What makes your hummus special?
We use dried chickpeas — not canned — that are soaked and cooked on-site every day. Together with carefully selected tahini and spices, this creates a creamy, authentic hummus made from scratch in the Israeli tradition.

Ilan Shofer opened Hummus Bar on Bangatan 8 in Lund on May 12, 2014 — Sweden's first restaurant entirely dedicated to hummus. Ilan also introduced pita bread (1984) and opened Sweden's first falafel bar (1985). Over 30 years of Mediterranean cuisine experience in Sweden.
