had a great experience at Rumi's! Complimentary valet, they accept tips, and there is a convenience fee with credit card tips - they have a great happy hour! the lamb is top tier! when you walk in, the ambiance literally lifts your spirits. gorgeous interior, and plenty of staff around to help each other. its definitely a date night vibe, happy hour vibe, and a group dinner vibe as well! I got a sharable salad, all the dips, and OMG the smoked eggplant was drool worthy good. it doesn't come with any chips or bread though so you gotta order that separately. we got kanafe and coffee for dessert and they actually offer decaf coffee as well. I have been twice and enjoyed it both times! excited to come back read more

Finally tried this famous restaurant. Highly recommend getting a reservation on the weekend. Food: - dolmeh $16 - it came with 5-6 pieces, sour but tasty, highly recommend - kashk badenjoon $17 - pretty inoffensive dish, just fried eggplant, it didn't stand out to me - koobideh with rice and veggies $28 - it was pretty standard, nothing too special, portion was enough for 2 people with average appetites - complimentary Persian ice cream sandwich for my birthday - creamy, fragrant with saffron, great way to end the meal Ambiance: great! Not too noisy because of the high ceilings. Service: the server was a bit passive aggressive but overall can't fault her for any particular thing. She was refilling our water a bit too much. Parking: free in the garage on the right past valet read more

Rumis Kitchen - Ice cream sandwich - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Houston, Texas

If you're looking for a date night spot with great vibes, this is definitely it. The ambiance is beautiful, but it gets very busy on weekend nights. Personally, I'd come more for the atmosphere than the food, simply because Houston has so many amazing, homey Persian restaurants. We ordered the Zeytoon Parvardeh, Kashk Bademjan, and the Soltani Kabob. The olives weren't really my thing- they were much more sour than I expected. The Kashk Bademjan, was rich and creamy, and I loved the crispy onions on top. The Soltani Kabob was delicious, and I was actually surprised that I preferred the beef tenderloin over the koobideh. The rice was perfectly cooked and paired well with everything. Our waitress was friendly, but the restaurant was absolutely packed, so the service never really had the chance to go above and beyond. read more

Rumis Kitchen - Zeytoon Parvardeh and soltani kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Had dinner here while traveling to Houston for a FIFA game. I really loved the decor, design, and overall atmosphere. They offer complimentary valet parking, and both indoor and outdoor seating. On busy weekend nights, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. I didn't have one, so I sat at the bar, but still received full service. I ordered the koobideh kabab, which came with complimentary fresh hot bread, plus a plate of vegetables. The kabab itself was good as well. I also tried the naranj soda, which tasted really refreshing. Service was okay, but it was a busy night. read more

Another place that has been on my "Hit List" for some time. I walked in with high expectations as I go to their original location in DC often. Walking in i was surprised as how different the vibe was. The DC location is much smaller and more intimate. The Houston location is much more spacious and gives a more upscale vibe. Service was top level from the moment you walk in. Welcomed with a warm smile and taken straight to my table. Waters and menus came right as I was sitting. I started with the Dolmeh, the minced beef was seasoned very well. The pomegranate sauce was a bit strong for my taste buds. My main course was the Lamb Kabob which was spot on to my experience from the DC location. I did notice they were very generous with the raisins in the basmati rice. I did receive a free birthday desert which surprised me. They brought me the Persian ice cream sandwich and it was amazing! I'm looking forward to going back soon. read more

When craving Persian food, you gotta go to Rumi's. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Houston, and the place I always take my friends from out of town to. I lost count on how mang times I've been here. A few of my favorites are the beef koobideh, shrimp, sea bass, but my number one has to be the lamb rack. I always get the mushroom hummus! It's a must. The whipped feta has these sweet tomatoes that are addicting. The restaurant is gorgeous and the servers are usually attentive. It may seem pricy to some, but trust me, the portions are huge. You can honestly share the lamb rack plate and the mushroom hummus between 2 people, and be stuffed. That's my usual order! read more

This is a MUST TRY restaurant! The food is authentic and delicious. Drinks are amazing also. Definitely worth it!

