"Addison’s best restaurant ...” - Eater Dallas

Gorji #1 in Food & Hospitality -NY Renzell Rating System 

With only 7-tables in a modern romantic, fine dining setting, Gorji Restaurant has an upscale menu and unique wine selections. Chef Gorji, the back-to-back Texas Steak Cookoff Champion prepares New Mediterranean Cuisine, seafood and championship steak. The emphasis is on food, flavors and an enjoyable dining experience. There are no televisions. The table is yours, there is no rushing you to seat others. The space is small and can not accommodate young children.

No-Tipping Restaurant in Dallas, TX

Gorji is the first and only NO-TIPPING fine dining restaurant in TX. The price on the menu is what you pay plus tax—you do not add tip on top of it. The no-tipping policy reduces high pressure sales tactics and equalizes pay between the front and back of the house, providing a livable, steady income for staff.

Guests Say…

GREAT restaurants like this are few and far between.

That is why we are very comfortable recommending it! Our journey with Chef Gorji began in 2008 when his Canary Café was the first restaurant we visited upon moving to Dallas. It was also the last restaurant we visited before moving to Ohio in 2013. Over the years we stayed in touch by purchasing Chef's Puttanesca Sauce by the case from his website. Now we live in California and with our last order, we purchased his cookbook. Last evening we made Chef’s Lamb T-Bone with Tzatziki and complemented it with his Pink Grapefruit & Goat Cheese Salad. It was nothing short of amazing as the chemistry between the two dishes bore Chef’s trademark “Zing.” It brought us back to a time of white table clothes, impeccable service detail, superb wine pairing and a Chef who not once forgot to greet us and then rush out of the kitchen as we departed to say “till the next time.” The Café is now called Gorji and is one of the top restaurants in Dallas. We wish Chef continued success and highly recommend a visit for your special night out. —Syl & Jeff, Palm Springs, CA.

Spectacular dining experience in an intimate setting.
Chef Gorji makes memories here with his food. It is unique and really had little creative touches that made it different than anywhere else. The wine list was especially interesting ... Jenny Finch, Google

Congrats Chef! I frequent your restaurant & have sent others. Top notch. Food is incredible. —Laura Couch

“Excellent every single time!”
Canary is one of those places you go when you want an intimate experience that never fails to please. Chef Gorji is there every night cooking your meal, himself! He cooks with inspiration and care to ensure every diner feels like they are the only diner. The food is always delicious and beautifully prepared. It’s my “go to” for any special occasion. —karene627435, TripAdvisor

This was one of the best dining experiences we have had in Dallas. A very creative menu with fabulous flavors. The octopus was really good. So glad my friends told me about this place. —Marie Williams, Google

“Best in Dallas”
Canary by Gorji is where we go for a consistently excellent meal! A quiet restaurant with only 7 tables (and no young children allowed). Service beyond compare, never rushed through a meal, food is outstanding, unique flavors, delicious desserts, nice wine list at affordable prices! What more could you ask for...nothing in my opinion! —IslaHolic4Ever, TripAdvisor

My wife and I have now been to Canary several times and I must say its better and better each time. This evening we went for our anniversary dinner and it was better than ever. If your looking for an amazing experience I highly recommend you try this place out. We will forever be a client. —Mitch M, Yelp
