Mimi's Cafe

I came here Monday night and there were no other customers were present. The dining area gave me Egyptian and Moroccan vibes. I ordered the Middle Eastern Combination Platter ($12.95) which came with 3 pieces of falafel, 2 small grape leaves, an incredibly small portion of hummus, babaganoush, foul (fava bean stew), tahini sauce, pita bread and a "Mediterranean salad". The falafel was too hard on the outside that I could not pierce my fork through it. It was almost as if they deep fried it multiple times. In addition, there was wayyyy too many cumin seeds in the falafel. The grape leaves were just ok and filled with a rice mixture. The foul was also full of cumin. The menu states that feta cheese is included, but I received none. The "Mediterranean salad" was not a Mediterranean salad at all. It was more like a cheap garden salad with cucumbers, tomato, lettuce, and carrots. I also ordered the mixed lamb & chicken kabob ($15.95) which only came with rice, onions, roasted green peppers and tomato, and a bland tahini sauce. There were no mushrooms as the menu stated there would be. Both the lamb and chicken were dry and had no flavor to them. I was pretty disappointed with this place. They lack serving components of what their menu states and the food quality is not fresh and flavorful.

I wasn't impressed with the food here. We ordered online on a Sunday because of the Yelp reviews. We got the Middle Eastern platter (two falafel patties, grape leaves, hummus, fool, baba-ghanoush, feta cube served with tahini sauce, house salad and homemade pita). So let me tell you what we DIDN'T get. I'm a huge fan of feta cheese so I was sorely put out when the feta cheese cubes were missing, and the grape leaves were about the width of your ring finger and didn't have much taste. The fool was chunky and lacking in flavor and the tahini sauce and salad dressing were watery. We also got a Four Seasons pizza but my BF said that the crust had a vague cinnamon flavor to it that he found odd. We spent $50+ and I just thought, "Meh." I would not be so harsh if I hadn't gone to Habib Meditteranean in Glen Burnie the week before and had some food that I thought was pretty darn terrific.

This is a nice restaurant to meet with friends and talk over a good meal. The food is different and exotic. Service is pretty good, and an overall friendly atmosphere to dine in!!

Friendly service and a wide selection of delicious food. All in all, a very nice restaurant.

I love Mimi's! My dad is disabled and I order their cheese steak pita for him - ALOT! They communicate with me when they deliver to him. This means so much because he doesn't get around as much as he used to. The food is exceptional. Staff, extremely professional and friendly!! 100 Stars!
