Mannequins — as trendy as drive-ins and pool rentals during the pandemic — give new meaning to the phrase plastic people. “Sabzi,” a server introduces the fillip, which includes feta cheese and walnuts (a combination that also shows up in takeout orders). My first taste of Rumi’s Kitchen was takeout, and the container that led me to book a table was red with mirza ghasemi. Juicy beef sirloin, fanned across flatbread, gets shored up with rice stained with tomato paste and pleasantly sweet with cinnamon. The former isn’t encouraged during the pandemic, but the latter is almost compulsory after a taste of what often conveys like poetry.
