Yum, another great review complete with great pics. I’m loving having this list of possible places to go for a meal I’m compiling!

Hi Matthew - thanks for the tip. Sounds like a Sunday lunch would be a very civilised way to experience Rumi. Apparently they also do breakfast on Saturdays. I must venture to see what delights they have available.

Hi AOF - another good reason to always read the comments

Hey there Squishy - thanks for the comment. I am always willing to take one for the food blogging team

Hey Mellie,
I reckon A1 Bakery in Sydney Rd would be a good place to start to look for your White Grape Syrup. I went there a couple of weeks ago and they have some great middle eastern products. Worth a go!

I’ve been to Rumi twice now: once, a couple of months ago (after the first, heady rush of positive press), for lunch; and again, more recently, for dinner. Both times I was very impressed, especially the latter.

Needless to say, lunch on a Sunday is a far quieter affair than dinner on a Friday night. The menu differs too (part of the reason we decided to go back). I would suggest a second visit, during the daytime, just to compare and to try out some of the other tastes that may have alluded you this time. If memory serves, there aren’t any meat dishes available at lunch; this leads to some inspired vegetarian dishes, most notably the hot yogurt soup, which is something else.

Heya Cindy - well never fear, there are quite a few vego options on the menu for you to choose from - ten in fact. And there are three veg pizzas as well.

And I know your penchant for all things pumpkin. This will seriously fulfill all your pumpkin fetishes

I just recently spotted this one in Cheap Eats ‘07 and put it on my wish list - looks ever better than I anticipated! I’ve gotta get me some of that pumpkin and chickpea salad.

Thanks for such a descriptive review, Mellie!