Wow--this place exceeded expectations. From the food to the ambiance, drinks, and service, everything was top-tier. Here's what we ordered and what I'd absolutely recommend: Drinks: The Shazdeh Garden was a showstopper--beautiful presentation and even better taste. Easily one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. The Turkish coffee martini was also the perfect pairing with dessert. Apps: * Labne Charred Tomatoes - 10/10, absolutely incredible * Roasted Cremini & Mushroom Hummus - 10/10, hands down one of my favorite dishes of the night * Mirza Ghasemi (eggplant) - 9/10, very flavorful and worth ordering Entrées / Feast: * American Wagyu Kabob - 10/10, an absolute must-order * Chicken Barg - 9/10, very well executed * Koobideh Kabob - 10/10, delicious * Braised Lamb Shank - 10/10, tender, flavorful, and another must-get dish We also added the Shirin rice, green chili chutney, and yogurt--all great complements to the meal. Dessert: * Pistachio cake - 9/10, delicious * Toffee cake - 10/10, my personal favorite of the night What really elevated the experience was the service. Our server, Adorian, was exceptional--attentive, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations that made the meal even better. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the vibe is upscale without feeling pretentious, and the entire experience felt special. I'd absolutely recommend this spot for a date night, celebration, or if you're simply looking for an amazing meal. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Rumi's Kitchen, for such an incredible dining experience. read more

Went here for the first time for an early birthday celebration and this place was outstanding! The food, vibe, drinks, and service were top notch. Here is what we ordered and what I recommend: Drinks - get the Shazdeh Garden, this drink was a work of art and amazing! Their Turkish coffee martini was also a great pairing with the desserts. Apps: Labne Charred Tomatoes 10/10 - incredible! Roasted cremini and mushroom hummus 12/10 - perfection! Mirza Ghasemi eggplant - 9/10 - very tasty. Lamb ribs - 10/10 - delish. Feast: American Wagyu Kabob - 10/10 - this was divine. Must get this one. Chicken Barg 9/10 - so good. Koobideh kabob - 10/10 - delicious.

I have had some great dishes here. The duck fessenjan, lamb shank and cherry rice are always top notch. I used to be a huge fan of the Beef Barg, which I got tonight. I used to rave how nobody made it like Rumi's. This was the 2nd or 3rd time in a year I had it. Last time it was a bit overcooked and under-salted. This time it was cooked right overall in temp with enough moisture. However, it was still under-salted and some bites tasted a bit metallic like liver, which I really dislike. There were a few good pieces, but overall not anywhere like it used to be. The beef barg didn't have a lot of that yogurty, creamy inner texture inside the meat like originally either. I will try the sea bass and a couple dishes I had in the past again when I eventually return, but this barg needed improvement for sure. It was excellent in the first year and half when this restaurant opened in Post Oak. read more

Dined at Rumi's for the first time and already planning to return soon. We arrived during happy hour and ordered the Lamb Rib Mezzo, Mezzo Trio, Koobideh Sliders, Sticky Wings and I had the Paper Plane cocktail and everything was delicious! Also ordered the Sea Bass from the regular dinner menu and it was excellent. My husband and I totally over ordered as the portion sizes are great but we got to enjoy a second dinner at home the following night which was what we were thinking all along. It was very busy as it was a Friday evening around 5:45 pm when we arrived but our server Natalie was on top of things and everything came out perfectly timed. read more

