Rumi Persian Cuisine

As our first official, in dining experience in Auckland, we could not have picked a better place. One of our promises to each other was to make fun food choices, so when offered Thai, Italian or Persian, we chose Persian and it was fabulous. We got the sampler plate, the meat was tender and full of flavor (filet, chicken and lamb). The rice was a perfect flavor to enhance the meat but not overwhelm. And we split two plate between three people and got stuffed. The staff were very kind and attentive, overall, a great way to start the food portion of our vacation,

From the moment we walked in, the warm and attentive service set the tone for a memorable dining experience. Every dish, artfully presented, was a symphony of flavours that danced on the palate. The staff's knowledge and recommendations were spot on, making for a seamless evening of culinary delight. This establishment is a testament to the perfect blend of exceptional service and delectable cuisine. Highly recommended for those seeking a top-notch dining experience!

Rumi Restaurant is a hidden gem for Halal Persian food. While the restaurant may be on the smaller side, it exudes a charming atmosphere with its lovely decorations. The food, while not overwhelmingly large in portions, is undeniably delicious. If you're in the mood for some delightful Persian cuisine in a cozy setting, Rumi is the place to be.

Delicious Persian food I recently had the pleasure of trying out a local restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the generous portion sizes. The food was absolutely delicious, and I could tell that great care was taken in its preparation. The portions were also very generous, making it an excellent value for the money. What really impressed me was the fact that this was a local business. In these difficult times, it's more important than ever to support our local businesses, and this restaurant is a great example of that. I feel good knowing that my money is going towards supporting a small business and helping the local economy. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food and great value. The portions are big, the prices are fair, and the food is top-notch. Let's all do our part to support local businesses and help them thrive in our communities!👌 😋 👍

From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance of the restaurant, with its tasteful decor and soothing music, created a sense of tranquility that made us feel instantly at ease. Every dish we ordered surpassed our expectations, showcasing the rich and vibrant flavors of Persian cuisine. Each bite was a symphony of taste, expertly prepared and presented with meticulous attention to detail. The service we received was impeccable. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was flawless

Authentic Persian cuisine and middle eastern owners. They were very nice and food was yummy. We ordered slow cooked lamb and chicken leg and both meals were very tender and well served ($36 each). We asked for salt and pepper since we found the meals missing seasoning but the manager explained to us they are typical from that type of cuisine/region. We ordered baklava and saffron ice cream ($16) and Persian coffee ($8). Very small portion but really tasty baklava. The whole experience is great. Recommended!

Great middle eastern food with a matching atmosphere and good service. Lovely location, however finding parking could be challenging especially during peak hours. Most suitable for meat lovers as the menu have limited vegetarian dishes. As a suggestion, it would be nice to have a menu with photos so the customers can get an idea of the food they're ordering.

Amazing food! The portions were good sized and while the food took a bit of time to come out, it tasted soo good. Not quite suitable for big crowds as it's a small place but really good for smaller groups and paid parking is close by. Ice cream was a nice way to finish the evening. The chicken on its own was good but my friends said that the lamb was more succulent. There's also an option of the chicken being placed ontop of the lamb - see pics.
