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.

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.
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.

New location but classic neighborhood spot. Really amazing food and since the pandemic they have a lot of to-go options as well.

The place is awful. It’s just a small corner for takeout. I traveled there specifically to sit and have hummus, but found out they hardly have any seating (and no bathroom). Their menu is unclear, and I specifically asked for a platter with hummus and shawarma, paid $30, and then got something weird with a bunch of tired vegetables. I left without eating it. Who the hell eats shawarma with cauliflower? Stay away from this place.

What the F happened to this place? The food is completely different, lacks flavor and care. Mimis managed to move away from what made them good. The new space lacks charm and warmth like the original.
ALSO watched food fall out of the fridge, onto the floor; they proceeded to scoop it BACK up, OFF the floor into the container, and put it back in the fridge for sale.
Zero care and left completely astonished. I’ll never return, even though I’ve been going for a decade.
I love this restaurant
