   I recently had the pleasure of dining at rumis and I must say, the service provided by our waiter Arif was exceptional. From the moment we were seated, he greeted us with a warm and friendly smile that immediately made us feel welcome. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and he took the time to explain the specials and make personalized recommendations based on our preferences. Throughout the meal, Arif was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were always filled and our needs promptly met. His professionalism and courteous demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience.

   We had the pleasure of having Brandon C. as our waiter this evening and he exceeded our expectation. This was our first time and Brandon was very informative about the whole menu which in the end helped us make our decision. The food was excellent and great portions for the price, the drinks were also delicious. Ambiance was superb, would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

   Our service was top class with the food brought out at a pace that didn’t try to rush our meal.

   Terrific menu, wonderful ambience and superior service. Our waiter Brandon was knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating a few special requests and along with the food choices (grilled salmon,grilled shrimp, hummus w/ crimini mushrooms, etc...) his presence added an extra touch of attention to details that are missing in too many of the higher end restaurant experiences. Highly recommended!

   First, Let me say that five stars in my book is very difficult to achieve. I don’t give 5 stars so easily. The food was good, not great. The shish kebab meat was tender and seasoned well. The stew we had was so-so. Meat was dry. The lamb ribs for an appetizer was good. They were flavorful and easy to get off the bone. We had an eggplant dish that was really good and I am not a huge fan of the eggplant. Two desserts we had (ice cream between two wafers and a cake with strawberries) were both different and good. Not amazing. I did enjoy my Iranish coffee. The place is loud with club like music playing. Restaurant was packed so this may be the reason for the noise level. 3 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts and 3 mixed drinks plus tip- $250. I will say the service was exceptional.

   Food and interesting food. Service good but manic. Noise level torturous, amplified by boombox music.

    We highly recommend Rumi's new brunch experience! Our waitress, Cassidy, couldn't have been more gracious and delightful. The food at Rumi's is always spectacular. Our only "complaint" is that we can't resist the appetizers so we never have room for all the entrees we want to try! This trip, we loved the eggplant appetizers, the charred tomatoes and labneh, and the corn ribs. The new egg dishes were wonderful - we especially liked the beef, eggs and potatoes which were incredible! As always, the combination of flavors and textures is so unique - there's nothing else like it in Houston. The wine recommendations were perfectly paired with each course, and we especially loved learning the proper way to drink Persian tea. The desserts were the perfect end to a perfect meal. Thank you, Rumi's, for a wonderful, memorable brunch!
