Absolutely delicious!! Friendly service, food was amazing. We had the Lamb Shank. The meat was so tender it fell off the bone. The other plate was Tikka kebab and the meat was tender and well cooked. The salad is always fresh and the rice if seasoned to perfection. The flavors and spices are amazing. High recommend a must try!!

Rumi restaurant is truly a gem! The food is absolutely delicious, served fresh and in very generous portions. The service is warm and friendly. This restaurant should be somewhere to go to on repeat! The price is very good value. I give Rumi 5/5 +++

This was the second time that we tried rumi. The first one was last year in June, and the second one was much better than the first time. We ordered the dumplings and the chicken and the beef. Overall, the flavours were great. The rice was great with the sauce that came with the salads. The chicken was all right, but the beef was much better . The dumplings were great too. Toddler approved. Won’t be the last time we ordered from here.

What a pretty restaurant! I have always ubereats from this place and the food is amazing every single time. The chicken korma is cooked to perfection, the rice is very flavorful and the naans are soft! Very wholesome meal, full of warmth!

If you are on a rush, you can always grab the wraps! So delicious and filling! Chicken tandoori and kebab wraps are elite for sure!

Will come in for a dine in for sure! I was surprised to see how beautiful this place is! Good decor and super clean 🙂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An absolute delight on the palate. Our server kindly recommended the dumplings and lamb shank platters. They were both delicious served with bread which was a treat on its own. Pudding for dessert was light and creamy. I highly recommend this restaurant.
