Mimi's Hummus Brooklyn Reviews
Loved Mimi’s! Everything is homemade with love. And get the pistachio cake ‼️
Hired Mimi's for our wedding catering and it was incredible! Multiple guests have said to me afterwards that the food was incredible with some even saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had! I am a private chef so you KNOW I needed good food at my wedding. My husband and I went to multiple wedding caterers and did tastings and to me, it was all boring wedding food. When we did our tasting with Mimi, I just new it was the one. The food was actually restaurant-quality and you can tell it is cooked with love and passion. Also, very reasonably priced for wedding catering cuz that can be verrry expensive! Mimi was super sweet and even came on a site visit with us so that she knew what the kitchen was like. I couldn't be happier- actually I could...if I had actually gotten to eat some of the delicious dessert they served but I was too busy cutting the cake when that happened...well, I guess that will have to be at my next wedding! Juuust kidding. Anyways, thank you so much, Mimi, we couldn't be happier with everything you did for us!
As someone who almost didn’t order because of the recent negative reviews I am so glad I gave this restaurant a try. Mimi’s Shwarma Platter was delicious as well as a generous portion of chicken, rice and the side salads. I didn’t experience the old location but I’ll be a repeat customer of the new spot for takeout or casual dine-in. The cakes looked delicious too, and I liked the selection of to-go and pantry items.
Loved the food. I actually only ordered takeout, but I have walked past many times in the neighborhood and it is such a charming little place from the outside. This evening I decided to order the branzino. It comes skin-side up on a bed of long grain rice and lentils. The fish was perfectly cooked, almost buttery, with a light flavor of good olive oil, lemon, and something simple and delicious that I can’t even identify (possibly an herb). I thought the portion looked small, but it was actually exactly perfect for a weeknight dinner. I will certainly be dining in next time I have company in town. Update: no more branzino but they have a great salmon dish that I also recommend.
Wow — absolutely delicious to the last bite. I had the Mimi’s Platter with beautifully seasoned lamb kebab, crunchy farro tabbouleh, and tender carrots. The hummus was chef’s kiss, and the pickles had the perfect snap — great texture without being too sour. So glad to have this spot nearby. Can’t wait to come back.
Excellent experience. Best meal I have had out anywhere in long time. Staff great, atmosphere great. And best part, was my birthday weekend and my amazing daughter paid the bill. She has arrived at adulthood. Tears in my eyes every time I think of it.
A last minute decision to grab dinner after a school sporting event and what great luck to find Mimi’s. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma bowl and it was the perfect balance of fresh, delicious but not heavy. I could eat this at least once a week. Soup and hummus also great but when you find a simple dish done exceptionally well…how can you not leave happy? Great service and atmosphere earned Mimi’s five stars.
My mom, who is visiting me from out of town, absolutely loved Mimi’s! She said this is the best restaurant meal she has had in months. Such a cute little place for lunch! Their decor — even down to the silverware & water glasses — was absolutely amazing! Such a cute place! The falafel was probably the best falafel I’ve ever had in the area — and I’m vegetarian so that’s saying a lot! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The staff was so lovely, especially the woman in the front that mentioned she had a daughter! She was so thoughtful and kind. My mom was very impressed after visiting here, and as a local, so was I!
I stopped by this charming little place this weekend for lunch. The service and food here is really good. I ordered the roasted cauliflower and the chicken shawarma. Both were very tasty and had good flavors. They have a decent sized menu in spite of the place being small, and the prices are reasonable, in my opinion. Now, don't be alarmed that they do outdoor dining only because they make sure that the greenhouse setup outside is comfortable for the customers. Inside, they also have a little store that sells food, beverages (including beer), plants, and baked goods. I definitely recommend and I will most certainly stop by again in the near future.
If you are looking into treating yourself to a healthy meal enjoying an evening of dining outdoors- this place - the whole block is pretty authentic - strongly recommend Mimi's Hummus if you are near the area! i was indulging too much in the pita and humm- THE BEET AND CALIFLOWER was amazing PLUS - THE TRADITIONAL HUMMUS is a must! Hands down THE BEST hummus i had in NYC! Definitely recommend you to order extra pita, and grab a beer from the local section! It seems to be many people's favorite place- You could also order to go and they have a wide range of selection of local beer, cidar and kombycha beer, bubblies & wine & beverages, and food, including baked goods. i am eager explore more in the future-!
5 course meal, very affordable: Whipped hummus fresh and fluffy with warm, puffy pita. Savory roasted cauliflower with warm tahini dressing. Zesty, bright salad wakes up the palette and balances that buttery tahini. Hearty moussaka. Floral honey cake with Turkish coffee. Nice outdoor seating. Mini market for fresh vegetables, craft beer and imported products on your way out. Outdoor seating, good pandemic precautions. Sidenote: front row seat to fire station across the street. I had no idea how busy they are! They barely get the truck parked and they're suiting up and heading back out...
Food is exceptional. Their zataar pita was so good, I had to buy some for home. Also love their fresh hummus. Their braided beets are also delicious. Staff is nice but had to be reminded about our missing pita from the platter. Wish they had more seating. Their outdoor seating at their old location looked better than the new one.
The best hummus this side of the Atlantic Ocean. Seriously that good. Came here on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. The service was A+ and again the hummus was out of this world good. Will definitely be back for the hummus and try some of their other items on the menu.
Great little spot with little patio and market area, order to eat in or to go, and market items (plastic containers of hummus, tabbouleh, baba ganoush, tzatziki, pitas etc). Sandwiches available (great chicken donair very generous portion), shashuska sandwich much smaller. Sandwich approximately $18, hummus and dips about $8-10. Will return for sure! Be mindful of automatic +20% tip even on takeaway items at market.
I ordered the shakshuka and it was very bland. It didn’t taste like how an authentic shakshuka should. It was literally tomato sauce and egg and nothing else. No coriander, no peppers, no feta cheese, and no spice. Also this is a Tunisian dish and it is not Israeli.
Absolute scam, the shawarma bowl was 95% rice and 2 major items were missing from my order. When I called there was no manager I could speak to, just some rude guy interrupting me and unprofessional. Never ordering again from this place.
I visited the restaurant alone on a hot 90-degree day and chose a table in the shaded patio area. The table, which could be configured for either four or two people, was part of a flexible outdoor seating arrangement. Despite the restaurant not accepting reservations, the server informed me that I couldn’t use the table for four. I kindly requested to stay if the table was split, but my request was denied.
