A Taste of Syria at Georgie’s: What to Order and Why

Georgie’s serves authentic Syrian cuisine, and the menu is built around a few things done well: slow-roasted chicken shawarma, crispy falafel, and traditional dishes you won’t find at most places. Here’s a guide to ordering like a regular.

Start With the Shawarma

Everything starts with slow-roasted chicken shawarma thigh. For a quick bite, the Traditional Shawarma wrap ( as a combo with fries or rice) comes with fresh ingredients and traditional sauces. Want something different? The Untraditional Shawarma ( combo) adds fresh parsley and a unique twist.

If you’re sitting down for a full meal, go for a plate:

• Shawarma Over Rice : yellow rice with a half rice, half salad combination, garlic sauce, pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds, parsley, and pickles.
• Syrian Salad : shawarma over a fresh Syrian-style salad with no rice, topped with garlic sauce. A lighter choice.
• Shawarma Over Fries : crispy fries, garlic sauce, and fresh parsley, with ketchup on the side.

Falafel Done the Traditional Way

Georgie’s falafel is made with dry chickpeas, fava beans, fresh garlic, onion, cilantro, parsley, dill, and a blend of spices including cumin, coriander, and cardamom. Try a single Falafel Fritter for , or go bigger with the Falafel Wrap or Falafel Plate, which comes with hummus, tahini, pickled turnips, and hot sauces. The Vegan Falafel Salad and Falafel Over Rice round out the section, and plant-based eaters will find plenty to love.

Dishes Worth the Detour

The Kibbeh is traditional seasoned ground beef served over fresh salad or over yellow rice topped with pine nuts and walnuts. It’s the one to order if you want something truly Syrian.

For starters and sharing, the Hummus, a warming Lentil Soup, and the Vegan Stuffed Grape Leaves with pomegranate molasses and pickled turnips are all good picks. Add a side of Yellow Rice, cooked with turmeric and cumin and topped with cashews and pomegranate seeds.

Weekend Specials

On weekends, ask about the Kebab Special, grilled ground beef skewers with parsley, onion, and garlic over yellow rice, and the Chicken Sheish Tawook, charcoal-grilled marinated chicken breast served as a sandwich or plate. Availability varies, so check with your server.

Finish Sweet

End with Baklava or Basbousa, a traditional semolina dessert. Pair it with a Syrian Chai.
