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.

Solid restaurant with middle-eastern flair & a twist on some classics. The lentil soup was a favourite.

Food is great. Service even better. Great mix of middle eastern cuisines. Fresh ingredients & a big selection. On Fridays there are often live musicians !

I had a wonderful experience at Rumi. The dishes are full of flavor, beautifully presented, & the staff was incredibly kind & attentive throughout the meal.
I highly recommend starting with the appetizers - they're absolutely delicious! The hummus & flatbread were especially fresh & flavorful.
The ambiance is warm & inviting, with a charming decor that adds to the overall experience. If you're looking for a unique & satisfying meal with Middle Eastern influences, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back!

I came here for my birthday.
The staff is very nice & friendly.
I liked the mixed countries of this food.
I am picky when it comes to middle eastern food since I am one & theirs was delicious.
They make great Lebanese Iranian food.
I loved the fez which is lamb.
My friends loved the kafta karaz & djaj meshwi.
We had many appetizers such as babaghnouj
homous batata calamari merkez with naan bread.
I jad a small pot or Moroccan tea & a glass of Iranian tea. Those are great.
I wish they had the pita bread & kibbeh with meat.
Must visit place

This place was initially known to be a very good & charming middle eastern restaurants in Montreal. But nowadays is actually a very low quality & very much expensive for what you get. Very disappointing to see how they lost their initial reputation

The food has always been good, but we noticed that the size of the portions has gotten smaller whilst the prices have gone up, & the presentation of the plates used to be in lovely middle eastern plates with covers, whereas now they are in simple smaller plates.

It's middle Eastern fusion cuisine & not Persian as it's described in their Google profile. Nevertheless, I liked my dish. It was pretty tasty.

I'm a former cook so more critical than most about food — & I thought the food was really good. Middle Eastern & Moroccan with North American touches — creative, fusion-y, light, plenty of vegetables. The mezze with butternut squash & the Haloumi Rumi were especially tasty — & I suspect my dinner companions would name other dishes. No complaints about the service. Slightly bohemian urban space that worked perfectly for me & my friends.
