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!

Impeccable service and the most delicious innovative food and cocktails! My out of town guest absolutely loved it as well.

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.

Rumi's is always fantastic! Their service is attentive without being intrusive, food is excellent—the dishes balance being interesting with being delicious and comforting, cocktails are fun and exotic, atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Extra points for going above and beyond for gluten-free guests! Can I give them 6 stars?

Worst service. Server was not at all knowledgeable as to which menu items are gluten free appropriate. Timing of the meal was also poor as some drinks we waited too long for while food was plopped on the table.

John

We were not allowed to be seated early, then waited 20 mins past our reservation time to be seated. That was the only negative. The service and food were excellent.

Shankar

Great experience. One of the best Persian meals we have eaten. Our server was great and made some great recommendations. We will be back again

Where do I start. The food is a 10/10 each time. Employees are so nice and visibly passionate about you having a great time. Interior is very sleek, cozy, romantic, and premium. Classic date spot for my partner and I.

PS I recommend trying the Albaloo rice but request no cherries in it, just cherry juice. Tastes very good
