Nothing soothes the soul like Persian food. As a novice to middle eastern cuisine, my friends took me to a new Persian establishment in Atlanta: Rumi's. The restaurant has a very open layout where the kitchen opens into the bar which opens into the front of the restaurant. The contemporary design makes it a very beautiful place to celebrate occasions. Even if you have a reservation, the wait can be slightly long esp on weeknights. Our service, however, was impeccable.
The best part of the experience is the food. I ordered the Jujeh Chicken with saffron rice and cooked tomato served with fresh basil. I would have to say this was the best chicken I have ever had. The meat literally melts off of the bone and is so tender and infused with herbs. In addition, they have this special house seasoning that complements the rice and the chicken. My friends tried the Chicken Koobideh and the Barg Kabob Beef Tenderloin and both raved about their dishes. For dessert we ordered Rumi's tart and baklava; Both of which has really good texture, and the perfect amount of sweetness that wasn't overwhelming on the palate.
The prices I would say are on the higher side with a typical entree between $18 - $25, but the portions are pretty large. Overall, I would come back here if it was a nice occasion for their amazing chicken. Plus I want to try the fig ice cream and the Pot Du Creame!
