George's Bakery began in the early 1920's when a young man, George Cherabie, emigrated from Lebanon, (which was then included in the Syrian province) and opened a Lebanese bakery to introduce the flavors of his homeland to American taste buds. He made the bread in small batches by hand and baked them in an intensely heated oven to make his ethnic bread.

I love everything I've tried. I grew up on Bishops and gourmet takeaway and I'd day George's has many items they had and very delicious. I've had others that are way off. This is not to compare, George's hummus is delish dressing yummy
I'd prefer grape leaves and meat pies with lamb but theirs are tasty. Fresh Syrian bread is tender and simsim delish. Highly recommend

My (Lebanese) family has been purchasing from George's for decades, and we LOVE them. The freshest, most delicious local Arabic bread I have ever been blessed to enjoy. Also, they have all the Middle Eastern ingredients your heart could desire.
I absolutely recommend George's for the bread, the Menaeesh (zataar bread) and everything else.

George's Bakery is one of our favorites.
If you buy pita bread, take the time and read the ingredients label. Chances are that you won't know what, let alone be able to pronounce most of the things on that label. This is not the case from George's, their pita is just flour, yeast, water, a tiny bit of salt, and is usually very fresh.
They also have a fantastic selection of pastry, spinach & squash pies, the most addictive baba ganoush, Lebanese salads, olives, and ingredients.
Lastly, the people that work there couldn't be nicer or go more out of their way to be helpful

Zero costumer service. They didnt let my 5 years old use the bathroom and they sent us to the pharmacy across parking lot which it was close at the time. She had to go in corner of parking lot. They were so mean to me because i asked them if my girl can use the bathroom. I am not going back there for sure.

George's has been here for ages, they are the masters of pita bread and their variety of flavored tahani is amazing, let's see what I have eaten here so far. Meat pies with beef bomb, spinach pies bomb, baked pita bread with cheese, they come 3 in a pack for $5. They are a good size , so 1 will fill you up but I usually eat all three. The baba ganoosh yes I forgot about that made here and it's really fresh, hummus too. They have pre made sandwiches by the counter or you can call ahead to place an order, falafel, kibby wrap, chicken shawarma are the ones I have eaten here. Huge parking

We're the hell have I been?? I'm so upset at my self for not coming here sooner. My wife has been here before and loved the place but really loved talking to the ladies that run it and from going there today my self I can now see why my wife loved both.
What a truly AMAZING hidden gem in the area. I don't like saying its a hidden gem bz it's been in the area for so many years.
Walking in I felt I was walking into a part of these owners passions, there own ways of life and dam they eat/cook great.

I LOVE this place! I've been going here since they were a small bakery at a little place in Lawrence & my Dad would take me every Saturday to get fresh Syrian bread, Lebanese cheese, & Arabic pastries (samboosik is STILL my fave!). This store is now my go to place for homemade hummus, tabouli, meat & spinach pies, & some items I was fond of growing up in a Middle Eastern home. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the friendliness of the place is gone. The young girls they have at the counter really are rude...to the point I had to correct one for being rude to my

It is nice to go with a local when you visit a shop like this because they can give you the low down on what to buy ... or not. I did not buy anything today, but my companion did and shared with me. She bought a "cookie" called a simboosik. The best way I can describe it is to compare it to a mamoul cookie but with walnuts, sugar and (I think) cinnamon. They were very fresh and I am ashamed to say I had a least two more when I got home.

Middle Eastern without having to go to Watertown! Yay! I love their fresh pita, their hummus, and their abundance of groceries for when I want to cook something from scratch.
Other folks have summarized it better. I'm writing this review, so I can add it to my great places in Methuen/Lawrence list.
Note: Their web site claims they're open on Sunday, but they're not. Confirmed with clerk last time I was in.

I was surprised at how big George's Bakery was when I finally got there.
It looks as though that this store may have been an old supermarket back in the day, as the space is that large. (IGA? Purity Supreme?)
However this family has fun George's Bakery since 1958! Long time!
I know Methuen, but I had to use my GPS to find it. It is THAT hidden.
Some of my take home finds:
-Imported Greek Feta Cheese $4.99lb
-spinach and Feta flat bread pita pizzas $3.25
-Huge bag of freshly made (still warm!) pita bread ($1.49) This price Wed & Sundays only!) Huge deal.
-Pita Chips (Buy 1

Oh baby. I usually have to go to C-Mart in Chinatown or Battambang in Lowell to be this lost. Shelves of hard core Mediterranean goodies, rose water, Bulgar wheat, cheeses, nuts, spices, and mostly, things I couldn't even guess. I found Almaza beer at George's! And tons of homemade stuff too. Packages of things with everything written in Greek, and translated into Arabic. I think.
It's a tough place to find if you're not familiar with Methuen, but shop here even once and you'll find your way back.

Trying to do some mediterranean cooking? Need some pomegranate molasses, greek style yogurt, or halva? Look no further. There is so much merchandise packed into George's that I'd 1) be surprised if you didn't find what you were looking for and 2) be surprised if you didn't find something that you didn't know you were looking for.
This is a fun place to go for inspriation in "trying new things." I don't know what half of the items here are supposed to be used for, but boy will it be fun learning. The staff are very helpful and patient, and don't
