Galit offers a four-course Mediterranean-inspired meal, featuring a variety of options, including hummus with different flavors and olive oils, kubbeh halab (a lamb croquette), pastrami, and kataifi "cigar". The restaurant highlights include crispy saffron-crusted kubbeh halab, intense smoked pastrami, and crispy kataifi. The meal also features a range of picklings and Salatim, including labneh and Ezme. For dessert, the Chocolate Cake and Fijuela are notable. The restaurant is highly recommended for its excellent food, attentive service, and interesting wine list.
Recently, customers have celebrated special occasions at Galit, enjoying the warm atmosphere and fun service. The hummus and pita have been described as the best ever, with every dish bursting with bold Mediterranean flavors and creative touches. The service stood out as professional and genuinely warm, with attentive staff who easily recognized food allergies and provided clear explanations. Guests appreciated the approachable yet authentic menu, with highlights including mezze like Foie Gras and Kanafeh, while some found the vegetarian entree underwhelming. The spiced date cake was a hit, and the overall experience is seen as a well-priced, Michelin-star worthy dining journey. Galit stands out in Chicago's dining scene for its polished yet heartfelt service, making it a must-try destination. The restaurant also offers small personal touches, such as handwritten congratulatory cards, which enhance the experience.