My colleague from Houston has selected another 5-star restaurant for a business dinner. The restaurant was packed on a Tuesday night and somehow he snagged a table for four. Houstonians, flush with cash, seem to love dining out all days of the week. You'll have the beat experience if you split several appetizers and a few entrees family style: 1. Falafels are a must get and were among the best I've had. Golf-ball sized with a thin crispy crust and super smooth, green filling. 2. Mushroom Hummus is another winner. The cremini mushrooms added so much earthy flavor and umami that the hummus was in the background. 3. Texas-sized Grilled Gulf Shrimp were like the size of baby lobsters. It was seasoned perfectly, flavor permeating the meat and not just the shell. 4. Eggplant was decent and good with the toasted flatbread. 5. For entrees, the Sea Bass was outstanding. They must have cooked it sous vide to get that silky smooth texture while finishing on the grill to get that outer crispy crust. The chicken breast was juicy and the koobideh were both good too but that seabass was simply on another level. Obviously, even with four people we had difficulty finishing up the mountains of rice. Also, no room for dessert. The appetizers were all worth it. read more

Wow! This place did not disappoint. We started the evening at the bar while waiting for a table. Note to self: make reservations next time. We got super lucky because someone didn't show up. I kicked things off with a bourbon cocktail (SS Poet). It went down smoothly -- almost too smoothly. A couple more of those and I would've been in trouble. Luckily, they have an extensive wine selection, so we ordered a lovely bottle instead. I definitely want to go back and drink my way through the cocktail list. On to the food! We started with hummus and couldn't decide which one to get, so we ordered two. My favorite was the lamb hummus -- I loved the crispy texture combined with the soft, pillowy layers of hummus. Total party in your mouth. I probably wouldn't order the mushroom one again. There was nothing wrong with it; the mushrooms just overpowered the hummus a bit for me. Now for the star of the show: the Koobideh. Out of this world. Probably the best I've had in Houston, and I've tried quite a few places. If I had to rank the entrées: Koobideh #1, filet #2 Shish), chicken #3, and shrimp last. The shrimp just weren't my favorite -- they had a stronger seafood aroma than I prefer. Overall, I would come back a thousand times. The staff was super friendly, and the restaurant is huge. Parking isn't great, so valet is basically your best bet. Highly recommend checking this place out. Cheers! read more

I came here for my birthday and had an amazing experience. I called ahead to make a reservation and the staff made it super easy to find a time for my party size. The lighting and ambiance were perfect, with lamps that you could change the lighting for depending on personal preference. Our server was so amazing and attentive. She also gave us recommendations on hummus and food. We ordered family style and got 1 hummus, 2 lamb and 2 chicken kebabs between 5 of us which was more than enough because we still had some to take to go! The portions were generous. I preferred the lamb over the chicken but both were pretty good. I also got a complimentary dessert for my birthday! read more

General Description: A high end Persian restaurant located in the heart of Post Oak. Good: - The hospitality stands out. As busy as they were, we had 3 managers stop by to ask how we were doing. - Food was awesome. I don't even know what we ordered since we had a native Persian friend that ordered for us. All I can say that the kebab, soltani, lamb ribs, and Persian ice cream,were amazing. - Modern, clean ambiance. Bad: - Gets crowded during busy the weekends. Reservation is needed. - This place will get you fat. Other: Complimentary valet. Overall: I will be going back soon. read more

