Rumi's Kitchen

One of the best experiences dining out that I've had in a long time! From the moment we checked in for our reservation all the way to dessert, everything was perfection from service, quality, and taste! Shoutout to our server, Daisy, who was absolutely incredible and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, the table was cleared and cleaned between courses, and she explained all do the dishes in detail. We started with the watermelon salad and the green tahini hummus and they were both 10/10. The watermelon salad was beyond fresh and came with crushed cucumber, charred shallot, goat feta cheese, herbs, jalapeno feta creme, and a lemon-tarragon vinaigrette. The hummus was also so fresh and came with house-made pita for dipping. For my main dish, I went with the chicken kabob and it was cooked to perfection - citrus & saffron brined served with a saffron basmati rice. We also shared the grilled vegetables with pineapple, squash, zucchini and mushroom. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate hazelnut torte and it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Sweet, nutty, and the perfect portion to end the night. The restaurant offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the aesthetic is just gorgeous from top to bottom. Highly recommend Rumi's next time you are looking for fantastic Persian cuisine!

Food - delicious and savory, wish they gave more meat portions Service - our waiter kept spilling water every time he would refill our drinks cause he held it in a weird way. It made me feel very uneasy that it would slip from his hands and cause a big mess. Ambiance - beautiful interior, felt very lively and grand

I love coming to Rumi's Kitchen as their dishes are quality made and very fresh. The server Yoni was amazing and explained everything and gave recommendations. We got mezze dish as we were waiting for food and he explained how to eat the mezze on the bread which was really nice. I had ordered Tehran Mule, Sharbaat and Veggie Kabob with Bhagali Polo. Friends ordered Chicken Kabob and Chicken Barg and all dishes were divine. I couldn't stop eating them and I found my favorite drink: Tehran Mule which is made up Saffron, ginger, vodka and mint. The yellow in Bhagali Polo rice didn't taste like saffron was put in but colored with turmeric.For my friend's bday, we got baklava and persian ice cream which was delicious. My favorite was persian rice which had hints of cardamom!The only downside about this place is how loud it is so you can't hold a conversation.

Food - Service - Ambience ... Exceptional!Portions of food are enormous and absolutely delicious!

Amazing dining experience for my friend's birthday.We had a table of 9 and did a family style order of some different kabobs, cauliflower, and rice. My favorite was the lamb shank and look forward to trying that again. For my friend's bday they brought out 3 desserts including the chocolate torte, white chocolate cardamom cake, and baklava. That was easily the best baklava I've ever had. While everything was fantastic, I think my favorite part of the dinner was the service. Our glasses were kept filled with water constantly and the table was cleared and cleaned between courses. The food came out in a timely manner and our sever Robert was very attentive and present. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I will start by saying I'm always one who says I'm not a big fan of Persian or Mediterranean cuisines, but this place may have changed my mind! Came in for lunch and had a great experience. We made reservations and were immediately seated. Even during the day, the ambiance was very open and had an upscale feel with the decor and open kitchen. They also have a super cute patio area outside if it's not too hot. Our waiter, Tyler?, was very personable and able to answer any questions about the menu since it was my first time in. For an appetizer, we had the grilled shrimp and split it between us. Though it only came with 2, it was enough to satisfy us until our food came. They were huge and chargrilled to perfection with a good season. The chicken barg was delicious! Mine was tender and flavorful. I'm usually a person that needs a bunch of sauces, especially for my proteins, but this was able to stand all on its own. My other guest said their chicken was drier than usual and the manager came and fixed it promptly with a new piece of chicken cooked how she liked it. Our waiter was kind enough to box our food for us. Looking at the menu, the prices are a little bit higher than casual dining but the portions are huge. That was enough for me to eat both lunch and dinner. I can't wait to come back 10/10

I've been here a few times, but this past time the service was chaotic, cold, and inattentive at best. We were seated on the patio on a very busy night. Drinks and appetizers took 30+ minutes to come out, and tables around us with another server were getting served before us despite being seated after. Our server got our order wrong and they brought us additional hummus plates. Despite us saying we didn't order them, they told us to just keep them but then they still ended up charging us for them in the end. We barely saw our server so we didn't even bother trying to get it corrected. We were there for 2+ hours in total. Roasted Mushroom Hummus was a nice way to start out the meal, and we were able to get cucumbers + tomatoes to enjoy it for those GF at our table. Falafel was served on more hummus and some beautiful pickled veggies. In addition to the plates pictured, we had the Chicken Joojeh and Shrimp Kabob. Chicken - OK, a bit more bland/dry than the last time I dined here. Shrimp - EXCELLENT, best part of the meal. Overall, the food is good, but I will never choose to come here over other popular local restaurants with similar menus that provide an overall better experience.

I had the BEST afternoon catching up with friends here. We just missed the rush but the dining room was still packed. Sitting outside didn't seem ideal but turned out to be the best decision. Our server didn't mind pulling 4 tables together for us. Its been a years since visiting this Rumi's but the vibe was still right. The Persian Sunset was calling to me and I had to answer that call. I love ginger and this cocktail was the best choice for me. It had been some time since seeing everyone and we had so much to talk about. Our server was most attentive to us and our tedious details. I didn't want anything heavy so the hummus sounded great. I'm so glad I got it! It was fresh and the falafel was the BEST I've EVER had. Kudos Rumi's for a great day with my people from across the pond. I will most definitely be back soon!!! #ashsaidit

Food was soo delicious! I will be back sooner rather than later. Service was great and waitress was knowledgeable.

Rumi's is an old hometown favorite, but recently I have to keep it real. I've gone in with high expectations and reminiscing eating there when I was younger, but the food has just been bland recently. The atmosphere is still just as bustling, but the spices are lacking and the service is very chaotic. The servers are still great and attentive but almost felt like they were rushing us out, and every little thing had a surcharge, which if they had told us about beforehand, we would've passed on. That being said, the food is still pretty decent if you aren't looking for anything spicy. They definitely cater to ALL allergies and food preferences which I love. My go to is always the Chicken Barg and Fava Bean and Dill Rice!
