Decided to give thos place a try, we've been craving Mediterranean food. Walked in was greeted with friendly staff. Got seated, the brought us some warm lavash bread and butter. So delicious. I ordered a bakhtiari (half chicken and half filet mignon) with basmati rice. My husband ordered lamb koobideh. We also had two side orders of beef koobideh. Everything was so moist, well seasoned, and delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly. The service was amazing. We will definitely be back. read more

I always come here with family and it never disappoints. I've never ordered outside of my all time favorite, boneless chicken kabob. Make sure you mix the tomato and onions with the rice to get the full foodie experience! Things have slightly changed since the last time I've been there. The portions have shrunken through time and the dining areas had minor changes. Everyone was super nice. read more

Rumi's Restaurant - Boneless Chicken Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Corona, California

What can I say about this place. We were craving Iranian cuisine and randomly came across this gem. We went with low expectations as we have had very mixed experiences with a lot of Iranian restaurants... some turn out great and some leave us underwhelmed .. any how when we came we took the staff's recommendations.. we ordered their noodle soup and boi oh boi it was soo good.. warmth in a bowl. Followed by the main course .. we ordered their soltani platter, mixed plate koobedeh and salmon platter ... the barq in soltani was soft juicy and so well prepared coz normally it tends to get dry or chewy.. so we had chosen medium ... and it was amazing.. I chose their salmon platter as i was contemplating on white fish but i went as per staff recommendation.. even their mix koobedeh was delicious... it consists of one skewer of chicken and one beef.. not only is their food delicious their portions are very decent .. so much flavors .. we had no room for dessert so we skipped it .. they have a very cosy and neat ambiance.. nothing over the top neither basic.. just perfect.. and what can I say about their staff.. superb.. this has to be our goto place for Iranian cuisine.. by far it scores in all aspects... read more

Delicious Persian food in the Inland Empire! We've been coming here for years and it still is a go-to spot when we get the craving. Food sometimes takes awhile to prepare (20+ mins), but everything is so fresh and tasty when it arrives at the table. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Rumi's Restaurant - Juicy Chicken Kabob, Rumi's Salad, & Lubia Polo - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Corona, California

This was a great choice for a gathering with some friends. They made the most out of the space given. The restaurant was well kept and clean. Their hospitality was present from the start. The server was patient with us while we tried to figure out the menu. Most of us settled on the koobideh combo, which was what I ordered too. If you're unsure of what to order, that's the perfect entree because it gives you a little of everything. There was one string of chicken and one of beef koobideh. I went with the half rice half salad. Loved that they offered that option. The meats were flavorful and not too dry. The rice was nice and fluffy. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Oh and we had bread with hummus and eggplant dip as appetizers. read more

Huge thank you to the team here for helping us host a birthday dinner for my husband. Managing a table of 10 can't be easy, but they handled everything with such grace and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was a hit with everyone at the table! We really appreciate the restaurant going out of their way to accommodate us--it made for a very happy and stress-free celebration. read more

Food is what you hope and expect. Value was worth the portion sizes. Service was friendly and attentive. Came with the party of 7 for an early dinner. Would come back. read more

Really good food. Great customer services. I can say is the best so far for middle eastern food.

I ordered barg. They stated it was "our finest cut of charbroiled filet mignon." This is by no means filet mignon. This is skirt steak or carne asada. You don't get long fibers like these in filet mignon. Don't lie to customers. Just advertise what you're serving or serve what you're advertising. I took two bites and was done. read more

This place has some of the best and authentic Afghan food in the SoCal area, highly recommended

Great Persian food! Won't disappoint. I've liked everything I've eaten there. Very friendly staff. Nice ambience & decor. If you're in the area, check it out. Highly recommend! read more

