Rumi
The Verdict
For your modern Middle Eastern flavour hit, you can't go past Melbourne restaurant Rumi, which has become an institution in East Brunswick. Renowned for their epic banquets, Rumi's menu is designed to share, and features spiced Lebanese lamb shoulder, freekeh salad and — our personal favourite — sigara boregi (pastry stuffed with haloumi and kasseri). Best of all, Rumi does takeaway, so you can enjoy an Arabian night from the comfort of your own couch.
