If you’re someone who’s been hunting for authentic, original Shawarma in Pune, there’s finally a place that gets it right. Hummus, a brand-new Middle Eastern restaurant on Apte Road, Shivaji Nagar. And it’s already creating waves with its bold #NoMayo campaign!
Unlike the watered-down street versions overloaded with mayonnaise and cabbage, Hummus offers an original one. Their shawarma is made just like in the Middle East—with zero mayo and full of traditional flavors. In fact, their #NoMayo Shawarma became an instant hit on social media, especially after going viral on the Urbanly Instagram handle. Within just a week of opening, Hummus has been witnessing sold-out batches of shawarmas every evening.
What makes the Shawarmas here special? The wraps aren’t generic. You get to choose between Saj bread or fresh Khubus, both baked in-house. Stand near the counter and you’ll actually see the Khubus being puffed up fresh in a wood fire oven.
And the sauces? No shortcuts here either. Each one is made from scratch in-house—creamy Tahini and classic hummus, the punchy Garlic Toum, and a refreshing Mint Sauce. These rich, authentic sauces give the shawarma a depth of flavor that mayonnaise just can’t replicate.
Instead of using cheap cabbage as filler, Hummus opts for crunchy fresh lettuce, staying true to traditional textures and taste. The juicy grilled meat, the warm baked bread, the real sauces, and the fresh greens all come together to create a Shawarma experience that’s leagues above the rest.
But Shawarma isn’t the only thing on the menu here. You can also try other Middle Eastern favorites like Manakish, Hummus Pita, and Hummus Platters. Whether you’re craving a light bite or a hearty meal, Hummus delivers on authenticity and flavor.
Hummus is now the go-to spot for Middle Eastern food lovers in Pune. For those who’ve always wanted the real deal without the mayo overload, this place is a must-visit. So the next time you crave an original Shawarma in Pune, skip the mayo and head straight to Hummus. Authenticity has never tasted this good!
