We invite you to Rumi’s Kitchen where fresh, healthy food and attentive Persian hospitality await you.

    Food was good not great, service was very good, but it was very noisy in the indoor part of the restaurant. And there was also music playing which made it hard to hear other people at our own table of 4. If you wear hearing aids communication would be close to a lost cause.

    Everything about our dinner here was 5-star! The food was delicious, the wine choice was outstanding, the service was attentive and helpful, and the ambiance was great. If you're a wine drinker, this is a fabulous restaurant to go to with an extensive list of wines from around the world. They also had a decent choice of cocktails. Everything from the appetizers to the main dishes and dessert was also delicious!

    Great meal! We only had a short time for dinner as we were headed to a concert. The staff was extremely attentive, served courses at a perfect pace so we were timely but didn’t feel rushed. Food was delicious and plentiful. And it is SO nice to eat in a restaurant where you don’t have to shout to be heard. We carried on our conversation at normal speaking levels and didn’t hear from those at tables near us. Convenient location and definitely will be back.
