Le restaurant Rumi vous propose de faire l’expérience culinaire de la Route de la Soie qui traversait autrefois l’Asie centrale et le Moyen-Orient. Une route qui reliait des villes, des oasis, et des marchés... de grandes traditions, de formidables royaumes.
La Route de la Soie était aussi la route des épices, généreuses en parfum et en saveur. Nous vous invitons à vous inspirer de l’esprit qui habitait ces voyageurs, marchands et pèlerins qui échangèrent pendant plusieurs siècles des biens, des richesses et des éléments culturels importants. Un esprit de découverte dans l’ouverture.
Nous cherchons à créer une atmosphère hospitalière et propice aux rencontres significatives. Un cadre qui permette de prendre le temps de se restaurer au sens de regagner la force et le sens.
Notre cuisine favorise autant que possible une agriculture locale, biologique et durable. La viande que nous servons est en totalité halal.
L'expérience culinaire chez Rumi allie une ambiance chaleureuse, des portions généreuses et un riche éventail de saveurs du Moyen-Orient, souvent décrites comme authentiques et accueillantes. Les plats, des mezzes aux plats principaux, sont loués pour leur profondeur, leur fraîcheur et leurs assaisonnements soignés, avec des touches créatives qui honorent la tradition. Le service est régulièrement salué pour sa bienveillance et son attention, et l'atmosphère conviviale, parfois agrémentée de musique live, contribue au charme du lieu. La terrasse, la décoration et le bon rapport qualité-prix reviennent fréquemment dans les éloges, en faisant un endroit prisé pour les repas en famille, les célébrations et les dîners conviviaux.
I ate so well yesterday 😋
I was genuinely surprised by how generous the food portions were. The dishes were flavorful & tasty, with a beautiful balance of sweetness, salt, & seasoning.
The decor & lighting immediately immerse you in the restaurant's traditional ambiance. There were live performers playing traditional music, which made the experience even more special.
We also had the traditional tea service, which left me in awe-it was such a beautiful & intentional moment.
The earthy flavors, generous portions, rich tastes, decor, & music truly transported me into their world & culture. I believe it's Persian, though I wish I had confirmed because the experience was unforgettable.
They absolutely nailed their vision & mission.
My friends & I recently had lunch at Rumi for the first time. Shaqir took good care of us. We began with their very tasty soup, followed by a variety of hot & cold messes (small plates) he suggested, served with different types of naan. Everything was delicious, including the Afghan pudding & Kunafa for dessert. We definitely would go back.
Very unique Middle Eastern cuisine. Delicious dishes from Morocco, Iraq, & Iran. The appetizers are well-chosen & very tasty. The main plates taste are very unique & the whole experience is a must-try with the lighting, decorations, & Music.
We used to visit Rumi every so often before Covid & loved their brunch. We came recently to see that their menu has changed. The food is not as tasty as before. Naan break is even worse than store bought. So sad.
I did go tonight in the restaurant for my birthday they did change the menu the food is not as tasty as before & the service was too pushy we didn't even finish our entrée they brought my food on the table & we didn't finish our dessert & the tea the waiter He give me the bill.we did eat in 45 minutes Entre main dish & dessert & I did pay 180.00 dollars I don't go back there anymore.
I'm a former cook so more critical than most about food — & I thought the food was really good. Middle Eastern & Moroccan with North American touches — creative, fusion-y, light, plenty of vegetables. The mezze with butternut squash & the Haloumi Rumi were especially tasty — & I suspect my dinner companions would name other dishes. No complaints about the service. Slightly bohemian urban space that worked perfectly for me & my friends.
Unfortunately, the food & service weren't as great as used to be. The appetizers were as tasty as before but the main plates' quality & flavour were a bit disappointing. The service personnel wasn't attentive, not checking if we needed a second drink or not.
Overall, it was very different from the last experience I had back in the early 2020, but considering they survived during the pandemic, the new menu is adopted to the current condition. Will try again but not anytime soon.
