Recently awarded by tripadvisor as “The Best of The Best” in 2020 & 2021. "Traveller's Choice" in 2022, 2023 & 2024."Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years. Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes.

    Been here many times and the food is always amazing. Staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and went out of their way to make my partner, who is a celiac, feel comfortable and confident the food was served in a celiac-friendly manner. Generous portions, perfectly grilled meats and savoury dips, Shiraz is our favourite place to eat on the Gold Coast.

    If you love a delicious, imaginative menu, prepared by a friendly, efficient and very chatty team of chefs, and presented by knowledgeable and equally chatty wait staff, Eddy and Wolff is for you. The cap on seats ensured a sustainable attention to detail in the food, and attention to the diners by staff. The ambience was authentic, and heaven for lovers of great food who like to know about what they are eating. We felt genuinely welcome and very well looked after - we will be back.
