Galitos Flame Grilled Chicken

Awesome grilled chicken not too heavy with varying choices of flavoring. Quick service. Try their cardimum chai, it's the best.

As a frequent visitor, I can safely attest to their consistency on providing quality portugese chicken. Decent alternative to Nando’s.

Enjoyed visiting this restaurant. Service is great, food is delicious and the owner is very kind. They also have great drink selections. Having other options outside of the usual Coca Cola and Pepsi offerings is a breath of fresh air.

Unfortunate Experience at Galito’s Pickering Location

I had a very disappointing experience dining at the Pickering location of Galito’s on October 4th around 9 p.m. This was my second time visiting because I previously enjoyed the food, and I brought my friends to share the same experience. We ordered the family feast and everything was good—except for the peri potatoes, which tasted raw and were not edible.

I politely mentioned this to the waitress, and she informed me that food cannot be returned once it’s made. I then asked to speak with the manager, hoping for a resolution. However, the manager arrived visibly annoyed, and after I explained the situation, he quickly said “nothing can be done” without showing any professionalism or empathy.

Things only escalated from there. When I mentioned the potatoes still tasted raw, he snapped, accusing me of trying to get free food and even saying, “If you don’t have the money, just say so.” He became aggressive, started yelling at us in front of other customers, and when I began recording his behavior for proof of his unprofessionalism, he took a photo of us, which felt threatening.

This experience was incredibly disappointing and uncomfortable. I’ve never been treated this way at any restaurant, and I hope this behavior is addressed, as no customer should feel insulted or unsafe while dining.

I recently had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant. While most of the meal was fine, one item tasted undercooked. We politely informed the server and asked to speak with the manager. She seemed hesitant but eventually agreed to call him over. When the manager arrived, we calmly explained our concern. Instead of listening, he rudely dismissed us, claiming the item couldn’t possibly be undercooked as they “check everything before serving.”

We clarified that we didn’t like the item and felt it was undercooked, asking what could be done to help. Shockingly, the manager snapped the sticks he was holding, and began yelling, accusing us of trying to get free food. He even claimed we “come all the time” (this was our first visit). We asked him to remove the item from the table, but he refused, got even angrier, and said he could do whatever he wanted. We had already paid and didn’t want anything for free, just a resolution to the issue.

As he continued to scream at us, we started recording for our own protection. He then stormed off across the restaurant, stood behind the desk, and started recording us while still yelling. He refused to come back out or engage with us in any way to resolve the situation. Overall, this was an extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable experience, and we will not be returning.

This guy clearly has mental issues and should not be managing a restaurant. Disgusting.

Never in my life have I ever experienced worse service, we ordered the family feast. everything was good but we didn't like the peri potatoes as we thought they were a bit raw so we asked if we could replace them. The manager was a older guy and came up with an attitude, he began poking our potatoes with a skewer stating they weren't raw and that we were cheap trying to get food for free, snapping the skewer in rage. Unbelievable, treat customers with respect especially if you are a manager. Incredibly rude service will not be back.

My son and I enjoyed a delightful meal together. The serving sizes are quite large, and the taste was absolutely on point. If you're a Nando's lover, you have to check this place out. The dining atmosphere was superb. I will definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: My son enjoyed the restaurant, and the staff were friendly.

Ordered the family meal. Chicken, bread sticks and all the sides were delicious. My only two complaints: The quantity of the fries is not so much. Wish there was more fries in the bag. Also, the price is a little steep, came to be $50 with tax. If this was closer to $40-$45, it would be more reasonably priced. Otherwise, delicious food, good customer service, and the place was very clean. Definitely worth trying.

Had a great dining experience at Galito's. warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a great variety of food, and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The peri-peri chicken was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of spice. The sides were equally delicious, especially the seasoned fries and the garlic bread.

The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and efficient, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, flavorful meals! Ashir (owners son) took care of us well!
