    We were a little disappointed about our experience at Rumi. We made a reservation for dinner, but were given a table right at the entrance of the restaurant where diners were waiting to be seated, while diners without reservations were taken to tables inside the restaurant where the dining experience would have been more pleasant. My husband ordered chicken dish, which was delicious, but my dish, a beef stew, was not of the standard I expected, and left me bloated and with cramps, and feeling unwell and with gastro symptoms during the night. Our service was excellent and the ambience of the restaurant could have been great if we had been given a table that allowed for a pleasant dining experience.

    Food was solid. We split the kebab plate for 2 which was more than enough food. The mushroom and steak kebabs were okay but the chicken and kefta were outstanding. The only downsides are we saw our server only 3 times, order, check in and bill and the seats in the front of the restaurant you’re sitting right next to another group of 2 or 4.
