Hummus restaurant replaces Kensington Market army surplus store
In the place where, not long ago, you could stock up on camo jackets and cargo pants, you can now carb up with a plate of pita and hummus.
Abu Hummus has officially opened in Kensington Market, replacing what used to be AAA Army Surplus at 199 Baldwin Street.
While many will mourn the iconic clothing and accessory store, it can’t be denied that the middle of a heatwave is the prime time to welcome a hummus-focused eatery to downtown.
“As avid hummus enthusiasts, we strive to bring hummus culture to Canada and normalize the concept of hummus as a main meal instead of a side,” reads the new resto’s website.
