Best Middle Eastern: Rumi’s Kitchen
Since opening two years back in Uptown’s Post Oak Place, Rumi’s Kitchen has brought Houston some of the city’s most exciting Persian flavors. Chef Ali Mesghali showcases dishes like charred saffron-orange shrimp kabob, grape-molasses glazed lamb ribs, roasted corn ribs with black seed dukkah and three-bone pomegranate short rib. Flawlessly spiced and artfully presented, the dishes pair gorgeously with inventive cocktails and a world-class wine list; while weekend brunch service brings delights from Iranish coffee to shakshuka.
