"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
"Middle Eastern restaurant presenting a three-course brunch centered on locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, with wine pairings by the beverage director and pastries and desserts from the executive pastry chef." - Lisa Shames
