It was one of the best kabobs I had ever tried! The food is delicious and it's a memorable experience. All of the staff are lovely! A must-try!
We are Iranian and we know what very good Persian food tastes. Rumin knocks is a home run.
The food was great and the service excellent. Will definitively go back. It is quite noisy on weekends when the restaurant is full but that is OK.
Food is awesome and service is the best in the city. The prices seem to have gone up. But you do get a very healthy portion, as always. The cooking is exemplary. We love Rumi's!!
I wouldn't go here on a Saturday night for a quiet date night, it's very loud and frenetic, but they have phenomenal food and service. I'll be back soon.
Delicious food as always, but server seemed distracted and there were multiple large parties of loud, obnoxious folks that made it less enjoyable than usual.
We booked a reservation at the recommendation of a friend who lives in DC, and we are so glad we tried this amazing restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! Our server was very helpful and provided excellent insight about items on the menu. We really enjoyed our meal and wish we lived closer so that we could eat at Rumi's more often!
The food was amazing! The service was great. We never felt rushed and our server tried to meet all our requests. Looking forward to coming back!
Impeccable service and the most delicious innovative food and cocktails! My out of town guest absolutely loved it as well.
Awesome food and good service - not too much, not too little. We enjoyed the conversation as well as drink.

We absolutely LOVED Rumi's!.Our waiter, Farhad, was truly amazing! His service, knowledge, great smile, and exceptional service made our night very special. The food was out of this world, and the ambience was really lovely. We will definitely go back to Rumi's on a regular basis. 
What a fantastic restaurant, food was amazing, service impeccable and the atmosphere wonderful too. Really recommend this restaurant and they have one in Atlanta too, which was equally as good.
Expertly prepared Persian food for lunch and very attentive service. I will definitely return.
Food was not tasty at all. Overpriced for what we got. Meats were bland. Chicken and lamb kebabs were chewy and not tender. Will likely not go back again.
Rumi's is always a delightful experience! The food is absolutely phenomenal, with generous, shareable portions that make it perfect for group dining. The fresh, warm bread is a staple—soft, fragrant, and impossible to resist. Every appetizer is bursting with flavor, beautifully prepared, and sets the tone for an exceptional meal. Everything on the menu is delicious, but my personal favorites are the Chilean sea bass and the lamb chops—both are cooked to perfection, tender, and full of rich, savory flavor. From start to finish, Rumi's never disappoints—it's consistently delicious and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic, flavorful cuisine and warm hospitality.
