Oren's Hummus

Located on bustling North Santa Cruz Avenue in the historic downtown of Los Gatos, Oren’s Hummus brings authentic Israeli flavors to the heart of Silicon Valley. Founded by Oren, the shop started on University Avenue in Palo Alto and has grown into a beloved Bay Area chain known for its fresh, creamy hummus, golden‑fried falafel, smoky shawarma, and crisp Israeli salad. Inside, the bright interior features white walls, reclaimed wood tables, and subtle Mediterranean accents, creating a relaxed yet lively atmosphere perfect for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a casual happy‑hour gathering. The menu highlights the signature Oren’s Classic Hummus topped with olive oil and za’atar, the Spicy Falafel Wrap, and the Lamb Shawarma Plate served with tahini, pickles, and fluffy pita. Vegetarian and vegan guests can enjoy the roasted‑eggplant baba ganoush or the quinoa tabbouleh. Happy hour runs Monday through Thursday from 3 pm to 5 pm, offering half‑price drinks and select appetizers. Prices sit in the moderate $$ range, making it an excellent value for quality Mediterranean fare. The restaurant is steps from the Los Gatos Creek Trail and a short walk to the historic downtown plaza, so visitors can combine a meal with a stroll through boutique shops and art galleries. Oren’s Hummus also provides catering for corporate events, weddings, and private parties, with customizable platters and delivery options. Reservations can be made online or by phone, and take‑out and delivery are available through the Oren’s app. Whether you’re a local looking for a healthy bite or a tourist craving authentic Israeli cuisine, Oren’s Hummus offers a welcoming spot to experience the flavors of the Middle East in Los Gatos.
