"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." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"Rumi’s Kitchen in Colony Square delivers a polished, elevated experience that still feels relaxed enough that no one will judge you for wearing your New Balance 990s. The sleek Persian restaurant is spacious, and most plates are shareable, so it works well for big crews, graduation celebrations, or finals week support groups . Start with a smooth hummus spread and warm flatbread, then dive into standout plates like chicken kabobs or sea bass with saffron basmati rice." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder
"Rumi’s Wings have a fan base of their own. Though not available at every location, the Sandy Springs Rumi’s has flame-grilled wings with spicy lemon and saffron and a house-made guajillo hot sauce. The tangy, fiery wings at $15 are hard to put down. Pair them with labne to cool off the heat." - Mike Jordan
"You can pay to park at Colony Square to eat at Rumi’s Kitchen or you can park for free and make a day of exploring and shopping in the ritzy Avalon development. While the Sandy Springs location is under renovation until summer, this OTP outpost feels like the move, especially with the roll-out of exclusive items like the charred tomato labne. The badenjoon stew, juicy chicken barg, and lamb kebab are easy choices but don’t miss the shirin. It’s sweet with orange zest and barberry and nutty with pistachio and almond — an unforgettable rice dish you’ll want to make a main." - Alex Leo-Guerra
"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
