Celebrated our anniversary dinner here and sat at the bar facing the kitchen..SUCH a good experience. Truly the best hummus & pita I have ever had. People will go crazy over that hummus claim but the food was objectively incredible at each step.
Service was fun, kind, and attentive and the watching the Kitchen was a lot of fun. Servers went out of their way to mark up the menu to indicate what foods were safe for my pregnant wife and brought us a complimentary NA bubbly to celebrate. That is the kind of experience you expect and appreciate at a restaurant of Galit's caliber and a prime reason why I have no problem with the included 20% gratuitiy and 4% fee that goes towards staff healthcare. That's how you build and maintain a team that operates at that level...

Is it an okey meal with a decent quantity of food? Yes, you won't leave there hungry.
Is any bite outstanding/something you haven't had before? Probably not.
Overall, the food was okey, service was friendly, but the meal itself is just not memorable. From the start to finish, the entire experience just felt unbalanced and singular. The food is extremely rich and/or sweet to the point I left most of my dish unfinished(rarely happens).
Lastly, I'm not sure what got them the star, but this is by far the worst michelin starred meal I've had(granted it's also one of the cheapest). I'd treat it as a neighborhood joint with an elevated price and ignore all of the awards from the past.

Galit is nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish bursts with bold, soulful Mediterranean flavors, elevated by creative touches that surprise and delight. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes you feel like a treasured guest, while the service is polished yet heartfelt. Chicago has plenty of great restaurants, but Galit stands apart — it’s not just a meal, it’s a culinary journey worth savoring again and again.

Good flavor but all dishes were lukewarm when they were supposed to be hot.
Recommended dishes: Masabacha Hummus, Lamb Merguez, Hummus and Pita, Shakshukah

Food is sensational but hugely over priced. Given that situation it seems absurd to charge customers an extra 4% for employee benefits. The owners are earning sufficient profit to pay that themselves. And items that they say are portions for two (eg, dessert) are the size that other restaurants would consider a portion for one.

Food was really mid for the price. Nothing was super stand out. Save your money and try somewhere else.

Everything was amazing. The hummus is out of this world- I’ve never had hummus so smooth! We had the fois gras, carrots, dolmas, shawarma, and pastrami along with the wine pairing. Everything is a VERY generous portion and so delicious. Our server Gaby was wonderful- so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about every item on the menu (as was everyone else who helped us!).
Pretty standard upper end restaurant
Delicious food
