One of worst experiences! Heard so many great things about this place that I had to try it and I just say was extremely disappointing.Took my mom out for birthday dinner last night and it was not to standard. Our waitress did not ask us about dining there before, didn’t recommend any food, and had the worst attitude. It was like she didn’t want to be there. No smiling at all. Food tasted amazing so that’s the good part. Glassware was not cleaned. We sent back drinks and then new glassware was still dirty that we just left the drink on the table and paid for it. Overall food was good but based on the experience extremely reluctant to go back.

Great meal at Rumi's as usual! It was a perfect night to enjoy the outdoor seating which is a great setup as well. I only eat at Rumi's Avalon location at their outdoor seating as I find the inside way to noisy.

We LOVE the food at Rumi's. Generally, we always order an assortment of dips and then a variety of proteins with different rices so we can taste several. Never make it to dessert because we are stuffed, but the cocktails are exceptional. Glimpse of Paradise is my favorite. We heard the hype about another similar concept opening nearby in Alpharetta and gave it a try. It didn't hold a candle to Rumi's. We'll never go anywhere else for upscale Mediterranean. It's our go-to special occasion spot. Our only wish is that the tables were a bit more spread out so that you can better hear your companions.

Took my mother there for her 92-birthday dinner on the patio. Beautiful experience, as usual. Chris (our server) was the absolute best! He was very attentive and took great care of us. Food is always amazing! My favorite salmon anywhere. I look forward to the next dining experience.

Food and service was incredible. We didn’t order but you only get one kabob stick per order, but the entire kabob is meat, so it’s worth it. Rice was good, but I would try different sides next time.

We had excellent service and food! KAREN is the BEST server. She provides the friendliest service, gives great food and drink recommendations and is sweet to our 6 yr old. We always enjoy having her and know we will have top notch service! As for the food, it is absolutely delicious! The best in Alpharetta! We’ve frequented Rumis quite often in the 5+ years since we’ve moved to Georgia and the food and service is always consistent.
