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.

Our Specialties

Homemade juice, Mezze, Braised lamb, Roast lamb & Middle Eastern brunch.

Rumi est un des rares restaurants à nous offrir la même qualité d'expérience, tant au niveau culinaire que sociale. La cuisine est toujours aussi exquise & généreuse, l'ambiance & le service chaleureux , & les prix très raisonnables C'est un endroit ou je me sens accueillie & toujours bien:)
C'est un exploit compte tenu de la réalité que vivent nos restaurateurs indépendants. Encourageons-les car il n'en reste plus beaucoup....

It was amazing! As soon as you enter, you feel in the Middle East, the decoration is beautiful, the atmosphere is calm but also with joy. The staff very kind!! We are definitely coming back because we want to try more things.
We ordered the hummus with pesto & naan bread, Beirut beer, Kefta beef & agneau & some baklava for dessert. We paid around $115 + tips
The portions are big, we didn't finish our plates so we asked for a box to take home.
Everyone was having a beverage with mango & tea, I will try that next time.

Shaker & the team service was excellent & the food was sweat, earthy & almost poetic. The Rez is tender it falls of the bone & the teas are authentic as described

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.

J'y suis allée pour un thé à la menthe, il était vraiment trop léger à mon goût, mais la serveuse nous a demandé comment on le désirait & on a répondu, comme vous êtes habitués de le faire.
Je mets 3 pour l'ambiance car je trouvais la musique trop forte pour moi.

Good service & the food was good. 4 stars just because the ginger juice tasted like..soap? (for all 4 of us) ...weird taste. But other than that it was nice. Thanks.

Atmosphère agréable avec un service hors pair & excellent repas…!!

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.

Nous avons adoré notre expérience pour notre dîner de Noël d'équipe. Le personnel est chaleureux & agréable. Les nombreux choix offerts sur la table d'hôte étaient délicieux. Nous avons adoré le pudding afghan en dessert & le thé marocain servit dans une théière pour toute la tablée! Nous y retournerons c'est certain!

Mostly mediocre. There are plenty of Mediterranean & Persian restaurants that are so much better than this. I wonder how they stay in business.
