mushroom hummus is amazing and I really love the kebab bowl. such a nice little spot for dinner in my neighborhood. I also love their beer store next door so they usually have great options to drink as well. not the most stellar or attentive service but the food is delish and always filling.
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.
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.
Here's my take on their shakshuka, very tasty although the eggs we're a bit overcooked I enjoyed the dish. Not a big fan of lamb but I can see why it adds to the dish. Reminds me a bit of a Hungarian dish I grew up with "Rakott Krumpli
THIS PLACE IS SO AMAZING I AM WRITING A YELP REVIEW AS THE BILL COMES. While this place is on the tinier end (7 tables), the service and ESPECIALLY the food is incredibly superb! For dinner tonight, my date and I had the mushroom hummus (recommend recommend recommend!!), the fish and lentils entree, roasted cauliflower, and sharmawa. The portions are generous and the flavor is amazing. I can't wait to come back!
With the Cortelyou strip blowing up like a Brooklyn strip should, Mimi's is the perfect addition to the variety of eateries offered there.
I will always love Mediterranean food so it definitely gets a star just for being my favourite cuisine. A bunch of us came here to try the breakfast menu. Firstly let's talk about the decor and vibe. Mimi's is definitely a tiny spot with very limited seats but if you come at the right hours, you'll be seated right away. The kitchen is right behind the counter with open view so you can see everything that goes on there. For me, that's a good thing. I like watching the chefs work.
We were seated right away and water and menus were brought within seconds. Once we ordered we did not have to wait long for our dishes to come. They are extremely vegetarian friendly which is a big plus these days.
My absolute favourite dish was the shakshuka. Texture, taste/spice was perfect. The tomato sauce was chunky with lots of garlic and onions added for flavor. Yum. The pancakes are different than the usual pancakes you'd get for brunch. Lots of honey and very very sweet. Not the biggest fan.
Coffee was perfectly strong and free refills.
They did have these chocolate rumballs that we ordered which were so damn amazing. The perfect end to a great breakfast.
The owners and waitstaff were an absolute pleasure to deal with and we will definitely be back for more.
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.
I came here today for brunch – got there at 11:15 and wanted hummus but they don't make it till 11:30 – kinda cranky about that because main reason I went was for hummus – I know now to go after 11:30.
I had breakfast with wifey – she had middle eastern eggs and I the shakshooka. Not sure how her poached eggs on sourdough were middle eastern , it seemed regular, think it was because they had lebna to bread. It went unnoticed though but still good.
Shakshooka was delicious. Someone mentioned they don't add seasoning and I noticed that but I don't like a lot of season, it had the perfect amount for me.
Pita bread was fresh, hot, and really good.
Some zatar though would give it a lil kick.
Also had ice coffee, Turkish coffee, and punchims. Ice coffee is stumptown and I'm a fan – good coffee. Turkish coffee was weak though but had a decebt taste but not enough kick. Lastly punchims, which are like chocolate truffles rolled in crushed pastacios, were good but I could have lived without them.
Lastly, service was on point. It's a small place however Waitress was helpful and kind.
I will come back to try dinner.
