Rumi116 Lygon Street, Brunswick East (map)9388 8255Okay, this is a quickie, because it's Amnesty Fortnight and I have a dinner date in a few hours. These photos have been sitting in my drafts folder since a while back, but I felt compelled to share them anyway because (a) Rumi seems, somewhat undeservedly, to have dropped off the Melbourne food blogging radar, and (b) it was such a great meal.The very generous, very delicious Rumi banquet will only set you back $40 per person - outrageously good value in my opinion.The occasion was the birthday of Beatch, my charming friend from ...
