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.
The dining experience at Rumi blends warm ambiance, generous portions, and a rich mosaic of Middle Eastern flavors that many reviewers describe as authentic and inviting. Dishes like mezze and mains are praised for their depth, with several notes on fresh ingredients, thoughtful seasoning, and creative twists that still honor tradition. Service is repeatedly described as attentive and friendly, with a welcoming atmosphere and occasional live music that enhances the mood. The terrace, decor, and overall value receive frequent compliments, making it a favorite for family gatherings, celebrations, and casual dinners alike.
Nourriture excellente & ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande sans faut l'arrêt pour savourer les diverses épices & les mélanges de saveurs à tomber de sa chaise!
Nous avons été bien reçu par un personnel charmant dans une ambiance chaleureuse, le repas était excellent & la note plus que raisonnable.
Une expérience agréable, un brunch du dimanche entre amis que nous avons étiré en prenant tranquillement le thé.

Accueil chaleureux. Ambiance confortable. Service efficace. nourriture excellente, avec attention donnée aux restrictions alimentaires (vegan, sans gluten etc).
Tout bon.
The service was excellent & the ambience relaxed & beautiful. The meze were very good but the Malik was served at room temperature rather than warm. This took a lot away from the dish since who wants to eat cold braised lamb?
Good service & okay food . Have wanted to go for years. Some pleasantly good surprises: butternut squash dish; halloum. But some very big disappointments: grilled chicken on fat touch was tough & over cooked. Lamb main was very salty. Chicken in puff pastry: the pastry was tough. For the price I hope to find a better Iranian restaurant as it is a cuisine I love.
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 💖
It was our first time in the restaurant! We loved the food. We're Moroccans & we really appreciated the mix & diversity of this restaurant. 💗💗 & the ambiance is so lovely & heartwarming! Definitely going back there !!
Wonderful ambiance. The meat & mezzes were very well prepared. The rice was overly seasoned with saffran, & the vegetables were not well spiced (as compared to previous visits to this establishment). Pleasant & courteous server. Thank you for a lovely evening!
C'était ma première visite au restaurant & franchement j'ai adoré! Les plats étaient succulents & savoureux, les ingrédients très frais & la viande Hallal! Je trouvais que les portions étaient très raisonnables ce qui minimise le gaspillage! Le staff est très courtois & attentionné. L'ambiance est tellement relaxante qu'on y reste des heures! La seule chose que je demanderai :)) C'est que les lumières soient un peu plus fortes, on voyait a peine ce qui était servi :)) Sinon j'y retourne c'est sure ! Merci pour la belle soirée & pour vos plats EXCELLENTS.
