This restaurant is so good. I was craving it and came all the way from the other side of town just to have it. I have been to this place a few times now and I love it. The food is really good and the customer service is awesome. I felt welcome and the staff was patience with me because I couldn’t determine what I wanted to try my first time here. I went on a date here and after I just keep coming back for the delicious food.

Delicious food, if a little pricey for counter service. The soda machine wasn't working the day we were there and they didn't have a big variety in the soda fridge. The falafel was fresh, crisp and flavorful. Hummus was tasty, as were the salads. The desserts were crisp and fresh and not dripping in honey.

I love Rumi, these guys are the bomb. I can always depend on them for a good speedy lunch break. Chicken Shawarma Wrap with Tahini sauce is top tier elite. Also Moe is a great guy. Always kind hearted and open to conversation. They’re also super in tune with the community and really make you feel apart of the neighborhood. Food always comes out quick and super delicious always recommend these guys to anyone stopping by!

this place is AMAZING! we got the Pitas and I asked for chicken kabob in mine and it was amazing. Their falafel is the best I’ve ever tried. The workers were so kind too, they made the experience even better. Definitely a fun choice in wicker park :)

Best falafel I've ever had. Well seasoned fresh and delicious. The hot sauce was also really good. The tahini was ok a bit runny and not much flavor but ok. And the rice could have been s but fresher and they could've given more veggies. Everything else was awesome.

If you're craving delicious Mediterranean cuisine and top-notch service, this place is a must-visit! Fresh ingredients, yummy sauces and very well marinated and seasoned meats. Plus great vegetarian options! Family-owned, not a chain, a neighborhood gem!
