Review Summary

Rumi is widely celebrated as a charming destination that offers an authentic and flavorful journey through Middle Eastern cuisine in a beautifully decorated setting.

The terrace is often described as a magical, lush space that enhances the dining experience, making it a perfect spot for romantic dates or group celebrations. While experiences are overwhelmingly positive, the restaurant remains a beloved gem in the Mile End, recognized for its generous portions, professional staff, and the vibrant, artistic spirit that defines its unique identity.

This restaurant has a nice, relaxing ambience, friendly service & a very beautiful interior decoration according to its name, the wonderful poet RUMI. The food is delicious, esspecially if you are into mezze, lamb & mouth-watering rice dishes like me! Plates such as MALIK ("king") are served in an eye-catching oriental manner. The mint tea makes a wonderful dessert (& there are more sweet choices if you have a sweet tooth). There was a mixed laid back crowd eating there, I d say perfect for any occasion whether group, families or couples. The only suggestion as it gets colder is to make sure to close the doors as it was getting really chilly in the evening (terrasse was still open & waiters served inside & outside on this September evening).
I warmly recommend RUMI 💖

Beautiful ambiance; flowers & plants on terrace, warm lighting from wall sconces, lamps, colorful rugs & hangings. Wait staff excellent & made recommendations based on our personal tastes. Good array of menu choices for both vegetarians & meat-eaters.

This restaurant was a delight, in every way. Visually, it was beautiful & welcoming both inside & out. We sat outside, surrounded by flowers & greenery. The menu was full of delectable possibilities, but we finally decided on lamb (Fez & Sultan dishes) & were amazed at every delicious bite. Truly, a memorable evening & a must-return-to dining experience.

A beautiful, cozy space with friendly staff & delicious food. Their Dal soup was a true standout, & each of the mezze plates we had were just right. Dessert was decadent & if like mint tea, don't miss theirs.

Every time we visit Montreal from the Untied States we make a point to eat at Rumi. The food is always superb & the wait staff helpful, fun & considerate. We often are at Rumi for either an anniversary of birthday so we have great fondness for the feasting that takes place. Two things stand out beyond the creative & savory menu: they have an extensive wine list that is affordable, &, a well-informed, bilingual staff that have always gone out of their way to help us. It is a physically beautiful eatery, too - not ostentatious - simply elegant in a quiet & hip manner.
