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. Guests frequently praise the restaurant for its warm, welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and high-quality dishes like the lamb shank, kefta, and various mezze plates. 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.

We had a wonderful evening at Rumi Restaurant. I was in the habit of going there very often the past twelve years or so (it was my favourite restaurant in Montreal), but the last two times I was there (over six months ago), I noticed a decline in the quality of the food & ambience. This last time, I was delighted to find the old Rumi! Thank you for offering us a unique culinary experience, together with a taste of a traditional Islamic decorative ambience. Absolutely wonderful! The only negative point I can mention from last night was the music: instead of consistent traditional Islamic/Sufi music, there was a mixture with jazz that I found off-putting. The traditional Islamic/Sufi music is MUCH better & well-suited to the ambience Rumi uniquely offers.

Le Rumi demeure un endroit de choix, tant pour la beauté de son décor que pour l'affabilité des serveurs & la grande qualité de ses mets. En bref, on s'y sent bien & on y est bien.

Avec les meze froids & chauds , on peut constituer un repas genre tapas. Cuisine du moyen-orient revisitée.
Belle décoration.
Deux entrées se sont avérées pas assez relevées. La pastilla au poulet était aromatique quoique un peu sèche. Le riz basmati avec raisin & oignons était excellent.
Les deux côtelettes d'agneau (entrée) servies sur une purée de légumes étaient excellentes mais un peu chères 23.$ Pour ce prix, nous aurions pu prendre un repas principal de poulet
Nous avons pris des bières de microbrasserie québécoise excellente.
L'été on peut manger dehors sur la terrasse.
Service rapide & très cordial.

I've been enjoying Rumi Restaurant & its courteous personnel for about a decade. Each time, the special combination of food (tastes & fragrances) & ambience (lighting, music, & decorations) offers an exceptional & delightful treat of a sensory wonder. One is given a genuine taste of the Islamic world under the aegis of the restaurant's patron, the great sage Rumi, which in turn touches something truly universal in the human state. Never disappoints!

J'adooooore ce resto. Le staff est accueillant & sans stress. La bouffe à un cachet qui me fait rêver à de prochains voyages. Le décor & l'ambiance feutrée sont chaleureux & calmant, tellement bien en ces temps, disons, un peu chaotiques. Les bières locales sont dans mes sélections préférées. Les vins sont à découvrir. Seule critique : le pain nan est trop sec, peut-être leur façon de l'apprêter est-elle différente. J'espère y retourner bientôt :)

Très bonne nourriture & excellent service. La salle est très bien décorée, le seul bémol est qu'il y faisait très chaud.
