Mimi's close to serving hummus and other Middle-Eastern fare on East 14th Street



Just noting the recent arrival of the signage at the new home for Mimi's Hummus on East 14th Street just west of Second Avenue...



Back in the spring, Eater reported that the Ditmas Park-based Mimi's was expanding into Manhattan with locations at the Vanderbilt food hall next to Grand Central (now open!) and the East Village.

The 6-year-old Mimi's, which Eater says serves "some of the city's best hummus and shakshuka," will have an expanded menu here that includes "a few larger plates at dinner like lemon chicken meatballs, brisket, and the Middle Eastern rice and lentil dish mejadara."

We reached out to Mimi's to see if they have an opening date in mind. Will update when/if we hear back.

The small space was previously home for eight months to the $1 pizza/BBQ combo of Wicked Wolfe BBQ.
