Discover Winnipeg's most beloved hummus at Habibiz Cafe. Our Hummus Plate is a timeless Middle Eastern classic prepared the authentic Palestinian way — smooth, creamy housemade hummus crafted from premium chickpeas and tahini, finished with a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a dusting of warm paprika. Served alongside fresh, pillowy pita bread, every scoop delivers the kind of depth and richness that only comes from a recipe passed down through generations. Whether you're starting your meal or sharing with friends, this fan-favourite starter is the perfect introduction to the flavours of Habibiz Cafe on Portage Ave in Winnipeg's West End.
At Habibiz Cafe, our Hummus Plate is made fresh every single day using premium chickpeas, silky tahini, bright lemon juice, fresh garlic, and a touch of cumin. Each batch is blended to a velvety smooth consistency, then generously drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and finished with a sprinkle of paprika for colour and warmth. We never use shortcuts, artificial preservatives, or pre-made bases — this is real, homemade Palestinian hummus the way it's meant to be.
Served with warm, freshly baked pita bread, our Hummus Plate is 100% vegan-friendly and Halal-certified. It's a staple on our menu and one of the most-ordered items by both regulars and first-time visitors to Habibiz Cafe. Whether you enjoy it as a starter, a side dish, or a light meal on its own, our hummus delivers an experience that's simple, honest, and deeply satisfying.
What sets Habibiz Cafe's hummus apart from anything else in Winnipeg is the freshness and the technique. We soak and cook our chickpeas from scratch rather than relying on canned alternatives, which gives the hummus a naturally rich, buttery texture that can't be replicated. The balance of tahini, lemon, and garlic is calibrated to a traditional Palestinian recipe that has been refined over years of perfecting the craft. Every plate is assembled to order, ensuring you taste the difference from the very first bite. In a city full of options, our hummus consistently earns praise as the best in Winnipeg — and once you try it, you'll understand why customers keep coming back for more.
