Mimis Hummus was founded in 29 by Brooklynite Mimi Kitani. Mimi, who was raised on the home cooked food of her parents and grandparents, simply wanted to convey her love of cooking and bring the flavors of fresh, seasonal, Middle Eastern cuisine to NYC. Her "sunny cafe serves dishes- not just hummus- that bear traces of the chefs family history in Israel, Morocco, and the Kurdish region of Iraq" (The New York Times). Her locally-sourced, handmade concoctions and bright, modern aesthetic are quickly making Mimis Hummus a staple of Brooklyn cuisine.
