    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!

    Impeccable! Cannot wait to go again to try some more of the menu. We had baba ghannouge, fries with labneh, smoked beet salad, mujadara, imam bayildi, garides me anitho, lamb baharat and lamb kelftiko. Every single dish had a perfectly- balanced complexity of flavors that made want to sing. The food has inspired me to attempt some of these dishes at home.
