Splurge of the Week: Rumi's Kitchen


After watching the latest jobs report and reading from Robert Reich, of all people, that we are headed into a double dip recession, we decided to blow everything and have a nice night out with Jimmy and Jenny. Unfortunately, the food and conversation at Rumi's Kitchen, a Persian Restaurant in Sandy Springs, was so good that we forgot to take pictures until dessert. Here is the baklava with pistachio ice cream.
The restaurant itself is on busy Roswell Rd. but once you step inside it is welcoming and comfortable. We found the wait staff very attentive and helped us navigate the menu. I must say all the kabobs, lamb and beef, were outstanding but the rice was the best. Having been to Iran, I found the rice consistent with what I had in any fine home. We also had several of the dips, hummus, eggplant and yogurt with fresh breaked bread. For a moment I forgot about the Great Recession and felt like I had been transported back to Persia.
