   Food was delicious. Seating was awful— changed from the covered outdoor area to an inside table. The table was RIGHT NEXT TO THE PATIO DOOR. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACEMENT. I froze.

   I usually get the chicken kabob and I love it. However, last night it was not as juicy as usual.

   Our reservation was made for 7:45pm. We were seated at 8:20pm. We there was not much of waiting area, and the bar was also packed. Luckily the weather was nice enough to wait outside, but the Very Long Wait made us contemplate whether it was worth it to keep our reservation.

    Service was amazing - food a delight - we’re vegetarian, so only ate from “tasting” menu, but all excellent, flavorful, unique. Ambience a bit noisy and dim, but ok

    Such a nice addition to the DC dining scene. We sat in the enclosed, heated annex, and it was just as enticing as the interior. Food was unique and delicious--my duck stew had a very fruity sauce--the service was warm and responsive.

    I do not understand why I am charged when I substitute the pared rice for another rice. The rice that is pared with fish is not my favorite. This is my 5th visit. Charging me to substitute the rice maybe a deal breaker.

    Rumi’s was amazing! The food was so delicious and full of flavor and the drinks were really good! Staff was friendly and helpful. They really cater to you and your needs. I highly recommend reserving your table ahead time because it gets packed quickly because how great the food, drinks , service and ambiance is. The only thing that I didn’t like is that even though we made a reservation, and got there ahead of time we still had to wait a bit before we were seated due to no tables being available at that moment. They do do their best to accommodate you as soon as they can if you have a reservation, you get first dibs on the seating. Compared to if you were a walk-in , you would have to wait 2hrs or more. Overall , great first experience at Rumi’s Kitchen and i will definitely be back!

    Overall food was delicious. The main course portion is very big, especially side dish. Lots of rice … no need to have big portions for main courses, since its very delicious appetizers!! Lamb kabob was not up to standard, not juicy, not tasty. Duck confit was really good! Drinks - i had marvelous gimlet!!

    We love Rumi’s — Every year when we visit DC was visit. Wait staff is always great and food is delicious. Hummus is perfect with the warm bread. My husband ordered the lamb rack and it was perfectly cooked. I ordered the vegetable kabobs and they were excellent. The saffron rice is always delicious. They also easily made my non/drinking husband a non-alcoholic drink similar to my cocktail. This is often a difficult find for a non drinker and he said it was great. The baklava alone is worth visiting. Our waitress brought us extra knives to cut it with without us even asking. We will be back again next January!

    My fav restaurant in dc! The food is spectacular, they are generous with portions, free water, unlimited warm bread and 'sabzi' to accompany, excellent informed staff, warm ambiance (we sat in the heated patio), beautiful serving plates. The Dolma, duck fessenjoon, chicken brac, lamb kabobs, and cardamom cake are MUSTS. LOVE Rumi's.

    This was our forth time at Rumi’s The quality of the food and service has gone down, the service was bad ! We were there around 2 pm. It was dark and cold. We I mentioned to the manager her reply was “since the have a grille it’s cold there”!!!!! Also they didn’t bring the appetizers for the next table and they were not happy either ! Not sure if I would go back there .
