Rumi's Kitchen - DC Washington Reviews
Small, cozy interior.
Each dish is packed with flavor without ever feeling overpowering. The eggplant dip and the lamb were amazing, and the service was great as well!
A beautiful restaurant.
I visited with coworkers while attending an event in DC, and I'm glad we made reservations because we were seated right away. The service was excellent -- there were several staff members checking in on us, keeping our beverages filled, and maki
Rumi Kitchen was a good experience, the service was nice
Rumi Kitchen was a good experience, the service was nice and I ordered their chicken kebab! The food was good, and rice pilaf was excellent! I would recommend this place
Amazing service! Food was mediocre unfortunately.
I wouldn't go back. This place came highly recommended. It's a nice upscale place. The steak was very disappointing. The chicken wasn't as juicy as other Persian restaurants I've been to but if I did go back I'd definitely no

I'm sadly forced to replace my 5 star review after these years as I'm awfully disgusted by the food quality and am totally disappointed by the service. Second awful takeout experience in a row! Just assuming the curly human hair in my kabo

Ouuulalaaaa!!! Loveeed everything the food, service, ambiance was calm on a lunch day.
OMG! Everything in this resturant taste amazing.
Service amazing. I came from southern California with a lot of Persian restaurants. However, non of them is comparable with Rumi restaurant. I highly recommend going to the resturant if you are in Washington DC.
I honestly wanted to hate Rumi's Kitchen.
I'm just naturally anti-chain due to trying to support small business, but damn. It was good. Really good. I sat at the bar and the bartender was making drink after drink more perfect than the next. Honestly enough to compete with the cocktail e

This place is always packed.
Sure it's good for business, but I just want a seat to eat. Anyways the second time around did not disappoint. There was a table by the door. I told the hostess we can eat quick and she sat us immediately. Ordered the koobideh and barg kabo

Rumi is good, the food is fresh, my disappointment with them is that I ordered in advance and showed up to pick up my food about five minutes after it was supposed to be ready (I have to add that they were not crowded), first the hostess was not arou

We were visiting Washington DC.
We looked on yelp for a Persian food restaurant. We found Rumi restaurant. It was so good that we had to go there twice during our short visit. We had Ghormeh Sabzi stew with the yogurt duo the first night, amazing. The second night we had three appe

We came right around closing time but our server, Fahad still went above and beyond to go through the menu with us and answered all our questions. He did not rush us through and at the same time made sure we got everything we wanted before last call.

My favorite restaurant in DC! Everything from the food, drink to the service is great. The dolmas are some of the best in town and you can't go wrong with any entree! I highly recommend saving room for their desserts too.

As a Persian-American, I am so proud to have such a wonderful restaurant in town serving authentic Iranian cuisine. The ambiance is beautiful and welcoming, with tasteful ethnic décor that immediately sets the mood. We started with some appetizers
The food here is impressive and a real culinary delight.
From the initial complimentary appetizer of bread and little fixings to the main courses - everything was great! Tons of food too. Great for sharing. My only complaint was that the lamb was a bit dry, but maybe it just isn't for me! The duck ste
Insensitive to handicapped patrons’ needs
Another restaurant that is clueless with wheelchair-bound customers. Awkward, rude and insensitive staff. Tried to seat a party of five with a wheelchair at a four-top and then copped an attitude when we said the table was unacceptable. We won’t go
Rumi s kitchen experience in Atlanta

simply the best Persian return in outside Iran
Over three days we visited this restaurant twice and were lucky enough to taste their catered dinner at a friends house. The Kebabs are perfectly cooked on an open flame grill. The Persian steamed rice and tahdig (when available) is aromatic and fl
Awesome dining experience!
Great service plus delicious tasty creative dishes ! Attractive and comfortable surroundings. You must try the Creme Brulee for dessert!
Delicious.
Consistent. Relaxed. The rice with lentils and raisins...ALL the different rices. The lamb. The shrimp. The yogurts. Everything.
Close to 700 reviews and a 4.

Food always so good! Service is 50/50 chance of being really good or not good at all unfortunately. But the food is perfection every time!!
Food is great! Date night with a vegetarian;I am meat eater.
Good compromise. Both loved it. I'm going to steal some of their recipes or at least try them out. RICHARD HOOKED IT UP. He's on it and guide you well.

Best restaurant in Atlanta.
Best restaurant in atlanta! The food is consistently delicious! The service is always friendly. Kiera our server this last time went above and beyond. I highly recommend the fried eggplant appetizer, sea bass, shrimp kabob as well as the salmon.

Excellent Meal in a Very Busy Restaurant
This is one very busy restaurant (for good reason). We went on a Friday night and had a reservation and were seated immediately. By the time we left it was overflowing. I had the lamb kabob and it was cooked perfectly. All the food is fresh, the

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Rumi's Kitchen - DC Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Rumi's Kitchen - DC Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Rumi's Kitchen - DC Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Rumi's Kitchen - DC Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
