Rumi Persian Restaurant

Rumi Persian Restaurant is where ancient tradition meets modern Middle Eastern glamour in the line-up of restaurants and eateries on Broadbeach's Surf Parade dining precinct.

The striking black-hued main dining area with its golden lamps and chandeliers and stunning backlit bar is the main attraction, luring passers-by, whilst the breezy covered terrace, great for people-watching, is also dog-friendly.  

Offering warm Iranian-style hospitality, a mix of traditional and fusion Persian dishes which come served in generous portions, and luscious insta-worthy cocktails, Rumi is a dining destination for any occasion.

The menu has something for everyone, from popular classic dishes to the chef's delicious fusion dishes, starting with house-baked Persian garlic bread; saffron chicken wings; Shirazi salad; dip platter; and smoky grilled eggplant (eggplant with fried onion, walnut, mint & whey) served with Persian bread.

Mains include filet mignon with Rumi's special mash and salad; slow-cooked beef ribs with chips and coleslaw; griled barramundi with dill rice, pickled garlic and Rumi's special sauce; or fire-grilled lamb cutlets with grilled tomato, chilli pepper and Rumi's special dip.
