Rumi
The restaurant is bright, has large table seats and a relaxing space, where parakeet welcomes you when you enter. You can enjoy the authentic spicy cuisine, starting with Indian curry and Biriyani. The curry basic spiciness is sweet, so it is easy for anyone to eat, and the spiciness can be chosen as you like (sweet / medium spicy / spicy). The naan is fluffy and springy. It is a satisfying big portion. The lunch set is an all-you-can -eat naan, but 1 peace will be enough. It is an unbeatable price, under 1,000 yen, with drink and the authentic taste! There is a shopping street famous for used clothes near the restaurant. Lunch time is from 11:00 to 15:00, but since it is opened all day, you can come even if the time has delayed. There is a prayer space, so how about visiting the restaurant while enjoying shopping without worrying about time.

Opportunity to open a store
The owner Mr. Bolbol wanted to use the space at the first floor facing the street, but at first, there were no vacancy, so he run a Persian restaurant on the second floor of the same building. Since the first floor became vacant due to COVID-19, he opened a Middle East and Indian cuisine restaurant (current Rumi), different genre to the second-floor restaurant. He chose Indian cuisine since India was near Persia, had someone in mind for the chef, and thought that if it’s a restaurant that mainly serves curry which is familiar to the Japanese, there would be a demand for take away and delivery. Making Persian cuisine available for take away little by little, he wanted everyone to know about it.