5 of us went over there for lunch on Saturday, that was a bad choice? Food was sucks and very poor service And average ambiance ... we started with tahdieg as a appetizer but it was disappointing because it was very old and dry so they add so much juices from topping to make it softer (treble) 4 of us ordered koobideh and one boneless chicken They were so stingy kabob was very thin and short and burnt some part of it plus they give you half of small tomatoes and very dry and old rice. For one extra little tomato they charged us $1.00 like you pay per lbs But we been nice and no complaints and also we put nice tips. We're not going back and that's for sure. read more

This place is so incredible I could literally eat there everyday. I cook a lot at home and do pretty well but I couldn't do anything as close to these dishes. The hummus starter was excellent. We also had the eggplant baba ghanoush that I typically never eat. This time it looked so good because it had crispy thin sliced onion rings with roasted garlic on top. Oh my, it was the best. The show stopper, however, was the juicy chicken. That is the name of the dish. So incredibly good. This is what I could eat every single day. I want to try a salad next time. They all looked really delicious and refreshing. Super clean food. Highly recommend! Sorry, this is not the best picture. read more

Rumi's Restaurant - Juicy chicken. Incredible. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Corona, California

My wife and I tried Rumi's Restaurant for the first time tonight and we are so happy we did! We ordered via DoorDash, but my wife had an errand to run in the area and opted to swing by and pick it up. Our order was packaged perfectly and everything was delicious! We ordered the Chicken Breast Shish Kabob, Adas Polo (my absolute favorite Persian dish), and Hummus. The char on the chicken and veggies was so flavorful and the chicken that came with the Adas Polo was so tender and juicy. We will definitely be back for takeout and dine-in! My wife said the woman who greeted her and gave her our order was extremely sweet, which was even more so appreciated after a not so nice experience with customer service at the errand she ran prior to picking up our food. :) read more

underrated in my opinion! i love that this cozy spot exists in corona. you can come for a date night or family night or solo dining. hospitable staff who check in with you but let you eat in peace. clean and tidy inside, and appreciate the linens and marble tables. they start with lavash bread service with onions, butter, and sumac. we ordered a soup, salad with lamb koobideh, and i got the chicken and beef koobideh. it was plenty for 3 people and i just happened to be extra hungry otherwise we would have had leftovers. i'm a sucker for juicy koobideh and i knew lamb and beef we're going to hit the spot but do you know how hard it is to make chicken koobideh taste juicier than lamb?! what is this magic! absolutely enjoyed it. read more

This place is a joke... spent $65 for this? Two packets of sumac and this salad that costed me $4 MORE bc I asked for the shiraz salad instead of the regular one.. I would compare it to utenils yet they didnt provide any. Do nt go here. Just moved back and was suoerexcited to try places out but never again here. I literally asked if I could ahveoje extra side of the dressing and nope. Not even utensiles! I took a picture of a kid size spoon with the salad that I paid $4 extra (above the usual salad price ) either go to the panini Kabob grill and you will get teipe this or the kabob hut in Corona. I would drive the 30 minutes and it would feed me for the entire week for the same price as this joke.. and I tried the barley soup and it tastes like prison food from the movies. read more

Exceptional Persian cuisine. This place serves the best Persian food. So fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.

Food is amazing! Authentic and fresh! Service was good with a family ambiance. Will definitely be back!

Food taste good but flies all the time and place doesn't look like it's properly maintained and cleaned. Not going back

Good Persian food but customer service is a hit and miss. They have an excellent selection of options, including vegetarian. Prices are average and portions satisfy a single person. The lavash and basmati rice needs love. Every time I've had the tahdig, it tastes old. They also need to use better sumac. Khoresht is what Persians are known for so that's what you need to order. The fesenjon is my favorite. It's not too sweet and not too tangy, it's perfect. The gormeh sabzi is good but bland. My family ordered and enjoyed the lamb shank, chicken fesenjoon, and koobideh sandwich. The meat as tender and flavorful. read more

Food was solidly good and service was good. A pretty good experience altogether. This is not a chain, but clearly the owner knows his Persian food and the grilled meats and rice plates were very tasty. read more

