Separate vegan menu! - Edit
First time here as I’m briefly visiting Manila on business. Conveniently located right across my hotel (and close to many others), would go back for late night snack.
Service: Friendly and as far as I can tell, all staff know what “vegan” entails. Enough basic English for simple questions, but when I asked what the ingredients were in one of their jars, they couldn’t answer. (Right next to the counter there is a shelved wall where they sell spices, tahini, dates, etc..)
Food: Decent falafel and hummus, very soft pita breads (we took a pack home to nibble on back at the hotel), tofu shakshuka was nice (if you enjoy shakshuka), and the fresh home made fries were very good as well (think British fish n chip style, chunky cut).
Atmosphere/surroundings: Very basic interior, a few tables and chairs in a plain room, a few outdoor seating options mainly used by smokers!
Hygiene: Tables were clean, and seemed to be wiped down after each customer. Have not yet visited the restrooms.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Late night opening hours , Staff know what vegan means
Cons: Very basic interior

Best falafel I’ve ever had, good portion, and the best of all you get to take as much sauce as you want

Sugoi! - Edit
For my set of Elijah Combo. The ambience, the quality and quantity of ingredients, preparation, and presentation. Plus the hospitality of the staff, they all worth it.

Lots of vegan options - Edit
Me and my boyfriend went here for dinner on our first night in Manila since it was about a one minute walk from our hotel and because, well, we like hummus! It's a small place with friendly service. Ask for their vegan menu! We shared three dishes; hummus, falafel and shashuka (tofu in tomato sauce). Everything was delicious (although we prefer hummus to be a bit thicker) and I would recommend all of those dishes. The hummus and shashuka comes with pita bread, you can also get different combos.

Simple place with good food - Edit
The food is good, the staff friendly alas not vegan (the owner isn't there), and the opening hours unbeatable; when your other veg places in Manila are closed (like during Christmas), Hummus Elijah holds steady!
People seem to love its hummus, but I find their falafels more perfected.
Prices for a meal range from €3 to €8; consider having two if you're very hungry.
A side note: SOMETIMES, their speakers play reggae during the day, which is appreciated!

Excellent ! - Edit
I've been there with some friends, we took various meals.
As I'm often in the Mid East, I can be picky regarding this kind of food, especially hummus and it was excellent.
Some of the dishes on the menu can be veganised such as the shakshuka in which eggs are being replaced by tofu.
Very friendly space and we received a free dessert.
Recommended !
Pros: Tasty and authentic food., Not oly Middle Eastern (offers samosa, etc.), Good price.

Tasty hummus - Edit
The hummus was pretty good and the sandwich was ok but needed more fillings. They sell the pickles and salad separately which I'm used to getting as part of the meal. They need to do more meal combos otherwise it works out expensive. Seating is very basic (fast food) and the service was quite slow. But if you are craving good hummus in Manila it's worth the snack stop.
Pros: hummus
Cons: A lot of the ingredients is sold individually arou
