Mimi’s Hummus

Ordering from here will most likely leave you hungry, it’s also ridiculously overpriced, especially the sides ($ 7 for a cup of carrots?).
Not worth it for delivery.

This is probably my fav place for shakshuka and hummus plates. Ambiance is nice, staff are always attentive and helpful. every time I come here I feel like I’m in a little pleasant oasis. Love!

Very meh to mehhhh.
Overpriced, small portions, no flavor, okay service, cute but inefficient atmosphere. In detail:
Grape leaves special: half the size of a normal grape leave, and a weird flavorless yogurt green sauce. $ 7 for 5, meh.
Pita side: whole wheat, dry, burnt, and tasted like something from a dollar store that went bad. Cold, not even slightly warm, which would have made a shitty tasting pita SLIGHTLY better.
Shawarma bowl: underseasoned meat, bland veggies with nothing done to them, okay rice, no flavor bland yogurt and no hot sauce or zing at all. Super boring.
Service: unattentive, nice enough.
Atmosphere: cute, but way too small the table barely fit anything on it. I saw the table next to us having to use a stool for their small plates meal. Really?
Not impressed at all.

The food is tasty and obviously of good quality. The eponymous hummuses are sufficiently smooth and creamy and the kebab, though minuscule is moist and tasty. Chicken Schwarma barely registered however, and frankly it and everything else is wildly overpriced, especially considering said tiny portions. The place has a stranglehold on the local population due to the extremely limited neighborhood restaurant scene however, and I will no doubt be forced to eat here again many more times, on the occasions when work takes me to these parts.

Simple, clean, tasty. You can easily miss it since the place is squeezed between 2 other stores, but it worth to look for. I can’t say that they have the best food I had, but I can say that it is unique, and tastes that I haven’t taste for a long time.
I had hummus plate with mushroom. Good.
Shakshuka with meat. Exec lent.
Lemonade. Good.
Pita bread. OK
The service was very good and vine is of a healthy place. Visit!

What happened to this place??? I use to love Mimi’s Hummus but after my order tonight I definitely won’t think twice about this place again. My boyfriend and I paid $ 30 for bland food. We ordered traditional hummus, Iraqi pita and a side salad. The hummus was embarrassing. It had no lemon which pretty much ruins it, and we ordered an extra pita which we never received. The Iraqi pita had no amba and the side salad consisted of literally tomatoes and cucumbers with tahini for $ 7 and was like a child’s portion… total rip off. This place is really inconsistent and I don’t recommend it.

Mimi’s is absolutely delicious. The perfect thing on a cold night when you’re extra hungry. I am so glad they are in the neighborhood. Based on intelligence gathered on 3 visits within the past three months: awesome quick weeknight dinner, hummus need a little bit more lemon/​garlic flavor, AMAZING beets, equally amazing carrots, and definitely do not miss out on the Kebab pita or bowl (this will knock your socks off) and the chicken bowl (the thinly sliced cucumber is the perfect topping). Good ingredients prepared simply and with a lot of love. Total thumbs up.

Both times my friends and I were here for small birthday celebrations we were surprised at how small the portions were and how loooong it took them to prepare the food for us, considering the portions were so small! OK, it does look like you have a tiny kitchen but make the portions bigger. Second of all why I will never come back is because my friends and I left the appropriate tip BOTH times we were there but the last time we were there the waitress came up and asked us ‘if there is anything wrong with your meal today?’ She made us feel terrible for again LEAVING A SOLID TIP that was apparently not good enough for them. SO SO SO RUDE, considering we ordered a very good amount of food. She kept standing there with a scowl on her face as we put in more. To make it worse the other waitress and staff all looked at us all miffed. NEVER AGAIN.

