Behind every legend is a community of extraordinary people. Thank you all for your support over the last 20 years and thank you to Good Food for this (surprising) honour. We can't wait to keep cooking and sharing the story of the borderless Middle East with you for the next 20 years 🤍

"For me, it's about normalising Middle Eastern food," says Good Food's Legend Award winner, Joseph Abboud.

In Abboud's long and accomplished career, Rumi has been the constant – an industry training ground of distinction, and an exemplar of generous hospitality delivered in borderless Middle Eastern banqueting, perhaps marked by fragrant meatballs, tahini-slathered barramundi and just one more sip of arak.

Sigara Boregi - or, our cheese ci**rs. We've been rolling these 2006. On the menu since the very start, no meal at Rumi is complete without crunching into one of these and being met with a satisfying cheese pull.

Heads up to our email list subscribers - we've sent you the full recipe so you can make these with your families 🤍

20 years of things worth sharing. 20 years of Rumi.

Twenty years ago, Rumi opened its doors in Brunswick East.

What started with a belief in good food, generous hospitality and a mission to tell the story of the borderless Middle East became something bigger. A community, 20 years in the making, and built by many hands.

Over the next few months we will be telling that story, starting today - with a nod to the hands in the kitchen and the floor, who shape us every day.

If you'd like to hear more about our journey, sign up to receive emails from us via the link in bio. And from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone here - thank you for being part of our story.

Meet Elaine, our sommelier, w**e buyer and queen of the winged eyeliner. The Rumi w**e list is diverse, spanning ancient techniques from the Middle East to exciting new pours from closer to home. Every bottle has a story - come in, tell us what you like, and let us tell you one.

Worth the wait - come try it and let us know what you think!

Welcome to Rumi! This is our 20th year cooking Middle Eastern food in Melbourne, and boy do we have some stories. More than a restaurant, Rumi is a tribute to our history, our culture and our community.
