Baba Joon Persian Grill Restaurant Surfers Paradise

Gold Coast dining obsessives are quietly tipping off their friends about this bustling Surfers Paradise grill. Baba Joon delivers a masterclass in proper Persian comfort—massive, unapologetic platters of expertly charred kebabs and deeply savory stews. The move here? The lamb shank. Slow-cooked to absolute submission in a delicate turmeric and saffron broth, it arrives alongside impossibly fluffy, long-grain basmati. It’s the kind of hearty, soul-warming cooking that demands a serious appetite. Those who pack the dining room constantly point out the vibrant beetroot salads—a sweet, earthy contrast to the rich, heavily marinated meats. Service is fiercely hospitable and hyper-attentive. The smiling staff will happily shuffle tables to catch the best breeze and flawlessly manage the logistics for massive group feasts. Arrive hungry, order heavy, and prepare to dig in—noosh-e-jaan.
