On the upper west side of Manhattan, NY, Leyla combines modern Turkish flavors with traditional Mediterranean favorites. They make this classic, creamy hummus every day in house and top it with a beetroot salsa and pickled za'atar. Feel free to get creative with your toppings — maybe you fancy roasted red peppers or perhaps just a drizzle of good olive oil. No matter what, always remember to serve with warm pita bread!