Green Shakshuka $ 12 — too much salty feta cheese, it was OK.
Shakshuka Meguez $ 14 — eggs were a tad over-​cooked. I was expecting a runny egg but didn’t get that. Other than that, everything was perfect. I used pita and cleaned the skillet.
Traditional Hummus $ 8 — large bowl, tasted like any other hummus out in the market. Nothing special and bland.
Roasted Cauliflower $ 7 — first off I’m a fan of cauliflower. But I couldn’t make this plate favorable. It’s a cold dish with a tart lemon after taste. My fiancé enjoyed it.
Location is super tiny. Great for catching up with a friend… And I mean 1 friend.

The food was hands down delicious. I got one of the bowls and it’s nice helping for the price. They also have a great deal with the neighboring market that brings you a jar of any of the listed beers for $ 14. You can even get it refilled afterwards if you stop by for only $ 8.50.
The restaurant space itself is very very tiny. A group of 8 would probably take up half if not more of the restaurant. I went alone which was nice but honestly it feels more like a date spot. Quiet with a dim candlelit feel. Wouldn’t go back alone but definitely with my girlfriend.

Creamy goodness in a bowl, and a lot of it! Go for the traditional hummus here, you won’t be disappointed (and the mushroom one is probably just as good, if not better…) The hummus comes with a serving of pita bread, soft and pillowy — perfect as a vehicle to guide that hummus straight to your belly! There’s some olive oil and a hint of herbs and lemon in the hummus too, which helps cut down on some of that richness. Here’s a warning, you might run out of pita. But don’t fret! You will probably start eating out of the bowl with a spoon (or your hands?), and I may or may not be speaking from experience. Happy hummus hunting!

Super delicious food!
The menu is very small but even vegan people will be satisfied!
Ordered humus and pita bread! Absolutely amazing! And couscous as a second, couldn’t finish it!
Can’t wait to come back!
Interior and staff was very nice! Very cozy and adorable!

*This review is for their new Urban Space location*
You have three meats and two carbs on your menu. Chicken, beef, fish. Pita, rice. If you are out of rice and chicken and two of your five offerings are chicken shawarma, then you’re pretty much failing at your very simple job.
I really have no sympathy that Urban Space is so new. You were open yesterday and saw the huge turnout. You know how many office buildings are in a one square block radius. All you have to do is have rice and chicken and then sell it to people.
Well, maybe that’s not all… you also have to cook your food. My friend WAS able to get food before you ran out. She had a meatball and rice bowl. Complete with not-​fully-​cooked meatballs, because your servers were giving food to people out of order, meaning the «first» orders weren’t getting their food, and then your cooks had to rush and «cook» new items. I’ve attached a photo of these purple-​y meatballs…
If you can’t serve people ²⁄₅ of your menu, and if you can’t fully cook your food, then maybe don’t open until you can…

I’ve only been to Mimi’s once, but I’m still thinking about the roasted cauliflower with garlic, lemon, and a drizzle of tahini. It’d be the perfect dish to serve a cauliflower skeptic.
Cauliflower skeptic (noun): one of those poor souls who «doesn’t like cauliflower» because they’ve only ever tried it raw, on a veggie platter, potentially dipped in ranch dressing.
Roasted cauliflower generally, and Mimi’s roasted cauliflower specifically, is a game-​changer for you skeptics. Roasting the cauliflower transforms the flavor: it’s savory and meaty, offset by the tangy tahini and lightened with lemon juice.
Mimi’s is adorable, too– the perfect place to catch up with a friend over lunch, which is exactly what I did. Don’t miss the cauliflower!

Great food, fresh ingredients. Some of the best hummus I’ve ever had — creamy, flavorful… I’ve tried both the Traditional and the Fava Bean, and they are both excellent. The Shakshuka is a solid dish with potential, but I think it could be a bit spicier — once you run out of bits of egg, it kind of turns into a thick yet boring tomato stew. The small plates are mostly excellent — the cauliflower in particular is unique — its a cold cauliflower salad, and the lemon and tahini work perfectly. The carrots are great as well, the beets a bit boring (again, a bit tame with the spices).
Great drink offerings (beers from the Craft Beer shop next store, small but nice wine selection) and incredibly friendly, indulgent service — we arrived 30 minutes before closing at most, and they were as patient and lovely as if we were the first customers of the night, even trying to talk us into dessert when we were far and away the last 2 people there — just a lovely place. It is a bit cramped (at least until you are the last 2 people in the restaurant) and they have these ridiculously annoying ceramic water cups that seem handmade — the edges are uneven and made me feel like I was going to cut my lip on them — but now I feel like I’m just being petty… come here and enjoy a great (and reasonably priced) meal. Just drink booze instead of water.

