"Galit stands out—not only because it has great service or a bright open space defying Chicago’s obsession with dark, moody spots, but because it has some of the city’s best Middle Eastern food. Flavors and textures work in harmony throughout the $105 prix fixe menu, but a must-order is their silky hummus with brisket that’s paired with pita seemingly made from a cumulus cloud. Galit works for a dinner date, or for a meal with friends where you can try a bunch of dishes. But the counter seats by the open kitchen are ideal for some quality alone time with your new crush: that brisket hummus." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Galit is now offering dinner and lunch to-go, from a rotating menu. You can also pick out a bottle of wine or beer, and have everything delivered to your car." - adrian kane
"At some point during a meal here everyone experiences what we call “The Galit Moment”—the inevitable realization that this place is f*cking good. The smoky cinnamon-braised brisket hummus could make it happen. Or it could be the falafel with mango and pickled turnips. Perhaps the mushroom-stuffed cabbage with saffron mujadara will be the culprit. This Middle Eastern spot’s $98 tasting menu is just that great. And with a relaxed, airy dining space that works just as well for a casual date with yourself as it does for a special anniversary, any reason to visit Galit is the best one." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"At some point during a meal here everyone experiences what we call “The Galit Moment”—the inevitable realization that this place’s modern Israeli food is absolutely incredible. The smoky cinnamon-braised brisket hummus might be the source of the epiphany. Or it could be the falafel with mango and pickled turnips. Perhaps the mushroom-stuffed cabbage with saffron mujadara will be the culprit. Their $98 tasting menu is just that great. And with a relaxed, airy dining space that works equally well for a casual date with yourself as it does for a special anniversary, any reason to visit Galit is the best one." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
"When: Tues-Thurs 5-6pm The Deal: $6 Beer, $10 Wine, $10 Cocktails, $10 Arak Service, $10 Hummus, $10 Salatim There’s plenty to love about Galit: their Mediterranean prix fixe menu is full of incredible dishes like smoky brisket hummus and crispy falafel with mango, and their cocktails are excellent. Now, one of our 25 Best Restaurants In Chicago has another thing going for it—happy hour. So if you need some hummus and $10 wine to help cushion the blow of a long week, even though it’s only Tuesday, grab a seat at the bar or at the communal table." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
