   We had an incredible experience at Rumi’s Kitchen DC (our favorite Rumi’s location!). Our server, Saniyaa, was absolutely fantastic—so warm, friendly, and professional. Her kindness truly elevated our evening. Every dish and drink we tried was phenomenal. My husband couldn’t stop talking about how excited he is to visit again. Thanks for such a great experience!

   We had a 7:30 reservation for 8 I had made months in advance. We didn’t get seated until 8. Not acceptable. The GM did come to the table and apologize and brought us a bottle of champagne which was a nice gesture. However, I got home and looked at the receipt and not only did they tax me on the champagne that was comped but they took the 20% gratuity also out of the total which included the champagne cost. Not good practice and I will be calling the GM about it. We love Rumi’s and have been there a dozen times. This just doesn’t sit well with me. If it’s a system issue, it really needs to be looked at. Don’t bring a complementary champagne bottle and then tax and tip on it.

   Wonderful experience for my boyfriends birthday. The food was delicious! We ordered the rack of lamb in which was cooked to perfection at medium rare. Our waitress kept our dinner paced properly, checked in appropriately and truly enhanced our dining experience and we will be back!

    Excellent Persian food at Rumi’s. We enjoyed the olives, dolmeh, and kale grapefruit salad as appetizers and had the lamb shank, Chilean sea bass, and hangar steak for dinner. The baklava and faloude were so good!
