Feel like fast-casual tonight? piescarcega recommends Hasiba, a counter-service hummus and pita spot in Pico-Robertson.
Like those restaurants, Hasiba steers away from the idea of hummus as the grainy-pasty shelf-stable side dish of office potlucks, or the serviceable goop endemic to middlingplatters. Here, hummus is made fresh daily, and plated with dutiful precision on white dinnerware, like any other main course.
There are four varieties on the menu, including the top-selling wild mushroom hummus, an earthy dip punctuated by a garlicky slash of the Moroccan herb sauce. Eggplant hummus is pounded to a satiny, slightly bittersweet finish and topped with diced marinated eggplant and a blizzard of chopped parsley. The hummusmight be the most vibrant of the bunch, its toasted sesame base inflected with the bright, herbal notes of stewed favas.
It’s possible, though, to eat at Hasiba without so much as touching hummus. There is a satisfying classicon the menu, a bubbling-hot blend of tomatoes and peppers layered with sweetness, tartness and a twinge of heat.
The falafel sandwich is hard to resist; the craggy deep-fried balls are beautifully crisp and textured, although the taste of spiced garbanzo and pureed herbs is too subtle to leave a lasting impression considered against the other options. Hasiba may become the source of your new favorite dessert, though: pita bites, miniature pillows of deep-fried pita lacquered in honey and sugar. Wash it down with a cup of, an electrically tart and herbal mint lemonade. Lemonade is probably not the reason you come to Hasiba, of course — you came to luxuriate over a dinner plate of hummus so simple yet so intensely satisfying, you might have to call your friends and tell them about it.The team behind Culver City’s Lodge Bread Co.