If you're in the mood for some great Persian food, and live around the Corona area, Rumi's is worth a try. It's situated next to Betty Faye's restaurant, if you're not looking you might not see it as it's on the south side. There's both indoor and covered patio seating area, but on this weekend where we saw triple digit temps we were more than happy to dine indoors. We were greeted and seated promptly, it was a HOT this week and Labor Day weekend so luckily it wasn't busy. 4 of us ordered the beef koobideh and our son ordered the salmon. For appetizers we ordered their hummus and the burnt rice with a pomegranate sauce over it. The flat bread that accompanies the appetizers made eating the dishes easier to handle and shove in your mouth. Everything is made to order, so with 4 orders of the koobideh it took us around 10 minutes to get our dishes brought to our table which was fine with me as it gave us time to eat up the appetizers. Really enjoyed the beef koobideh, perfectly seasoned and with a healthy sprinkle of sumac over the meat and rice just enhanced the meal. Our son enjoyed his salmon dish as it looked equally delicious. Give it a go, they seem to do good takeout business as well, as we noticed a lot of people coming in to pickup their orders read more

Looks like a family run business to me. We just happened to pass by and saw this restaurant and since me and my wife are both hungry so we decided to give it a try. The place is small but very neat and clean. The food looks really good and taste amazing. Their price is not expensive at all and with the quality it's considered very reasonable. The servers are also very friendly. We love the place and will definitely come back again. read more

We found this delicious place by accident. Highly recommended. Short story, we were visiting the Mission Inn Christmas lights festival park, and we were looking for a place to have a date dinner night. We found a couple Italian places nearby, however, I was not impressed by the menus, nor prices for the quantity of food. We start looking for places a bit further and out of the area; we found Rumi's Restaurant. It's absolutely worth the drive. The food was amazing and absolutely fresh. The flavors were balanced and they complement each other. We got the small hen with bones and it comes with a side of your choice of rice and some chard veggies. We ordered the yellow rice with dates and herbs. The prices were reasonable and were just happy with about everything we ordered. Our server was polite and friendly. Also, they still do the welcoming butter and bread tradition which I was very happy to see. The bread was warm and yummy. For drinks we got the mint yogurt drink (Ayran) and it was really tasty. The atmosphere was quiet. It's family and friends friendly to have celebratory dinner or take your love one for a nice dinner night. When we visit SoCal again, we absolutely will visit again! read more

Delicious food and wonderful customer service. Owners are really nice and welcoming. Chicken barg entree was delicious!

Good food. Request for the yogurt dip with the bread. Food portion is good even for the lunch menu. Luna Grill and Pita Street alternative. Bring your empty stomach or bring a friend to share the food. Even better to have multiple friends, order different food, and share! read more

Never disappointed every time we get their food absolutely yummy. Always look forward to our next visit.

Door said opens at 11am, yelp says they open at 11:30am but I waited outside with an employee until 11:45am when I had to leave and use the restroom across the plaza at DDs. The customer service was non existent. He overcharged me and tried to apologize after he was not kind or friendly while I placed my order. I just left the cash on the table and walked out with my food because he was extremely unfriendly and unwelcoming. It was also really expensive for what you get; we ordered 3 salads, two with chicken and one with filet mignon that totaled about $52. It was a very unfortunate experience that I had to share with my family that I was visiting out there so they know that this is not a business we should support. Plenty of other Persian and Mediterranean restaurants with much better customer service that we can support. read more

Disgusting is the only word for Rumi's Restaurant in Corona because that's the only restaurant that I saw a flying cockroach there on their wall right behind my table while I was eating. I don't approve their food and their customer service but they should get a visit by Health Department for having cockroaches in their restaurant. Disgusting place read more

They are Afghans running an Iranian food restaurant. Their food is awful. Their tag dig is so hard that it's almost broke my teeth.
