We discovered a new hotspot in The Hague, where you can eat delicious Middle Eastern food; The Hummus Company in The Hague. We visited the Hummus Company at the end of April 2021 and at that time, the Hummus Company had just started twenty days ago.
We had a great talk with the owner of the Hummus Company, named Taleb.
In my VLOG video above you can watch his whole story.
In my blog I wrote down everything Taleb said, so you can have a nice idea of what the Hummus Company is about.
This is the story of Taleb, owner of the Hummus Company:
We started just twenty days ago and thanks to you guys it has been very busy. We have pretty much been working since the day that we opened. People appreciate healthy, fresh food.
We make everything in-house. We make everything fresh, so it has been a really nice, positive time I must say, especially during these days.
Thank you for the city of The Hague.Basically what we do is mainly vegetarian food, also vegan and for chicken lovers we make chicken.
It’s basically a Middle Eastern cuisine. We have bowls in various specialties, like bowls with falafel, bowls with chicken, bowls with cauliflower, bowls with eggplant and bowls with haloumi cheese.
We also have side wraps. A side wrap is a Libanese bread basically. We make the bread ourselves here and we use it for our wraps.
We have the Baba Ghanoush Wrap, the Haloumi Cheese Wrap and the Hummus Wrap. The Hummus Chicken Wrap is also a very nice specialty, it’s been going very well.
Like you see here, we also make our own Fatayer, that’s how we call them. We have Fatayer with cheese, Fatayer with zataar cheese and Fatayer with sucuk.
We also make the Hummus ourselves. According to the feedback of our customers, this is the most craziest Hummus they have ever tried. As you can see, we make the Hummus fresh every day and it’s really tasty.
This is the Baba Ghanoush.All the ingredients that we use for our bowls or for our wraps, we do them all ourselves. We make sure that our sauces ar sugar free, oil free and egg free. The sauces are very healthy. We use healthy ingredients, trying to keep it as less fat as possible. When we use fat, we use protein and healthy fat.
I come from this kitchen and since I am here in The Hague, I realised this; not bringing the kitchen as it is, just making it more fresh, more healthy and also more simple. People appreciate it.
I was born and raised in Germany, originally I am a Syrian. Now I live in The Hague since three years.
As I said, I want to keep doing healthy, fresh food for you guys and if you’re hungry today, I hope you are, then I would like to prepare for you some nice bowls. The Orient Bowl I would recommend. It comes with really nice and fresh ingredients. It has eggplant, cauliflower, Taboule Salad, Arabic rice and it also has some nice vegetables on the side and some really nice cream sauces. Let’s do it!
This is the Taboule Salad, we just made it fresh for you guys.
The cauliflower, we fry them, then we roast them and then we mix it with the Pomegranate syrup.We actually have two concepts here;
1. Roasting coffee beans
2. Roasting nutsWe do that ourselves in Amersfoort, we have two roasting machines .
Those nuts, we roast them. We buy them raw and then roast them.
Those coffee beans, we get them from Equador. We work with Farmer Associations together. They get us the big beans from really high level parts there, so our coffee is really exclusive.We try to keep those two concepts separated and we hope to expand the Hummus Company and make a restaurant of it. Especially after Corona times, we are hoping for the best.
Actually what we do with our bowls is, we ask all our customers if they would like to have some nuts on top of the bowls. So this is what we offer for the bowls; the nuts that comes really nice with it, are the honey almond, the roasted cashews or the walnut. They are really good with the bowls and they are also healthy and it gives you a good fresh protein shot.
So for your bowls also, you can decide which kind of nuts you like to add on it. We recommend the honey almond nuts with the Haloumi Bowl and for the Falafel Bowl we recommend the roasted cashews or the walnut. (We take them all, because we love nuts).
Now we are making the Falafel and the Baba Ghanoush Wrap.
The Baba Ghanoush Wrap comes with fresh eggplant.
We keep it as simple as possible and we use very tasty ingredients. It’s not like the normal idea that you know, there’s a lot of taste involved in this one, so you get to see that also.This is the Zaater Cheese. It is basically from Hummus blend, it’s rich on vitamins and it’s vegan and healthy. It’s really good for the body.
Grab the bag of coffee beans, if you have a machine that grinds them. I can grind it for you also. Do you have filter coffee? Then I will give you Arabic Coffee for filter coffee, because Arabic coffee is with cardamon. It’s very tasty and a really strong coffee. If you like, you can get to try it out.
This is it. This is also our own coffee. It’s a very popular one. This is actually also in almost all the supermarkets in The Hague and it’s been one of the best selling Arabic coffee here in The Hague. We’ve been really grinding a lot.
The food is ready.
Thank you very much for stopping by. I really appreciate it. This is your store guys and you’re most welcome anytime.

Thank you guys, we’re very happy that you came, we’re very happy that we saw you and we hope we’re friends now. This is your shop.

Taleb and his team were so sweet and kind. We felt a warm welcome when we visited their store, they treated us as friends. Taleb is so generous and very passionate about his food.
We had two heavy bags full of deliciousness from the Hummus Company. We went for a picknick at the Hofvijver in The Hague.
We love their food and and we highly recommend to taste the food at Hummus Company.
