About Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar

Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar is an award‑winning dining venue located in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Specialising in authentic Persian and broader Middle Eastern cuisine, Shiraz offers a menu featuring charcoal-grilled kebabs, slow-cooked stews, traditional rice dishes, mezze, and a full bar with cocktails, wine, and beer. The restaurant is known for its warm hospitality, generous portions, and atmosphere that often includes live entertainment such as Persian music and themed events. Guests can dine in, book functions or group events, and in many cases order takeaway or delivery via the restaurant or partner platforms.

A charge from “Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar”, “Shiraz Gold Coast”, or a similar description on your bank or card statement usually relates to a food and beverage purchase made at the venue, a bar tab, or an order placed via their online ordering or third‑party delivery partners. The amount may include food, drinks, service charges or surcharges (such as public holiday or weekend surcharges, or card payment fees where applicable). You might also see a charge if you paid a deposit for a group booking, held your card for a bar tab, or settled a bill that included tips or gratuities. Some banks temporarily show a pre‑authorization or pending amount (for example when opening a tab) before the final, adjusted total posts to your account.

If you’re unsure about a Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar charge, first check your recent dining and delivery history, email receipts, and any text or email confirmations from booking or delivery platforms. Compare the transaction date and amount with when you or a family member may have visited Surfers Paradise or ordered from a Gold Coast address. To resolve questions, contact Shiraz directly using the details on their official website (shirazgoldcoast.com) or on your receipt, and provide the date, exact amount, and last four digits of the card used so staff can look up the bill. For issues such as incorrect amounts, duplicate charges, or disputes about a bar tab, speak to the restaurant first, and if it cannot be resolved, follow up with your bank or card issuer to query or dispute the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar on my statement when I don’t live near Surfers Paradise?

Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar is located in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast and serves many tourists and visitors, so the charge may relate to a holiday stay, work trip, or a visit you made some time ago. Check if you recently travelled to the Gold Coast or if a family member or partner with access to your card used it while visiting. Also review your email for any booking confirmations or receipts from “Shiraz” or “shirazgoldcoast.com.” If you still don’t recognize the transaction, contact the restaurant or your bank to investigate further.

What types of payments can result in a Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar charge?

Charges typically come from in‑restaurant dining, bar tabs, takeaway or delivery orders, or deposits for group bookings or functions. The total may include food, alcoholic and non‑alcoholic drinks, surcharges (e.g., public holiday or weekend surcharges), and any tips you added when paying by card. If you used a food delivery service or table‑booking platform, the charge may still appear under the restaurant’s name rather than the platform’s.

Why is the final posted amount from Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar higher than the pending amount I first saw?

When you open a bar tab or the staff initially pre‑authorize your card, your bank may show a temporary hold that doesn’t include added drinks, desserts, or tips. Once your bill is finalised, the completed transaction replaces the hold with the full amount you signed for or confirmed on the payment terminal. Any unused portion of the pre‑authorization is automatically released by your bank, usually within a few business days, depending on your card issuer’s policies.

Can Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar set up a recurring or subscription charge on my card?

Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar operates as a traditional restaurant and bar and does not typically run recurring subscriptions like streaming or membership services. Most charges are one‑time transactions tied to a specific visit, booking, or order. If you see multiple similar amounts on consecutive days, review whether you dined there more than once (for example, during a hotel stay nearby) or whether different members of your party used the same card.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar?

If you need a receipt or tax invoice, contact the restaurant directly using the phone number or email listed on shirazgoldcoast.com. Provide the transaction date and time (if known), the exact amount, and the last four digits of the card used so staff can search their point‑of‑sale records. If it was a group booking or function, also mention the name the reservation was under. In many cases, they can email you a digital copy of the receipt for your records.

What should I do if I think I was overcharged or see a duplicate Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar transaction?

First, compare the amount to your printed or emailed receipt and confirm with anyone else who may have used your card during the visit. If the amount doesn’t match, or if two identical charges appear for the same date and time, call or email the restaurant and provide screenshots or details of both transactions so they can check for an error. If the restaurant confirms a mistake, they can usually process a refund or reversal. If you can’t resolve it with them or suspect fraud, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge.

How do group bookings, deposits, or set menus at Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar appear on my statement?

For larger groups or special events, Shiraz may require a deposit or pre‑payment for a set menu or function package, which will show as a separate charge before the actual event date. After the event, a final payment may be processed for the remaining balance, bar tab, or extras added on the night. Your statement can therefore show one or more charges around the event date; checking your booking confirmation email will help you match each transaction to the agreed amounts.

How can I contact Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar if I have a question about a charge?

Visit their official website at shirazgoldcoast.com for the current phone number, email address, and opening hours. When you call or write, include your full name, the date and approximate time of your visit, the exact amount charged, and the last four digits of the card used so staff can quickly locate the transaction. For charges made via delivery or booking platforms, you may also need to contact the platform’s support, but the restaurant can usually confirm whether a specific bill was processed through their system.
