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.
Wha an amazing discovery! This place is a little hidden gem, full of good juju & amazing flavours! Lamb kafta, mixed rice & djaj meshwy were incredible. The meat
literally melted in the mouth & the rice was cooked to perfection & paired amazingly with almonds & raisins. Mint tea was authentic & beautifully served. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We love this place, it's on our'short list' food is great, they're accommodating for family including our 3yo, & the ambience is unbeatable. Highly recommend! Get the cardamom tea to share, you won't be sorry!
Ma premiere fois chez Rumi après plusieurs recommandations. J'ai commandé l'entrée halloumi grillé, c'était trop bon. Ensuite comme plat principal, le filet de poisson blanc qui etait du thon, j'ai bcp aimé surtout les légumes vinaigrés sur le dessus. Mon amie a pris le poulet avec patates, elle a bien aimé. Je suis quand même décue car vos portions sont trop généreuses je n'ai pas eu de place pour un dessert 🤣. Bon ça sera pour une prochaine fois. La déco est vraiment belle.
Nous avions une réservation pour 4 personnes & la soirée c'est magnifiquement bien passé. La nourriture était excellente & le service impeccable. Je le recommande vivement.

Un endroit magnifique, un vrai voyage culinaire ! La nourriture délicieuse, personnel chaleureux, décor & ambiance magnifique! À recommander sans hésiter!
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!
La place est vraiment superbe l'accès est aisée de la place pour se garer rue du Parc. Le service est des plus attentionné & efficace. Les mocktails très frais & vraiment bons. Les plats sont savoureux & de qualité ma seule réserve c est sur le rapport portion/prix. Je recommande la place malgré tout
Ça a été une bonne expérience. Le service était aimable & rapide. Nous avons commandé a partager 5 mezzes: (froids): olives vertes grillées & les champignons marinés & (chauds): halloumi rumi, pastilla & calmars grillés. Tout était vraiment bon. Nous voulions le Merguez, mais il n'y avait plus. La terrasse est agréable. Pour boire, j'ai pris la caipirinha à la framboise, je l'ai trouvé correct. Je recommande.

Our server, Shaker, was great! The food was very good, though I have to admit that I preferred last time I was there (pre-2020). Maybe the Daal recipe is different now? Honestly, if I had never been to Rumi before, I would be giving it 5/5 stars. The labneh, ginger juice, Morrocan mint tea, & babaganoush were stellar. Still 100% a lovely experience & would recommend Rumi to everyone!
Excellente expérience!!! Service client parfait, l'endroit est beau , propre, les repas sont excellents!!! J'ai adoré l'expérience! Je recommande! J'ai beaucoup aimé le thé!
Nous y avons été pour un dîner en famille pendant le ramadhan c'était juste exquis ! Nous avons été très bien pris en charge le personnel a été très agréable & accueillant & vraiment aux petits soins.
Une cuisine riche & variée qui a grandement répondu à nos attentes 👌
