Rumi's Oasis

12/4/24-Popped in to see if I could find some goodies--- I did a review a while back but didn't see it..Sure did find some goodies!!Actually, a customer before me- was asking for an item, but they were out.Music to my ears " we have the Dubai chocolate"... what??? I've been wanting to try this for quite some time.. I bought four Dubai chocolates-, a slice of pistachio cake- and some kind of bread pastry with dates...Update: the pistachio cake was dry- per both son's..Price was$11.00..Oh my! Tastes like a milk chocolate with a crispy wafer..What's nice is they make all the items..Hoping t up go back tomorrow before heading home..

Since opening a few years ago, I have gone in a few times. Service is consistently a miss, the staff is not confident in the answers they give. The fix is training and that would most likely require the owner to be accountable themselves. Consistency is important, this particular time I went in for a Dubai donut at 9am and they did not have it, also stated the lady that makes them is not there yet and might be available at 11am. I can't work with a might ! I am also not willing to drive back. The store is clean and stocked pretty well. I am over this store and the not good customer service and items missing from the menu almost every visit. I believe my review is echoed by many other Yelpers. If you go, don't be surprised if you experience the same issues.

Hello everyone,Two days ago, I drove two hours from the Bay Area to purchase 21 lbs of fresh cow meat from this restaurant. I had called ahead, and they confirmed they had it in stock.However, when I arrived and asked for the 21 lbs of cow meat, the worker cut the meat other side of the table and started providing unclear and unhelpful responses. After much back and forth, I was given just 21 LB of meat, which was mostly bone. I was extremely disappointed with the poor customer service and the misleading experience.I would not recommend this place to anyone. It's a waste of time, and the owner's attitude was unprofessional. Do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant.

This place is a joke. I waited over 25 min for a bolani. Food was good but the waiting, bad communication, and customer service have frustrated me a lot. The servers have no idea how to prioritize tasks, really bad communication and customer service. They don't know how to run a business. I am pretty sure they will close down very soon.

First time here and ordering food. The food was amazing. I finally got the dubai chocolate pistachio here and they charged $11.32 for it. It was as big as a m&m pack or smaller, based on eye measurement. I'm not sure how much it cost elsewhere, but its not worth it for me here. The desserts were good. The service was direct, not much smiles or welcoming demeanor, they just helped when asked.

Nice ambience for a midday dessert or meal on the go. The place is a middle eastern grocery with an oasis-like feel. You can have a piece of a sweet treat such as baklava or chocolate cake while out shopping. The tables area is quite pleasant for enjoying with a friend or a book. This is quite a decorating/furnishing accomplishment in what would be an unremarkable strip mall space. (They definitely made it "more.")It's nice that this is local. Elk Grove getting cool places like this is a good sign. I needn't have to go to Midtown Sac for nice spots like this.

Rumi's Oasis is a beautiful middle eastern shop located in the same plaza as Daiso, Happy Lemon, and Trader Joe's. You can smell the combination of warm spices just outside the door and it's very welcoming and enticing.My sister and I went to go try their viral dubai chocolate bars that they make in house. After searching long and far to find this bar everywhere in Elk Grove, we were able to find it with the helpful guidance of the staff at the front of the store.They are located at the back of the store with the pastries. There are two options: milk and dark chocolate. As a milk chocoholic, I knew I had to try the milk. For about $8, you get a pretty small bar, but I guess that's just how business is nowadays. The chocolate was great, but I felt like something in there tasted off. I think the thin packaging absorbed the other tastes and smells from the other desserts in the case. I would recommend the owners to consider a more seal proof packaging to maintain the flavors.I knocked down 2 stars specifically for the price/size and thin packaging affecting the taste. Trying the chocolate bar here was great to see what the hype was about without going too far from home!

Didn't even realize Rumi's was located here. Wow is it good. I only ordered chicken Sambosa's since it was an unexpected stop. But they are great.They had some baked goods. While I was there they were preparing party platters of chicken, bread, roasted vegetables and kabob. They had lots of snack items. The service was great. The you g man greeted me and as I was there many other customers came in and were quickly greeted. There was a gentleman cleaning the meat/butcher area. There was no meat. I asked why there was no meat. He said today is cleaning day. Well that is good to hear that a halal butcher takes days off to clean. Nice little bakery cafe. Locally owned and operated is the best businesses to patronize. When it is time for a meal or a quick snack. You are better off finding a local business and getting real food. Glad I found this hidden gem right in our neighborhood. Great middle eastern food that I can't make at home. I am looking forward to trying the Mantu.

I wanted to love this so bad. I've had other Dubai chocolates and the pistachio cream is delicious BUT this one taste like pure tahini. Super disappointed and is was so tiny for $8.99. They said it's cuz of the pistachio cream is expensive but it didn't taste like it at all. I was just getting tahini :( the chocolate was not tempered either so it was soggy even after taking it out the fridge.

Good, clean place. Love going here although it can be pricey. Desserts, food, and nice ambience...Sometimes a long wait... Call ahead of time and that should solve your problem.
