Best Of Cleveland: Gas Station Hummus

Mama Mary's Hummus can only be found at this Sunoco gas station in Olmsted Falls.

Fuel up on Mama Mary’s Hummus from the unlikeliest of places. Five years ago, Muntaha Dari started making a few varieties of hummus for her son’s deli in the Olmsted Falls Sunoco gas station. When word spread about her delicious made-from-scratch spread, it became a social media sensation and inspired Dari to create more than a dozen other flavors, including pomegranate, chocolate and a snappy dill pickle made from chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, pickle juice and diced pickles. “I always make a small batch for myself to see if I like it first,” says Dari. “I’m always thinking of new flavors.” This fall, don’t miss the pumpkin cinnamon hummus ($3.99 per 8 ounces) made from Libby 100 Percent Pure Pumpkin, honey and brown sugar. “My hummus doesn’t stay in the fridge for a week,” says Dari. “I run out, and it’s freshly made every week.” 9796 Columbia Road, Olmsted Falls, 440-235-0351, instagram.com/mamamaryshummus
