Hemo's Spot Hamtramck — Restaurant in Hamtramck

It's just a bean sandwich, you say? No matter what mastery one achieves, certainly the dish itself is limited by the fact that its made simply of...beans. And bread. Peasant food. It doesn't even have a designated meal time in the old country. It is not a lunch food. It is a breakfast OR dinner food.

This is the best bean sandwich I have ever had, and I am a beans snob. Roam the earth as I may, I have NEVER found really satisfying foul or fasoouliya (beans) in restaurants. I've rarely had dissapointing foul in someone's home, however.

It is a dish made proabably most days a week in most Yemeni homes. The home chefs know what they're doing. I have long wondered at the disparity between home and restaurant beans. Why was it so hard to recreate good beans away from the home? It SEEMS like the kind of food that lends itself towards being reproduced at volume, unlike, say, haneeth.

Imagine my surprise when I entered this little juice and smoothie bar I've passed a million times in Hamtramck to see they had a little sandwich menu.

FOLKS, this is dry fassouliya sandwich, not wet. It is perfection. The cumin, the spice, the texture. It is warm. The flavors meld together like they've been marinating together overnight. The bread is just right. I'm out of town now and still dreaming about it. Don't sleep on this sandwich.

I've been meaning to try the others but I find myself ordering this one...

The food was great (specially the crazy sandwich and the minced meat sandwich). The service was great, the worker and I were talking like we knew each other for a long time 😂. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars because it's not a big place that u wanna go out with more than 5 people. Over all I give them 95/100....

Stumbled upon this place unexpectedly and what a delicious surprise! They use fresh fruit and have many options to pick from. I have only tried smoothies so far and yummo, not a bad one yet! Love that they are open late too! 10/10 would definitely recommend trying out Hemo's Spot for your...
