The Best Hummus in Toronto

There's nothing quite like a giant, creamy bowl of hummus with a good drizzle of olive oil and warm pita for dipping. This dreamy Middle Eastern dish combines freshly cooked chickpeas with tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice and garlic. Although the exact place of origin is slightly unclear, the first written recipes for hummus came from Cairo, Egypt, in the 13th century. Luckily for us, this delectable dip has been brought to Canada over the years and many different Middle Eastern restaurants in Toronto serve it. From classic preparations to versions dressed up with soft-boiled eggs, silky roasted veggies, crispy falafel balls, shredded shawarma-style meat and more. Below are the best bowls of hummus you can snag in the city from spots that are currently open for takeout, delivery, dine-in service or all of the above!
