We came for the first time. And it was very authentic Persian food. We had the eggplant dip. The pita was the Persian paper thin bread. They gave us raw onions. You only get them in a real Persian restaurant. We had gheymeh, koobdieh and solanti. We also had the Persian ice cream and fanloodieh. The food was delish and the service was great. read more

Spectacular Persian food in the same space on Sw 17th Avenue that I promoted, played and attendes punk rock shows in 30 years ago when it was Cheers. It was fun to inform the staff Blink 182 once played where their kitchen is now. Easily the best Kebabs in town. The Flavors and textures are spot on. As many reviews have said before, The Kashk Bedemjan is otherworldly. It's the best eggplant dip I've ever had. My okra & lamb stew was very good too. We will be back to try the ice cream and the rest of the menu read more

Went to Homa today for a nice authentic meal with my wife and friend. My fiend and I are both Persian and my Brazilian wife cooks authentic Persian dishes. Just wanted to share that info to make It clear we know the cuisine well. I have to say the meal we had was FANTASTIC and I can't wait to go back again. We had the Kashk Badamjoon, Tahdigh with Fesenjoin, Bogali polo, Zereshk polo, Joojeh & Choobideh kababs. All were EXCELLENT I almost forget the homemade Persian ice cream which was also great. It only is It a convenient location right off US-1 & beginning of I-95, but there is also free parking in their lot on the side of the building. read more

As someone with Persian roots and growing up in the Middle East, although I cant speak for the meats being a vegetarian, the food was delicious and authentic The service was very friendly and helpful and there were enough vegetarian dishes for me to try to come back to as well. Nice selection of drinks but nothing alcoholic. read more

Delicious Persian food and a casual atmosphere. Very friendly service, convenient parking in the back and the hummus is perfectly creamy and delicious. The koobideh is succulent and the dill rice is fluffy and fragrant. If you're in the mood for Middle Eastern food, this is your spot! read more

Delicious Persian Food! The koobideh kabob and the joojeh kabob entrees were both excellent! The bread and mast-o moosir yogurt dip were great! We called the order in and picked up to eat in our hotel. The order was ready on time and the staff was very nice and helpful providing additional bread to go with the dip and the meal and to go plates, napkins, forks, knives and spoons! read more

So incredibly happy to finally have an amazing Persian restaurant in Miami! I will gladly make the drive to Coral Gables for this gem and a taste of home. My mom and I had the soltani and the barg kabob, and both were phenomenal. We subbed the Lima bean rice for one of the entrees and that was good as well. Very friendly and warm service. Run like a small mom and pop shop. Looking forward to repeat visits to try the stews and other dishes. read more

Cute little Persian restaurant off the beaten path. Luckily they had a small parking lot. Service was very friendly, although she was a single server for the whole restaurant... so a little understaffed even in the small space. No outdoor area from what I can tell. When we first got there, it was pretty early and empty, but apparently the secrets out, because it filled up fast. Honestly I felt the dishes fresh. Lot of lemon flavors. Not overly salty which I appreciate. The waitress mentioned everything is made to order, which might also explain some of the delays (like the lamb stew)... but it's worth it. One of the better chicken kebobs I've had locally. Fresh salad. Nice baklava. Tried my friends fries which were also crispy and tasty. Another friend's lamb stew had some uniquer flavors, not sure he'd reorder it. Tried the soup special which was also good, but had cream so I couldn't really have much. Luckily my friends ended up enjoying it. Id go back and try a few other dishes! read more

This was our first time here. Very good Persian good. The atmosphere is lovely, pretty basic, however. Service was quite good. I enjoyed the ghormah sabzi, a stew with bits of lamb and lots of greens. My husband enjoyed his gheymeh, a stew with lamb and yellow split peas. Both served with lots of delicious basmati rice. A holder with sumak on the table was available. They also have a small market with ingredients for middle eastern food. Beware, however, that this restaurant charges the additional price for credit card users. The waitress was unaware of this upcharge. read more

Wow! What a restaurant! Beautiful on the inside and some of the best Persian food on your plate. To be completely frank if you're a vegetarian Rumi might not be a great choice for you as their vegetarian selections are super limited. But my partner and I made the most of it and still had an amazing meal. I did not know how delicious the simple tomato, cheese, walnut, cucumber salad could be. Rumi's take on it was beyond exceptional. You could taste how fresh the ingredients were and the flavors worked so well together. Also I am a sucker for fresh hot pita. Rumi left me a happy man with that. The staff was amazing, the decor was fun, the food was without a doubt the star. Just add a few more vegetarian plates and you will find me a regular customer at Rumi. read more

