Baba's

Rana Kamal and Khalid Ansari are Palestinian-American siblings who recreate their father's family recipes with a modern twist. Their baba, Jamal, humbly brought the authentic flavor of his home city, Jerusalem, to America in the late 1970s. His creamy, bold hummus was created in the kitchen of his restaurant, Mediterranean Cruise Café, in Burnsville, Minnesota, in 1979, when Middle Eastern food was practically nonexistent in the area. It quickly became the restaurant's most-requested dish and remains so four decades later!

Rana and Khalid always knew their father's hummus was special. The love and fierce following their patrons have for their family's smooth, creamy homemade hummus influenced them to package and brand it so they could share it with a wider community. In 2018, the siblings launched Baba's and today offer a variety of hummus flavors, g'noosh, pita puffs, falafel and more, all made to order in their own facility.
