"Incoming kebabs Rumi’s Kitchen, one of Eater Atlanta’s 38 essential restaurants, plans to open its first location outside of Georgia in Northwest D.C. Washington Business Journal reports that the Persian restaurant from chef Ali Mesghali has secured a lease in the Douglas Development building at 655 New York Avenue NW. Eater Atlanta commends Rumi’s for “tight service” and recommends kebabs, lamb shank, and smoked eggplant." - Gabe Hiatt
