I went to Rumi’s tonight. Food is excellent, no question about it. If you are Iranian and familiar with how we make kabobs (since childhood), then you know Rumi’s kabobs are the best in Atlanta ( sorry Mirage and perspolis and fanoos and ….)
The room and space in Rumi’s is a different story. It is right out small and cramped. They seriously should invest in the empty building next to them and expand. It is a shame this exquisite food is served in this itty bitty place.
Oh and one more thing, the hostess tonight… my god she is so pretty..

My wife and I eat here often and always have a pleasant, enjoyable meal. The bread and herbs “appetizers” are great starters as are all the real “appetizers” we’ve tried. I love the stew you mention as well as the beef dish with sauce spooned over more of the bread! All the kabobs we’ve had are also excellent, although I will say the chicken has tended to be dry and we now don’t order that. Salmon is excellent as are the lamb and beef, tho. Two thumbs up on Rumi’s.

I was at Rumi’s last Friday evening and just loved it. You definitely missed something with the desserts, though. There was a combination sorbet and ice dessert where the two halves complemented each other perfectly. The service is certainly excellent; our server was spot-on all night. I preferred the barg to the koobideh, but it’s a preference matter. Neither was inferior in any objective way, and both were still tasty for lunch the next day.

I’ve only been once (so far) but I STILL salivate at the thought of Rumi’s lamb kabobs and that awesome rice (am I am not a big rice eater). They were packed the night I went, so my friend and I sat at the bar, had a glass of red wine and lamb kabobs. Heaven.

I was told by an Iranian friend who is a fabulous cook to eat at Rumis. She was so right. Of all the very good restaurants in the Metro area, Rumis is probably my favorite for a dinner that I can’t/ won’t cook. The owner is so nice and the food is wonderful. I love the fresh tarragon at the beginning. Lunch menu is less expensive than dinner and there is no lunch menu on the weekends. It is a wonderful experience. And welcome back, John.

thanks, Dee and Linda and others. Sophy, I think my kids would warn you off any adoption plans!

Can you adopt me?? I would have loved to be the daughter of a restaurant critic when I was a kid! Once a foodie, always a foodie.

I love Rumis. I’ve taken several friends there and they enjoy it as well. Thanks for giving us a review close to the west side of town. We live in East Cobb and I struggle to find good restaurants nearby. Good writing.
