Good food. Great location. Pretty scenery.

Service was great, prices were reasonable considering portion sizes were large. Was offered 3 drinks to choose from on the house due to waiting time.

Shiraz really deserves its great reputation

We were down for the GC 500 and when we realised the second b Highest rated restaurant on TA was 150m from our apartment we had to try it. We definitely were not disappointed From the moment we got there, the staff were welcoming and...the ambience was good. We sat outside on an admittedly warm Friday night and it was very pleasant. The food was magnificent. I shared a Meatatarian and a Meegoo ( probably spelt wrong as Persian isn’t taught in Lancashire schools) with my dustbin of a younger son. The meat was succulent and tender and the prawns very tasty. My other son and my mate also enjoyed their meals. There was also plenty of it. The wait staff were fantastic and the value for money was good. We only had one course ( only needed one course) and drinks but cost was reasonable all things considered. The night before we had eaten at a “Themed restaurant for only $10 per head less and it was chalk and cheese. The rating for Shiraz was right and we really enjoyed our meal.More

You should definitely eat here.

Great all round experience, we really enjoyed it. They were not willing to swap some things out on the mezza platter but that's a minor issue really. Good was great, eggplant dip and olive dip (nothing like you've had before I promise) were excellent and...clearly made on site. The skewers are BIG and very tasty. Will return next time we are on the gold coast. Staff awesome.More

Persian Explosion

The most amazing experience ever a true “Persian Explosion” …. dine at this restaurant in the Gold Coast for taste, texture and mouth-watering, eye-popping, finger-licking deliciousness from start to finish. The service was next level too thanks to our charismatic waiter, JULIAN. Thank you! We’ll...be back. Angie and Paul ZMore
