While the Palo Alto and Mountain View locations are pleasant looking, they pale in comparison to the Cupertino one. I had a chance to check out the new Cupertino restaurant, when I was invited for “friends and family” night prior to its opening. Many of the ingredients are imported from Israel, too. So he and his wife Nancy decided to make their own - by opening a restaurant.įollowing the original eatery’s success, they joined forces with another South Bay couple, Mistie Cohen, who owns the EyeSpy Critiquing & Consulting company in San Jose that trains incognito diners to evaluate restaurants, and her husband David, a chef. The burgeoning mini-empire of hummus eateries is the brainchild of Oren Dobronsky, a tech start-up specialist, who missed the hummus he used to enjoy in his native Tel Aviv. Even better, more locations are planned in the Bay Area in the near future. And just a few weeks ago, it opened a third Oren’s in the new Main Street Cupertino complex. Then, Oren’s expanded with a second, larger location in downtown Mountain View, which made life so much easier. For the longest time, I had to be content with just grabbing a tub of hummus from the to-go refrigerator case because getting a seat inside was just not going to happen. A narrow little space, it had a line out the door no matter what the hour. The only problem came when Oren’s had only one location in downtown Palo Alto. It is hands down the smoothest, creamiest, most luscious tasting hummus you’ll ever experience. Really? Who gets this excited about hummus of all things? But Oren’s hummus has spoiled me for all other hummus now. People who have never experienced Oren’s look at me funny when I rhapsodize dreamily about this chickpea spread. That’s how I felt the first time I tasted the hummus at Oren’s. The jubilation you experience when you discover the singular personification of perfection? Hummus with lamb at the new Oren’s in Cupertino.
