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.
Charming & comfy restaurant with excellent staff & food. You leave this place feeling nourished. The decor is charming & tables somewhat close to one another so expect a more communal yet intimate atmosphere.

De passage à Montréal pour un mois, je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de retourner plusieurs fois au Rumi! Tout est délicieux. Le personnel est très agréable & souriant. J'ai également pu profiter d'une soirée en musique un soir de semaine, c'était un super moment. Coup de coeur pour le Djaj, un poulet succulent!!! Je serais de retour à chacun de mes passages à Montréal, ça c'est sûr!
Le seul bémol, c'est les quantités. La nourriture est très bonne, magnifique, rien à dire, mais les quantités que ce soit en entrée ou en plat, je les trouve moyenne à petite.
Everything about this place is great! The joint has a homie & non pretentious vibe, the wine selection & service were great as usual My favourite thing to do here is get all the hot & cold mezzeh's with fresh nan & share. f you're a group, do it! You can't go wrrong These guys have been around for over 2 decades & it shows, they know what they're doing. Thanks Rumi! It was an amazing & delicious evening once again 🙏❤️⭐️💯
Absolutely delicious food & drinks. We only tried non-alcoholic but they had some incredibly refreshing juices & satisfying teas. The food was also really fresh & came quickly. The best babaganoush I've ever had! We tried the fish, lamb special & chicken djaj & they were all excellent!
Nourriture délicieuse très bien apprêtée. Nous étions un groupe de 7 & tout le monde était content. Le restaurant était bizarrement vide pour un samedi soir par contre, ce qui crée une ambiance un peu plate. Je recommanderais quand même, mais pour un vibe relax & cozy.
Bonne cuisine & agréable ambiance,la cuisine est très bonne par contre le service à table n est pas des meilleure,mais malheureusement c est le cas partout au Québec les serveurs n aime pas trop leurs travail
Très belle soirée en terrasse hier. Nourriture délicieuse & service très sympathique. Nous avions des allergies au gluten & de nombreuses options pour nous régaler.
