    Some of the meat dishes.

    George catered our son's graduation party. The food was delicious and very abundant. George even added extra dishes, like a wonderful eggplant salad. The food was labelled and sorted for allergies (gluten, dairy, etc...) which was a very nice touch.

    The best food! Generous portions and great neighborhood restaurant. George and Rula remember your names and your orders. The food is always delicious. One entree is big enough for two people.We love this place and the owners

    Ordered catering from Gorgeous George's for a graduation party (for about 20 people) and the spread was incredible! The food was incredibly delicious. Definitely a hit with the party and everyone kept coming back for more. George even included some extra dishes for our group, which was very kind. Service was great and the pick up was seamless. Will definitely be coming back to dine at this restaurant. 10/10 recommend!

    There is a decent amount of Mediterranean restaurants here in Seattle that I have tried, and I'm sure you can go to any of them and get a decently sized meal that tastes good, but I'm here to say that thus far, Gorgeous George's is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle so far. We went to this restaurant around 7PM on a Saturday, and at first, the restaurant didn't look open for business. But George's wife spotted us checking the restaurant hours and welcomed us in! She mentioned that they had a huge catering order today and were closed due to catering so much. At first, she mentioned that take out orders would be OK, but then evolved into allowing for us to dine in! We were so grateful to even be allowed service given how busy and exhausted they were, so they definitely when above and beyond in terms of service. As other reviewers have mentioned, Gorgeous George feels like you are dining in a family's house, very cozy and everyone is so friendly, and of course, the food was freaking amazing! We ordered a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Babaghanouje ($11): Absolutely delicious! Amazing smokey flavor and a subtle tartness from the eggplant/lemon. Pleasing texture that is a blend of creamy and slightly fibrous that leaves you wanting more. Great with pita bread and toothsome on it's own too. One of the better babahanoujes that I have tried. Gorgeous George's Platter ($35): Wow! This is quite the treat - if you are feeling hungry, definitely give this platter a go. Everything from the kababs, rice, and a small hint of toum on the inside was delicious! The chicken was tender, and even reheating it a day later, it kept it's moisture, which is really difficult to do! Rice was soft and everything was cooked perfectly. Seasoning was great, you can taste the complex marination and aromatics like parsley and onion with every piece of meat! Baklava ($8): A very solid baklava, and generous with portioning too. Flakey and cripsy crust and a generous helping of chopped nuts with a good amount of syrup soaked in throughout. One of the better baklavas I've had here in Seattle. In addition to these things we ordered, they also included a lamb kabob, two drinks, and a hummus free of charge (assuming they wanted to clean out the kitchen for the day) - which they really didn't have to do! We were so stunned by the hospitality demonstrated by George and his wife that we left a really hefty tip in order to show our gratitude. My experience here at Gorgeous George's was so amazing - everything from the stellar service, scrumptious food, and cozy ambiance makes this one of the best restaurant experiences that I have had here in Seattle thus far. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gorgeous George's as it is definitely the type of restaurant that deserves everyone's business!

    Falafal Platter

    Delicious and made with love! If you have a craving for authentic Mediterranean food this is the best to bring home for dinner. Fantastic falafels and dolmades, best in the neighborhood and family who runs this together have such friendly service! Great place to take home a delicious meal for the family and they cater too! My partner and I brought home a falafel platter, a gyro platter, and hummus. Generous portions, gorgeous presentation, and so delicious you can't go wrong with George's for dinner!

For a table for 3,…read morewe were told we'd have to wait for about 2.5 hours which we honestly were not thrilled to do. However after we expressed that we didn't want to wait that long, we were told that if we wanted outdoor seating they could actually seat us in less than half an hour. We chose the outdoor seating option and took a quick stroll in the quiet neighborhood before coming back. Our server told us that Homer's plates are meant to be family style and shared so their general recommendation is 1 large plate or 2 small plates per person. For us, we ordered the Set of top 3 spreads, lamb ragu on tahini and we were served with 5 pieces of warm pita. We also ordered Grilled Pork with Stinging nettles, raw albacore tuna with taramasalata, and smoked and shaved kohlrabi. Our server warned us that the pork was going to be on the fatty side but we were still surprised by how fatty it was. The spreads for the pita were amazing as usual-- their seasonal flavors taste amazingly fresh. Our table wanted to order more pita and when someone came by to take the empty plate they asked if we wanted more which we did let them know but even by the time we finished all the plates, we never got the additional pita so we just took it off. The Kohlrabi was an amazingly refreshing palette cleanser before the pork-- super light and refreshing. After we finished our meal we grabbed some soft serve from the window and wow, for 7$ it's quite a lot of ice cream! The flavors that were offered when we were there was Dark Chocolate and Kettlekorn. I sampled the swirl and the fusion of the saltiness of the kettle korn, the slight bitter and sweetness of the dark chocolate was immaculate. Final thoughts: very cool experience, inside I could see the open kitchen and the stone wood fired oven and the ingredients tasted amazing. However it is a little inconvenient that it's walk in unless you're a party of 6 since the lines and wait can get incredibly long. It's also difficult to find parking in the area. Very neat experience!

I've been in a couple of times and there's always members of the local Turkish community eating here. Says great things about any ethnic restaurant when folks from that ethnicity choose to eat there. If you like Eastern Mediterranean food, give Cafe Turko a try!

I got a build-my-own saj wrap with the mushroom base saj $6, sumac chicken $7, tomato $1.5, cucumber $1.5, pickled turnip $1, and a side of hot sauce $2. The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side.

The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb. Tip: grab some extra napkins as the wraps can fall apart a bit at the end!
