It began long ago…
Arabian Nights Hummus was born in Taos, New Mexico, way back in 1999—the same year Heyam Khweis welcomed her fifth child into the world. Over the next few years (and another kid later!) Heyam’s hummus became a truly authentic Palestinian staple across New Mexico and Colorado.
It took an entire family…
All six of Heyam’s children dutifully worked alongside Mama to produce and package countless Arabic classics over the course of 20 years. Now, with the kids all grown up, Heyam has passed the torch.
As her children, we are bringing Arabian Nights Foods back from its brief hiatus to honor our mother’s legacy and share this timeless comfort with the rest of the world.
To our hummus enthusiasts:
We hope you enjoy Heyam’s Authentic Arabian Nights Hummus as much as the rest of our community back home in the Southwest has.

Why we make hummus
The kitchen has always been the heart of the Khweis family. Whether at our home in Taos, NM or at the nearby community kitchen where we produced Arabian Nights Foods for over 20 years, our family has always bonded over setting tables of delicious food. This stems from our mother, Heyam, who is the epitome of Palestinian hospitality: constantly hosting dinners and potlucks in our home, eager to learn about the cuisines of our small New Mexican town while spreading awareness for the Palestinian cause through her food.
Over time, and as Arabian Nights Foods started flying off the shelves at markets and grocery stores, Heyam became a well-respected culinary icon in Northern New Mexico. She even had a newspaper feature showcasing her recipes (take a peek at the clipping above to meet some of our family!), including traditional Palestinian maqloubeh.
Our mom ensured that us kids would grow up in the food business and do our part to support our family while affirming our heritage as Palestinians in the diaspora. Over the course of 20 years, all six of us–Juju, Majdo, Nadeen, Tareq, Khaled, and Abdul–became well-versed in every step of the production process. Learning to craft hummus, tabbouleh, babaganoush, and other traditional foods by hand became a core part of each of us.
Now that we’re all grown up and spread around the country, we’ve decided to revive Arabian Nights Foods in New York City. As we continue to hand-craft delicious, healthy, and home-spun hummus, we hope you will enjoy gathering around your table to enjoy a taste of our household.