I stopped by with my family for dinner and boy am I happy we did. You know when good food makes you emotional? Makes you smile? Makes your day? Waves of nostalgia from childhood meals flooded over me. Damn the kashk-o bademjan!! Let me break it down for you. The food is how your mom makes it. Made with love. The restaurant is clean. I'm talking CLEAN! The staff is friendly and engaging. Service was amazing. Nothing lacked!! The only disappointment I had was with my stomach for not wanting more food. I unapologetically stuffed my face. If you're a real Persian looking for a chelokabab experience then you are in luck my friend. The chef and owner Arash is such a kind human being. He made his rounds and made sure every table was taken care of. we ordered the Homa platter which was a kabab sampler so we got to try a little of everything. The tomatoes were perfectly charred (just how I like it!) the rice had the perfect amount of butter IYKYK The icecream...god bless whoever left a review about the icecream. Saffron...rose water...heaven. I have a feeling we're going back next weekend. read more

My Husband was really excited to try this spot, so we went for dinner. A reservation is needed! The first time we tried there was a wait of over an hour, so we came back a different day with a reservation. It's a small restaurant with limited seating, and a high demand for their good food! The food feels very homey. We enjoyed the lamb stew and kebabs that we got. We would definitely go back. The server was really nice and personable. read more

By far the best Persian food in miami. Home made taste. Excellent service. This place is a must if you like Persian food.

Excellent authentic Persian food, done with care and love. Flavors are perfect and presentation is great. Modest and elegant in the most positive sense. We had the Kashk Bedemjan, Falafel, Koobideh, Shirazi salad, Gheimeh and Bemyeh and everything was excellent!!! The Saafron ice cream and Baklava were as great. Highly recommended their food and warm hospitality atmosphere. read more

Rumi (now named Homa to honor the owners mother), is a wonderful place for some good old Persian cuisine. We went with a big group (8 of us) around 6 pm and were seated right away. It was just us in the beginning of the night but got packed in a few hours for the dinner rush. Arash, the owner greeted us right away which is always pleasant coming from a restaurant owner. We ordered a bunch of dishes from kabobs to stews and it was also super flavorful! I've been to many restaurants but I have to say, the service was top notch and it was only 3 people running it (Guyencyy and Andre were killing it!). Every dish was presented in beautiful plates. The kashke bademonjoon (roasted eggplant app) was probably the best I had. I could taste the roasted walnuts and eggplant so distinctly. As the night got slammed with customer, the service was still Top notch and I can always appreciate that! There is plenty of parking in the back around the corner of the resturant. They also have a small wall with some Persian items if you need anything. The tea was also a perfect touch at the end. Will definitely be back! read more

Fresh and Delicious! Family and I decided to have lunch Saturday at Rumi Persian Cuisine. The restaurant is on 17th Ave near US1 across the street from Casola's Pizza. This cozy little restaurant is a new addition to the Silver Bluff area. Parking is located on the side by a laundromat which it shares parking with all the businesses on the lot. The inside decor is simple and service is friendly and accommodating. But the star of the show here is the food. For appetizers we had the Falafel. I've had falafel before but these tasted so fresh and so flavorful. Probably the best falafel I've ever had. The Tahini sauce was also so fresh and along with the small side salad everything balanced the falafel perfectly. For entrees we had the Chenjeh Lari (Lamb) Kabob and the Joojeh (Chicken) Kabob. We also ordered a side of Koobideh (Ground Beef) Kabob. The entrees come with a good size serving of rice. But what made this rice special was the dab of ghee they place on top before serving. Oh my!! Once that ghee melted into my rice, it just added an amazing buttery flavor to the already delicious rice. Growing up Cuban, I have consumed my fair share of rice. And this has to be some of the most delicious rice I've ever had. The Kabobs were all also delicious and perfectly seasoned. But we were also given some Sumac spice and Mast O'Khiar yogurt dip to accompany our entrees. Both elevated what was already amazing dishes to another level. The Sumac spice gave a tart lemony tone which was like squeezing some lime and activating flavors. Then the yogurt dip provided the perfect refreshing element to the protein. Overall it was a great meal. Luckily we had some leftovers and am already looking forward to eating more later. Definitely recommend Rumi Persian Cuisine and ecstatic to add them to the neighborhood restaurant list. read more

