Pita House

Duh. Pita House might be the hummus (or hommos) authority in Greenville. Their namesake is, after all, the food item most paired with the dip. The small Middle Eastern restaurant serves a creamy, slightly oily version of hummus. They also serve with with warm, fluffy pita.

The Cazbah
16 W. McBee Ave. - Greenville864-241-9909
You can't be a very good tapas bar unless you serve hummus. Just doesn't seem complete. Luckily, The Cazbah, does serve a black and white hummus dish, made, of course, with black beans and garbanzo beans, and served with pita and olive relish.
Two Chefs Delicatessen and Market
104 S. Main St. - Greenville864-370-9336
