Canary By Gorji Restaurant Shortens Name to Gorji

DALLAS, Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 1, 2018 Gorji started renovations of the exterior and interior, reduced the number of tables to seven to make the space more intimate and reopened on July 13th with a new look, updated menu and excitement about its most recent reincarnation.

• Gorji Restaurant—is committed to providing interesting, flavorful food and creating an enjoyable dining experience by focusing on the guest—not turning tables to seat more and more guests, having distracting televisions or accommodating young children in the small space. The no-tipping policy reduces high pressure sales tactics and equalizes pay between front and back of house, providing a livable, steady income for staff.  Dedicated to safety and health, Gorji has received a score of 100 on Health Inspections two years in a row.

Chef Gorji continues to meld his favorite flavors of spices, techniques and ingredients from all the countries around the Mediterranean Basin. Bringing these elements together with what is available in the markets here and adding his interpretations he has created his New Mediterranean Cuisine. 

Additional new dishes are featured in weekly changing Prix Fixe menus, and the curated wine list introduces many less well known grapes and vineyards.

• Gorji Gourmet Sauces and Cookbook— are available in grocery stores and online, with the complete line of products now available for purchase at the restaurant.
