Here are some tips for dining at Rumi, a Persian/Iranian restaurant located at 251 Parnell Road, Parnell, Auckland:

3. **Vegetarian Options**: Rumi offers excellent vegetarian dishes, including a variety of stews and stuffed vegetables, perfect for those avoiding meat.
4. **Rice Dishes**: Don't miss the tahchin, a flavorful saffron rice dish often layered with chicken or eggplant.
