The flavors were…read moreoutstanding, and what impressed me most was how beautifully they let the meat shine without overwhelming it with spices or sauces. Even the vegetarians in our group were raving about the food. We ordered the lamb merguez, mushroom hummus, eggplant appetizer, and a family-style spread of soltani kebab, lamb kebab, and chicken barg. Everything was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. The portions are HUGE, so definitely plan to share. I also loved the fresh sabzi served with pita--it was such a simple but delicious addition. The mocktails were excellent as well and paired beautifully with the food. Service was outstanding. We were a large group, and the team took excellent care of us with quick, attentive, and friendly service throughout. The ambience is fantastic, with a rustic, warm vibe that makes the restaurant feel both lively and inviting. Between the incredible food, generous portions, and excellent service, Rumi's Kitchen is an easy recommendation and a place I'd happily return to.

We started with a bourbon and a margarita-like drink, both of which were very good. The service here is outstanding our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance and decor are a little at odds with each other; the Med-inspired walls with florals and chandeliers felt like it was a little all over the place. Onto the entrees; I had the kefta kebab which was amazing and my husband had the lamb chops which were also quite good! We would return (and dress a little nicer) for a view of the water. The added gratuity was a bit of a shock, but we were slightly prepared. This is a special occasion kind of place, not an every weekend kind of place (I guess depending on who you are, lol).

I waited for about 6 minutes before anyone showed up and then another few minutes before being seated. This was probably because of turnover service between brunch and dinner. I sat on the terrace which had a beautiful view. It can be a bit toasty if you're facing the sun. For my drink did the Lumiere Du Sud. It was refreshing but nothing to rave about. For summer restaurant week I did the mussels, kafta kebab and tiramisu. The mussels were pretty good. Packed with flavor and sauce. I was a bit disappointed with the kafta kebab. I really wanted to try one of the lamb dishes but didn't want to pay the up charge without trying anything first. The kebab was a bit too salty for me. The portion size was perfect though. The tiramisu was good. The waiter was nice. He described the menu well and checked in frequently but not too much. While I enjoyed my dinner, it didn't wow me. I'd likely come back to try happy hour and check out the penthouse.
