We had an exceptional dining experience at Rumi’s tonight! Our server, Autumn, was a true gem, offering warm and attentive service that elevated our evening. As a regular, I can confidently say this restaurant consistently exceeds expectations in every way—delicious food, inviting ambiance, outstanding service, and seamless management. Rumi’s truly knows how to deliver a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

This is truly a one of a kind dining experience in DC. Some of the best service I’ve had. Our server was attentive, but didn’t hover and was so kind. We were able to get great recommendations on both drinks and food options. The beet salad, mushrooms, scallops, and shrimp were beyond delicious and I would highly recommend. For cocktail lovers the 3PM in Istanbul was excellent. We will certainly be going back to enjoy the atmosphere and to eat more of the tapas we were just too full to eat this time around.
