Great food in a good atmosphere! Definitely recommend. Even if you have never tried middle eastern food, there are plenty of great things to eat

We ran a little late but they still reserved our table. From entering the restaurant with smiling hosts to the awesome service and food I would definitely recommend Rumi's Kitchen. No fancy cold plated foods made with tweezers! Just good portioned delicious food. We started off with lamb hummus and their shrimp appetizers. Both were delicious. They also give us a small plate of feta, walnuts, mint, olives, etc and some pita bread. Also delicious. The entrees were excellent. We ordered Seabass and Shish Kabob. So good! But for the overall experience we give it a 10/10 because of the service. Our server Irving was one of the best! Very helpful with menu selections. Made my wife's birthday a great meal.

We enjoyed every aspect of our anniversary dinner this past Tuesday, and I cannot rave enough about the incredible experience! Despite it being a surprisingly busy night, the staff handled everything with grace and efficiency. We chose to sit at the bar, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. The bartender was an absolute rockstar--attentive, friendly, and skilled. They made excellent drink recommendations and mixed some of the best cocktails we've ever had. The food was phenomenal! It was not my first visit and every dish I've had has been beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen team puts a lot of thought and care into creating each plate. I know the chicken should be the star, but wow that rice is amazing!! What stood out most was how the bustling atmosphere only added to the charm of the evening. It's clear this restaurant is well-loved, and it's no surprise why! The energy was lively but still comfortable, and the team never missed a beat. I would recommend Rumi's in Avalon for amazing food, top-notch service, and a vibrant or a private dining experience!

Food is great! Service is great! The ambiance is loud but has a really chic vibe. Nice tables and settings, fancy decor, and they have a "private" room for parties- it's really just the back of the restaurant. You (generally speaking) need a reservation. However, if you have a small group (1-4) you might be able to get a table on a walk-in. It's ALWAYS best to make a reservation here though. They have $2 valet parking and heaters beside a couple of couches outside so that while you await them bringing your car back to the entrance, you can be comfortable. My mom got a chicken dish- really good. It was all in the bone, but the chicken was tender and had a ton of flavor. I had the Lamb Kubideh- perfectly cooked to a medium rare- so juicy! My sister got the beef skewers and my mom's boyfriend got the chicken skewers. Everything was delicious! The meats were juicy, tender, perfectly cooked, and all were served with perfectly steamed basmati rice (some with saffron some white- I requested all saffron). Since we also had the falafel and humasiya starters with pita bread, not a single one I'd use could finish our meals. We all took a second (leftover) meal home and everyone reported that the leftovers were fantastic too. My mom said that the chicken, which I de-boned for her, was maybe even better than when it came out originally. ‍ I figure that's on account of it being de-boned. I had a first date here once that earned me a second date. This place is great. Love Rumi's and hope that they always stick around! Only downside is that they are expensive. 4 people cost $200- 2 starters, 4 meals, 1 coffee.

If you're looking for an unforgettable Mediterranean dining experience, look no further than Rumis Kitchen at Avalon in Alpharetta! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere, beautiful decor, charming patio, stunning bar and attentive service set the tone for a perfect evening. The salmon was cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and paired with just the right blend of spices and sides. The chicken kebabs, lamb kebabs and veggie kebabs all hit the spot. Each dish we tried was showcasing fresh ingredients and authentic Mediterranean flavors. For appetizers we enjoy the hummus and Mirza. The desserts - Every single one was divine! From delicate baklava with ice cream to strawberry cake and other treats, we couldn't get enough. Each bite was a sweet escape, making it impossible to choose a favorite. Whether you're craving fresh seafood, traditional dishes, or indulgent desserts, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine!

Holy moley, what a place. I recommend EVERYone eat at this place at least once. Its an incredible menu of middle eastern cuisine at its finest. Smackdab in the middle of Alpharetta in Avalon. i could safely say that with the indoor and outdoor seating, this would be the best and busiest restaurant at Avalon.

Been here twice now... ambience is vibey, service is solid, cocktails and food are decent. My favorite dishes here are the lamb sausage hummus and the sea bass entree. Definitely try the orange pistachio rice if you can - very unique! The Kunefe dessert was pretty solid too. The chicken kebabs though were a tad disappointing.

I think I just don't like Avalon that much. Ungodly crowded no matter the time of day. Good food. Not enough space, way too cramped. We were basically sitting on top of people. I mean, do not go here if you're the least bit claustrophobic. Anyway, on to the food. The lamb hummus was delicious. My boyfriend got some type of stew and seemed to really enjoy it. The lebne with charred tomatoes was excellent and my favorite dish of the night. The crème brûlée was a horror show. Not crème brûlée at all, more like cinnamon pudding with burnt sugar on top. Drinks were ok, albeit weak.

I think it's official: Rumi's Kitchen is now my go-to spot for the perfect weekend dining experience! Seriously, where do I even begin? The entire meal was incredible, and it started with the atmosphere. I arrived just after the midday rush, which allowed me to enjoy a calm, relaxing environment at one of their cozy high-top tables. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed right from the start. They brought out some warm pita bread and a fresh salad as a starter, which set the tone for the meal. The pita was perfectly soft, and the salad was vibrant and refreshing, with just the right balance of flavors. I knew I wanted to branch out from my usual order and try something different this time, so I opted for the vegetable kabob--and wow, what a great choice! The kabob was packed with a variety of colorful, plump veggies, each grilled to perfection. The flavors were bold, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The vegetables practically burst with each bite, bringing a medley of smoky, earthy, and subtly spiced notes. Paired with the saffron rice, which was fluffy and infused with a rich, aromatic flavor, it was a perfect match. Despite feeling fully satisfied after the kabob, I saved just enough room to explore the dessert menu. The white chocolate cake immediately caught my eye; it sounded absolutely divine, and I just couldn't resist. Let me tell you, it was the best decision of the day. The cake was rich yet light, with a smooth, velvety texture and just the right amount of sweetness. It was beautifully presented, and each bite melted in my mouth, leaving a lingering hint of white chocolate. It was the perfect ending to a memorable meal. All in all, Rumi's Kitchen has officially become my favorite weekend spot. The combination of exceptional food, warm ambiance, and top-notch service makes it hard to beat. I already can't wait to come back next week and explore more of their amazing dishes! #ashsaidit

Food - delicious and savory, wish they gave more meat portions Service - our waiter kept spilling water every time he would refill our drinks cause he held it in a weird way. It made me feel very uneasy that it would slip from his hands and cause a big mess. Ambiance - beautiful interior, felt very lively and grand
