Best vegan food in Budapest - Edit
My husband eats meat like a big cat and I’m a vegan! It’s hard to dine together. Humans bar makes if possible, with his bird corpse on a plate plus fabulous freshly cooked healthy food.
Super delicious though note that the pittas are not vegan!
Pros: friendly staff, upbeat vibe, loads of choice

Hummus - Edit
Hummus was good, we got mixed plate with mushrooms and some whole chickpeas. Mushrooms was good but chispkeas has no taste. We got better hummus in Mazel tov (if you are hummus expert, try that one) but this was still okey, good portions.
Pros: not so many vegan options

LOVE!!! - Edit
This place has amazing falafel and hummus, crispy fries and many other wonderful vegan options. A great place for vegans and non-vegans to share a meal. Huge portions so it's very filling, but great prices. Locations all around the city, so don't miss!

Not that many vegan options. Mediocre hummus. - Edit
I have visited different Hummus Bar venues over the years in Budapest. I think the quality has dropped. Their hummus is quite tasteless for me.
Last time I went I asked whether the falafel and the pita bread is vegan or not. The staff said that the falafel contains eggs and the pita contains milk. Without these there are a few dishes a vegan can choose from.
Pros: It is quite cheap, They have several restaurants in the city
Cons: Hummus is mediocre, Falafel and pita bread is NOT vegan

Probably the best falafel I've ever had - Edit
The falafel here was amazing, probably the best I've ever eaten. The rest of the food was also great, staff were friendly, and prices seemed on par with the rest of the city. Had a great lunch here.

Nice Lunch Spot! - Edit
Perfect place to go for a filling, inexpensive, tasty lunch. Staff were not the most efficient but the atmosphere outdoors was nice so we didn't notice that much. I've tasted a lot of falafel and this was one of the best!
Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Filling
Cons: Slow service

amazing falafels! - Edit
This place was reasonably cheap for what you get and the falafels were absolutely amazing! Myself and my boyfriend were a little bit disappointed with the hummus but the rest of the food was delicious!

in top 3 falafels I've ever had - Edit
I used go to hummus bars (it's a chain located in various parts of the city) a lot back when I lived in Budapest and the reason is the consequent high quality of the food. Their falafels are super crunchy and tasty, and the hummus is smooth and tasty - I can't say a bad word about it. The salad has a bit of a 'pickled' feeling, which might not fit everyone's taste, but I can only see as an advantage. Moreover, they serve free homemade lemonade during the summer and turkish tea during the winter, which is a very nice thing.
Hummus bar in Oktober 6 street is the best of all the restaurants in the chain, and as far as I know the only one that bakes their own durum/pita (as of late 2015) - the only thing I would mark as an area for improvement in other restaurants of the chain. The home-baked goods are delicious and go perfect with what I would describe as one of the best falafels I've ever had. I absolutely recommend!!!
EDIT
I went there again after 1,5 years and I must say that the quality dropped what some friends living in Budapest have confirmed :-( The hummus was not the same!

Tasteless hummus - Edit
Unfortunately my hummus salad was bland. The hummus lacked all of the ingredients needed to make hummus delicious. It was basically chick peas and tahini, it didn't have lemon juice, olive oil, salt etc.

sehr lecker - Edit
Der Hummus ist großartig, lange nicht so feinen Hummus gegessen (sehr wenig Knoblauch, sehr cremig). auch die Falaffel sind toll. War gleich zweimal da. Auch die hauseigene Limo war super
Pros: viele vegane Optionen

Good! - Edit
I had the hummus and fried eggplant on pita, it was very good. I did request no eggs, and it came with sliced egg, so I sent it back. They were very apologetic. I look forward to going back and trying other things, like the Turkish salad.
It has a fast food feeling, so good for lunch or quick dinner.

Tasty food, great value - Edit
Had the mixed falafel hummus plate which included mushrooms and chickpeas, this came with the homemade pitta bread and some chilli dips for the table. Great selection of vegan options and also some meat to keep the omnis happy. Very good price for a filling meal.
Pros: Awesome vegan options, Open late, Cheap
Cons: We found the staff to be surly and unfriendly

Loved it! - Edit
I went to this hummus bar in december, while on a short stay in Budapest. I have to tell you that I was amazed!
I was greeted with hot tea and after that I ordered the normal hummus and falafel plate. The falafel were crunchy and the hummus was smooth as hell! Really one of the best hummuses I've ever eaten. The prices were great for such excellent food. I'll definitely be returning when I'm in Budapest the next time.
The only thing is... I don't really like the fact that they also sell a lot of meaty foods. It would be excellent if the hummus bar were completely vegan. What a dream!
Pros: Amazing hummus, tasty falafel, great price
Cons: Not vegan (serves also meat)

Excellent hummus and falafel - Edit
This branch of Hummus Bar serves meat, but it's conveniently located and has delicious vegan options. The hummus was great, the falafel was good and crunchy and the bread was huge and delicious. I'd go back again if I could!

Leckeres Essen, tolle Lage - Edit
Die Hummus Bar befindet sich sehr zentral zwischen der St-Stephans-Basilika und dem Parlament, daher eignet sie sich gut für einen Zwischenstopp bei einer Stadtbesichtigung.
Das Essen war sehr gut, die Falafel knusprig, der Hummus cremig und das Gemüse frisch. Angeboten werden auch selbstgemachte Pommes.
Für etwa 5 € wird man satt.
Pros: Lage, Leckeres Essen
Cons: Mittags recht voll

falafel heaven - Edit
super relaxed place with fantastic staff. everybody speaks English, the dishes are cheap and the portion sizes are big. you get a shot of home-made lemonade when you arrive. we loved it. I had the falafel main with two sides and a falafel wrap on another occasion - both great. falafels are a bit over fried at times but still good - the hummus makes up for it ;)
Pros: cheap & plentiful, friendly staff, fast arrival food
Cons: it is fast, deep fried food

Just delicious - Edit
Went here after having visited the synagogue of Budapest, just few meters from Hummus Bar.
I was welcomed by a very nice waiter and felt immediately comfortable in there. The guest area is divided in 2 levels and nicely decorated, with cool quotes written on the wall.
I sat down, another nice waitress came, brought me the menue and a free mint tea. I ordered a home-made lemonade and the Falafel main dish. This includes Falafel, 2 fresh and warm Pita bread and then one can chose 2 side dishes from Hummus, salad, rice or...some other option. I took Hummus and salad. I was in Falafel-Hummus-heaven and superfull afterwards. Nonetheless I ordered a Baklava as dessert - also very nice and came with coconut flakes on top (never had it like this before, but was really tasty).
I can only recommend going there :)

Set the Chickpea Free - Edit
Great portions of tasty falafels and fresh salad fillings in our falafel sandwiches. A really busy popular place with informal seating and complementary mint tea on arrival. Fab value.
Get yourself here!

Great hummus!! - Edit
As one would expect, this place had fantastic hummus! We came here for dinner and ordered fava bean hummus, couscous soup, and a carrot salad to share for dinner. The meal was great and not very expensive at all! (That plus 2 beers was about $13 USD!) The staff was very friendly and gave us a small glass of their homemade lemonade upon arrival at the restaurant. Had outdoor seating and was a very easy walk from our hostel near St. Stephens. Would definitely go back!

Good food, big portions, little price - Edit
Only tried the hummus, which was very good, so were the falafel balls in it. The staff is friendly and the price is more than reasonable for the quality and size of the portions.
Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Big portions
