Creative Persian cuisine is offered in a contemporary space with an outdoor patio

A true embodiment of authentic Persian cuisine, Rumi's Kitchen has always been my favorite restaurant since my tastebuds first sensed them. The experience is always 10/10 ⏤ from being greeted by the friendly staff, sitting down in a relaxing ambience, to being served fresh delicious food of the best quality and quantity ⏤ Rumi's is a creative craft of its own.
Is your mouth watering yet?
When you're seated, your friendly server will bring you sabzi (bottom middle picture). It's a common side dish in;
Iranian cuisines
Consisting of fresh mint
Watercress, radishes
Feta cheese
Walnuts
Olives
Tarragon
It is delicious beyond words. You can make mini roll-up bites by spreading some feta cheese on the pita bread, then topping with whatever you please (I put everything on mine). The entree section is summed of mainly of kebabs: shrimp; three variations of chicken; four cuts of beef (filet mignon, sirloin, tenderloin, and ground chuck); and lamb either ground or in chops. All come with a bed of fluffy rice—some plain basmati, some sprinkled with fava beans and dill, lentils or raisins, or dried barberries. Additionally, the entrees come with a mouth-watering, explosion of the juicy goodness of a big roasted tomato. You can sprinkle sumac over your rice or over your entire meal (what I do) and get a side of yoghurt dip and you are set for your tastebuds to thank you!
⏤ Menu:

⏤ Nora's Go-To Order:
✕ CHICKEN BARG KABOB WITH BASMATI RICE
✕ SIDE OF ALBALOO (sour cherry rice)
✕ SIDE OF RUMI'S YOGURT
Note: if you've never tried Albaloo (sour cherry rice)⏤do so ASAP. You're welcome.
There are currently two locations in Georgia and another one being built in Midtown. The one I frequent most is in Alpharetta at the Avalon. Every experience at Rumi's is always pleasant and welcoming.
If you're ever in the mood for some exotic cuisine, GO HERE! You won't regret it! Don't forget to share your feast with The Biters! We wanna know what you think.
