Abu Shaker Hummus
אבו שאקר
Old Arab hummus restaurant in the Lower City, considered one of Haifa's most authentic hummus spots. Affordable and open early.
Located at 29 HaMeginim Avenue in the Lower City, near Wadi Nisnas. Time Out has described it as a classic choice for authentic Arab-style hummus in Haifa since 1936. The hummus is freshly ground in a traditional machine at the table, with a high tahini ratio, a slightly sweet flavor, and it is served warm. It can be topped with minced meat. Free side dishes such as fried falafel, bulgur tomato sauce or lentil rice are also offered. The space is small and lively, with mostly outdoor long tables, and it is cash only. Two people spend about 100 shekels. It opens around 6:00 a.m., making it suitable for breakfast or lunch.
