Very unique Middle Eastern cuisine. Delicious dishes from Morocco, Iraq, & Iran. The appetizers are well-chosen & very tasty. The main plates taste are very unique & the whole experience is a must-try with the lighting, decorations, & Music.

I visited Rumi with my partner to celebrate our first anniversary - the decor was mesmerizing however, the food let me down tremendously. As a vegetarian, I ordered the one main that they offered - Khudra. To my surprise, it was a weak broth with boiled vegetables & Jerusalem couscous. It lacked flavour & it was definitely not something that I would expect to eat at restaurant of Rumi's stature. The dish wasn't described on the menu or explained by our server & with Khudra being my only option, I had nothing else to choose from but that. I would expect the restaurant to serve a decent vegetarian main or if Khudra was something that they wanted to incorporate in their menu as it is tradional, have something else that is vegetarian as an option because broth & boiled veggies is not something anyone would expect or like to eat at a restaurant. Rumi should also not label itself as a veggie friendly place because if you have only one vegetarian option in mains, it is not truly an option. It is the only thing that can be ordered. Very disappointed to have spent a special evening here. Spent so much money for food that honestly could've been thrown together at home in 10 mins.

Les repas étaient trop salés lors de nos deux visites dans votre restaurant. Cela dégrade le plaisir gustatif. Cette fois-ci, les entrées que nous avons choisies étaient particulièrement salées.
La nourriture est bonne, cependant nous nous attendions à de la cuisine plus raffinée, correspondant davantage aux prix & au décor.

I had high expectations of this place but they weren't all met
To be fair the service was excellent, we got our order ready in less than 15 minutes & the atmosphere is great, crowded & a bit noisy but still nice
The decorations are cozy

About food:
I ordered the muhammara, it was delicious & on point but 10$ for a very small mini plate & u need to order the bread separate for 3$
I also tried the KHoudra plate it honestly lacked flavor & the veggies was undercooked, this is a main dish but it definitely doesnt fill u up i dont recommend it it was bland
The fatoush was not as it should be, barely one piece of tomato in the whole bowl & it was all lettuce!
Anything on the menu was overpriced it just felt to me like a rip off
My friends went 2 years ago & said 2 cold mezzas were offered with the plate but now u need to buy them separate for 10$ each. Thats a disappointment.
