    This dinner was to celebrate my birthday. Our reservation was for 7:00 and we had to stand and wait for 10 minutes to be seated even though there were empty tables. Parties that arrived after us got seated before us. Not a good impression since I was hosting people from out of town.

    What a special night at Rumi’s to celebrate my mama’s 77th birthday! Our waitress Nilcey was a delight and treated us like queens, easily accommodating our gluten-free needs and bringing mama a complementary dessert. We will be back for many more special occasions! Thank you, Rumi’s!!

    Probably the most horrible restaurant experience since Covid. Loud to a painful fault. Obnoxious music … “thump thump thump” …. Badly organized wait, serve, attention to detail coordination …, some food ok, but not exceptional, some was just awful … overcooked, badly designed and poorly presented. Regardless of reputation this place is bad, and deserves to be reviewed by people who care about good food experiences.

    We had a wonderful dinign experience. Rumi's is a great addition to our neighborhood. I have celiac disease and the server did an excellent job helping us to safely navigate the menu. Fantastic food in ample portions with great service make this one of the best stops in Midtown. We are so thankful to have it as one of our walkable dinner options.

    Mom’Day celebration so it was quite busy and somewhat noisy - no problems though. Our respective entrees were both superb. We both took leftovers home. We were disappointed with our appetizers (eggplant was very mushy) as well as our desserts. Our server was fantastic; definitely knows how to converse with people and was very professional. We will be returning.

    Decided to make reservations at Rumi's for Mother's Day dinner, after hearing a few colleagues rave about the new location in Colony Square. We parked in the parking garage and was able to have our parking ticket validated at the restaurant. The staff were extremely kind. There were multiple people who greeted us upon being seated. Our waitress was amazing. She was very knowledgeable of the dinner and drink menu. We started off with the mushroom hummus, it was sooo good and savory. My spouse and I shared the lamb rack; they we're marinated and seasoned to perfection. I'm also glad we decided to split the entree because it was so much food! My mother ordered the salmon and we added on the crispy potatoes and grilled veggies. I pretty much enjoyed every item on the table. Overall great experience, beautiful ambiance, with amazing Persian food. I look forward to dining again. 10/10

    We joined them for Mother's Day lunch and the experience was, by far, the single best holiday dining experience ever! On arguably the busiest lunch of the year, the staff was flawlessly attentive, impeccably pleasant, and completely in sync as a team! Luisean (our server) was amazing ... ask for him! Claudia (GM) was an absolute joy!

    So happy we found Rumi’s! I am gluten free and dairy free. Francisco was amazing as he navigated the menu to for my needs. Everything was delicious! Lamb hummus (had cucumber and tomatoes instead of bread) date salad, wagyu kebab, and I got to have dessert!! Chocolate pomegranate vegan gelato! I don’t know how they did it, but it was decadent.

    I just love, love, love Rumi’s. The food and service are always spot-on. The only issue I have is that the place is so loud. You can barely carry on a conversation with your table mates. I really wish they could do something to quieten down the atmosphere a notch…or three.

    Rumi's is consistently delicious and always worth visiting, regardless of which location! This was a first-time visit for the majority of those dining with me but, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selection. The server didn't provide the same level of service past visits have afforded but, perhaps it just wasn't her day. The delicious meals could distract from the the disappointing service.
