Rumi - Persian Restaurant & Bar Surfers Paradise

Rumi sits on Surfers Paradise Boulevard in the heart of Surfers Paradise, the Gold Coast's most famous holiday hub. A much-loved Persian restaurant and bar, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, flavour-packed Persian cooking with good drinks and a warm, characterful setting, the kind of distinctive, accomplished spot that brings genuine warmth and flavour to the Surfers dining scene.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Persian food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a central Surfers Paradise location, ideal for a relaxed dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Authentic Persian cooking with a genuine point of difference is a real draw, and Rumi has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 240 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in Surfers Paradise.
