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.
Rumi is described as a warm, inviting spot with beautiful décor and a Middle Eastern vibe, where generous portions, flavorful mezze and main courses, and fresh ingredients meet attentive, friendly service. The atmosphere is cozy and often lively, sometimes enhanced by live music and a charming terrace garden, making it suitable for intimate dinners as well as groups and celebrations. Guests repeatedly note excellent service, accommodating staff, and good value for the quality, with dishes ranging from hummus and halloumi to lamb shank and merguez highlighted as standouts. The tea service, desserts, and overall balance of sweetness and spice add distinctive touches, and the space feels welcoming to families and friends alike. Overall, Rumi emerges as a reliable go-to for diverse flavors, a festive yet comfortable ambience, and a dining experience that invites return visits.
It was great! We went for a birthday party & shared the menu & it was amazing. Food is very good & authentic. Service was very good & the restaurant's decor makes you feel like you are out of town. Will most definitely go back & the best part (for the muslims), the meat is HALAL!
Every dish was delicious, interesting, & impeccably made & presented. The service was exceptional as well, so kind & sweet. Our best meal in Montreal, after eating out for an entire week! We will definitely be back!
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.

À la bonne franquette, ce qu'on nous sert est frais & bon, comme une cuisine maison bien servie. Pour une soirée informelle c'est parfait, l'endroit est chaleureux & sans façon.
It has a good environment & nice decoration, but I would like to add that in their website there is an online reservation, but when we went there the waitress told us that online reservation doesn't work & you need to call for the reservation.
Accueil chaleureux, service attentif & ajusté à notre rythme, & bouffe délicieuse! La meilleure pastilla de Montréal. J'y retourne, c'est sûr: il y a tant de plats à découvrir!
Très bon repas, beau décor, ambiance chaleureuse & service impeccable, voilà ce qu’on y a retrouvé.
Les seuls hics selon moi seraient le riz, quoique cuit à la perfection, n’avait pas ce petit croustillant qu’a généralement le riz iranien & les prix que j’ai trouvé un peu élevés. Sinon, tout était parfait !!
Pour ce qui est du stationnement, il est vrai que ça peu être assez pénible d’en trouver mais, après quelques tours dans les rues avoisinantes, j’ai été agréablement surprise de trouver un stationnement public (parcomètre) sur la rue Durocher, en haut de la rue Laurier qui est gratuit après 18h les samedis & dimanches.
