We've been here multiple times now. They have great service and the food is very good and authentic!

Food was good lots of rice. The baklava was different from any baklava we've had we were not fans but that's just our preference. We called to place a pick up order. read more

The food is amazing I'm from Los Angeles and this place can definitely compete with some of the best in LA! Service is great they take good care of the customers and are very nice. The ambiance is clean and comfortable good for family dining or for big parties they have some big tables as well... but the food once again is amazing best I have had since moving to corona! read more

"اینها از "سرویس بویی نبردند. These guys have no CLUE what service is and what it means. Poor reception and worse service. Look elsewhere. This is not worth it 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

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

I recently moved to this area. Delicious Persian food. The service was excellent. It's a very nice restaurant and I will definitely be returning here. Thank you yelp and thank you Rumi read more

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

Rumi's Restaurant - Expensive $20+ salad - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Corona, California

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

Amazing food! The young Lady that assisted me was very sweet, the place is very authentic and well worth the dive to visit Great selection of food items to choose from Delicious read more

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

I went with my SO. It was our first time having Persian food. It was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. I had the beef koobideh because someone recommended it. It was really well seasoned and had a great char on it. It was great and is a fantastic choice if you like beef or are worried about trying something too adventurous. It's similar to a really good Salisbury steak without the gravy, but better. My SO had the boneless lamb and we've never had such perfectly cooked and seasoned lamb before. She got it medium rare and they cooked it to perfection. We also tried their hummus and it was wonderful. 10 out of 10, we'll be back. read more

They have Corona, Bud Light, Stella, and Heineken. Check in on Yelp for free cold appetizer. The complimentary tortilla-like flat bread with sides of butter that is served when you're first seated is nice (especially since the food takes a little while to be made). The combos starting at $33.99 for two people is a good amount of food. read more

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

I ordered this place on door dash. It was extremely disappointing. One meal $35 through door dash. I ordered boneless chicken and it is not chicken breast as the description explains it, it is in fact either leg or thigh and questionable if cooked throughout. The rice was the worse rice I've ever had. Tasted like plastic and had a very strange smell. Couldn't choke down 2 bites. The shirazi salad was literally only cucumber, tomato and onion, no seasonings, not even parsley, no flavor! My opinion would be to not go here. Again, just my opinion but don't say someone didn't warn you. Trashed my meal. Waste of money. read more

A nice Persian restaurant in Corona. Located in a strip mall on Main just a little off the 91. Nice clean decor and quick service. Very reasonable prices and large portions. Will definitely come back if I was craving Persian food. read more

Rumi's Restaurant - Fine Persian cuisine - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Corona, California

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.

Food has been consistent for over ten years. They've never disappointed me with their food, accuracy or wait time. Will gladly continue to give them my business. read more

Fantastic food!! Been there twice and not addicted to their rice with dates and raisins. That rice does not disappoint!!! The chicken is fabulous as well. Sometimes the service is a little slow but if you have time, a visit is well with it!! The other thing I noticed is most people prefer to go!!! I might try that next time. read more

I'm usually a prolific reviewer but I'm going to keep this one short and straight to the point. Food is 4-5 stars. I've lived in Irvine for several years and grew up close to Glendale. So I have exposure to some really good Persian food. Food here is legit. Koobideh is juicy, barberries in the rice are tart. Rice is buttery. Portions are generous. Salads and yogurt taste fresh. It's really nice knowing I can get my fix even out here in Corona. But what is a total bummer is the service. Workers (other than the chef) gets 1-2 stars, bringing the average down to 3. The servers and cashier dude is dour, unfriendly, act annoyed, and will forget items when you're picking up. And their food ain't cheap so you gotta count your items folks. Don't let them short you. Wish I still lived near Hen House (amazing people and owners) or Raffi's. read more

The chicken kabob was so tender and flavored and the rice and the barley soup. Really good

They have the best Persian food. Especially the eggplant dish. They give you a lot of food, they are not skimpy on their food portions. Kabobs are good too. read more

The food is very good, truly enjoyed the kebab, green rice, and the cucumber salad, the service was also good.

One of my favorite spots when in the IE!!! Everything always fresh! Place always super clean. Service always amazing. When I worked at riverside kia I would eat here 2-3 times a weeks!! Rumi 3 is my fav combo. Mast musir is a must!! Fesinjoon on crispy rice duhhhh The salad is amazing also. Everything is If I'm ever in the IE I'll be back for sure read more

This place is truly amazing, service and ambiance is incredible. The food was delicious, definitely try the Dolmeh as appetizers and then the koobideh and shis kabobs. The kabobs are like butter they melt in your mouth. For dessert definitely try the saffron ice cream. Definitely try the place if you're in Corona,Ca. read more

We came here for Mother's Day lunch and had a really delicious meal. Service from Farah was great as she was always checking on us and always had a smile. We definitely will be back. read more

This is like my 5th time back at Rumi's and it never disappoints. I've tried several items and all delicious but my absolute favorite is the juicy chicken kabob and rice, it's the best, most flavorful, juicy chicken I have ever had in my life!!! And I tried several from different parts of the world. 10 out of 10! read more

