    We were party of 7 and we all enjoyed the appetizers and main course. The prices are a bit high and the settings is compact. The food qualities very good and in good portion. Our server was very patient and kind.

    Our reservation was at 9:30pm. We waited almost 30 min to get our table. The place is over booked and over crowded but the food was really good. A must try place… but expect to wait.

    What a wonderful experience! We are in DC to visit family and we organized a dinner at Rumi’s Kitchen to celebrate our being together again. The food was delicious and plentiful. The waiters were very helpful with recommendations and descriptions of each dish. The service was attentive and made one feel very welcome. ..all within a lovely dining area! What more can one ask for?

    Really delicious Persian food. Try the Goromeh Sabzi and/or the Fessenjoon for something different than kabobs but those are very good here too.

    Best Persian food we’ve had outside Iran. My Persian parents are very hard to please and always find something wrong with someone else’s cooking BUT they couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the barg kabob and jooje kabob are here. Quality ingredients with perfect amount of seasoning and flavor!! Oh and the albaloo polo was out of this world. And nothing like delicious faloode and Persian ice cream sandwich to finish a beautiful meal. We made reservations to come back again during our 3 days stay in DC.

    Our server was really engaging with the recommendations which was nice. I loved all of the skewers and the rice sides. The rice with the sweet fruit peel was outstanding. We did have 4+ rices on the table which was a bit much but all very good. Thank you for the very nice birthday dinner. I will be back!

    Despite the Washington Post's acclaim we were not much impressed with Rumi's. They are trying to do "Persian" food in a refined atmosphere, with prices that reflect that aspiration. The food was all good, but not better or more interesting than we've had at other restaurants in the area (including the Moby Dick local chain) at 1/3 the cost. We liked Kashk Bedanjoon and the mushroom hummus (though mostly for the shrooms). The Gormeh Sabzi is a good value if you like this dish. But we did not order fish because the prices are just not sensible. Service was pleasant but rather slow, the atmosphere and presentation are nice. There's a bit of "Emporer's New Clothes" going on here; using trappings to make diners think they are getting more than they really are. Many of these dishes are very inexpensive to make and great versions can be had in the area for a lot less.
