About us

Restaurant Rumi offers you a culinary experience of the Silk Road that once crossed Central Asia and the Middle East. A route that linked cities, oases and markets... great traditions, formidable kingdoms.

The Silk Road was also the route of spices, generous in fragrance and flavor. We invite you to be inspired by the spirit of the travelers, merchants and pilgrims who, for centuries, exchanged goods, riches and important cultural elements.
A spirit of discovery and openness.

We aim to create a hospitable atmosphere conducive to meaningful encounters. A setting in which to take the time to restore oneself in the sense of regaining strength and meaning.

As far as possible, our cuisine favors local, organic and sustainable agriculture. All the meat we serve is halal.

We give priority to fresh, local produce.

Review Summary

Rumi is described as a warm, inviting spot with beautiful décor and a Middle Eastern vibe, where generous portions, flavorful mezze and main courses, and fresh ingredients meet attentive, friendly service. The atmosphere is cozy and often lively, sometimes enhanced by live music and a charming terrace garden, making it suitable for intimate dinners as well as groups and celebrations. Guests repeatedly note excellent service, accommodating staff, and good value for the quality, with dishes ranging from hummus and halloumi to lamb shank and merguez highlighted as standouts. The tea service, desserts, and overall balance of sweetness and spice add distinctive touches, and the space feels welcoming to families and friends alike. Overall, Rumi emerges as a reliable go-to for diverse flavors, a festive yet comfortable ambience, and a dining experience that invites return visits.

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 💖

Service courtois. Nourriture toujours aussi bonne. La carte a été réduite & plusieurs desserts n'étaient plus disponibles un vendredi à 20h.

This is one of my favourite restaurant in the city. I often crave a good tajine & this is a great place for it.
Had yet again an amazing dinner, with a small hiccup where my dish (Loubia) wasn't as tasty, upon telling the waiter- not only did they apologized but they also check with the chef & apparently there really was missing a few ingredients in my dish. The restaurant decided to offer dessert & tea on the house. This is GREAT service!! I tremendously appreciate that our waiter checked with the kitchen & was honest enough to tell me the outcome of his conversation.
I truly love this restaurant- outstanding food & phenomenal service.
A must in the city, I always bring my out of town friends there & every time they are blown away.
Thank you again for a great night.

La nourriture est si bonne chez Rumi que cela vaudrait la peine d'offrir un bon choix de vins au verre comme en bouteille. Les vins au verre sont plus souvent qu'autrement assez décevants. Tandis que la nourriture, de l'entrée au dessert, est parfaite !!! Pour la nourriture exclusivement, c'est sans hésitation 5 étoiles.

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.
