Rumi's Kitchen Colony Square

"Persian restaurant Rumi’s Kitchen in Colony Square is a place where dim lights meet big decisions—it works for wooing dates over dinner or wrangling the C-suite for lunch. The roasted crimini and oyster mushroom hummus is creamy, earthy, and a wise starter. The herb-flecked Chilean sea bass lounges on a fragrant bed of saffron basmati and is a great happy distraction for closing deals." - jacinta howard, juli horsford

"Rumi’s Kitchen, a Persian restaurant in Colony Square is the place to bring a date for a mood-setting dinner. Stone walls, plants, and dramatic curtains make for a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere. This place also works as a big group outing since the shareable plates here are fantastic, like the tasty hummus spread that you can dip into fresh baked flatbread, the chicken kabobs marinated in a lemon saffron brine, or the flaky sea bass with basmati rice.

"Olu: “It has a cool Mediterranean kind of vibe. I feel like I’m being really served by people who care about culture and family atmosphere. You know, sometimes you go to restaurants and it's just like, ’Here's your food.’ But I feel like I’m being invited into someone's larger home [when I’m there].” " - jacinta howard

"After hanging out at the High Museum or leaving a Midtown meeting, head to Rumi's Kitchen in Colony Square.

Start with one of the tasty hummus spreads that you can dip into with their fresh baked flatbread before venturing on to their delicious, shareable plates like flavorful chicken kabobs and tender sea bass with basmati rice. Food Rundown Roasted Crimini & Oyster Mushroom This roasted crimini and oyster mushroom hummus is earthy and creamy. It's the best hummus option on the menu. Badenjonn Kashk This is a Persian eggplant dish that's both comforting and camera-ready. Tangy whey and crispy onions elevate this smoky spread. Sea Bass If you're looking for a dish to make you forget about boring fish dinners, this is it. Herb-flecked Chilean sea bass lounges on a fragrant bed of saffron basmati. Handsom Lion This cocktail is strong, citrusy, and pleasantly spicy. The grapefruit and lemon brighten the bourbon's warmth, and the amer rumi liqueur and pimiento dram add depths of bitterness and heat." - Jacinta Howard
