Rumi Middle Eastern Grill

I cant even describe to you how amazing this food is. I got chicken poutine, and the flavors were so rich and multi dementional. I know thats an off way to describe it, but it was like layers of flavor. Easily Chicago's best resteraunt! I believe it was the owner I spoke with - he was very friendly and kind. I will stop here every time I visit chicago.

I used to come here all the time while I was in college. Seven years later, it’s still the best (and most affordable!) falafel in the city. I make the trip every time I visit from New York.

Do not waste your time or money going to Cava or Sweetgreen. This is the spot you want to go to! The food is so flavorful, staff are friendly, plenty of seating, very sweet vibe. We keep coming back :)

I honestly can’t remember the last time a dish impressed me this much. I ordered the chicken poutine, and the flavors were incredibly rich with so many layers that every bite tasted a little different in the best possible way. It’s hard to describe, but everything felt balanced, comforting, and full of depth without being overwhelming. The person I spoke with, who I believe was the owner, was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel even more personal. The atmosphere felt relaxed and authentic rather than overly trendy or forced. This easily became one of my favorite food spots in after just one visit. Definitely a place I’ll return to every time I’m back in the city.

Get the mixed shawarma plate! Flavorful and filling. Perfect amount of food for two at a great price.

I always do take out so i cant say much for the dine-in experience but the food is always delicious and carefully crafted. Honestly might be the best tasting Shwarma in town and the guy who always hands me my order is real cool and polite.

Owner is amazing and very nice. My order didn’t deliver the first day and he promptly reimbursed me. I came by the next day, ordered my food and he kept me company. When I got back to my house, I found out he gave me free baklava!!! Chicken shawarma is a must, definitely go if you’re around.

Vibe is amazing, nice and filling food thats made right after order. Has nice bathrooms & pretty good prices
