    This was our second visit to Rumi's Kitchen and it was just as great if not BETTER than the first time. Our server was delightful and so helpful with suggesting new items. The food is the tastiest I have ever had! I tried a "mocktail", the Spritz and Giggles and it was delicious and fun! Of course, I would be remiss not to mention the ambience, its absolutely beautiful, cozy and a real vibe! Looks like Rumi's will be on our radar for a long time.

    Food great, esp the roasted salmon; service good; relaxing ambiance, quiet; beautifully decorated with large plants. Huge front doors hard to open. Large & nicely appointed individual women's bathrooms (2), but needs a little more light. Parking nearby. Will definitely return.

    The lamb on the appetizer menu was perfectly flavored with a nice crisp. It was way better than the lamb chops that more than one person raved about. I ordered it cooked medium, I’d suggest medium well assuming they cook it consistently. Drinks were good. Staff was super.

    You won’t regret coming here! We sat at the bar before dinner and Gil was AMAZING! He gave great drink and appetizer suggestions. Everything was perfect. Not only were the food and drinks out of this word… but the service exceeded our expectations! We sat in the main dining room for our dinner which was nice too. Hard to beat the service and attention to detail Gil provided. 10/10 would eat here again. Booking again for our next visit to Atlanta.

    Always have been a big fan of Rumi's. Lately, it seems they are not hitting the mark as they used to. I have been to all 3 locations within the past 2 months and have noticed the entrees are not as good as they have been and the portion sizes for appetizers have gone down significantly. Still a very nice experience, just not what it used to be.

    The food was amazing and the restaurant is gorgeous! I wish we could’ve sat at an actual table or booth. The table we had was right next to the server’s kiosk and in back rubbing proximity to the table behind. It was uncomfortable having servers reach over my back and it was uncomfortable for the other guest to get in and out of the table. Our server also took our appetizer plates as we were eating the appetizer without asking…he said it was because the main entrees were coming out soon. I thought that was impolite. Outside of the seating arrangements and average service, I was content with my experience.

    The ambiance of warmth and calm was pleasant and welcoming. Jordan was as attentive as could be. He was charming and made my guest whose birthday were celebrating feel extra special. Each course was a unique and delightful blend of flavors. The hummus and appetizer salads were fresh and delicious. The cocktails were potent and tasty. The hazelnut dessert was tasty and not overly sweet. Jordan's service was five stars from start to finish. While the entire experience was immensely enjoyable with respect to the service and cuisine, it was unexpectedly pricey.

    With excellent service and food, Rumi's Colony Square is the perfect place to visit before Alliance Theatre or Atlanta Symphony productions. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we were out the door in plenty of time to make the show. The drinks and wine are a bit pricey but delicious, the hummus outstanding and the Chicken Barg and Salmon dishes excellent and fresh.
