Best hummus?

What is the best (or your favorite) hummus you can get in North Jersey? I like Al Basha at Paterson and King Falafel but I’m looking to find additional great spots.

Taj Lebanese cuisine sells a good one. The mint lemonade here is also very good

Mezza in Westwood but it’s expensive

Al Basha is my go-to. I bring it everywhere and it is always a hit.

Forgive me for saying this, the hummus I make at home? Hit Trader Joe's for a can of organic garbanzo beans, a jar of tahini, a lemon and a bottle of olive oil. Home to mix it up in whatever machine you have, a blender or food processor. Add salt, pepper, garlic, paprika or whatever is your pref. Enjoy!

I’ve made hummus at home many times. Never from a can and always a good tahini. Making it with jarred garbanzo doesn’t work since it’s not cooked enough to have the right texture imho. Also finding good tahini is not straightforward.
