Rumi Middle Eastern Grill

I decided to stop at this place during the Wicker Fest and I’m so glad I did it. I had the gyro wrap and a side of hummus, and it was amazingly delicious! Fresh and tasty!
Great service with special kudos to Moe, who was very kind and friendly!
100% recommend!

Easily one of the best middle eastern restaurants in the city.

Five stars for the food and the service.

Dining in, take out or catering (tried all, numerous times) - Rumi never disappoints.

We were visiting chicago and tried Rumi and enjoyed it a lot! They have a pretty wide variety menu with decent prices! We got some poutine and then also a plate and they were both super enjoyable. I would definitely recommend and would definitely try again! I just wished my poutine had a bit more vegetables with it to make it easier to finish!

This is the last chance I gave this store. DO NOT ORDER online. They will either give you whatever they have left or you will receive your order after 2 hrs

I stopped by Rumi Middle Eastern Grill in Wicker Park because I was hungry and craving something healthy. Right from the start, the experience was inviting—two young men were outside handing out falafel samples. I’m usually not a fan of falafel, but theirs was so tasty it actually surprised me!
Inside, I ordered the steak shawarma plate. The food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying—exactly what I was hoping for. The steak was perfectly seasoned and the sides complemented the dish well. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite.
Service here is just as impressive as the food. The gentleman who took my order was respectful, patient, and had a genuinely friendly vibe that made me feel welcome. It’s clear that customer service is a priority at Rumi.

If you’re in the neighborhood and looking for delicious, healthy Middle Eastern food with great service, I highly recommend giving Rumi a try!

These guys are amazing. When you walk in, you wouldn’t assume that this was local and it feels like a big franchise, Professional, they have their processes down. The food is outstanding to the falafel to die for. If you like middle eastern food, MUST TRY