Being generous with 1 considering the prices especially quality of food and service. $16 Vegetarian Gheymeh Bademjan/ eggplant & yellow split peas stew. Eggplant in tomato sauce, split peas which were very Al Dente undercooked with Basmati Rice. Really not very good, no flavor And was told this was a great vegetarian dish $26 White fish Kabob was more yellow, very dry and tasted fishy the inside was grey and pink. We had to return the fish and my wife just ate the salad and rice. $24 Shrimp Shish Kabob was chewy and overcooked. To top it off there were mosquitos everywhere, they were not very attentive roo busy talking to other people or friends and it took forever to get the food. Should have been a warning that the sign was broken in 2 places and hard to read. 1 star is for the water tastes clean, and for the hummus and bread being good. This is NOT a place to go for vegetarian or fish options or for good service and why Mosquitos inside? Like many next to the windows. Must have killed 5 waiting for our dinner. Kabob Crush is way better and not far from here but I was hoping to find a better place. Sometimes it doesn't go well but the cook on this night was terrible. read more

I've been craving kabob for a while. While my local place has its pros and cons, they do have some of the juiciest kabobs I've been able to find until now. Rumi's has, IMO, the best Persian food in the IE, and it's not just the mouth watering kabobs that will delight you. Their ambiance, service, and value are all on point. While other places may try and cut cost by reducing their operating overhead and skimping on food quantity. Rumi's really delivers when it comes to quality and quantity. I though the days were gone when you could get a kabob the length of your forearm for $15 but I was wrong. Their menu prices are not only pre-Bidenflation, the quantity of food you get is about 50% more (compared to my local joint) at equivalent price points. AND they have Bastani!  You get free refills on the Persian tea, so down as much as you like during your meal; they'll bring more with your Bastani. Did I mention they have Bastani?!? And they serve it proper...frozen solid into a brick of cream floral nutty goodness. read more

Rumi's Restaurant - Koobideh Combination Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Corona, California

Rumi'S by far is the best Persian restaurant in the inland empire. The quality of the food is nothing short than the best of the best every single time . Also extremely affordable read more

Outstanding authentic Persian food! Excellent service. I'm so glad we found this restaurant. We'll definitely be coming back.

The most tender kubideh kabobs in the Inland empire. I always get their #1 takeout special when I have family over. Its 3 kubideh seekh chicken and 3 beef with another seekh of chicken breast pieces and a big giant container of rice and bread for just 50 bucks. Really nice place. I try to come thru here as much as I can. There is a huge hall with plenty of tables and booths for family and friends groups or just couples. read more

The service was terrible. The servers looked angry and put out to be serving us. A customer that appeared to be a friend came in 15 minutes after us and got their food 15 minutes before us. We didn't get checked on or any refills of our drinks. The table was never cleared of any used dishes from appetizers. The atmosphere was pretty bad also. It was very hot in there. They were giving people what looked like used paper placemats for their tables. We were lucky enough to be sitting at a glass table so we didn't get the used paper placemats. We did though get dirty wrinkled paper menus. There were also two flies flying around. The food -- we were served warm pita bread with cold butter. But the pita bread was pretty good. Wish I could have spread my butter on it. But that's ok. I ordered the stuffed grape leaves. They were very bland and had a weird texture like they had been freezer burned and heated up. The main course was chicken kebabs with basmati rice and saffron. That was pretty good. It tasted fresh. The rice was actually excellent. My chicken was ok but my husbands was dry and had no flavor. Hard to eat without water since they never filled our glasses. Overall I would say if you want fresh food that is pretty expensive and it might be dry and bland then go ahead and get this for take out. But don't go and sit down to eat there. read more

I think their prices are a too high and they give a weird vibe at the front desk. The meat is very good quality and is very tasty though.

They are open for dine-in during this time. The restaurant may look like its close from the outside bc there aren't any lights but they're open HAHA their window's just heavily tinted. Place: Its very clean and they have sanitizers available once you enter. The servers are also wearing masks all the time. Plus they play really nice music inside, a mix of modern pop and french. (Hahaha ikr) Food: I recommend the Dolmeh!! Its minced meat, rice, and veggies wrapped in grape leaves, really good!! Also, their meat's very tender, I got the Beef Koobideh and its juicy. Their chicken isn't dry as well. I love that it's a little charged at the side. Overall, its 10/10. Would recommend!! read more

.For a dine in restaurant the presentation of food was very pathetic. For $21 meal we got two kebabs thrown on bland boiled rice. No salad , no dip, no pickles . When asked for it the server asked us to order separately . We wanted to give a chance to local place but it was a disappointing trip. read more

Very tasty food. Not a fan of Mediterranean food at most of the spots but their food was delicious. Service was friendly. Ambiance was just fine. Definitely returning. read more

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

Our experience was delightful. Thank you for wonderful food, and service. We are definitely coming back! One suggestion. I wish the daily specials were something we could either see online or more easily accessible. I know this would make me come more often if I knew what those were. More affordable for sure! read more

By far the best kebabs in California. My dad refuses to go to other restaurants when it comes to kebabs because he believes no one can beat this place and it's true. We've gotten catering from them several times and every single time the food was delicious and high quality. We only dined in one time but that experience was great as well. This restaurant deserves all the props. Everytime we serve their kebabs at parties everyone asks where we got them from, the absolute best. read more

The quality of the ingredients, coupled with the care and authenticity of the preparation, made the meal outstanding. The service was a bit lackluster, but the food more than made up for it. read more
