We had dinner at Rumi Persian Restaurant in Surfers Paradise and really enjoyed it. We ordered the Rumi Special (Makhsos), a couple of King meals, Kashke Bademjan, and Dolmeh. The kebabs were juicy and nicely grilled, especially the koobideh and chicken. The rice was fluffy and the tahdig was really good. The Kashke Bademjan was super flavourful and smoky, and the dolmeh tasted fresh and homemade. Portions were generous and everything looked great when it came to the table. The bread was warm and went really well with the eggplant dish. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff too. Definitely a good spot if you’re craving Persian food in Surfers Paradise. Would happily come back again.
We really enjoyed our experience at Rumi. The portions were huge! None of us could finish our meals. Everything was very delicious, and the prices were reasonable considering the portion sizes. We were four friends and all ordered different dishes, and everyone was happy with their food. The cocktails were also excellent. The staff were warm and helpful, but there were some delays with our orders, and part of our food was forgotten, probably because it was very busy. We had to remind them, but they were nice about it. Overall, it was still a great experience. We loved the atmosphere and would come back again.
LOVE, love everything about it. My partner and I were visiting Gold Coast for the week, and were glad to stumble on this restaurant a day before flying back to Melbourne. The servings are bountiful, and the taste is delicious! We had kaske bademjun and gormeh sabzi. My partner is Persian and he gave a thumbs up. What I really loved was the Rumi special salad because it was so huge, healthy, and tasty. And the saffron ice cream was too pretty! Photos don't do justice. Our hotel was in Surfer's Paradise, and Rumi's was a tram station away. We found out later on that they have a branch at Surfer's Paradise, but hey, we enjoyed the leisurely walk back along the beach!
The food quality and service were excellent. The music was soft and pleasant, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. The environment was amazing, and all four of us truly enjoyed our time there. Unfortunately, the tea arrived quite late, after the baklava, but this definitely doesn’t make me want to reduce my rating. I highly recommend Rumi and will absolutely be coming back again. And don’t miss their marinated olives — they’re a must-try!
Wow, what a great little gem, at Broadbeach Queensland.👍👏 From the moment we walked into Rumi, we were greeted warmly by the owner and made to feel right at home. The atmosphere was welcoming and full of authentic charm. The cuisine was absolutely delicious every dish was beautifully presented, juicy, tender, and bursting with flavour. We had the shared platter for two, along with the lamb cutlets and the perfectly cooked prawns, all outstanding! The cocktails were also impressive, both visually and in taste. A special mention goes to Jennifer, our waitress for the night. She was bubbly, attentive, and genuinely engaging with our family. Her positive energy and professionalism made our evening that much more enjoyable. Assisting her was Noor, who was polite and excellent at her job together they made the service flawless. Please make sure they get a shout out and also recognised for their great work. Overall, Rumi delivered on every level amazing food, fantastic service, and a warm, memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back! From the Melbourne Family.
