Galit Chicago Reviews
Average
The food was good compared with other mid eastern restaurants. But for a Michelin restaurant, the food is not sophisticated and service is average- the servant gave one menu to us and I called three times(not sure why she could not hear even if were

Very yummy meal at Galit.
Especially loved the Foie Gras, Lamb Kebab and Chocolate Caramel Dessert, but the Hummus with Brisket and Pastrami also deserve shout outs. The food was beautifully plated and portions were perfect. Service was helpful, but sometimes not as polished
We got the 4 course dinner, $105 per person.
It's $105 per person but we're only getting 1 dessert to share which is ridiculous... I've never encountered another restaurant in which you pay for a full meal and only get 1 dessert per 2 people. When we ordered we wanted to order de
This place was a pretty big disappointment.
I'm sorry to say we came here for our 25th anniversary. They did not have a table for us when we arrived (with a reservation highlighting it as an anniversary weeks in advance). We were seated at the bar where we received pretty watered down coc

Everything here was outstanding and there was SO much food that came with this tasting menu with had to pack some up to go! My favorite was the falafel, pita, and dips!!
Went to dinner at Galit.
Food was outstanding. When we were leaving waiter asked if we would like various items to go. We said yes. There was half eaten pita loaf he asked if we wanted said sure. While he was away a bus person came by, I asked if there was any fresh pita he

Just ate here again and the experience was way less enjoyable than the previous time. But what really ruined it was a terrible server. She just didn't give a shit about us, was sort of rude and seemed annoyed with our table. And then at the e

Just came here expecting a cultural experience, and realized I was served everything but authenticity. This is not authentic Middle Eastern/Arabic food, it's cultural appropriation of other culture's cuisines and labeling it your own. The m
Our experience in Galit was very disappointing.
We had high expectations but most of the dishes were average and boring. The dishes looked good and a lot of effort was made but in terms of taste none of them was special nor accurate. A few of them, like the hummus, the dolmas and the corn basbaus

I had heard a lot about this place and I am a lover of Middle eastern food so I was very excited to try them out. Me and my girl ordered the Bubbe's brisket, Foie Gras, asparagus, lamb, and the smoked turkey shawarma, and the caramel chocolate t
Exciting, fresh, modern, middle eastern in Chicago!
From the moment we stepped in the feeling was of an engaged group of people making it happen! Lots of waiters checking in on us and explaining dishes. The exciting mood is contagious; our waiter, Linus, gave us recommendations on how to put together
Fabulous experience
Deserves every point of it's Michelin stars. Food was amazing (we thought our daughter was going to melt into her plate a couple of times from sheer delight). All sorts of different tastes masterfully combined. Bartender and Sommelier knew th
One of the best in Lincoln Park w excellent food, staff and wine
Galit is a delicious Israeli restaurant with a big variety of seasonal and middle eastern flavors. The $105 tasting menu allows each diner to share and sample most of the dishes on the menu. The ingredients are seasonal and many sources from the farm
Wonderful experience...with one objection
Wonderful food, and atmosphere is great...almost Zahav level med food! Really saddened to see Foie Gras on the menu, probably will not return as long as that is there.
Don't support foie gras
Food was just ok, and I was appalled that they have foie gras on the menu. I won't be returning. Interesting that force-feeding prohibited in Israel, Turkey and other middle-eastern countries, but promoted and profited on by this "middle-
Excellent Middle Eastern Food
My wife and I had dinner here and liked it a great deal. We initially shared the Masabacha hummus and Salatim (i.e. meze) dishes. They were excellent. The only dish that was somewhat generic were the pickled vegetables. For the cold dish my wif
Very reasonable
Given the overall massively high costs of tasting menus across Chicago, Galit offers something that feels relatively reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. We went with a larger group and so were able to try almost everything on the m
Exceptional Hummus & Salatim
This was one of two Michelin-starred restaurants we visited over the weekend, and while it was very good, there were a few disappointments (very few). The first two courses were absolutely amazing. We went with Bubbe's Brisket, which was tender
We were seated right away, and shared a menu.
I did think it a bit strange as we were told that there was a QR option to look at the menu that way as well. I would rather we both get a physical menu or we both have to look on our phones. In any event we did the 4 course and added a couple additi
They are scammers, be careful.
I had deposited 47000 Usdt not including a 9000 usdt screen profit in my account but they wouldn't allow me withdraw even my deposit. Even after completing the 18 tasks, customer service will never answer you if you have this kind of issues. False ho

