Back to the hummus


A few weeks ago I went to the most hyped Hummusaria in all of Jerusalem; Pinati’s. I first went to Pinati’s last summer with Josh Pankin, who took me to the original store on Yafo street. It is really a unique little place, with pictures of famous people eating Hummus all over the wall. Just like the many restaurants in Israel that were once small stores and are now large chains (ie Burgers Bar, Marzapan, New Deli, Holly Bagel), Pinati’s is apparently no longer a commodity. I went to the Pinatis in Talpiyot with my two friends Molly and Nathan. At Pinati’s you order a very simple hummus dish, with your choice of meat, shawarma, chikpeas, etc. on top all for only 20 sheck. They then bring you unlimited amounts of fresh warm pita! We spent a solid hour and a half, scooping hummus, talking loudly in English, and having a nice break fro our classes. Next place to discover will be the coveted Abu Gosh hummus!
