We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Baba Joon Persian Grill on 31 January 2026. The food was not only delicious but very generous with huge portions. The eggplant dip and warm bread was THE BEST eggplant dip we’ve ever tasted. We then had the Joojeh (Grilled Chicken with Saffron Rice and Salad) The chicken and rice were yummy 😋. As the dish was so large we shared it as it was so large. We then had Bakkava (we got takeaway as we were so full with the delicious Persian food) The online booking service is very easy to use and they email and text you quickly with your confirmation. Their customer service at the restaurant was also excellent. The only difficulty is parking. However, we phoned the restaurant and they told us about a car park station around the corner. Thank you for an enjoyable evening and delicious food. We will definitely recommend Baba Joon Persian Grill to everyone. We will definitely be back. Thank you Nerida and Robert Kingsford 01/02/26

During our visit to the Gold Coast, we tried all three Persian restaurants, and Babajoon ranked second overall in my view. We booked online and were seated on time, which was a good start. The rice portions were very generous. The main downside was the size of the restaurant, it was too small, tables were very close together, and there was little privacy while eating or talking. Overall, the experience was above average but could be improved, particularly the rice quality and the saffron used; it didn’t taste like real saffron. Or side salad was not prepared in Persian style. That said, we ordered the chicken and lamb shank, and both were excellent.

We went there twice during our stay at the gold coast. The food is delicious and the waitresses are always attentive! We had the lamb lover plate - which was generous and we could not finish! We also tried the chicken plate and really enjoyed these dishes.

Fantastic food and excellent service! We had an amazing dining experience every bite was bursting with rich, satisfying flavor. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making our meal even more enjoyable. This place is a must visit for non-veg lovers from anywhere in the world especially if you appreciate bold, well seasoned dishes and welcoming service. Highly recommended!

The food was great and tasted authentic, and the service was excellent. Prices were reasonable, around $25–30 per person. They offer a wide variety of meats and seafood options. For drinks, there are many choices available, and free tap water is also provided.
