Center-of-the-plate hummus
Solomonov focused on Dizengoff’s signature hummus at CookNSolo’s upscale full-service Mediterranean restaurant Zahav. Customer acclaim for Zahav’s hummus led the multiconcept operation to launch a counter-service restaurant centered on hummus, making it the star of the plate rather than an appetizer like at Zahav. Each meal at Dizengoff starts with a base of hummus that’s topped with seasonal ingredients and served with a pita, chopped salad and Israeli pickles. Menus and hummus varieties change daily, but restaurants always offer at least three types of hummus: one plain (Tehina), one with veggies and one with meat.
