Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Little Italy

We had a brilliant experience. Me and my wife were there for a date night. We tried their "Silk Road Journey Experience". It started with their spreads. The Muhamara, Beet Mutabal and the Baba Ghanouj are worthy of a special mention. Then we had our Mezze. We tried the Mousakhan Chicken Rolls and the Kebbet Karaz. Both of them were amazing. We went towards the entree and we tried the Kebab Antabli and the Shish Tawouk. The Shisk Tawouk was outstanding. For the drinks we tried the Araks. This was our first time and I must say we will be drinking Arak for a while. It was a really good experience.

Rumi’s food hasn’t disappointed! This was my 6th visit, 4th at this location. The food is amazing! Well seasoned and so much variety! The Chilean sea bass is my favorite. I had a table reservation, was waiting at the bar they were running behind on the tables. Chris at the bar was wonderful! Give that man a raise! He was so knowledgeable and his recommendations were on point! I decided to stay at the bar for dinner. Chris had great service, was friendly and professional! He made the experience even better!

It was very good the only problem is the parking But we walked and it was worth it.

The food and service were fabulous. This restaurant is one of our favorite go to places when we are in DC. They never disappoint.

As always, everything was great from beginning to end. I feel some of the portions could have been a bit more since we were a table of 5 but that's how they get you to order 2 of things and not just one. The staff were attentive and great as usual. We had a little snafu with one of our after lunch teas being cold but it was remedied very quickly. Of course we'll be returning in the future. Everything on the menu must be tried!
