    As always, service is above and beyond, the food excellent. They took extra care to exchange a meal that our 12 year old didn’t like for one that he loved. The Sandy Springs location is always an exceptional experience, thank you!

    Coming to Atlanta, we were overwhelmed by restaurant choices. Told that Rumi’s Kitchen was not to be missed- we made reservations. The entire experience was amazing. Running late due to traffic, the hostess was accommodating when we called to inform her. Kristine deserves server of the year award! From menu choices ( she was so knowledgeable) to understanding our dietary needs- to helping us navigate the neighborhood- she did everything with a cheerful attitude and helpful demeaner. The food was unique and delicious! Would certainly recommend and can’t wait to return!

    Rina is a wonderful find in the Atlanta area. The whole atmosphere is beautiful and very cozy. The food is incredible - I'm obsessed with their falafel, hummus and pita, though everything else I had was also really, really good. I HIGHLY recommend checking out Rina!
