Oh hummus, we have done you so wrong. The staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, made with humble chickpeas, olive oil and tahini, never deserved to be made into \u201cbrownie batter\u201d flavor. But the many, many ways hummus has entered into our everyday lives also has brought us closer to other flavors of countries like Greece, Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Israel, Iraq, Iran and many others.<\/p>\n

Once all but impossible to find in Sonoma County \u2014 or really even outside large cities or pockets of immigrant communities \u2014 spices like saffron, sumac, cinnamon, cumin and turmeric are becoming more common in local fare. Tzatziki sits next to onion dip at Trader Joe\u2019s. Pitas are just as popular filled with peanut butter and jelly as they are with falafel.<\/p>\n

With the appearance of several Middle Eastern restaurant newcomers on the local dining scene, it seemed time to honor some of our favorite haunts for hummus and the many other dishes of this vast culinary landscape. And while lumping together the rich cuisines of each region and country under a single banner is as silly as saying American food consists only of hamburgers, hot dogs and apple pie, it all has to start with a common thread that\u2019s universally understood.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019ll plant a flag with hummus and go from there, because everyone loves a good hummus. In addition to some best bets, each restaurant will get a hummus score from 1 (not great) to 5 (awesome). And we promise, no brownie batter hummus will be included.<\/p>\n

Success stories<\/h4>\n

Kalimera Bar & Grill:<\/strong>\u00a0Earlier this year, Grill Santa Rosa was notified to leave Santa Rosa Plaza<\/a> where it had been serving well-crafted Mediterranean fare since 2021. But with family and community support, chef and owner Ilyas Kara revived his restaurant<\/a> at the Brickyard Center with the same menu and new name: Kalimera Bar & Grill. Go for the cold mezze plate, a sampling of hummus, baba ganoush (roasted eggplant dip), tabbouleh, tzatziki, dolmas, grilled pita and crisp falafel. It\u2019s plenty big for sharing. Hummus: 4. 458 B St., Santa Rosa, 707-308-4928, kalimerabarandgrill.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Spread Kitchen:<\/strong> Opened in 2022<\/a> in the former Sonoma Eats location in Boyes Hot Springs, this Lebanese-inspired restaurant from chef-owner Cristina Topham has garnered a devoted following. The San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> recently called Spread “one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in the Bay Area.” There are plenty of vegan and gluten-free options in addition to traditional staples like lamb kofta and turmeric chicken in a lavash wrap. Go for an array of mezzes, such as the quinoa tabbouleh, falafel with green tahini sauce and za’atar fries with toum, an irresistible creamy whipped garlic sauce. Hummus: 5. 18375 Highway 12, Sonoma, 707-721-1256, spreadkitchensonoma.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Falafel Hut:<\/strong> This longtime San Rafael favorite opened in downtown Santa Rosa (in the former Gerard\u2019s Paella location) in 2021. The falafel is off-the-charts tasty, and we loved the kibbie (ground lamb and bulgur wheat with a gentle cinnamon spice). The chicken shawarma was only pretty good with minimal seasoning when the restaurant first started off, but now it’s excellent and bursting with flavor. Hummus: 4. 701 Fourth St., Santa Rosa, 707-237-7010, falafelhut2.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Gold standards<\/h4>\n

King Falafel:<\/strong> This hidden gem is probably the best falafel spot in Sonoma County. It\u2019s exactly the kind of no-frills eatery that focuses on what it does best \u2014 falafel. Go for the King falafel where you can choose toppings including pickles, eggplant, tahini, red shatta, tzatziki or tabbouleh. Hummus: 4. 100 Brown St., Suite 150, Sebastopol, 707-824-4800<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s Mediterranean:<\/strong> You won\u2019t stumble on this out-of-the-way deli unless you spend a lot of time cruising quiet office parks looking for hole-in-the-wall lunch spots. Thankfully, I do, and this charming little place is a Middle Eastern treasure. Their panini-style chicken shawarma wraps are a delicious entry point, with gently spiced meat and melted cheese. It comes with garlic and hot sauces and a Greek salad. Hummus: 4. 613 Martin Ave., Suite 111, Rohnert Park, 707-584-0220, samsmeddeli.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Real Doner:<\/strong> Here\u2019s another stunner that has stood the test of time. We\u2019re especially fond of the doner wraps \u2014 long rolls of lavash bread with sliced meat or kebab snuggled inside. We also love the Pink Sultan, a roasted beet and yogurt dip. Hummus: 5. 307 F St., Petaluma, 707-765-9555, realdoner.net<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

More than Middle Eastern<\/h4>\n

Fourth Street Market and Deli:<\/strong> This local sandwich shop makes a mean tabbouleh, and it\u2019s the only spot I\u2019ve found for mujadara, an addictive lentil and caramelized onion dish. Hummus: 4. 300 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa, 707-573-9832, fourthstreetdeli.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

East West Cafe:<\/strong> I\u2019ve often given this local charmer short shrift after a couple of long-ago disappointments. Since then, however, I\u2019ve been really impressed with the chicken shawarma and vegetarian mezze plate. Hummus: 4. 557 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa, 707-546-6142, eastwestcafesantarosa.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Elevated<\/h4>\n

Stockhome:<\/strong> The Swedish cuisine here also includes influences of Turkish street food that\u2019s common in Sweden, but part of the menu sets aside meatballs and lingonberries for kebabs, pita-wrapped falafel, fattoush salad and saffron rice. The eggplant dip is out of this world, and the grilled halloumi pita is equally amazing. Hummus: 5. 220 Western Ave., Petaluma, 707-981-8511, stockhomepetaluma.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Pearl:<\/strong> This chef-run restaurant takes inspiration from the flavors of the Middle East and turns them into memorable meals. Dishes change up, but the picnic plate with tabbouleh, hummus, labneh and fresh pita is required. We also love the Persian meatball tagine with herbed yogurt, lamb burger and shakshuka, a brunchy dish with spiced tomato stew and eggs. Moroccan rice pudding is a perfect, perfumed ending. Hummus: 5. 500 First St., Petaluma, 707-559-5187, pearlpetaluma.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Grossman\u2019s:<\/strong> This Jewish-style deli<\/a> focuses on a wide variety of dishes, from latkes to zhug. We love the nuanced falafel that don\u2019t hit your stomach like a bomb, baby artichokes with labneh and sumac, quinoa tabbouleh and, yes, I\u2019m going to say it again because I eat it so much, the Sabich platter with fried eggplant, falafel, tahina and amba, a sauce made with pickled mangoes.
