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.

Always a pleasure to dine at Rumi's. Fairly priced, the food was delicious with fresh ingredients & portions a good size, we love the eastern atmosphere & the service was friendly & efficient. The Moroccan tea to finish is a must! All in all Rumi's is a perennial favourite. We will of course be back.

When I first entered the restaurant, I felt myself in a magical atmosphere. The decoration, the friendly service staff & the food were great. When I first looked at the menu, I had no idea what the food looked like, so I wasn't sure what I should eat.I think the picture of the dishes should appear on the menu, that was the only thing missing, this detail may have missed the attention of the restaurant operator. Still, I guve 5 🌟

Service très bien en revanche côté cuisine ce n'est vraiment pas à la hauteur & quantités insuffisantes. Le riz pas représentatif du tout de la cuisine syriano libanaise. Je ne recommande pas. Rapport qualité prix mauvais.

J' ai beaucoup aimé le caviar d'aubergine & la pastille, ainsi que la limonade à la menthe (!) Le service était super: attentif sans être envahissant.

We absolutely loveee & adore Rumi! It's been 14 years we've been going there & we made alot of good memories there. Just happy they brought back the old menu & hope they keep & add to it too. We'll be back soon :)

After a disastrous experience at the Croissanterie across the street we went to Rumi which has been on my radar for some time. It was excellent. The menu is interesting & broad. There was a shakshuka on the menu with beef & lamb which really hit all the buttons. I ate it slowly just to savour it. My wife had a semolina dish - kouinaffeh - which she adored. Add to it a delicious mint tea & it was a great meal. Service was excellent, atmosphere warm & lovely. The server mentioned pastia for the next time. & we'd be down for a next time for sure.

Nous avons été ravis par la cuisine proposée. Nous avons choisi de partager les mezzés chauds & froids, qui étaient à la hauteur du prix annoncé. Le service était rapide. Cependant, nous avons été très surpris par le comportement du serveur. Il a été très accueillant à notre arrivée, mais à la fin de notre expérience, il s'est montré très froid & peu convivial. Il nous a laissés pendant 1h30 sans venir nous voir, & il a été difficile de lui signaler que nous souhaitions commander des desserts. L'expérience culinaire était au rendez-vous, mais nous avons été un peu déçus par l'attitude du serveur. C'était ma deuxième visite , & j'ai été un peu gêné d'avoir emmené mes amis pour cette visite.

After many back & forth about how many we were going to be, with kind help from young lady we finally settled in. We ordered 9 different starters , 7 were excellent & 2 forgettable ( fatoush salad bland & mushrooms boring ) another complaint was you have to order pita-naan bread because it's not included with the entrees. Very petty & annoying. Main courses were abundant & excellent. Service through out was outstanding & friendly. We will go back & try other dishes. We all loved the sauces & exotic spices.
