Mariya FedJune 14, 2016It's very cozy (small) but the food comes out very quickly and the staff is extremely nice. I had the Iraqi pita pocket and it wasn't my favorite thing in the world. The hummus is great!
Michelle CMay 29, 2016Slow and uneven, but polite service. Delicious, healthy menu. Very trendy and intimate atmosphere. Perfect for date night or going out with a friend.
Serious EatsMarch 13, 2013Far and away the best hummus in NYC; try it with ground beef on top (trust us). And don't miss their excellent vegetable side dishes, either.
DinaApril 24, 2014Worth the trek to Brooklyn if you're a hummus lover. It's fantastic and always fresh. The rest of the menu is tasty Israeli home-food cooking. Good brunch and lunch options. Cheap.
Jacqueline HuieNovember 3, 2017The Hummus of course and the braised beets. The Branzino 😋And Best of all you get 10% off at Cortelyou Craft Beer next door for eating at Mimi’s!
JeffreyJuly 20, 2014Mimi Kitani is known for her hummus, which she blends with lemon and garlic, enriches with olive oil, and tops with everything from fava beans to cinnamon-tinged ground beef.
Marie RicherMarch 26, 2023Labneh was so creamy and delicious with roasted beet salad. Everyone who works here is nice too.
Carmen NMay 24, 2015Yes, I do pretty much like everything here. But I especially like the hummus with meat, the labane, and the spiced carrots with feta.
Elie BleierDecember 28, 2014Top tier hummus. Green shakshuka and cauliflower salad were super tasty as well. Will be returning very soon!
BonApril 19, 2020Obvi the fluffiest hummus but also baba ganoush and tzatziki and the pita also so fluffy
EchoDAJanuary 21, 2013Yummy brunch and great looks in this tiny spot! a good place for spending a couple of delicious hours on a Sunday morning.
Emily K.January 11, 2015Easily the best hummus restaurant in NYC. The mushroom hummus is out of this world.
For brunch get Mimi's open faced sandwich with labne roasted pepper and sautéed eggplant -- it's the sh*t. Shakshouka pretty solid too.
Tochtli DigitalNovember 4, 2012Really good and testy but small portion, even the water glasses are small, small space, small meals, big flavor and big prices... EXPENSIVE, but excellent quality.
- Carmen NAugust 9, 2014Really really good hummus (duh!) but tiny place. Try something different each time!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Serves up numerous riffs on its creamy namesake hummus: meat, mushroom, fava bean. Read more
Wayne BennettJuly 7, 2014Yes the hummus is very good. But overall the menu needs more diversity and room for standard fare. Their specialty shop next door is not so special.
Anna TovkunJune 18, 2017Get the Mimi's sandwich! The hummus is alright, not great. Skip the cauliflower salad.
Lalita SalgaokarSeptember 22, 2019Didn’t like it at all. The hummus wasn’t great. The tomato sauce in the shakshuka tasted straight out a can (yuck). Would say skip this place tons of good establishments around.
Jessica RamirezNovember 9, 2011The filo dough stuffed with ground meat and spices is too good not to try.
Sally ZemmolDecember 31, 2013The food was great but I walked out with all my clothing and bags smelling like foot for days. Not going back anytime soon.
Margaret SuhJune 27, 2016Don't bother with the shakshuka. $2 for sausage only gets you a few itty bits, and pita costs another $1 on top. Overall very disappointed!
Paige FinnJanuary 6, 2011How can you leave and NOT get the hummus??!! So amazing. The sage mint tea is pretty special too.- Wayne BennettSeptember 8, 2014Why they turned the specialty food store next door into a beer shop is beyond me.
Most things here are delightful, and the cauliflower is one of them.
