"The Houston locale of Atlanta’s opulent Persian restaurant Rumi’s Kitchen captures the warmth of a Persian home with its food and decor. Designed by the Johnson Studio, the buzzy, upscale restaurant, takes up 5,500 square feet in the Galleria area and features an open kitchen with a turquoise tile backdrop, a bespoke chandelier above the front bar, photographs by Iranian contemporary photographer Shadi Ghadirian, and 15 custom light fixtures that symbolize the skirt of a whirling dervish. Menu options include wagyu zabuton kabob, charred Chilean sea bass, kibbeh nayyeh, and corn ribs." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
