Hummus Elijah

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.

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!

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.

Hummus Elijah is the most authentic hummus and falafel in the city of manila. Everything is made fresh daily.

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.
