We had the tasting menu with the superior wines. The tasty morsels were superb and superbly presented. Most of the wines were excellent. What makes it all outstanding, however, is the extraordinarily welcoming and well-informed servers. I would add that I considered the price very reasonable indeed for what was delivered and how it was delivered.

About the restaurant

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.

About the restaurant

Hospitality Heavyweight Scott Imlach has teamed up with Head Chef Sam Sheehan to bring a modern take on classic Asian street food to the Gold Coast. A staple in the local dining scene since early 2016, the laid back alfresco eatery has proven its timeless flavours to locals and guests alike.

Centrally located on the outskirts of vibrant Broadbeach, with cocktails that delight, and a menu that will take you straight to a side street of Vietnam, it is a must when it comes to Asian dining on the coast.

Cozy little Japanese izakaya located in an alley off James St, Burleigh Heads, near Woolies Metro. The bar is well stocked and the cocktails were excellent. The food was delicious!!...beyond outstanding even!!. We had the prawn tempura and sushi roll. The flavours explode in your mouth. Service was excellent and caring. The vibe of the place is great. Burleigh wins with this little gem.
