   Some of the best Mediterranean cuisine in the area!!!! Our server, Richard, was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, and gave amazing suggestions for pairings and starters. We were celebrating our anniversary and my husband’s birthday, and the server made our occasion super special. We can not wait to return. Thank you Richard and the Rumi’s staff, and chefs!

   This was my second time here and the rest of our party's first time. The food here is excellent, the service was fantastic, I love the ambiance both inside and outside. I can't wait to come back!

   The food (kabobs) were delicious but the Lamb shank was not . It was too much fat on the lamb jeopardizing the flavor as my friend that was visiting complained badly . He is a world traveler and a foodie . Other than that it was fine. In case I take someone for dinner I will not recommend this dish .

   I absolutely loved the food! It reminded me of the best flavors of Iran. Delicious, authentic, and full of warmth. A truly wonderful experience!

   For context my visit was a busy Saturday night, and unfortunately for my visit my group had to wait over an hour to be sat for our reservation. The restaurant had clearly allowed too many reservations. To add to this, many, many tables were sitting at their tables already paid up, and not being turned over which made things worse. You cannot do both, and sadly the wait was so bad that even the small deduction from the check could not save things.

   We love this restaurant for the food, ambience and extraordinary service …. portions are really great ( so sick of other restaurants that charge high prices for “small plates’!). Jack is a phenomenal manager … treats us like we are family ❤️. Last night we had Zack as our server, his first night, and he was exceptional!
