Let's start of with how beautifully embellished the restaurant is. It's a refined fusion of modern elegance & old-world Persian heritage, that celebrates Persian hospitality & culture. You're greeted by the hostess that radiates warmth and geniality. Once seated you're gifted a complimentary starter Sabzi Plate that includes fresh herbs, feta cheese, walnuts, Castelvetrano olives, crunchy radish, and premium walnuts. It also comes with side of freshly baked Persian flatbread. We ordered a plethora of dishes. Our favorite plates were the hummus [we paired with the mushroom add on], lamb chops, and the Adas Polo rice. Trust me get the Adas Polo rice, it absolutely mouthwatering. As for beverages there is a variety of curated cocktails that we tasted but my top pick had to be the Tehran Mule! As for desserts our favorite was the Persian ice cream sandwich, it has unique flavors with rose being one of them. So good! For parking they offer a combination of valet services and validated garage parking depending on which location you go. The dress code is business casual. It's a perfect place for any accession, I definitely am planning on coming back to try more dishes. Take my word and come check it out! Your taste buds will thank you!

Nothing about my first time to the new Rumi's was positive. For a 9 o'clock reservation we didn't…read moreget seated until well after ten o'clock. While we waited, we sat at the bar. I ordered a simple Bombay martini and one of the specialty cocktails for my wife. The bartender made my martini in a shaker and I remember hearing him asking someone else to stir it for him. For the next ten minutes or more, the bartender proceeded to make drinks for the waiters, I remember him spilling out two drinks and remaking them while my martini continued diluting in the melting Ice. Ten minutes or more later, he pours my martini into more of a champagne coup glass than a martini glass, and I waited another five minutes or more for my wife to get her drink. When I tasted the upmartini, It tasted so diluted, just bad, almost commical to me. I just laughed to myself because i've tended bar for a living and that was about the worst martini i've ever had in my life. Either Rumi is watering down his booze or the ice melted so much that there was barely a gin taste in the glass. I think their gig is rather than give you a real martini level pour they dilute you with so much melted Ice that you think you're getting a full pour martini, when, in fact, what you're getting is half gin and half melted ice. And believe ME, you are charged as though it was a real martini. The place was pretty busy, so a lot of people must not have a clue... or just like busy places. If everybody says, this is such a great place, I guess it's gotta be. Unfortunately, that's just Atlanta-if it's popular everyone just assumes it's good or pretends it is. I don't do well with pretend. Next after being seated at the table, i tried to order wine least expensive wines (so overpriced)-they were out of all of the lower-end overpriced wines I tried to order. It just bugs me to overpay so much for bottles of table wine. They're barely twenty dollars charging, 60-80 for them. But of course, ten minutes after I ordered the wine, this happened twice, the waiter told me they were out of the ones i was trying to order ( everyone must have had the same idea). Oh well. Right before the table was served the main course, the waiter and manager came to tell me that they had run out of the dish I ordered. I ended up replacing it with their duck dish that I had never heard of before but what the hell I'll try it (maybe I deserve it, because I remember my father always told me you never ordered duck in a strange restaurant you don't know) Everyone else at the table of 8 were served their meals ten minutes before my plate arrived. i'm like, please go ahead and start without me. Then, the duck arrives. I mean, if you're such a Rumi's, fan, try the duck and tell me what you think. First of all, it was lukewarm for something that apparently had just been made. The lukewarm duck comes 'in" this purple sauce, I mean, it wasn't even swimming in the purple sauce-It was submerged in the purple sauce. The waiter, of course, later brought me the wrong type of rice than the one i oredered..That's okay they brought me a new one right away. I was really starving at the time, but if I hadn't been, I don't think I would have eaten any of the duck. Being submerged in a kind of a sickening, putple sweet sauce it just wasn't appetizing at all. Challenge: if you're a big Rumi's fan, go ahead and please try the duck, but you have to try it like I did- lukewarm temptation. Then tell me if you remain an unconditionalRumi's fan. The bread is delicious though. To their credit when I tried to order 2 glasses of red wine after my meal was served, they did give us the vin de table for free. I won't be coming back here anytime soon.

I've enjoyed the sliced grilled chicken with taziki (tzatziki) sauce, the Greek salad, baked pita chips with hummus, and the roasted potatoes. I like that the food seems relatively healthy. The chicken strips are tender and flavorful (I like the olive oil and seasoning) and the hummus and taziki [sic] dip are tasty too. I also like the pepperoncini and Kalamata olives in the salad and how good the pita chips taste on their own (they're addictive). The menu description for the hummus is "[a] puree of chickpeas, tahini, touch of cumin, and lemon juice" and for the taziki dip is "Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, and a hint of lemon." Based on what I tasted, I think these descriptions are accurate. Taziki's is a chain with over 110 locations nationwide. The most locations are in Alabama (the business was founded in Birmingham in 1998) and Tennessee. As of April 25, 2026, there are seven locations in Georgia: six in metro Atlanta and one in Athens.

The restaurant was promptly seated, and we started with a Mazza. Our fantastic waitress, Alisa, recommended the Duck confit, which was exceptionally fresh that day. We couldn't resist and ordered it. The duck confit was incredibly delicious and crispy, perfectly complemented by the tangy pomegranate sauce. After savoring the appetizer, we moved on to our main course. We initially wanted to try the Lamb Shank, but Alisa's suggestion of the roasted eggplant and lamb stew was equally enticing. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The lamb was incredibly tender and succulent, while the eggplant was cooked to perfection. The stew was rich and flavorful, making it a satisfying meal. Even a day later, I'm still reminiscing about our delicious experience at Persian Basket. We're already planning our next visit!
