We’ve had wonderful meals all over Europe and South America, and this restaurant experience was as good as any! From the lovely young woman who took our reservation, to our experienced and charming waiter Pedro to the lovely manager who checked on us, the dining was just fabulous.

Our Favorite Review:When you pull up to Rumi’s Kitchen they will valet your car which I enjoy because you don’t have to look for parking. Once you get out the car you walk right in to the host stand. My table wasn’t ready yet so I sat at the bar and ordered my first drink. It was nice and sweet exactly how I like my drinks. Once I sat down our waiter came right over. I enjoyed the herb plate and I got hummus to go with it. For an appetizer I got Rumi’s wings and baby they were delicious! I should’ve ordered another one. For my entree I got the sea bass because it said limited availability so I was intrigued. I would definitely come back and dine again. My overall experience was wonderful.

Our Favorite Review:Wide variety of endless meats to cook at the table.  Friendly staff, make sure you get there early or you’ll likely to wait for table after 7pm. It’s fun atmosphere with Kpop rocking casually cooking/eating your food. Unlimited meet they serve two types at a time.  I don’t recommend the brisket even though sounds great ended up being more work than worth the wait

Our Favorite Review:Loved Mojave! Dinner was great. We swapped bites and determined the Shrimp and Grits was best dish of the night, not to say the others were any less outstanding.

The drinks were strong, delicious, and different from the normal drink menu options. I loved my whiskey cobbler drink but be warned, the cup gets sticky as it sweats.

The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. They all check in on us periodically which was nice.

The appetizers were timely and the food came just after we cleared the plates 👌🏾.

We went around 530/6pm which seemed like the best time as the restaurant traffic picked up dramatically as we were finishing dinner.

Will definitely be back!