Absolutely 100% god awful food. It is so bad I don’t need to put it in my ‘Worst Mediterranean’ list, just in general.
I was sitting at a bar across the street and wanted something quick and easy to eat. I came in and ordered a $ 15 shawarma bowl. I was told it would take 20 – 30 minutes and was actually excited that it would be fresh made. I came back 25 minutes later just in time to see rice coming out of the microwave. Ruh Roh.
First off the to-​go container was larger than their bags so the waitress shoved it in sideways and got all the sauce on the roof of the paper container. When I got back to the bar I opened it up and it was a mess. I have had a lot of shawarma in my day and it looked nothing like this. A few small pieces of indistinguishable rubbery meat was strewn about a sad sea of rice and an entire quarter of an onion. Entirely too much mint dominated what little flavor there was. Not to mention this was a SMALL portion for $ 15 — borderline offensively considering they microwave their damn rice and somehow this took 30 minutes to make.
It is a same really, because it is a very cute spot and I doubt there is much else like this in the area. But I wouldn’t wish this food on my enemies. Avoid avoid avoid.

A little hole in the wall, if not for Unilocal I’d never spot this place. (not that I’m missing out)
Place is very small and kinda artsy I’m pretty surprised how this neighborhood had evolved lots of cool new eateries.
Nice Waitress greets me as I walk in and I asked her for a to go menu, she points in the direction of a table with regular menus and paper menus.
She mentions to grab the folded paper menu, I picked an item ready to order she tells me oh at this moment we aren’t ordering from the to go menu use the regular menu, oh well I find the same item and order that.
I Give her my credit card to pay a total of $ 10.89 she’s like since its you’re first time here we will take it but normally we have a $ 15 minimum, hmmm ya think
I ordered the meat hummus /​ground beef with hummus and pine nuts.
Nothing to exciting about the hummus which lacks flavor as if it was bought in bulk from a commercial co.
The ground beef was chewy and bland definitely won’t rave about that.
Would I come back! Well not excited about this place so probably not.

Tiny place, but no complaints. The service, especially last night (an Australian lady – wish I got her name), is wonderful. I keep trying to think up a qualm I have, but there really isn’t one. this spot is great for vegetarians. Big props for the mushroom hummus. could eat it all day. there’s honestly nothing I’ve had here that I wouldn’t have again, so take your pick.
Don’t skip on dessert. We got some delicious chocolate truffles. they’re raw, but you’d never know it. they come recommended for a reason.

So good. Worth making the trek out to Ditmas Park for!
I’ve only been here for dinner once, but the service was excellent, and the chicken couscous was excellent. Obviously, you can’t go wrong with any of the hummus here either.
Excited to try brunch here sometime soon!

If you’re looking for some simple yet solid Mediterranean food, Mimi’s has got you covered. The best move here is to get a bunch of items and just go crazy.
The original lemon garlic hummus comes with a mound of warm chickpeas in the middle, delicious. And if you like mushrooms, try the mushroom hummus. Also comes with a mound of warm and moist mushrooms in the middle.
Labneh (thick tangy yogurt)-comes with a drizzle of olive oil and Zaatar seasoning, yum.
Shakshuka-​comes piping hot in a cast iron skillet. Sweet, spicy, and perfect on a cold day. Also comes with side of Israeli salad and pita.
Ample of amount of pita is provided!!! (I hate middle eastern joints that give me hummus and not enough pita to eat it with!) Whole wheat pita is available as well. If you’ve had enough bread, be sure to ask for sliced cucumbers to use as your dipping vehicle.
