Oren's Hummus Shop

Sunday afternoon stopped in. The GM from the Palo Alto location was there and assured of protocols to avoid cross contamination. Had the gf pita, hummus bowl with grilled chicken, bread pudding. Was delicious and safe! Recommended. Perhaps make sure to talk with a manager, considering previous reviews.

Sadly, I got glutened here!!! The person at the front didn’t know what Celiac was (should have been my first clue). She did tell the person in the kitchen to treat it like a gluten allergy, but I’m not sure how well informed they are. I ate the chicken with rice and sweet potato fries, all labeled gluten free

FANTASTIC gluten free experience. 95% of the menu is gluten free/gf option. They have really good, thick GF pita which was a special find. They put my gf pita in a separate basket from the regular pita that my parents got.

I ate here twice on a recent trip to Mountain View and had an excellent experience, no noticeable gluten symptoms either time. I emailed first and got a really comprehensive response about their dedicated gluten free fryer and oven, glove changing policy, etc, and my servers confirmed the precautions they take when I was there. I had them note my celiac on my ticket, and both times I ordered the gluten free pita (which was amazing) with no issues. They do have wheat pita on the menu but seem to be really cautious about preventing cross contact as much as possible. Overall, after I gave them a heads up about my restrictions, I had a really great experience and delicious food!

The Palo Alto location has never made me sick. Amazing staff!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent gluten free pita sandwiches

GF pita and hummus with meat was absolutely delicious and Celtic safe. My husband tried another dish which also was great. The major bummer was the wait for them to cook the Gf pita so make sure to order enough when you initially place your order!

I have never been sick here and love that they cook the packaged gluten-free pita separately. I just wish the food was not so oily.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely delicious menu and the gluten free pitas truly are. I am very sensitive and have never been ill from any pita sandwiches or sides.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really good food and my very sensitive daughter who has celiac didn't get sick. Two different staff members told us the fryers are dedicated to each item that is fried in the oil. When walking by the kitchen it looked like there were at least 3 different fryers. My daughter had the 3 sides meal with falafels (which she loved), hummus and 2 GF pitas which were really good and the pickles and olives side which none of us liked. My husband and I had chicken pita sandwiches and they were really good. We will definitely be going back. My suggestion is to order the tahini sauce on the side if ordering falafels...especially if ordering for kids.

Great gf options- had hummus w veggies, chicken skewer, falafel, fries, apple pastry desert and chocolate mousse. Will be back.

At least 75% of the items on the menu are gluten free!!! They give you veggies to dip and have amazing gluten free food! They even have gluten free dessert. You can't go wrong here. I was surprised this restaurant was not on this app already. Try it out and you'll want to go back again.

Best humus, staff and location on the planet! The team knows what’s GF and not and have a dedicated fryer. Order the garlic fries! Order the beets! And for sure order the humus 😊😋

TY to those who have shared their experience here! We had just enough time for dinner before catching a flight out of town and tried this based on location near SFMOMA and the reviews. Most items are gf and gf pita that tastes yummy is so appreciated! Had the beef kebab bowl, chicken bowl, and falafel on gf pita and all were delicious. The server was super friendly and noted down our allergies. Great experience!

The food was tasty and they seemed to be really good about gluten free food, but I am almost certain I did get glutened. Maybe they gave me a real pita instead of GF pita, I’m not totally sure — it didn’t *taste* like real bread… nevertheless the timing seems to point to getting glutened when I got food from here.

Separate fryer for GF fried items! Got the Cauliflower and was good. The GF Pita was very good and large portions with the Hummus Bowls, sauces on the table were GF too. Staff were very knowledgeable and happy to help and ensure that kitchen was aware.
