I had a wonderful experience during my first time dining here. Christina and Nathan gave us great recommendations.
My favorite dishes:
– Lamb merguez
– Roasted cauliflower
– Kashk badenjoon
– American wagyu kabob
– Chilean sea bass
– Majoon toffee cake

The service was amazing. Our servers were very attentive to our needs and bussers were very quick to clean our tables between dishes. We also accidentally spilled sauce on a shirt and the management team were able to provide us a tide pen.

This was a great introduction to Persian food with an amazing staff. Will definitely come again!

I came here for the first time for a galentines dinner and it was such a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious, I had the lamb ribs and labneh charred tomato, the flavor was amazing. I also had the sea bass and it was so buttery and flavorful. For the dessert they were serving a date cake and it has now become a favorite dessert of mine! The cocktails were also superb we took our waitress’s recommendation and it lived up to my expectations. Can’t wait to come back here again!

We had an absolutely incredible dining experience at Rumi’s Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every dish we tried was flavorful and beautifully presented — truly a standout spot for Persian/Mediterranean cuisine in Houston.
The service was exceptional; our server Berke was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations and ensuring our evening was perfect.
We can’t wait to come back again soon! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch meal and standout hospitality.

Excellent restaurant to enjoy with family. The service and ambiance are impeccably crafted to be fast and efficient while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere. The food is amazingly seasoned and cooked to perfection, especially the chilean sea bass, lamb rack, and kebab. Cant forget how delicious the roasted cauliflower, roasted cremini mushroom, mirza ghasemi, and especially the labne charred tomato dishes were too. All perfectly cooked to bring out their natural flavors and elevate them to well balanced flavors. Definitely 10/10 would recommend! Chilean sea bass most of all, its like butter every bite from their marinade, so good.

Our waitress Emily was very sweet and made great recommendations. Beautiful restaurant – so classy and romantic. Everything we ordered was amazing. Despite being New Years Eve, they still had happy hour. Happy Hour was so good and they gave so much food that we were too full for main course (the main courses on other tables looked great- next time!!). Would definitely recommend !!!

Finally got to try Rumi’s brunch and it was fantastic. The Iranish coffee and breakfast martini were standouts — the perfect morning combo.

Our server was truly wonderful, but the kitchen was slower than expected; everyone at my table received their entrées before I got my kibbeh nayyeh (which is a raw dish, lol).

That said, our table also ordered the Persian omelette and sujuk, which were both fabulous, and I have to emphasize: the bread was amazing.

The cocktails, flavors, and overall atmosphere more than made up for the wait. I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely love Rumi’s Kitchen! The food here is consistently amazing – every dish is flavorful and beautifully presented, making it one of my favorite spots in Houston. Service is friendly, attentive, and adds to the overall great experience.

Their Happy Hour (4–6 pm) is a real highlight; the drinks are creative and delicious. Highly recommend the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned (a fantastic tequila twist) and the Paper Plane for something refreshing and balanced.

For food, the lahamacun (flatbread) is a must-try and pairs perfectly with the cocktails. Great vibes, excellent food, and top-notch service – a must-visit!

Saturday 1/24/2026 right before the ice storm for a late lunch… Brianna was fabulous.
For appetizers I falafel, lamb ribs, charred tomato labne, and lahmacun. Everything was 10/10 only suggestion is to have a lahmacun bread much thinner.
For entrees i ordered koobideh, roasted salmon and gheimeh… everything was 10/10. Amazing place! anyone rating this place less than 4 star please go get a job cook your own meals.
Waiting 30 min for a table shouldn’t be a concern, start going to a fast food place.

We had one of the best evenings out for dinner in Houston Post Oak area at Rumi’s Kitchen. First the service is terrific, our waiter (TJ) was super nice, the shift mgr (Hunter) repeatedly came to our table to explain the variety of dishes. And even the manager (Amir K.) came by to welcome us.

We loaded up on appetizers knowing a couple (eg Lahmacun, Zaytun Parvardeh) and exploring some new ones (Kashk Badenjoon, they were all delicious and I’d specially recommend the Lahmacun. They even gave us complimentary appetizer that was Labne Charred Tomato that we wouldn’t have tried but now on going back we will.

For main course we ordered the American Wagyu Zabuton Kabob and Soltani kabob with chicken and beef. For sides we had the regular and Shirin rice.

These entrees were fantastic, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The wagyu beef medallions were our favorite followed by the Shirin rice, all was great but these items were our favorite.

Though we didn’t have space in our stomach, but since we were celebrating a birthday we got Persian ice cream, very light with flavor of vanilla, rose water and zaffron in a wafer sandwich. And then we got a new dessert that’s not on the menu (so I forgot the name), it was a date cake (served warm) in some gelatinous pistachio flavored covering served with a scoop of vanilla flavored ice cream.

Total food coma.

On the hour long drive back to home we were just raving about the food.

I’d highly recommend and would definitely go back.

Thank you Amir, Hunter and TJ – you made our special evening very memorable, thank you

The best food I have eaten in long time and I’m a foodie! The Dutch Baby with the crème fraîche and those cherries… Melted in my mouth. The Shakshuka was cooked perfectly runny eggs with the pita to soak up all the extra yumminess…delicious brunch our waiter added so much to the experience Berke explaining how to eat all the items and perfect suggestions! I would give 100 stars if I could!
