Hummus

Hummus in Singapore: Creamy, Halal, Made Fresh Daily

Hummus is a blended dip of chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, whipped smooth and finished with a drizzle of oil. At Anatolia it comes with warm pita for dipping, priced at S$16.90, and it's 100% halal. Collect it on Arab Street or get it delivered across Singapore, usually within the hour.

Most hummus you'll find in Singapore is either gritty or so heavy on tahini it tastes like paste. Ours is neither. We blend the chickpeas long enough to smooth out the texture, then balance the tahini against lemon and garlic so no single ingredient takes over. That balance is the difference between a good dip and one you keep going back for.

What Makes Our Hummus Worth Ordering

• Blended smooth, not chunky, so it spreads and dips clean without breaking apart.
• Tahini, lemon, and garlic are balanced, not stacked on top of each other.
• Served with warm pita, ready to scoop straight from the bowl.
• 100% halal, same standard as everything on our menu.
• Pickup is usually ready within the hour, and delivery mostly lands within the hour too.

Taste and Texture

Good hummus should be light on the tongue, not thick like peanut butter. Ours sits somewhere between silky and creamy, with a nutty base from the tahini and a citrus lift from the lemon. The garlic comes through without overpowering it, and the olive oil on top adds a bit of richness with the first scoop. Nothing about it feels heavy.

What's In It

• Chickpeas, blended smooth
• Tahini
• Fresh garlic
• Lemon juice
• Olive oil, finished on top
• Warm pita bread on the side

How We Make It

Chickpeas are cooked down and blended with tahini, garlic, and lemon juice until the texture turns silky, not grainy. We don't over-thin it with water the way some kitchens do to stretch the batch further. It's made fresh, not scooped from a tub that's been sitting, and the olive oil goes on right before it reaches your table.

How to Eat It

Tear off a piece of warm pita and scoop. That's the whole method, and it works. If you want to stretch it into a bigger spread, pair it with a fresh salad or some extra bread and zaatar on the side. It also works well next to grilled mains if you're building out a full table, something like the Chicken Shish balances well against the coolness of the dip.

Who It's For

• Anyone who wants a starter that isn't heavy before a bigger meal
• Vegetarians and vegans looking for a solid plant-based dip
• A halal appetizer for sharing near Bugis or Arab Street
• First-timers to Middle Eastern food who want an easy, familiar place to start

A Note on Nutrition

Hummus is plant-based, built from chickpeas and olive oil rather than dairy or meat. It's a reasonable way to add protein and fibre to a meal without the heaviness of a fried starter. Go easy on the pita if you're watching carbs, the dip itself carries the flavour on its own.

Make It Yours

Order it as a starter on its own, or add it alongside a side of Ezme for a mixed dip spread. One thing to flag plainly: this is made in a kitchen that handles nuts, dairy, and gluten. Tell us about any allergies before you order and we'll guide you to a safe choice.

Pickup is usually ready within the hour, delivery mostly arrives within the hour, and orders over S$100 ship free.
