“Why do we love it?” online magazine Muscle and Fitness asked. “Probably the most intimate restaurant we’ve ever seen.” That’s why the site called Gofji “one of the five restaurants every foodie has to visit at least once.” (That’s restaurant’s on earth, by the way—the other four are in France, England, South Africa, and Portugal.
Gorji was named the “Best Steakhouse in Dallas” in 2021 by Dallas Observer, which noted that Chef Gorji is “an Iranian-American immigrant serving Persian-inspired flavors and a two-time Texas Steak Cook-Off Champion.”
Gorji was also named “One of the 15 Most Romantic Restaurants in Dallas” by Thrillist,
“Cooked and prepped by Texas Steak Cook-Off champion chef Gorji, the meats are without antibiotics, hormones, or preservatives and the wild game is 100% grass-fed,” Muscle and Fitness noted.
Two last attractions offered at Gorji, in case you’re still on the fence:
:: No TVs, unlike the ubiquitous game-playing flat screens that mar many restaurants.
:: No young children allowed, so you can savor your prime beef tenderloin with pomegranates and gnocchi in peace.

Konsta-Gdoutos is exploring a way to turn one of the world's biggest polluters—concrete, which accounts for at least 8% of global energy-related CO2 emissions—into a source of clean, renewable energy. “We will pioneer TE-CO2NCRETE, a thermoelectric carbon-neutral concrete, that will exhibit a high carbon dioxide uptake potential and storage capacity,” Konsta-Gdoutos said in a statement. “Engineering the nanostructure of concrete also will allow the material to capture thermal energy from the surroundings and convert it into usable electrical energy, leading to the development of a novel technology for renewable electricity and higher efficiency power source.”
