   Everything about Rumi was amazing. Great server who was proud of the food. Excellent cocktails. Sat on the covered patio which was fine but the inside looked much better. Everything we ordered was fantastic and the kabobs stole the show.

   Rumi’s really was an amazing dining experience! Everything we ordered was so delicious and it was a special evening all around! Highly recommend the yogurt duo, lamb kabob, and the shrimp kabob!

   Impeccable service. Divine food. The hostess warned us of a two hour dining limit. She didnt warn the 4 seated next to us. If I'm dining and spending money I hope I will be allowed to complete my dining experience.

   This is my 4th time eating at a Rumi restaurant. I’ve been to the one in Atlanta a few times and that one is great. This was my second time at the DC location. Normally this location is bustling, but this last time it only had a few other customers so I thought that my service would be quick. Rather, the service was slower than ever. The food was good, but the presentation could be a bit better.

    Went for a work dinner with other colleagues that were vegetarian, so we ended up ordering a bunch of appetizers. We were happy with the selection and the flavors were just really yummy. The waiter and other staff who served were very nice and the location was big but not too loud. Really enjoyed ourselves.

    Food is outstanding. Great cocktails. It was fairly busy on Monday at 730 but service was good. Outdoor seating is a nice ambience. Value for the quality of the food is quite reasonable; chicken and lamb kabobs were cooked flawlessly (requested medium rare lamb). Salad and rice dishes also excellent.

    We had a very nice Mothers Day dinner at Rumi's Kitchen in DC. We were seated immediately upon arrival and our table was ready. The service was exemplary and attentive. The choice of food is authentic. The menu could provide more vegetarian selections, especially in the Entree section, especially since one member in our party was vegetarian. A lot of the dishes were primarily kabobs served on a plate of rice, so a bit more innovation would be helpful. The restaurant is a bit noisy inside but since we were seated on the patio, the noise level was moderate. The lighting and ambience was intimate. Overall, a great experience for a special night out.

    My family and I visited Rumi’s Kitchen on Mother’s Day! Gabriella was very generous and patient with us and all her recommendations were great. It was kind of her to have allowed us to taste the wine before we purchased it and she checked on us a few times to make sure we were satisfied and our water cups were full. The food and service was a true 10/10. I will come back for their lamb any day!

    Loved, loved, loved Rumi's!! Literally the best kabobs I have ever had, and I have had a lot of kabobs in my time. Started off great with the hummus topped with lamb sausage. The lamb sausage was moist, succulent and very flavorful. An absolute home-run. The entree's were also perfectly cooked with moist, flavorful kabobs that melted in your mouth (tried the lamb, chicken barg and beef soltani). The only minor disappointment was the falooda. It was not at all like the falooda I am used to in Pakistani/Indian restaurants. Rumi's falooda was more like a sorbet. Wasn't a fan. The baklava was quite good. Should mention that our server (Gabrielle?) was excellent. It was a busy Mother's Day but she was attentive, friendly and made useful recommendations. Overall a great experience. Well-done Rumi's!!

    Rumi’s comes through again! Even on a packed day for Mother’s Day, service was great. Especially our server Gabrielle. She went above and beyond to make our a large group of seven feel welcome, always got ahead of any needs we had and absolutely made the event special for the two moms in our group. Thank you Gabrielle! Also we have grown quite fond of the bartender Jorge, always a great guy, drops by our table to say hello and greeted everybody. Really feels like a family restaurant with amazing hospitality. Obviously the food is top-notch! And great recommendation on the cardamom cake, Gabrielle! So good.

    Rumi's had the best grilled cornish hen ever. The waitress assured me she'd talk to the cooks and she must have as the meat was tender and succulent. A job well done! I wished there had been more light but the ambience was pleasant and our waitress superbly friendly. I'd recommend Iranian food any day.

    Food was mostly great. The shrimp appetizer and falafel were great. My date ordered the lamb entree. Although he asked that it be prepared medium well is so fully pink and very fleshy. He was unable to eat it. The restaurant offered to take the picked over lamb back to the kitchen to regrill his half eaten meat. That suggestion was gross and surprising. Of course he declined their offer.
