The food writers do seem to be in love with this neighborhood lately, and here's another rave from the blogger who calls herself The Girl Who Ate Everything:
It seems wrong to deem anything "the best [insert foodstuff]" if you haven't tried every possible contender in the category, but after you eat at Mimi's Hummus you don't want to try anything else because Mimi's has set an impossibly high standard of hummus awesomeness. Granted, I'm saying this as someone who's never been to the Middle East, nor someone who would characterize herself as a hummus expert. In general, I merely like hummus, but specifically, I love Mimi's hummus.
Whyyyy? It's silky smooth. It's creamy. It haz a flavor. It's thick and rich, but not too much of either. I eat it and think, "This is what I want all hummus to be like." I've never had such deeply satisfying hummus before.
