Food was good and excellent service . But we ordered lamb kabab well done but we got pink inside. We didn’t ask for replacement as it takes some time to get the food on the table . But unfortunately some of us in the group could not enjoy the food because they do not eat meat that is not well done.

My go to for Mediterranean style cooking. Don't miss the smoked eggplant or the smoked salmon appetizers. Any kebob is a great kabob and I love their basmati rice. Grab a seat outside for fantastic people watching while you nibble.

The waitress this night wasn’t the best. The food Came out cold. The steak was overdone. You couldnt hear her speak through her mask. It was t the best this time but I’ve eaten here many times and would go back. I think it was just the staff that night. I hope. It’s a favorite.

His recommendations were amazing and made the food and experience even better. One of the best restaurants in both Avalon and downtown Alpharetta!

The host tried to pack us into a smaller table, which was rectified after talking to the GM. And then our server seems totally disinterested and they kept clearing our table while we were barely finished. Please do not rush your customers out. Food met expectations and the patio was lovely.

The food was vastly inconsistent. The lamb was tasty, but over cooked. The rice with raisins felt like someone prepared rice and threw dried fruit on top (should be cooked into the dish). When we inquired about gluten free options the response was confusing and unclear. Overall just a very medium dining experience.

The food was delicious. I enjoyed every second I was there. I ate outside this time due to inside being packed and very loud. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone even though it very “energetic” inside. The team members on staff were exceptional and explained everything and even brought out a few things to test. I am definitely going back.

We love the food at Rumi’s! Always delicious! We decided to give it a go for my daughters birthday lunch this weekend. The hostess was charming, attentive, and polite. However, our table service was extremely disappointing! Jerry was was inattentive and acted annoyed at our presence in the restaurant.

Rumi's has been a family favorite for many years. The food does not disappoint. I have had excellent service from the wait staff and not so good from other wait staff. It is mostly very good. The ladies at the entrance desk could be a bit more gracious and not so militant when asking you to wait until 11:30 AM to come in. Very unwelcoming.

We dined outside and the noise level was perfect. Inside is noisy. The Salmon Kabob was delicious and so large, I brought 1/2 home and enjoyed the next day. He ordered the lamb and it was also delicious. Baklava was some of the best I've tasted. Prices are higher than they should be.

I used to really like Rumi’s at Avalon, but last night the service was just ok and the typically generous-sized portion of salmon was lacking. The young server took my wine glass and I still had a few sips left. This was really annoying since they’ve increased their wine prices and the serving size seemed reduced from previous times.

Hostess were on edge and short with us when we checked in. When we did get seated, we had one of the worst service we’ve ever had at any location. Alyssa was our server. She interrupted me when I was asking for lemons and then never brought the lemons. When she did greet us we were ready to order since we had been there awhile. She took our order then preceded to take the orders of her other tables right after ours. Somehow our food came out last. We waited about 35 for our food to arrive, no steak knife, no straws for my Diet Coke, we had to ask for everything. Overall not what we expected. We frequent the Sandy springs location, never any issues there.

Rumi’s food never disappoints and although some things are a bit different between their locations, I enjoy the consistency in preparation of their dishes. The one downside of the last visit at Avalon was that our main course came less than 10 minutes after receiving our appetizers. We didn’t even have room on the table as we had barely taken a couple of bites from the apps. I truly recommend that waiters wait (pun intended) and know how to pace the meals especially when they insist on getting the entire order upfront. But this one incident won’t stop me from returning to Rumi’s.
