Rumi - Persian Restaurant & Bar Surfers Paradise |
Authentic Charcoal Grill, Cocktails & Persian Hospitality in the Heart of Surfers Paradise
If you've ever walked along the tram line in Surfers Paradise and been stopped in your tracks by a warm, golden glow spilling out onto the footpath, chances are you've found Rumi Persian Restaurant.
I first noticed it from across the street — the elegant black awning with that distinctive white script, the rustic stone pillars, and those hundreds of soft pendant lights twinkling inside like something out of Tehran. It doesn't try to be flashy. It just invites you in.
And that's exactly what Persian hospitality is all about.
Stepping inside Rumi, you're met with the unmistakable aroma of the charcoal grill, the low hum of happy diners, and staff who make you feel like family from the first hello. It's a fully halal restaurant that manages to do it all — premium steaks, signature cocktails, and of course, authentic Persian charcoal-grilled kebabs cooked the traditional way.
In this post, I'm sharing my full experience — what we ordered, what stood out, and why Rumi has quickly become one of my favourite spots on the Gold Coast for a special night out that still feels relaxed and welcoming.
