Best Hummus 2000 | ZakeE Mediterranean Eatery | Food & Drink

Best Hummus

ZakeE Mediterranean Eatery

The Middle East is famous for its soothing dips, and ZakeE serves its hummus with creamy finesse.

Owner Sal Alqardahji takes pride in this dish, and it shows in every silky bite of garbanzo beans, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and tahini (sesame seed paste), served with pita bread scoops.

ZakeE means "very delicious" in Arabic, Alqardahji tells us. We've got to agree.
