the founder story
Founder Oren D. channels the Tel Aviv food feeling that there is more to life than tech dreams. An Israeli tech entrepreneur, Oren and his wife Nancy, a restaurateur, opened the first Oren's Hummus on University Avenue in Palo Alto in 2011 to bring the Mediterranean flavors he grew up with in Tel Aviv to Silicon Valley. Chef and partner David Cohen and CEO Mistie Cohen joined soon after and helped grow it into a Bay Area favorite. Hummus is mixed fresh every day with chickpeas, tahini and spices imported from the Middle East, pita is baked throughout the day and falafel is fried to order. Chicken skewers, beef kebab, labane, turmeric basmati rice, Moroccan carrots and spicy green harissa round out a generous family-style spread, with plenty of gluten-free and vegan choices for every team. Rip, scoop, eat.