This Michelin-starred Mediterranean restaurant is a great value. Finally made it to Galit for a late reservation and was thoroughly impressed. Wine was notably inexpensive. It's a bit loud inside. Later in the night, it was pleasant once the crowd t
First and foremost, the food was incredible.
The kubbeh was the best I ever had, falafel was fantastic, delicious kataifi dessert, and the opening course of pita with hummus and salatim was a true delight. I loved the Foie gras on challah, with a nice hint of cinnamon and smooth Foie gras. The

I had high hopes for this modern and highly awarded restaurant, but sadly, it didn't live up to its price tag. The sea bass lacked seasoning and the pairing sauce did nothing to elevate its flavor. The hummus was equally disappointing. The braised ri

Very rigid ordering with a fixed-price menu, which did not provide good value for the price paid.
Insane that this place is so highly reviewed.
Food very hit and miss, portion size infinitesimal, and price despicable. Reservation practices are completely unclear, unscrupulous, poorly worded, and essentially force you into attending. I cannot recall a post Covid dining experience that felt mo

Four stars in that I would not recommend / be eager to go back unless someone was very keen to try it but the restaurant seemed of good quality. The food was mostly good but nothing particularly stood out from a flavor profile. The Foie Gras is the
In general, the restaurant is over-rated.
The food is 4 stars, well-executed but poor composition. However, they failed to time their service. They served our second course before we even finished our first course (minus one star here). We had the brisket hummus, foie gras, bluefin tuna, la
The best meal I've ever had in a restaurant.
Amazing food and spectacular service in a quaint dining room. It's worth a visit just for the cocktails and bread. The four-course meal consisted of a variety of treats differing in intensity and taste; all delicious, all could be standalone meals. T
Excellent
The food here is unusual and so good. The service is great. A delightful restaurant all around. Do save room for dessert.
Anniversary dinner celebration
We went to Galit for our anniversary celebration. We had a pretty late-night booking. Some dishes were delicious, some were not so much. We felt the staff members were perhaps tired too! Though they were very nice to give us a card and pack the lefto

Disappointed with the 2 extra "service charges" for "benefits" and just "service" I guess? Guess it's hard to make money at $94 per plate.

I have never eaten such good hummus! Everything was sooo good! Great combination of flavors and very vegetarian friendly. Service was quick and kind. Not crowded, well lit place. Recommend! The 94/person is definitely worth the variety and amou

We came here for an early dinner on Saturday night, reserved a table for two on Resy with a $50 fee (which goes to the cost of your bill) to prevent no shows, and had a lovely date night dinner at this cozy, romantic restaurant in Lincoln Park. If yo

We ate here for dinner during a work trip, and the ambiance was great for a casual team bonding. So much flavor and quality packed in small plates. My favorites were the creamy hummus and the falafel.

Over the last few years, I've probably had my worst Chicago dining experience yet at Galit. While some dishes were great (would recommend the masabacha and lobster), I was dissatisfied with the service and condescending attitude, in particular. 1. A

Very enjoyable and tasty set menu.
Fantastic set menu. Every course was enjoyable. Service very good. Priced at a reasonable rate for Chicago. Would definitely go back.
Worth the wait to get a reservation
We had been trying to get a reservation through Resy for a while, and we were not disappointed. All of our food was delicious and our server was very helpful with our selections. It was a delightful dinner overall, the atmosphere was probably the o
Amazing Dinner!
This Michelin-starred restaurant may look a little informal, but these folks earned their star and then some. It's a four-course meal, starting with hummus and amazing, right-out-of-the-wood-fired-oven, steaming-when-you-open-it pita, through salads
Delicious, fun, and flavorful - pricey but worth it
A delicious and fun experience, albeit quite overpriced and a somewhat rushed. Superb and creative drinks with unique flavors and aromas. Especially impressed by arak menu, their specialty drinks, and wine list. Our server was engaging and knowledgea
Sadly unimpressed
This is a Michelin one star? I was looking forward to this meal with my friends on my visit to Chicago this weekend, but ultimately left feeling disappointed. While the starters - the dips and little snacks and pita were all very good, the mains w

Here's what you need to know: we had a lovely prix fixe dinner on a Saturday evening at Galit, but it didn't blow me away. I would definitely recommend it to friends, but it will be a while before I go back if the only option is prix fixe dining. I w
Connect with users posting reservations for Galit Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Galit Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Galit Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Galit Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Galit Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Galit Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
