    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.

    If you haven’t tried Rumi’s kitchen, you are missing out of one the very best dining and food experiences in Atlanta. The flavors were unique, interesting, pleasant, and I’m a serious foodie. Fresh, clean tasting dishes with every course we experienced. Service was impeccable and courteous, truly a first class experience. Cannot recommend more highly!!

    Food and atmosphere were great. Service was excellent. The food did take a little longer to come out than we would have wanted but the bread was enough to hold us over. Also great job on the mocktails!

    The Labneh here is what dreams are made of. I can't think of one thing we've ordered that we haven't liked, the food is delicious. We always have the best date nights at Rumi's. The service is truly exceptional, the staff is kind, courteous, knowledgeable and real normal people who do their jobs very well.

    As always, we loved Rumi’s—excellent food and service. We brought guests from out of town, and they were very impressed. Only downside was the noise level and cold rush every time the door opened to the outside as our table was near. Had asked on our 5:30pm reservation made months ago to be seated in the back for less noise given our guests have hearing aids—and instead were seated in the room near the door that was very loud. Will need to think about going somewhere different with older guests—they really struggled to be able to have any conversation.

    Both food and table service at Rumi's were excellent. The noise level was literally intolerable. It was impossible to hear the couple across the table and any communication required shouting. For a $400 meal for four, the ambience is simply unacceptable. For the restauranteur facing what is now often sadly typical American behavior in public places, however, there are choices. The most obvious is to create quiet rooms and seat the screaming multitudes elsewhere. Sure, it wouldn't make for maximizing dollars per square foot or, if the noise level is actually part of the establishment's business plan, using the cacophony to force people to eat before they lose their hearing in order to flip tables faster. But given the price tag, Rumi's charging people first class prices for last-in-class experience is a rip off. The cuisine in marvelous, the restaurant isn't. If Rumi's is serious about its ratings, the owners need to do something about it.

    We love Rumi's Kitchen. This was our first time at the Colony Square location. While the food and service were amazing, as usual, it was so loud we almost had to shout to hear each other talk. For that reason, I don't think I would return to this location.

    Love Rumi’s! The entire staff is very courteous and thoughtful even when they are busy. We love the mocktails, and love that they have quite a few options for NA beverages. Jordan is one of the best servers in Atlanta, and we eat all over, all the time. He has great menu descriptions and I will try anything he recommends. The Wagyu Kabob is amazing, extremely tender and seasoned. We will be back.