Loved my time here! The ambiance is sophisticated and upscale with dim lighting. The entrance was grand, and right when you walk in, you see their extensive wine collection beautifully displayed to your left. I also loved the open kitchen towards the back of the dining room. The whole restaurant is super aesthetic, so it is also a great place to take pictures. I got the lamb merguez hummus and the grilled shrimp to start. For entrees, I got the chicken kabob, and my friend got the shish kebab. I also tried the gifts of the beloved and orange umbrella cocktails. The lamb merguez hummus was super creamy and flavorful. It was perfect with the pita and the merguez was also very tender and well-seasoned. (8/10) The grilled shrimp only came with two, but the flavor was great and the char on the shrimp was perfect. The sauce it came with was cheesy/garlicy/ creamy, and also paired well with the entree meats. I just wish it came with a bigger portion. (7/10) The chicken kabob was standard. The meat was tender, however the flavor was lacking a bit without the sauce. (6/10) The shish kabob was cooked perfectly medium and came with grilled onions and bell peppers, which I also enjoyed. (7.5/10) My friend got the albaloo and adas rice to pair with the shish kabob and I liked how to sourness of the cherries and sweetness of the raisins contrasted the savory meat. The drinks really impressed me. The gifts of the beloved cocktail was a mezcal-based cocktail and it was the perfect mix of fruity and smoky. It was really smooth and tasted delicious. (8.5/10) I was recommended the orange umbrella by our waitress because I also like tequila and I really liked this one as well. It did taste a bit stronger than the first, but if you don't mind that I would recommend this for you (8/10). All the dishes, other than the shrimp, came with huge portions perfect for sharing with a group. They also came with a charred tomato on each main dish. I left with plenty of leftovers and was very full at the end of my meal. The service was a bit slow at first because they had a full dining room, but once we ordered the dishes came out quickly and the servers were very attentive. There is valet parking or free parking on the side of the complex as well as in the garage behind. The food was overall great and very comparable to other Persian spots I've tried. I would definitely come back for a special occasion. read more

Outstanding. I have been wanting to come here for so long and finally did this year for my birthday. First of all, the restaurant is gorgeous. Looks straight out of restoration hardware. The service is amazing. Everyone who works here is so nice and accommodating. Our waitress was so sweet. I got the espresso martini which was delicious. I'm seriously an espresso martini connoisseur and this was 11/10. We started with the lamb hummus, which was insane. Drooling thinking about it now. We also got the wings to start out with as well, which are some of my favorite in persian cuisine. I got the koobideh and split it with my mom. It was very flavorful and authentic. Could've been a littleee more juicier and tender, still super tasty though. My step dad got the chicken kebab which was fantastic. We got a toffee cake dessert which was out of this world. The waitress even gave us complimentary persian ice cream sandwhiches which I loved. If you do not like rose water you will not like it, however, I knew I would. We also were given another type of pudding dessert which was so good as well, which hasn't hit the menu yet. All in all this place is one of my favorite restaurants now. I've had so much home cooked persian food and this was very authentic. I was extremely impressed. I cannot wait to come back here. Merci. ‍ read more

Rumis Kitchen - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've come here two times now and have loved both experiences! The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and trendy, making it perfect for a fun group dinner or an intimate date night. There's valet parking and a garage right behind/on top of the restaurant for free. This is one of the few restaurants in Houston that's both aesthetic and has good food. The first time I came here last week, my table ordered the mushroom hummus, Chilean sea bass and lamb rack. The second time I came here, my table ordered the lamb hummus, crispy potatoes, lamb kebab, chicken kebab and the soltani kebab. We also opted for the toffee cake and received a free tiramisu dessert for a celebration! The portions are humongous and filling. Both times, the dishes ordered were plenty and had to take leftovers. All entrees that I ordered come with a large platter of two different rices and roasted tomatoes. The kebabs are so flavorful, juicy and tender. My favorite kebabs were the lamb and soltani. I'm not typically a huge fan of lamb but it was prepared super well at Rumi's. Another favorite dish of mine were the crispy potatoes (tasty sauce on the potatoes) and the hummus! Both the mushroom and lamb hummus were good, but I think I personally preferred the mushroom one a bit more. Service is absolutely great too. Shoutout to Kyle for making the experience for my friends and I! read more

Valet parking Party for 2 experience Proably the best beef koobideh I ever had and rice perfectly cooked. Beef was still moist next day when I reheated leftovers. The mushroom hummus was meh. It was very light but flavor was lacking to me. I kept trying to eat it to seee it hits but it was just not. I would say Kasara Hummus is still my fave. The pita bread was ok to me as well. Service was nice but I feel the space is so tight sitting next to another table. You can hear your left & right side table conversations. Kinda awkward hearing a first date conversation. The pillows were overwhelming and congested. I felt it was tough to get in and out. read more

