Rumi's Kitchen first opened more than a decade ago in Atlanta, the result of years of development by Chef / Owner Ali Mesghali. Showcasing the flavors of Iran -- fresh herbs, kabobs cooked over an open-fire grill -- quickly won loyal guests at the original location in Sandy Springs, GA and set us on pace to open our first restaurant outside of Georgia in 2020. Rumi was a 13th-century Persian poet whose words and life teach us how to find inner peace, happiness and love. We invite you to Rumi’s Kitchen where fresh, healthy food and attentive Persian hospitality await you.

We went to Petite Cherise for our anniversary dinner. From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience. We had the prix fixe dinner, which included four courses. The snacks were delicious, particularly the Oysters Rockefeller. Our three shareables — Céleri Rãpées, Black Truffle Cavatelli, and Pork Paillard — were great surprises of spices and flavors. We had the Beef Bourguigon as our entree. It was perfectly prepared. The meal was beautifully capped by Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cake and coffee. The service was as fabulous as the food. The staff is professional, friendly, accommodating, and generous. We can’t wait to return.

The miso ramen and stamina spicy were excellent! We also got the whiskey infused dumplings and the flavors were phenomenal. If you like spicy, ask for the spice bomb to be added to your ramen, it’s got the perfect ghost pepper kick!
