Rumi - München

We just happened upon this restaurant, since it was open on a Sunday evening when another restaurant we were aiming for was not. Rumi was fabulous--delicious, well-spiced food, lots of vegetarian options, interesting flavors, well seasoned. I enjoyed a biryani flavored with bitter orange peel and almonds, with spiced eggplant. Helpful service, especially the waiter who spoke English and could help us translate the Afghan-to-German-to-English complexity of reading the menu.

This is a local delight - that should be experienced by those from further afield as well. Entering the restaurant we were greeted warmly and led to a really cosy table for four. We were planning to eat outside, but a late shower prohibited this choice. We selected three appetisers immediately and took a little longer to select our mains. The owner helped my daughter who was having trouble deciding - so he asked what she liked As ingredients and said he would make a dish just using those plus some herbs and spices. So friendly and helpful. Our appetisers arrived and were a delight - the fig salad with avocado and walnuts tasted great, while the pumpkin and the Aubergine appetisers were to die for. Main courses arrived and were super. My daughter was delighted with her meal - so well done and exactly as she had hoped. All in all a perfect evening with a super host and great food and ambiance. Naturally we'll be back !!

The first time I visited Rumi, it was newly opened and I went there out of curiosity to try their Bourani Kadoo. It was delicious and the location convinced me. Now, after more visits, I am even more convinced of their quality and want to recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes authentic Afghan cuisine.

Our first meeting with the Afghan cuisine was sensational. the chef patiently told us the diverse map. it wasn't easy to decide. so many delicious dishes. we chose two appetizers and one salad. wow! a great start! very beautifully dressed and incredibly delicious. as main dish we chose grilled lamb with brown roasted caramelized rice and spinach. with three different dipsaucen. the wine selection is very appealing. ambiente? all very tasteful and not exaggerated at all. again: the service was excellent! very accommodating but not intrusive! great price/ performance! we are coming back! guaranteed! thanks for a wonderful evening!
