Hummus again? Yes, because this small gem near Schlesi is special: their focus is on family quality, home-style Lebanese cuisine – it’s run by two Levantine brothers and their mother after all. The size of The Hummusapiens might seem more imbiss than restaurant, but it certainly feels unique. The atmosphere is inviting: lots of wood, cream brick, warm light, and a passionate team. In addition to the classic hummus and the good old falafel plate, you can expect deliciously crunchy salads such as couscous, fattoush or tabbouleh, freshly squeezed orange-carrot juice and (highlight!) the Hummusapiens plate. With a little bit of everything, it’s perfect for those who can never decide. You can get the dish served traditionally with meat, vegetarian or vegan – they’ll all leave you happily satisfied. Go anytime: for a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends or on a Sunday night – still in your pajamas – to order some food to go. Also: don’t miss their homemade Harhana, a spicy chili paste to go with it all. (Text: Lisa Strube / Photos: Mina Aichhorn)
