Review Summary

Rumi welcomes guests with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a Middle Eastern mood carried by welcoming staff, a varied and flavorful menu of mezze and mains, and beautifully presented dishes that highlight fresh ingredients. Reviewers describe generous portions, rich spice balance, and a dining experience that works well for families, groups, or romantic evenings, with options for vegetarians and those avoiding gluten. The terrace and live music add charm, while several notes praise quick, attentive service and reasonable prices for quality, though a few reviews mention high prices relative to portions and occasional language gaps with staff. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a standout for authentic, comforting flavors, friendly service, and a memorable ambience that makes guests want to return.

Service très courtois & sympathique. Il manquait l'ambiance de musique ottomane qui aurait donné au restaurant une dimension plus adéquate du thème Rumi. Nos remerciements à l'équipe & ai serveur.

Pour moi c'est un score parfait, j'y suis allé à plusieurs reprises & je n'ai jamais été déçu. Le service est excellent & la nourriture aussi, un endroit à découvrir.

Les repas étaient trop salés lors de nos deux visites dans votre restaurant. Cela dégrade le plaisir gustatif. Cette fois-ci, les entrées que nous avons choisies étaient particulièrement salées.
La nourriture est bonne, cependant nous nous attendions à de la cuisine plus raffinée, correspondant davantage aux prix & au décor.

Another great New Year's Eve dinner at Rumi. Thank you.

Kudos to the chef who showed the absolute bare minimum effort to cook an otherwise delicious menu. Would strongly recommend against it.

Restaurant, ambiance & service exceptionnel! Rallongez vos horaires d'ouverture si possible.

We eat here whenever we come to Montreal. The food is delicious, especially the meze (starters): squid, baba ghanoosh, etc. The pudding dessert is heaven!

This place was initially known to be a very good & charming middle eastern restaurants in Montreal. But nowadays is actually a very low quality & very much expensive for what you get. Very disappointing to see how they lost their initial reputation

Ce n'est plus le Rumi que j'ai connu il y quelques années. Le serveur ne connaissait pas son menu ni le type de filet de boeuf offert à 44$. Il n'a même pas demandé la cuisson. Finalement j'ai opté pour le jarret. Quelle déception : un mini jarret noyé sous une sauce sucrée avec une petite portion de riz & de légumes. La soupe était correcte. Il y n' a plus de pain venant avec l'entrée alors nous avons demandé un naan. C'est un naan que l'on trouve dans la plupart des épiceries vendu en paquet. Il était brûlé d'un côté & mi cuit d'un autre. Ce fut d'un embarras! J'avais tellement vanté ce restaurant à ma belle famille & nous sommes sortis déçus.
