Culinary Adventure: Exploring Modern Persian Cuisine

Dear food loving friends,

It's been a while since we got together. Summer was all unforgettable travels. Our group was in Ireland this year and it was such a memorable vacation. We met some truly incredible people, authors, archaeologists and other while wining and dining in opulent castles and breathtaking landscapes.

But I digress! Can't wait for us to come to the table for yet another fabulous meal!

Chef Ali Mesghali is at the helm at this restaurant in Washington D.C. who had a vision of an authentic Persian restaurant - with a modern and elegant twist. Inspired by Persian calligraphy, and rustic old-world elements of architecture, the design at Rumi’s Kitchen's DC location creates an authentic Persian look with subtle details and references.

The space is dynamic, the buzz a pleasant hum and the food divine! It's exactly the upbeat sort of place one would want to spend a great weekend meal at. The dishes are fragrant, saffron yellow and turmeric, fragrant dill, roasted and braised meats and grilled meat from the tandoor all add to the flourish. The smart front of house staff in black suits, run the show with precision and the dance of platters will keep us all entertained.

Join us for a fantastic dinner at yet another, 100 Very Best Restaurants - Washingtonian!

I hope you'll join our table. Only 3 spots remain!
