As regular readers will
know, Soho is my general stomping ground, whether work related or otherwise.
The area is undoubtedly my favourite part of London, and some of my preferred
eateries, not to mention watering holes, exist in this area.
Wardour Street is host to
numerous delights and for a delicious and filling lunch I can thoroughly
recommend Hummos Bros.
Open since 2005, it pretty
much does what it says on the tin and makes bloody good hummus, with a
seriously impressive selection of toppings.
My absolute favourite is to
have the ‘chunky beef with tzatziki’. This is casseroled, large pieces of beef
cooked in a rich stew-like sauce and each time I’ve had this I’ve been in
heaven. The meat has been mouth-wateringly tender and falls apart. The beef
sits on a bed of the delicious hummus, here it is rather smooth, although not
as smooth as commercially produced packet hummus. It has that wonderful garlic
hum, without being over powering. Two pitta bread pockets come alongside in a
regular dish and all priced at £7.65 – a bargain.
I can never stick to one
dish, especially when they are as flavourful and moreish as they are here, so I
generally grab either the tabbouleh salad, or if I’m hungover and in need of
stodge, the falafel salad – both of which are flavoured with my favourite herb,
coriander which just makes everything taste incredibly fresh and, at least to
me, delicious.
Although I am often a
creature of habit, ordering the same dish when I return to restaurants, I feel
almost smug in the fact I can also suggest the chicken, guacamole and mushroom
version of the hummus topper, as I have also eaten and enjoyed all of these.
The concept here is simple
and it works. To me, this just proves that a simple menu can work well if you
perfect the dishes on there and don’t deviate too much or try to over
complicate.
If you’re a lover of hummus,
don’t delay, head to Hummus Bros.
