The food is amazing. Rumi’s is my new fav in DC. The service was very good. They didn’t miss a thing. I didn’t appreciate a head nod when I thanked our server for water, etc. that is not a proper response.

I like the breakfast menu more than the lunch menu. Other than that, a good place to have conversation and easy to make a reservation.

I love the selection of dishes at True Food. I like to eat vegetarian, which isn’t so easy at most restaurants. It is at True Food. I got the Ancient Grains bowl and added tofu. There were other protein options available. My friend and I shared the charred cauliflower appetizer. Everything was delicious. Service was outstanding. It is a bit noisy—high ceilings and noisy fans going, but our overall experience was very positive.
