Baba Joon Persian Grill Restaurant Surfers Paradise

Baba Joon is a Persian grill on Surfers Paradise Boulevard, serving grilled kebabs, rice dishes and hearty stews. Order a skewer set with fragrant saffron rice, or try Ghormeh sabzi, a Persian herb stew. Portions are generous, and the menu includes gluten-free options; diners with several allergies have also been accommodated. The restaurant is casual and family-friendly, with outdoor seating and a ramp. Tables can be close together, so it may not suit a meal where you want much privacy.

Persian grills and stews

The menu brings together grilled kebabs, stews and familiar Persian sides. Chelo kebab, shish kebab and joojeh kebab are among the dishes diners order. For a stew, Ghormeh sabzi is a menu option; Jo soup is another choice if you want something warming before a meal.

Saffron rice accompanies several plates. A lamb shank with rice and beetroot salad has also been served here, with the salad adding a sweet note to the meal. Portions are large, so sharing can help if you want to try more than one dish.

Dining with dietary needs

The restaurant has gluten-free options, and diners with gluten, dairy and soy allergies have reported that staff accommodated their needs. If you have an allergy, speak to the team before ordering so you can check which dishes suit you.

The dining room is casual and works for families and groups. Seating can be close together, though, so mention any space or access needs when arranging your table. A ramp and accessible outdoor seating have been noted.
