HUMMUS

Description

The Most Authentic Hummus in Amsterdam

Welcome to the silkiest, most flavorful Syrian Lebanese classic from Op Saj Kareem. Known in Dutch simply as “Hummus dip,” our version is made from chickpeas slow-cooked until tender, then blended with stone-ground tahini, fresh lemon, and a touch of garlic. Each bowl is finished with a generous drizzle of cold-pressed olive oil and served with warm Lebanese bread.

Why Our Recipe Is Different

What makes ours so smooth and creamy? It starts with the chickpeas. We soak dried beans overnight, cook them slowly with a hint of baking soda to break down the skins, then blend on high speed for several minutes until the mix reaches that signature whipped texture. No shortcuts, no canned chickpeas — just the way authentic Levantine mezze should be made.

What’s in Every Order

Every serving is generously plated and includes: silky chickpea paste, a swirl of tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic, a sprinkle of paprika, fresh parsley, premium olive oil, and warm Lebanese flatbread. The combination delivers a creamy, nutty, lemony dip that is satisfying as a snack, a starter, or a full vegan meal.

A Syrian Lebanese Hummus Heritage

This chickpea classic is one of the most iconic foods of the Levant — read more about its long history if you would like to dive into the cultural roots. At Op Saj Kareem we follow the Syrian Lebanese style: extra creamy, lemon-forward, and finished with a deep pool of olive oil that you can scoop with bread.

Perfect Pairings

Make it a feast! Our chickpea dip is the natural starter to any Syrian Lebanese meal. Pair it with our Falafel Sandwich for a vegan classic, our Chicken Shawarma Wrap for the iconic combo, or our smoky Mutabal for a tasting platter.

Halal, Vegan, and Made Fresh

Our recipe is 100% plant-based, suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets, and prepared in our halal kitchen. Nothing comes from a tub or jar — every batch is whipped fresh, often the same morning you order it. That commitment to freshness is why customers in Amsterdam regularly call ours the best in the city.

The olive oil that finishes every bowl is cold-pressed and fragrant. This obsession with quality is why our dip tastes nothing like the supermarket version.
