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.

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

Delicious! In lovely ambience & a beautiful neighbourhood. We had 7 small dishes which was perfect & a great way to try a variety of food. (Also fyi lots of vegetarian choices, some vegan.)

Our server, Shaker, was great! The food was very good, though I have to admit that I preferred last time I was there (pre-2020). Maybe the Daal recipe is different now? Honestly, if I had never been to Rumi before, I would be giving it 5/5 stars. The labneh, ginger juice, Morrocan mint tea, & babaganoush were stellar. Still 100% a lovely experience & would recommend Rumi to everyone!

Toujours un réel plaisir d'aller à ce restaurant mythique.Cette fois-ci j'ai essayé le saumon. Délicieux! J'ai cependant été surprise par la salade Fattouche qui semble avoir changé de recette... je préférais l'ancienne. Service rapide, courtois & ambiance unique. Déjà hâte à ma prochaine visite :)

I came here for my birthday.
The staff is very nice & friendly.
I liked the mixed countries of this food.
I am picky when it comes to middle eastern food since I am one & theirs was delicious.
They make great Lebanese Iranian food.
I loved the fez which is lamb.
My friends loved the kafta karaz & djaj meshwi.
We had many appetizers such as babaghnouj
homous batata calamari merkez with naan bread.
I jad a small pot or Moroccan tea & a glass of Iranian tea. Those are great.
I wish they had the pita bread & kibbeh with meat.
Must visit place

We got married today & came to this restaurant for lunch.
We ordered two plates of Rumi plate & one Kofta - the food was absolutely delicious, & the atmosphere was wonderful. It was a very special experience for us. Without a doubt, we're giving five stars!

Came here for supper one evening & it was fantastic! The braised Lamb Shank is expensive but very worth trying; falls off the bone & melts in your mouth. Great tea, delicious everything. Wonderful meal for sharing! Will probably be coming back to try their breakfast 😋
