Rumi's Kitchen Colony Square

My friends and I went to Rumi’s for dinner on Valentine’s Day night during my bestie’s bachelorette weekend in Atlanta. We had a 6pm reservation and it was so busy when we got there. A popular spot for Valentine’s Day! While the evening did not start out great since we ended up with a 30 minute wait and was not given any kinds of updates until our bride had to go talk to the manager, they really made it up to us by giving us a discount for our meal and checking in so much throughout the night. That was very kind! Our server was wonderful and was so helpful in giving us suggestions and answering all of our questions. We ended up getting our meal family style, as was the recommendation from our server, which was definitely the way to go for the group of 7 of us! We ordered the Lamb Rack, Chi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rumi’s Kitchen in Alpharetta is truly a five star experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is vibrant yet upscale, making it perfect for both a special night out and a relaxed dinner with friends. The design is beautiful, warm lighting, elegant décor, and a lively energy that makes the entire space feel welcoming. The food is outstanding. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The kabobs are perfectly cooked and incredibly tender, and the saffron rice is some of the best I have ever had. The appetizers and spreads are just as impressive and ideal for sharing. You can tell that a great deal of care goes into both the ingredients and preparation. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. The staff took time to make recommendations and e

I came here for my birthday. I absolutely loved every part of this restaurant. The fine dining has the most amazing architecture through the decor, the food was immaculate with flavor, including the Persian ice cream sandwich, it was very delicious. Also, I can’t forget to mention the server Carlos, he was absolutely sweet and generous. I loved that he made my dining experience enjoyable by including my friend pieces to enjoy the ice cream sandwich. I’ll definitely be back.

The service and atmosphere was great, but the food was just ok. The duck had no duck flavor, and the only thing you could taste was the sweet jam. The chicken kebabs were decent but the marinade was just ok flavor wise. The saffron ice cream was definitely unique, but I wouldn’t exactly recommend it. Overall, a nice restaraunt but the flavors of some of the dishes left more to be desired.

I visited in December 2025 to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and we had a wonderful experience. Largely thanks to our server, Hamza. He made my mom feel truly special, offered excellent recommendations, and most importantly, was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly throughout our visit. His service made our celebration even more enjoyable. We started with the Roasted Crimini & Oyster Mushroom Hummus, which was packed with flavor — rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. For our main courses, we ordered the Roasted Salmon with herb basmati rice (the chef recommends it cooked medium), and it was perfectly prepared — moist, flavorful, and not dry at all. Hamza also introduced us to sumac spice, which he described as similar to salt. Adding it to the dishes enhanced the flavors even mor
