This is the best brunch we’ve had in Rochester! The location is super convenient in the middle of downtown. The restaurant is clean and the seating and bar areas are beautiful. We got the Turkish coffee, sujuk eggs Benedict, strawberry dulce de leche crepes, and kavurmi yumurta and all were fantastic. They bake their bread fresh as you order. The service was also perfect. Highly recommend.

Walking in the first impression is striking. The ceilings are incredibly high and the lights feel like stars in the sky against the dark ceiling. There is lush rust colored velvet booth-like seating on either side of the doors and a very welcoming bar with multiple screens and marbling that is lit from within. The high chairs in the high top tables are beautiful rich green in contrast to the blues and the rustic orange.
We were very warmly greeted by Fatima and seated immediately with thoughtfulness. We knew this was one of the top best restaurants in Minneapolis and it was easy to see why. Service by Sherwan was attentive and prompt — quiet and graciously smiling. He answered our questions about Sujuk — a spicy beef sausage we had not tried before.
I had the Sujuk eggs Benedict and my friend had the Shashuka. The flavors were outstanding harmony with the bread and the fresh vegetables that accompanied. I also had the Turkish coffee which came out beautifully presented. Everything was plated incredibly well and the price is $13 for the Benedict and $13 for the Shashuka were very reasonable. Lunch and dinner dishes are a little more expensive but based on what we saw: equally rich in flavor and lavishly beautiful.
The view from the window was probably the most appreciated especially as the snow started to come down. This was a very wonderful and memorable dining experience.

Okay but WHY did this place feel like we were transported straight out of Minnesota and dropped into a cozy corner of Istanbul? ✨
I had been craving real-deal Turkish / Middle Eastern / Persian flavors (the kind that make you close your eyes mid-bite ) and LUMI in Rochester absolutely delivered.
From the second we walked in, the vibe was on point. Warm velvet booths. Moody lighting. That subtle hum of conversation. It felt elevated but still welcoming – not stuffy, not overdone. Just cool.
We ordered a mix because obviously I cannot go somewhere like this and not sample everything.
The savory dishes? Authentic, layered, rich without being heavy. The kind of flavors that feel intentional and soulful.
My 13-year-old (who normally leans Lebanese when we go Middle Eastern) somehow lucked into a chicken Alfredo situation that was shockingly good. Like… creamy, comforting, but still elevated. Not your basic chain-restaurant version. She was thrilled.
But the moment. The real moment.
The rice pudding.
Served warm in a traditional clay dish with that lightly caramelized top and a generous shower of crushed pistachios. It wasn’t overly sweet just silky, nutty, comforting perfection. The kind of dessert that makes you slow down and savor.
And can we talk about the borek situation with the yogurt sauce? Flaky. Savory. Balanced. I could have eaten that entire tray and called it a day.
This place isn’t just “good for Rochester.”
It’s just good. Period.
If you’re anywhere near Rochester and you love bold, authentic Mediterranean / Middle Eastern flavors with a stylish, intimate atmosphere, go.
10/10. Would absolutely drive back for that rice pudding alone.
And honestly? Bringing my teenager and having her love it too? That might be the biggest review of all.

Incredible food, incredible service. This was the best restaurant we ate at during our trip to Rochester. Everything was delicious and fresh. If you’re ever in the area definitely stop by, you won’t regret it.

Visited during Restaurant Week and tried the Lahmacun and the Gratin with Meat and Vegetables. The food was phenomenal and beautifully done.
The service, however, was very disappointing. We had to serve our own water by grabbing a pitcher from a nearby table and still felt unattended. With only four people total in the restaurant, the lack of service was hard to understand. Great food, but the service really detracted from the experience.

What a hidden gem this place is! Our waitress was so kind and helped walk through the menu. The food – we finished it all. The lamb shank filled my taste buds with joy. It fell off the bone and the brussel sprouts.. job well done. We will be back. Side note: the bathrooms were so clean. lol

We’ve come here several times and we always enjoy the flavor and freshness of the food, this time we ordered many dishes that can barely remember but the “humus” is really amazing! Oh and I got a Turkish tea pretty good
I will definitely come back… i highly recommend this place!

This place is amazing. I’ve been twice and both times were consistently good. I went with 10 people the first time and every single person enjoyed what they ordered. I have never had Turkish food before but I am a fan now!

We sat outside in the patio and it was beautiful. The service was excellent, very kind, and the patio was dog friendly. The waiter was very kind, and helpful. The food was delicious and so flavorful. They brought us some tea to end the meal that was really yummy. We will definitely go again!

When we travel we enjoy trying new and different foods. We stopped at Lumi to experience Turkish food for breakfast. I enjoyed my first cup of Turkish Coffee and a Sujuk (Turkish Sausage) and egg skillet. It was delicious. The server was very nice and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. She was able to give descriptions and references to help you make your meal choice. A great overall experience!
