Rumi is a 13th century Persian poet and mystic whose writings explored love, humanity and the connections that unite people.
Rumi Room, a distinctive destination for Persian and Indo-Pak cuisine, celebrates the grand opening of its location at The Bend in Southwest Las Vegas on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 5-7 p.m. The event marks an exciting chapter for the restaurant bringing together culinary traditions, sophisticated surroundings, handcrafted cocktails and entertainment.
Built on the philosophy of Dine, Drink + Dance, Rumi Room offers more than a traditional experience. It is a place where food, hospitality, music and culture mix. The restaurant’s name honors Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet and mystic whose writings explored love, humanity and the connections that unite people across cultures. That spirit is reflected throughout Rumi Room.
Located at 8730 W. Sunset Road at The Bend complex, Rumi Room brings a distinctive culinary concept to the Las Vegas dining scene by uniting two celebrated traditions: the rich, aromatic flavors of Persia and the bold, complex spices of Indian and Pakistani cooking.
Executive Chef and co-owner Mamad Nafissi brings his Persian culinary heritage and passion for authentic cooking, while business partner Dr. Ali Haq infuses the best influences of his Pakistani background. Together, they have created a dining destination where guests can explore the flavors of culinary cultures.
The premium halal dining experience showcases preparation methods, ingredients, spices and recipes perfected and passed down through generations. Selections include Beef Koobideh, Beef Soltani, Chicken Tandoori, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, lamb specialties, saffron basmati rice, kabobs, curries and steaks. The Rumi Room experience extends well beyond the dinner table.
The restaurant’s philosophy reflects a vision of dining as a social experience. Guests can begin their evening with a meal, enjoy cocktails and fine wines and continue the night surrounded by music, entertainment and an atmosphere that encourages conversation, celebration and connection.
A full-service bar offers signature cocktails including creative, specialty cocktails like the house favorite The Saffron Old Fashioned, martinis, margaritas and a curated selection of wines designed to complement the restaurant’s menu.
