After a disastrous experience at the Croissanterie across the street we went to Rumi which has been on my radar for some time. It was excellent. The menu is interesting & broad. There was a shakshuka on the menu with beef & lamb which really hit all the buttons. I ate it slowly just to savour it. My wife had a semolina dish - kouinaffeh - which she adored. Add to it a delicious mint tea & it was a great meal. Service was excellent, atmosphere warm & lovely. The server mentioned pastia for the next time. & we'd be down for a next time for sure.

Rumi is an old favourite & last night did not disappoint. The Fez was delicious, the Kafta was very good. The wine from Lebanon was exceptionally good. Mint tea & service made it all perfect. It's a place you will not want to miss at the very edge of Mile-End across from the Ukrainian Federation Community Center.

Many heartfelt thanks to the team at Rumi for providing a unique taste of the traditional Islamic world. The visual & auditory beauty one is treated to take one to another world. The experience I have had coming to Rumi for the last ten years has been a real delight!

Ordered an abundance of meze dishes for a table of 7, to expand variety & increase deliciousness & reduce the strain of individual ordering. Don't forget pots of tea & wine. Plus charming, efficient, friendly service. Great meal.

fantastic alternative to the usual brunch fair. Long live merguez. Mint tea & mint lemonade were especially good.
Decor was beautiful.

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 💖

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.

We had a lovely brunch at Rumi this weekend. It was our first time visiting & we were charmed by the eclectic, mystical- themed interior & friendly service. We tried two different omelettes both of which were delicious & really flavourful. We also had the Moroccan chicken pastry with cinnamon sprinkled in top (forget the name) which was like a dance on our taste buds. All the food seems to be prepared with love & care in the tradition of Sufi practice & you can really feel & taste the good energy here. We ended our meal with a pot of Persian Cardamom tea served in an exquisite silver decorated pot. It was the most fragrant cardamom tea I have ever had & a perfect way to end our meal. Would definitely recommend this place!

Awesome brunch Sunday. Everything was wonderful from all the usual favorite meze, merguez & mint tea to the tagines & omelettes. Vegetarians & meat lovers had many choices & left happy with the food, service & ambience.
