Rumi's Kitchen takes its name from the 13th-century Persian poet, framing the meal as an act of hospitality and love rather than just a menu. The Colony Square location is part of a small group that includes other Georgia spots in Sandy Springs and Avalon, plus locations in Washington D.C. and Houston. Chef Ali Mesghali, who grew up in Esfahan, Iran and Los Angeles before building his career in Atlanta, leads the kitchen.
Hummus, salmon, and Persian tea are among the dishes reviewers return to. The room is upscale and polished, the kind of well-appointed space that draws diners dressed for birthdays, anniversaries, and other nights where the setting matters as much as the food.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution named Rumi's Kitchen a best restaurant in its 2025 city guide, and The Infatuation scored it 8.9 out of 10.
