La Hummusería, Middle Eastern restaurant in Chueca, Madrid, Spain
La Hummusería is a restaurant in Madrid's Chueca neighborhood dedicated to Middle Eastern vegetarian cooking and daily-made hummus preparations. The menu features mushroom, almond, and pine nut variations alongside fresh vegetables, tahini sauces, and traditional flatbreads from the Levantine tradition.
The restaurant opened in 2015 when founders Shai and Lotem converted a former cocktail bar into a space for Middle Eastern vegetarian food. This transformation marked the beginning of its role as a dedicated center for hummus-based dining in the city.
The menu reflects a dialogue between Middle Eastern cooking and Spanish produce, presenting familiar flavors prepared through techniques rooted in Mediterranean markets. Diners notice how chickpeas and vegetables are transformed using methods from the Levantine tradition.
The establishment serves food daily from 13:30 to 23:00 with tables available for walk-in guests without reservations required. Service runs continuously throughout these hours, making it easy to visit at almost any time during opening.
The restaurant creates a signature cocktail blending homemade lemonade with Ouzo, a Greek anise spirit that bridges Levantine and Mediterranean traditions. This drink appears on the menu as a surprising complement to the savory hummus-centered dishes.
