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.

I ate so well yesterday 😋
I was genuinely surprised by how generous the food portions were. The dishes were flavorful & tasty, with a beautiful balance of sweetness, salt, & seasoning.
The decor & lighting immediately immerse you in the restaurant's traditional ambiance. There were live performers playing traditional music, which made the experience even more special.
We also had the traditional tea service, which left me in awe-it was such a beautiful & intentional moment.
The earthy flavors, generous portions, rich tastes, decor, & music truly transported me into their world & culture. I believe it's Persian, though I wish I had confirmed because the experience was unforgettable.
They absolutely nailed their vision & mission.
It was a perfect experience from service, to food, to atmosphere! Everything we tried was super tasty! Comfort food. Will come back soon for sure!
My friends & I recently had lunch at Rumi for the first time. Shaqir took good care of us. We began with their very tasty soup, followed by a variety of hot & cold messes (small plates) he suggested, served with different types of naan. Everything was delicious, including the Afghan pudding & Kunafa for dessert. We definitely would go back.
I had the Rumi Dal Soup with Nan bread. Just the loveliest soup with a gorgeous fresh olive oil, tasty nutritious & so delicious. Staff is lovely.
Very unique Middle Eastern cuisine. Delicious dishes from Morocco, Iraq, & Iran. The appetizers are well-chosen & very tasty. The main plates taste are very unique & the whole experience is a must-try with the lighting, decorations, & Music.
We used to visit Rumi every so often before Covid & loved their brunch. We came recently to see that their menu has changed. The food is not as tasty as before. Naan break is even worse than store bought. So sad.
Tasty exotic flavors, well presented in a very cosy yet unique decor. Thanks to the staff for their friendly service

Good experience overall, a bit expensive but overall great service & tasty food.
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 did go tonight in the restaurant for my birthday they did change the menu the food is not as tasty as before & the service was too pushy we didn't even finish our entrée they brought my food on the table & we didn't finish our dessert & the tea the waiter He give me the bill.we did eat in 45 minutes Entre main dish & dessert & I did pay 180.00 dollars I don't go back there anymore.
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.
Excellent for me: delicious meals with east oriental touch, very tasty. A little expensive but worthy.
Unfortunately, the food & service weren't as great as used to be. The appetizers were as tasty as before but the main plates' quality & flavour were a bit disappointing. The service personnel wasn't attentive, not checking if we needed a second drink or not.
Overall, it was very different from the last experience I had back in the early 2020, but considering they survived during the pandemic, the new menu is adopted to the current condition. Will try again but not anytime soon.
As always, the food was creative, fresh, & tasty, the service friendly.
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.
Lovely dinner experience with tasty dishes, excellent cocktails & friendly & professional service. Well priced, good atmosphere, we will be back!
Awesome tasty dishes. The service was very personable. The decor is very cozy!
