About Shiraz Persian Restaurant & Bar Surfers Paradise

Piled high with saffron rice and tender charcoal-grilled meats, Shiraz delivers hearty Persian hospitality to Surfers Paradise. Diners point to massive banquet platters—notably the Sultan and Meatarian spreads—loaded with succulent lamb chops and smoky skewers that easily stretch into tomorrow's lunch. Staff readily pull up a chair to explain the cultural roots of dishes like kashke bademjan, while weekends bring live music. The meal winds down over Persian tea, house-churned Bastani Sonati, and pistachio-lime cheesecake.

  • Feast-Sized Sharing Platters: Banquet-sized Soltan and Meatarian spreads load tables with juicy skewers, lamb chops, and saffron rice that easily feed groups with leftovers to take home.
  • Tableside Cultural Storytelling: Floor staff often share stories behind regional recipes, ingredients, and traditions while guiding diners through the menu.
  • Stress-Free Coastal Access: Underground parking on-site and proximity to the Florida Gardens tram make arriving easy along the Gold Coast Highway.
