I worked at Umami for a short period and unfortunately had a very negative experience. While the work itself was fine, management was unprofessional and disrespectful. Chef Rehan frequently lost his temper and cursed at staff over the smallest mistakes, treating minimum-wage workers as if they could never make errors. Employees were belittled and insulted, creating a hostile work environment. After posting my honest review, management falsely accused me of scamming and harassing staff — when in reality, I drove a co-worker home daily, got along with other employees, and speaking of scamming I was not paid for the hours I worked. Additionally, my texts with Chef Rehan (attached below ) reflect a condescending and disrespectful attitude, showing that he focuses on breaking employees down rather than supporting or building them up. For these reasons, I would not recommend supporting this place. Management needs to improve how they treat staff and honor their commitments — currently, this is a workplace isn't safe and meant for growth , it's a place to be belittled and destroy your self worth.

The food was delicious. Their salad dressing is my new favorite dressing. The portions were generous, the service polite, quick and friendly, and the prices reasonable. I will definitely go back.
Wonderful food. Friendly owner! Great options for healthy food. I got the Lamb Greek salad. Check them out when you need a sandwich, salad or full dinners.

It was an amazing experience, our service was excellent and food so delicious, the Greek Chicken salad and grape leaves were a delight along with the wraps available. It was an above and beyond service with our order. Highly recommend Umami Global Bistro for Mediterranean cuisine!
