Always busy, this bustling place on University Ave in downtown Palo Alto never fails. Either eat in or take out (use the Order Ahead app for quick and easy service). While different from the classic falafels served at the Falafel Drive In in Santa Clara, these are equally tasty. Lots of different options including whole wheat pita or no bread.... More

Just go there & enjoy the best hummus ever!! Not too creamy but not watery. The service wasn't perfect but if that is what you are looking for then don't go there. This is not that type of a restaurant. This restaurant is all about the FOOD! Excellent food!! So JUST GO THERE!!!

We were a group of nine friends from out of town having dinner and we all have similar opinion: one of the best middle eastern restaurants. The atmosphere is alive, the service is great, and the food delicious. Everybody in the kitchen are Mexicans, but they know how to cook. Highly recommended if you are close by.

Good Israeli food. Nice portions of food that is fresh and well prepared alway crowded but worth the wait

I went specifically because of the reviews on TA. I love Israeli/Middle Eastern food, and the "hummus test" is the first measure of the quality of a restaurant. While the hummus is quite good, Oren's is too expensive to justify a trip across town. For example, the hummus classic is $7.95, and comes with a bit of pita (mine was... More

Went there for team lunch, had never tried mediterranean food before. The service is great and staff is very professional. Hummus were good and are a pleasant change from the routine food we eat. I also liked their small green balls called falafal, taste like indian pakoras. Overall, recommended place.
