fresh and tasty, not brown and tasteless like other restaurants. Detail and attention went into everything, from the appetizers to the Turkish coffee. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Baklava was the best I’ve had. I would expect a meal like this in NYC, and was so pleasantly surprised. The owner came out and explained how they did the shish kebab, you could tell how passionate he was about food. Prices were reasonable too. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Yet to have a bad meal. The Turkish owner is incredible. Personable, friendly, kind and passionate about what he serves and the community. Everything freshly made with fresh ingredients. The flavors are unique and delicious. Plus you won’t ruin your diet with the light healthy cuisine. Do not pass this restaurant by.

Excellent! We enjoyed a delicious lunch. Hummus, tabouli, choban chicken and grilled shrimp salads. All around a plus.
