East meets West Somerville

Hummus at Kababish

by Nancy Kalajian

NOSHING & SIPPING

East meets West; West meets East -- no matter how you phrase it, the hummus at Kababish in Somerville's Davis Square is off the map. The smooth, lightly tangy concoction is made with just the right touch of garlic and cumin, and it's been earning accolades from even the best Lebanese home cooks. Yet, interestingly, owners Kulbir and Avtar Singh hail from Punjab, in northern India. This really is world cuisine. The hummus comes in a pita-pocket sandwich ($2.75) or on various combo plates with other Mediterranean snacks.

Kababish, located at 195 Elm Street, in Somerville, is open Monday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 5 to 10 p.m. Call (617) 623-3354.
