From a press release:

“The team behind DGS Delicatessen is opening Little Sesame on the lower level of its flagship location in Dupont Circle in January 2016.

Little Sesame is a modern hummus shop, bringing together high-quality authentic hummus with original seasonal toppings. The Little Sesame team has spent the past year refining its hummus, which uses organic chickpeas from Timeless Seeds in Montana and tahini imported from Israel.

Co-owner Nick Wiseman brought in his old friend Ronen Tenne to launch the project. Ronen and Nick met cooking under chef Michael White at Michelin two-star restaurant Alto in New York City. Born in Israel, Ronen learned to make hummus in his family’s kitchen and grew up eating at hummus shops like Little Sesame throughout his childhood.

The restaurant is being designed by Edit Lab at Streetsense and features whitewashed brick, brass string lights, and an eye-catching basket weave linoleum floor.

Little Sesame will serve fast, affordable and healthy composed lunches including the seasonally changing hummus bowls alongside a green salad with sumac and honey dressing and warm pita. The meal will cost between $8-12, depending on toppings, and is available Monday-Friday between 11:30 and 3:00pm.

DGS, the 2015 RAMMY award winner for Best Everyday Casual Restaurant in the Metro Area, will continue to offer its signature menu at all services, on the first floor and mezzanine of the restaurant.”
