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.

We had a very pleasant evening on the balcony, as requested. Our server was delightful & added to our enjoyment. The food was very good, including appetizers, mains & desserts. We shared an excellent & reasonably priced bottle of organic wine. Thank you, Rumi!

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.
