   Best Persian cuisine in the U.S. with great service. The only complaint is their awkward seating assignments not being able to accommodate seating preferences by the hostess even with reservations.

   Food was great. Service was great. Our waiter was great. He was professional and very nice attitude. The value is a little issue though. More expensive than most of other persian restaurants. Overall experience was good.

   Richard was our server- he was fantastic! It was my cousin’s birthday and he made it very special. The owner of the restaurant was there - great to see hands-on management! Best restaurant in town!

   Wonderful service, our server answered any and all questions, made suggestions that were spot-on, and the food is terrific. We sat outside on a lovely evening (and it's a lot quieter than inside) and didn't feel rushed on a busy Friday night.

   Be sure to visit Rumi’s when you’re hungry! You’re definitely going to want to try appetizers, an entree and dessert! My group ordered the stuffed grape leaves, hummus w/lamb and the cauliflower to start. I normally don’t like cauliflower but I could have eaten this dish as an entree- it was spectacular. They were also the best dolma I’ve ever had! I had the lamb shish kebab, which was cooked to perfection and the rice was fantastic. We also ordered the hanger steak. For dessert we had albaloo as well as the baklava. If you’re a fan of cocktails, be sure to try one - they were spectacular!
