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.

Délicieux repas, décor enchanteur. Le DJAJ MESHWY (poulet mariné & grillé) était vraiment très bon, ainsi que le mezzé de chou-fleur & le pouding afghan. Le prix des bouteilles de vin est raisonnable. Une chouette expérience!

Remi fait partie d'un de mes restaurants préférés, autant pour l'atmosphère qui vous plonge dans un décor d'orient que la qualité de la nourriture & du service. À recommander!

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.

Appetizers were decent, but main dishes were way too expensive for what you get. No one was too happy with the main course. I asked for modifications to mine, but none were allowed which makes me think it is not made fresh.

Ambiance incroyable, service très sympathique & nourriture exquise, j'y retournerai sans aucun doute. Nous sommes allés à une fête & avons commandé une entrée, un plat principal & un dessert & tout était délicieux. Le plat FEZ & la BOEF sont très délicieux.

We made reservation for 6 but last minute we could not find a baby sister so had to bring our 11 year old daughter. Rumi's staff was very accommodating. The servers were super accommodating & the food was superb! I had the salmon & it was so full of flavors. Finding parking was challenging but Rumi is our new favorite restaurant to go to.

The meal as always, was delicious. We ordered dhal soup, lamb shank, caviar d'aubergine, chakchouka merguez. I have dietary restrictions, but the menu provides many options. If I lived in Montreal, I would go there at least once a week.

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.

The food is a little bit overpriced ( per example the hummus platter is so delicious but small for its price)

Nous avons aimé notre expérience chez Rumi,. Par contre avons été très déçus par les portions fournies pour le prix, ainsi que pour la variété dans les plats. Par exemple, le déjeuner du Maroc ne contenait que presqu'exclusivement d'oignons cuits avec très peu de tomates. C'était plutôt une sauce à l'oignon & non une sauce tomate comme on nous l'avait décrite. & une très petite portion pour un plat de $20, comparativement aux autres restos Marocains que nous fréquentons. Le Mezzé chaud aux légumes grillés ne contenait que des morceaux de choux-fleur. Le mot "légumes est pourtant au pluriel sur le menu. Les autres Mezzés sont de très petites portions pour le prix. En espérant qu'ils ajusteront leurs portions ainsi que la variété dans les plats à la hausse. Car nous avons beaucoup aimé l'ambiance du restaurant qui offrait une belle musique douce & relaxe ainsi qu'un bon service.