My first time here, my wife's second. Really nice flavorful Persian food with a twist. I could have easily just snacked on appetizers but that woudl have been a mistake as the SeaBass (that we split was sublime). The cocktail you see, but i also had a nice glass of Lebanese red wine which i think was teh better choice to stand up to the spices on the fish and the appetizers than a white would have been Good attentive service that were excited about the food, the spirit there and noted our Anniversary. Really cool art and modern look inside with many of the guests seeming to be from the Middle East, or like us, just fans of it . read more

Came here for a business dinner and was super excited for Persian food. This place has a great ambience and we were sat immediately. We started off ordering appetizers and got the chicken wings, hummus + pita, and shrimp. I could've easily made this my meal but I powered on and ordered a main entree. The shrimp was massive and meaty. It is presented in the shell for appearance but it was easy enough to get the meat out. The hummus and pita combination was great and the pita was super flaky and fresh. For my main I ordered the rice and lamb shank. The meat fell off the bone and the shank itself was served in a bowl because it sits in a broth. The rice was soft and flavorful but I'd argue that the portion size was too big. Finally, for dessert we did the ice cream bars. This can't be described in words and is a dish you just have to try. It's unlike anything I've ever had before but man, it all works. It's what I would imagine if you took middle eastern tea and turned it into ice cream. read more

This restaurant is incredible from the moment you step inside! It's set up European style! We started off with drinks. I recommend the SS Poet (bourbon with ginger hints), and the Orange Umbrella (tequila with naranj, orgeat, velvet falernum.) For our "Taste" we ordered Rumi's Wings, Falafel, flatbread, grilled shrimp, and Dolmeh. Everything came out hot and perfectly cooked! For our "Feast" we ordered the Chilean Sea Bass (with substitute) Zereshk dried barberry rice, and the Lamb Kabob with charred mint, yogurt marinade, and the lentil & raisin basmati rice. That was the best sea bass we've ever eaten! Finally for dessert we split Majoon Toffee Cake made up of date candied walnuts, candied orange, vanilla ice cream and Persian Ice Cream Sandwich made up of vanilla ice cream with saffron, rose water & pistachio. read more

I came here on a Friday night and had a 9:45 reservation. We got to the restaurant a little early and sat at the bar. Alex who was at the bar was amazing, so much so, she almost made us want to dine there. We had drinks and hummus (I forget which one) at the bar. Once we were seated at our table, Stephanie was our server and she was equally as amazing and offered great selections! I ordered the sea bass and it was delicious. It melts in your mouth! For dessert I had the toffee cake and it was delightful! The restaurant is spacious inside and the lighting, while a bit dim, there was still enough light to see the menu!

Some friends treated us to dinners night and we weren't disappointed! This small shopping center on the east side of post oak blvd in the galleria area is super swanky. Very cool and unique building. It feels like money the second you pull up. Definitely make reservations as this place is packed! They have a nice bar where you can grab a drink if you show up early for your table. Lots of unique cocktails. Bartenders will make sure you get what you want. You can tell they are pros. The entire restaurant is very dim but each table has these amazing tiny lights that shine the exact perfect amount of light on menus and your food. The waiters will gladly give you a tour of the menu and what their most popular items are. It's best to come here ready to share all the dishes with your table. Lots of meats, breads and sauce options. You will leave full...no doubt. Make room for dessert as they have some extremely unique takes on classic treats. You have to taste these things to believe it! read more