Cool spot in Shenandoah! Located across the street from El Carajo, facing 17th Ave, with limited parking inside a shared lot. Inside is quiet, minimal decor, and a really small market. Our waiter was nice and attentive. The food was good quality, decent seasoning. It's a little on the pricier side, which is in incongruent to the area. Up I would recommend it, check them out. read more

Rumi is the last Persian restaurant to open in Miami. I started with the Mast-o Musir which it was ok. A good Mast-o Musir should be creamier, less runny. The yogurt they are using doesn't have the perfect consistency for a 5 stars one. However, I gotta say it had a good flavor profile. For the main dish, I settled with the Soltani. The barg (beef) kabob was soft, perfectly cooked and seasoned. You can tell the meat cut was of good quality. The kobideh didn't have the best consistency(too soft) but the flavors were spot on. All in all, this was a 4+ stars dish that I enjoyed so much and would repeat at any time. Lastly, the Persian ice cream was delish. The rose water notes were coming out nice and in combination with the saffron ones. If this was sugar free, I would be eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner :) so delicious. All in all, a good restaurant with delicious food and a lot of potential to deliver one of the best Persian food in town. read more

Falafel is absolutely delicious!! Great spot to try if you want to explore persian food. Reasonably priced, great service

Had a wonderful experience at Rumi's! Walked in for lunch in a Friday to an empty restaurant - but c could hear the nonstop uber eats pings so they stay busy! Upon withering, you can see the restaurant is very clean, they've got mini Persian rugs as coasters and a tv screen showing images and videos of Iran. Our server (I am so disappointed in myself to say I forgot his name) was excellent. He explained the menu, offered suggestions and was constantly checking in us. We had the Kashk bademjan, joojeh, koobideh, Chenjeh Lari Kabob, and Bastani. Everything's was amazing... everything! Juicy and cooked to perfection with incredible taste. Portions are good (I had enough to take to go, my fiancee ate all of his) and the bastani was the perfect ending. Remember to add sumac to your rice and ask for butter in the side - you can top your rice with butter and fold it in to melt, the Iranian way! Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back regularly. read more

So tasty! This is an unassuming little place- not a fancy restaurant. Think one notch above takeout in terms of atmosphere. But the food was very fresh and tasty, and priced very fairly. We had salads, hummus, and amazing kebabs. Tender and delicious served with fluffy rice and warm pita. read more

I loved this place! Went on a solo date and had an amazing time! Food was 10/10. I highly recommend to come check this spot.

We've been watching and waiting for Rumi to open and we're glad they're here! We were big fans of the Rumi down in Pinecrest and we just had a delicious dinner at this location last night. As an appetizer, we shared the Kashk Bademjan (Golden sauteed eggplant topped with mint, crispy onions, garlic and cream of yogurt) and the Adasi (Hearty persian lentil soup, simmered with caramalized onions, carrots and tumeric). Both were great, and the eggplant was addictive. We tried to only eat half of it, but we kept taking "one more bite" over and over until it was all gone. For the entree, the two of us shared the Grilled Atlantic Salmon (Saffron marinated fillet in Rumi's special seasoning, fava beans & dill basmati rice). It was also excellent and I'm craving it again as I'm writing this. The service was very sweet and friendly, even though it was packed. We will definitely be back, and we are already talking about using them for catering. read more

Not only the food is amazing, the atmosphere is great, the place is nice and clean and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. We ordered hummus and falafel and it was just perfect. I have tried falafel in many restaurants but not like this one! The chicken kabob was juicy, the rice was perfect. The chef recommended us to try the barg meat kabob and OMG, the meat is so tender it literally melts in your mouth. The portions are generous as well. We will be definitely coming back! read more

Every time is a pleasure to be greeted with friendliness and kindness, be it the servers or the owner himself. All dishes we have tried so far are flavorful and true to their traditions. It's great to have the traditional loose leaf brewed hot Persian tea instead of tea bags! Their plates are artistic and the humble atmosphere is simple yet cozy. We wish the best of luck as a new business and hope the quality will maintain itself, if not exceed expectations. Today we had the Kashke bademjan, hummus and kababs with special request to be served with fava and dill rice. The kababs were so tasty and nicely marinated- tender and juicy. What a treat! read more
