Hummus Restaurant in Chiang Mai - awesome brand new place in the city center

Located in the heart of the most frequently visited part of the Old City, Hummus managed to score a building behind the main street (avoiding high rents) but close enough that anyone can find it. This place is absolutely incredible and is going to become one of my "go-to" restaurants for the whole city.

I don't know how you feel about hummus, but for me it is one of my favorite things. Combine this with a central location, extremely attentive staff and management, and low prices, and we have a recipe for awesomeness.

The menu was so cheap that me and my friend ordered with reckless abandon and probably over ordered. If we saw something we wanted, we ordered it. I even ordered something I never eaten before and had never heard of.

The place had only been open for 4 days by the time we arrived and I only knew about it because of some rumblings on social media by the local expat community. We were a bit frustrated at first because it is NOT easy to find this place as they don't really have a noticeable sign on the street. I hope they are allowed to change this because we nearly abandoned our plans to go here due to the difficulty we experienced in locating it. I'm glad we didn't though because even though it is cliche and I use this term all too frequently, this place is definitely a "hidden gem."

*while I now see the entrance as mysterious and interesting, at the time it was a feeling of "there's no way there is a restaurant down here"

So if you like hummus and other "dippy bits" you really can't go wrong here. They don't sell alcohol and after the day we had this was just fine by me and my friend. We did go on to drink a bunch more afterwards but the 1.5 hour break was probably very needed.

All in all we had the hummus with flatbread, the labneh (a rich cheese something or other I had never heard of), the tomato carpaccio, the 5 piece falafel, a roasted cauliflower (which we didn't ask for but was "on the house",) a pot of Turkish coffee and some other drinks and water. The total bill for both of us combined was around $12 U.S.

That's what I call a fine deal. I will definitely return and I sincerely hope this place thrives because it is located in a part of town with notoriously bad food and worse service - and they are the precise opposite of this.

Amazing place!
