A new takeout spot featuring Egyptian and Lebanese cuisine is on its way to Belmont, and its name may be familiar to some.
According to their website, Samira's Homemade is planning to open on Belmont Street, apparently doubling as both a retail (takeout) and wholesale spot. The husband and wife who are behind the place have been selling their products (including hummus, stuffed grape leaves, baba gannoush, and tabouli) at farmers' markets in the Boston area, as well as at a number of food purveyors (Russo's in Watertown, Pemberton Farms in Cambridge, City Feed & Supply in Jamaica Plain, South End Formaggio in Boston, etc.).
According to an article in Edible Boston, Samira Hamdoun basically started the business while she was working at Formaggio Kitchen in 2007, as she began to sell her homemade hummus and tabouli at the shop. Soon, Samira and her husband Ragab were wholesaling these and other products throughout the Boston area.
[September 6 update: According to the folks behind the new spot, it appears that Samira's Homemade may be opening on Belmont Street sometime in October. (Check back here for more updates later this month.)]
[November 28 update: According to their website, Samira's Homemade is now open.]
The address for this new spot in Belmont is: Samira's Homemade, 203 Belmont Street, Belmont, MA, 02478. Their website can be found at http://samirashomemade.com/
