Gorji Restaurant

The Got Weekend take

Why go

Chef Gorji, who grew up in Iran and worked as an engineer before returning to cooking, calls his style New Mediterranean Cuisine. It draws on Persian cooking along with French, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Middle Eastern and North African techniques, and the menu changes regularly. Past dishes listed on the restaurant’s site include escargot in Pomodoro sauce, duck breast with red plums and pan-seared quail legs with a white wine pomegranate reduction. Pomegranate shows up often, and aged steak is a signature; the chef is a back-to-back Texas Steak Cookoff champion. The room is deliberately small: five tables, one seating per night and no time limit on your table. There are no TVs, no tipping, and the restaurant does not accommodate young children. It sits in the Village on the Parkway shopping center, on Montfort Road just south of Belt Line Road, and is open for dinner Thursday through Saturday.
