Rumi

Romantic little spot. If you get a chance to try the rice it is a must! Very very light. The food overall was really well cooked and presented. Definitely will be heading back soon!

Loved the generous food portions and light fluffy rice. Not too crowded or loud. Food came fast. Overall excellent food and experience worth having.

I happened across Rumi because the restaurant interior was striking, ornate, exotic and beautiful from the outside and it drew me in. I was excited to try Persian cuisine for the first time and the waiter/Manager was very attentive and prompt in his service. Their menu is accompanied with a picture book so you can what each dish looks like and the history of this gorgeous family restaurant is elaborated.

To begin with, I tried the Kashk Bademjan which was an eggplant mint and onion dip served with Persian bread and it was very pleasant. My main was the Zereshk Polo, slow cooked marinated chicken leg served in Persian rice with a crisp salad and a spiced gravy and barberries. This dish was lovely and had a homely feel to it and the barberries were a stand out.

As an introduction to Persian food, I highly recommend Rumi!

Good food and quality. Dessert is made from scratch at the restaurant. It's very tight and can get loud in there. Otherwise authentic Persian flavors.

This is not problem at Rumi as Reza's Mum is head chef and, judging by the stream of Iranian's turning up for takeaways, she's doing the business. Having been lucky enough to dine extensively across the Middle East, both in homes and restaurants, I highly recommend Rumi.
