Rumis

Avalon location

By Debbie Calabro January 3, 2026

🍽️✨ Rumis  is one of my absolute favorite spots for Persian cuisine!



Named after the legendary 13th-century Persian poet Jelaluddin Rumi, this restaurant truly reflects his message of love, peace, and connection. 🤍

I was first introduced to Rumi’s Kitchen years ago at the Sandy Springs location, so I was beyond excited when they opened one at Avalon!


The food is incredible—my go-to is the chicken barg, while my friends swear by the sea bass. 🐟🔥

The in-house baked naan is a must, and the complimentary Sabzi plate is such a treat with fresh herbs, walnuts, Castelvetrano olives, radishes, and Bulgarian feta. 🌿


With a beautiful outdoor patio and a spacious indoor dining area, it’s perfect for any occasion—but trust me, make a reservation on @opentable because it gets busy!


Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing food and warm Persian hospitality. ✨
