A cheap, authentic place to taste the very best that hummus can get. No fancy chairs or polished tables, but it worth it. I'm there almost every week.

The place doesn't look fancy at all, and is a basic 'eatery', but the service is very friendly, and the hummus is one of the best of it's type. Hummus comes in many flavors. Abu Shaker's hummus is of the Galilee type - sweeter, with more Tahini and served slightly warm, with a side of freshly cut vegetables, and at... More

Very good humus, very cheap. Mostly crowded, service is very fast. A good and quick lunch in Haifa, worth a visit. Don't expect anything fancy :)

The place is small but very hospitable. The food is great ant always fresh. The kitchen is tinny but can deliver the goods. A very good value for your money.

I agree about the good atmosphere. I didn´t think the hummus was great. It tasted like mine when I tried a recipe that was supposed to be the best but really wasn´t. A matter of taste.

I live 10 minutes driving from there, I usually go there to eat my Humous, I take the half dish humous with Tahini, it's great.The boss Um Shaker always welcomes with a smile. Once ordered we get falafel and salds free of charge, they also add red rice, amazing! The price is pretty cheap, if you're a humous fan you... More

Came to eat humus for lunch. It was my 3 rd time. Was so disappointed. Humus was really not tasty as always. Service was horrible and so unfriendly. We've asked 4 times for the falafel and were told they are not ready and saw other people getting them. Surprisingly or not - doctors from the nearest hospital got great service... More

Abu Shaker is the best hummus in Haifa and the area. Take either Hummus or Meshawashe and get side-dishes for free at your table. Very small place and very busy - this is the authentic eatery and the quality is always good. Saturdays and Fridays are packed.
