Excellent meal and excellent service. We ate and drank way too much, but it was great! I always love my trips to Rumi's!
I dine frequently at Rumis and the foods always phemomenal! The server could’ve been nicer and more efficient but the food was good!
Hostess seemed inexperienced and was not professionally managing people. We had a reservation and had to wait for 25 minutes to get a table. We saw several walk ins getting seated before us. Also, hostess kept forgetting who I was after checking in. I frequent both locations often but this time the experience was totally unacceptable and do not hold the restaurant in high regard.
Way too crowded
The food was delicious (best salmon I’ve ever had) and the service from Saba was awesome! It was a wonderful place to have my birthday dinner.
All dished are perfect and great tasty. Very nice place and food.
Great server (Seth) who explained what Persian cuisine tasted like to a friend who had never been to Rumi’s before. Delicious food!!
Rumi’s is always a dining experience I want to share with visiting friends. It is memorable for them!
Our waitress Nicky was outstanding. She suggested doing a "family style" dinner since we had a party of 6. It was perfect.
They even brought a heater closer to our table as the night cooled down!
Great food! My family and I loved the experience and we would definitely come back! The food and ambience was amazing, and the staff was very helpful with making suggestions.
Food was good, service was extremely slow
Our server Jasmine was great! She explained the menu to us and gave great suggestions. She should be promoted or something!
Always a great experience! Interesting cocktails, excellent food, wonderful serive.
Enjoy the outdoor patio. Very nice this time of year!
Thank you very much for accommodating our large group on the patio! We had a great time celebrating a birthday!
We took our daughter to celebrate her birthday. Cocktails, food, service all exceptional and we look forward to our next visit!
It was delicious!! Love the food! I would recommend this for any special occasion!!
We loved everything about this restaurant! The food and the service was excellent. We can’t wait to go back and try other plates.
rice and salmon were dry. rice had no taste. hummus was excellent
I love Rumi's Kitchen! The food is just incredible. During my last visit, the table ordered the hummus, grilled shrimp, falafel, and wings to start. After snacking on those starters, we shared the lamb kabob and the Chilean Sea Bass entrees. This was plenty of food for four people! My advice is to order conservatively and then order more. It's a lot of food! I continuously say that Rumi's is in my Top 5 restaurants of all time. Definitely recommend.
Great service and the food delicious
Absolutely amazing!!
The Rumi wings were delicious as well as the rack of lamb.
We waited a bit longer than expected but the food is outstanding.
Outstanding as usual. Great service. We love going to Rumi’s to enjoy their delicious food and great ambiance. Our favorite restaurant in Alpharetta.
Great ambiance and we were able to get right in with our reservation. Our waitress was very helpful as well.
Great service and great food!!!
I've never had Persian food and I'm sad it took this long to try it. I was not disappointed. Shrimp kabobs and basmati rice with orange and pistachios were heaven. Hummus was there best I've ever tried. I will return!!
Grilled shrimp and hummus platter paired with two glasses of Chardonnay excellent way to destress
Delicious, great service
They really need to update their menu, they are so complacent on past success.
Reservations was for 6:30 but our table wasn’t ready until 7 pm. We were on time waiting
I came back to Rumi kitchen after one year .. our main server was great but the drinks took a while to come and we ordered scotch and when my dad ordered a refill it was finished . The server that brought the food to the table , found the dishes too heavy and dropped water on us and had just spilled water on the table next to us . The food didn’t taste as good as it used too .
I think they are still getting their act together after covid .
We had a fantastic lunch at Rumi’s Avalon location. We’ll definitely dine there again and highly recommend!
The food is always exceptional at Rumi's. The wait staff is attentive and not a long wait for the food to come out once the order is placed.
My favorite place to eat in Atlanta. Quality food and amazing ambiance. Not to mention the well trained employees who knows about customer service and how to make and amazing dining experience.
This restaurant delivers on all fronts: delicious cuisine, atmosphere, and service! I plan to go back soon!
Love it, food was good. it's a good experience. Good place to go with friend.
Other than the noise that was very elevated, everything was great.
Great meal and experience.
