Village Hummus - San Mateo

I absolutely love the smoothies here! They don’t contain any added sugar, which is a big plus for me since I’m not a fan of overly sweet flavors. Additionally, you can customize them by adding all sorts of ingredients! The hummus is also delicious.

My personal favorite is the lentil soup served with white rice! I absolutely adore the unique flavor of the village hummus—nothing else quite compares. The falafels are freshly made, and I really enjoy the turmeric rice and chicken shawarma plate. It’s packed with flavor and includes a variety of tasty sides!

The ground beef shawarma was quite greasy, and the rice was stale and clumpy.

The food is dry and not worth it! We ordered for a group of 8 and only one person liked their food and it was because they ordered from the kids menu. Order elsewhere and save yourself some grief.

A one-person show at noon on a weekday next to several huge shops, so long wait, basically just to eat. (Indoor food was open on site, so my comment is about packaging and presentation. My vegetable plate was good, a bit oily, and the build-your-own didn't really work. The line/backlog was too long to track. It would have worked better in normal times.
