Truly delicious food in lovely setting. Enjoyed a leisurely lunch. The tables are a bit too close to one another, so when they fill up, you can find yourself bumping into (or getting bumped by) fellow diners. You might expect this at a popular (for good reason) restaurant, but at times it disrupts an otherwise lovely experience. This also leads to servers being a bit over taxed by having to tend to too many customers at once, and we had to ask multiple times for drink refills or missing cutlery. To be fair, this was not the fault of the server, just the nature of the situation. Highly recommend Rumi’s Kitchen, though sharing these experiences in case it helps others know what to expect during peaks hours when the restaurant is full.

This is an old favorite for us. The food is always great and so is the service. The only problem was that they were out of several dishes that we tried to order. Still, they were accommodating and pleasant.
