Gorgeous George's

We had Gorgeous George’s cater for our holiday party this year, and everything was delicious! They go above and beyond in service, making sure you have everything you need. When people at the party heard the food was from George’s, they were so excited. This restaurant treats you like family, and genuinely wants to help you have an amazing time. The lamb skewers were incredible, but we also loved that the hummus, baba g, falafel, salad, etc is all dairy free and gluten free. Try them! You’ll love them.

Chef George catered my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party, and we could not have been more delighted! Gorgeous George's is my parents' favorite restaurant, so first, to be able to have Chef George prepare the food for their celebration was very special. Our experience was so easy and smooth, Chef George is warm and welcoming, and such a delightful man! When we met to discuss and decide on a menu, he made us coffee, and we had delightful conversation. The pick up of food was easy, a food warmer was included, so we could keep the warm things warm until it was time to set the food out. We just needed to be sure we had space enough in the car to fit it all, there was so much food! There were extra dishes, all of it delicious and delectable. Our guests commented many times on how beautiful and delicious the food was. (We dined on the yummy left-overs for a week.) :) Chef George, thank you, you made our party even more wonderful and special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Truly a gem of Seattle. The food is high quality, healthy and delicious, and the owners are incredibly kind and passionate. You can tell how much care they put into their business. The ribs, grandma's chicken and the salmon are my favorite items. I've never had anything quite like them before. Also, the babaganoush is so smokey and creamy, I eat it by the spoonful. I normally don't love grape leaves, but I love the ones they make here. Really just a 10/10 place to go if you want to be happy and well fed.

I had Gorgeous George's cater for my wife's Mama Mia themed birthday party. It was everything I had hoped for. Lots of delicious food that was presented beautifully. All the flavors and the colors, everyone was raving about it all night long. And George and his staff were very helpful and very thoughtful. They even labeled everything with the allergy precautions that some of us at the party had. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend them for catering great Greek food. Thank you, Chef George!

Amazing choice to have take-out from (no dine-ins as of now)! The food is really delicious. I've had the best dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) ever here! The grilled salmon and fried cauliflower are extremely good too! The portions are pretty big. On a nice day, go picnic with your take-out to nearby greenlake 😋🌳

I found Gorgeous George's from websites recommending it as a place to try while in Seattle. They were absolutely right! We came in close to closing time and ordered two George's combo entrees and one kafta kabob plate. The owner, George, mentioned he was running low on rice (since it was close to close), but offered to make us more which we took him up on. He truly loves his job and it shows in his cooking. The meat was seasoned to perfection and very tender. The garlic sauce in the plates complemented the meat well, but the yogurt sauce also went well with it. The dressing in the salads was slightly sweet and was a nice compliment to the somewhat bitter lettuce. Not to mention, he is very generous. The plates were filled to the top and we were able to eat this a second day. The prices are fantastic for the cuts of meat and the amount provided. We got a chance to talk with George while we were waiting for our food. He is such a kind man, with a very positive outlook, who really cares about people. We are only sad he does not have a restaurant in Texas. Of note, he did mention it has been hard getting staff since COVID so he does take out only on weekdays.

We came here for an early dinner only to find out that they were doing take out only. After reading the reviews, we decided to just order a few dishes and bring it home. After we ordered our food, the owner/cook was nice enough to offer us some bottled waters while we waited. I was a little surprised at how heavy the take out bags were when we left. We god home and OH MY GOSH, the food here is so amazing! The portions were huge, everything is so fresh and tasty, and WHY OH WHY can't we have a gorgeous George in Hawaii haha. The mezza plate had tabouli, falafel, Salad, hummus, babaghanouje, and stuffed grape leaves. Everything was so delicious. We also had a steak plate of sorts, I forgot the name, but I remember the steak being so flavorful and tender. This place is definitely worth visiting, it's stellar.

I’ve lived in Seattle since 2018. I’ve tried many mediterranean restaurants since then but have yet to have anything comparable to the amazing, authentic quality of Gorgeous Georges. I want to start with my absolute FAVORITE, his dolmas. I’m usually disappointed at the quality from other places - they can be over priced, ice cold, too vinegary. George clearly knows what he’s doing. The dolmas are delicate, always warm, full of flavor. You can taste all the herbs he uses in them. They’re bursting at the seams. Above all, they’re tender and seasoned perfectly. His falafel is also out of this world - unbelievably moist. They never fall apart, they’re never dry, and have a beautiful green tinge from the fresh herbs. The babaghanouj is phenomenal. He charcoal grills his eggplant so they’re extra smokey and delicious. So smooth, so creamy, not bitter at all. You will be hard pressed to find a hummus smoother, richer, or creamier than Georges. So unbelievably delicious. The Mediterranean chicken I ordered was juicy, tender, perfectly cooked. The quality of produce he uses for the side of roast vegetables is AAA+ - broccolini, carrots, green beans, all perfectly cooked - not mushy. Paired with his homemade toum, its to die for. The quality of meat that he uses is also great- the lamb my friend ordered was unbelievably tender and flavorful, not gamey. If you’re a feta snob like me, you’ll appreciate that George uses fresh, brine-soaked feta instead of those dry crumbles you get everywhere else. So rich and creamy, perfect in his salads. I’m forgetting to mention the other mezze we had - baby cucumbers, pickled eggplant, and the richest kalamata olives you’ll ever taste. The tahini sauce is rich and creamy. You’ll taste his homemade salad dressing and wish you would have left with a bottle of it. We also had his lentil soup, not pictured below: herbaceous, lite, but very filling. I love the addition of radishes. On top of all this: perfectly seasoned rice pilaf, warm and chewy pita, and a side of the worlds best baklava. It’s clear that George has a wealth of culinary knowledge, and with it, a desire to share it with his community. It shows in the quality of the ingredients he choses. It shows in his meticulous food preparation (side note, the olive oil he uses to finish his dishes is so rich in flavor) And, It shows in his heart warming generosity. You feel like family here. All in all, George is my go-to when I’m craving Mediterranean flavors. You’ll eat his food and never want to eat anywhere else. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and order from here. You will not be disappointed. ♥️

I was here for an event, but they had hands-down the absolute best Mediterranean food, or some of the best food in general, that I have ever eaten. The event had out, about 20 different dishes, was done perfectly, and with great excellence. The interior has great ambiance, vibrant colors and art on the walls, and candles on the tables. It is family run by a couple, and the husband prepared all the food, while the wife was our server. Both were so kind and generous, and emphasized they wanted it to feel like we were welcomed into their home for a meal. As I understand it, they mostly do take-out normally, because they lost all their staff during the pandemic, and I don't know if they have plans to open up to normal dining or not in the future. But definitely one of the best dinners I've had.
