The Mazal Difference

REAL HUMMUS,
Not A Grocery Tub.

The hummus at Mazal is ground the morning you eat it, made fresh, and built the way it has been built in Tel Aviv and Beirut for a hundred years. Three things set it apart from the grocery-store version, and you taste all three in the first bite.

Ground In‑House Every Morning

Dried chickpeas are soaked overnight, cooked soft, then ground fresh through a meat grinder with tahini, lemon, garlic and olive oil. No mix, no powder, no preservatives. The texture is rustic and rich, with whole chickpeas left on top.

Fresh, Not From a Tub

Hummus was never meant to sit in a plastic tub for weeks. At Mazal every plate is ground the same morning you eat it, finished at the pass with olive oil, cumin, parsley and a pile of whole chickpeas. You can add warm chickpeas on top.

Vegan, Gluten‑Free

The hummus itself is naturally vegan and gluten-free: chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic and olive oil. Every plate comes with one warm pita. Classic Chickpeas hummus is $12.40. The Mazal Signature with falafel is $15.

Quick Answer

What makes Mazal hummus different in Charleston SC?

Mazal Mediterranean Street Food at 1901 Ashley River Rd in West Ashley, Charleston SC grinds hummus fresh every morning from whole dried chickpeas - not canned, not factory-processed.

Dried chickpeas soak overnight, cook until tender, then run through a meat grinder in-house with tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. The result is a rich, slightly coarser hummus with real chickpea flavor that packaged hummus cannot replicate. Classic hummus starts at $12.40, made fresh with olive oil, cumin, fresh parsley, and one warm pita. The Mazal Signature plate adds crispy falafel, tahini sauce, salad, and pickles for $15.

Topped versions with shawarma or ground beef kebab reach $18.90. Every plate is 100 percent vegan and naturally gluten-free when ordered without pita. Mazal is open Sunday through Friday 11am to 8pm. Call (843) 425-8551.