Rumi's Kitchen is a very strong 5/5 stars! For parking, you can either valet or there's tons of free parking space in the Post Oak Plaza (which is like a 60 second walk to the restaurant). Right when you walk in, you'll notice the beautiful interior having plenty of natural light coming in through the windows. This is what my friend and I ordered: Appetizer Dolmeh This dish has a pretty rich/sweet flavor. The minced beef filling with herbs was savory and the pomegranate sauce was sweet (maybe a little too sweet for my liking but still a great appetizer!) Roasted Cremini & Oyster Mushroom This was my favorite appetizer! The mushrooms were flavorful and added depth to the creamy hummus. I'd say this is a must get :) Falafel I personally don't care for falafel much so this dish wasn't anything special but it's still good! It was perfectly fried and the cauliflower and pickled veggies on the side were delicious. Shirazi Salad Usually I'm not crazy for salads but this was so refreshing and delicious! All the produce used was fresh and you can definitely taste the quality. Grilled Shrimp The shrimp is quality and has a good amount of meat to it with a delicious charr but I'm not sure if it was special enough for me to order it again Entree Shish Kabob and Chilean Seabass The meat was so tender, juicy, and savory! And the seabass was fantastic- flaky, buttery, and I couldn't get enough of it! The roasted veggies were also fantastic and the rice? Perfect. I can't wait to go back just to order this again Overall, the food was delicious, the quality of ingredients was great, the ambiance was wonderful, and our server was fantastic. She gave great recommendations on what to order and made sure everything was okay throughout the dining experience. I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing all my friends here. read more

Family of five went on an average weekday for a birthday. We had made reservations ahead of time, as we had a large party. We arrived at the restaurant and waited for more than 30 minutes while our kids were hungry, and nobody seemed to even look up. After we had bothered the hostess several times that we are waiting to be seated, we were repeatedly told to wait. Finally, after nearly 40 minutes of waiting, we threw in the towel and left. They did not seem to care. The problem with restaurants becoming as popular as this place is that, as the customer base grows, they will care less and less. It seemed to us that they had overbooked the restaurant and were unable to find seating. The food may be good, but if the service is not commensurate with that, there is no point to dining at a place like this. It behooves management to pay attention to how many reservations they take and their ability to honor customers to reserved ahead. read more

I've been to Rumi's 11 times in less than 2 months. Why? I can eat healthy in an upscale environment. My go to is the roasted salmon sub rice for shirazi salad (no oil on both) but sometimes I opt for the chicken baarg. I don't eat the bread but I do love snacking on the feta / walnut combination as my app. I wake up feeling great after I eat here. It also tastes like something my late wife would make for me. The stand outs at the bar are Jeremy, Kaitlyn, and Alex. I have to admit, I forgot about Alex until she reminded me last night (oops! ;) Having said that, if it wasn't for these 3, I wouldn't come here as often. And that's why it gets 4 stars vs 5. I'm not sure how often other patrons frequent the establishment, but the staff/mgt should recognize someone who comes often and act accordingly. That's my only feedback. Otherwise, I love it!

In 2024, I went here 6 times. In 2025, I was there every month! You can never go wrong with Rumi's Kitchen. If you want fancy Mediterranean food, this is the place you come to. This is place you dream about coming. Pro tip- always order family style. For appetizers: Crispy Potatoes with Radicchio, Mirza Ghasemi, Kashk Badenjoon. All three are amazing but the potatoes, stole the show. For mains: their Chilean See Bass- this is why you come here. When I had it back in 2024 the fish was huge. However, the size has shrunk but its still packed with flavor. Lots of flavor. Their koobideh kabob was full of flavor. Highly recommend getting this too. Each time I have gone, the service has also great. Excellent crew. read more

Wow, my recent experience at Rumis Kitchen was excellent! All the food items including the hummus, flat bread, corn ribs, and hangar steak were absolutely delicious! To top it off, their coffee was good too. The big draw for this restaurant is the ambiance. It is beautiful inside and quite fancy for those who value that kind of stuff. Definitely a top notch date spot. I happened to go for a business lunch and it was perfect. It was in the middle of the week so it wasn't crowded and very easy to have a conversation. Our waiter was excellent and very professional. The parking isn't as bad as one might think given the location. There is a garage (and valet option too) with plenty of space, and the parking spaces aren't tight. All in all, it was a great experience. If you're willing to spend $50 a person on lunch for business meetings and special occasions here and there, this place is great! read more
