Owned and operated by Andrés Clavero and James Beard Award-winning chef Zachary Engel, Galit is a Middle Eastern restaurant that emphasizes a community dining experience.
The restaurant is a space where people come together to celebrate food and enjoy a shared experience. Its menu features a seasonal and locally inspired approach to Middle Eastern dishes. A unique and forward-thinking beverage program complements it.
Best of all? It’s incredibly affordable. It’s actually the most reasonably priced Michelin-starred tasting menu in Chicago.
For just $104 per person, patrons can enjoy a four-course menu plus dessert.
If you usually feel limited by not being able to choose what is served, Galit makes it easy. Each menu comes with your choice of two types of hummus to share, four salads to share, one mezze per person, one coal-prepared dish, and two dessert choices.
Why Galit Has Earned a Michelin Star
At Galit, the pitas are served hot from the oven, and the hummus is thick and creamy. By the third course, the table is overflowing with an array of salads and mezze, pickles, dips, Iraqi kibbeh Halab, glazed carrots, and sweet mango falafel.
Leave space in your stomach for coal-grilled lamb or lobster, or perhaps some spring dolmas. You’ll finish your meal with an exquisite Middle Eastern pastry and strong coffee. Plus, the urge to make another reservation as soon as you leave.
