Galit

Anthony and I went to Galit last night, and overall—very pleased. There’s a lot to like here, especially in the early parts of the meal. The vibe is lively but not chaotic, the staff is dialed in, and the kitchen clearly knows how to layer flavors without overcomplicating things.

The Food

The first two courses were the standouts for us. We started with the hummus with brisket—incredible. Warm, rich, and full of texture. Easily the best bite of the night. We followed that with the falafel and halal, both strong: crisp, flavorful, and well-balanced.

Then came the main course round—some sausage and pastrami. The sausage had a bit of a kick (nothing crazy), but the pastrami was a little dry. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely not at the same level as the starters. That said, the sauces that came with the meats? They crushed it. Sauces really carried and elevated the plate where it needed help.

We closed with the rice pudding, and this was a total comeback moment. Creamy, complex, and a perfect finish. It had the layered depth you want in a dessert—comforting but still interesting.

Gluten-Free Experience

This is where Galit really shines. From the start, the team took it seriously. Every dish was explained, and the server double-confirmed gluten-free status as dishes hit the table. No guessing, no vague “I think it’s fine” energy. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and safe, which is rare—and appreciated.

The Verdict

Galit is a great spot with a strong start and a finish that impresses. The mains didn’t hit quite as hard for us (the meats felt like the weaker link), but nothing was bad. Next time, I’d probably lean fish or veggie-forward—feels like that’s where the kitchen is most confident.

It’s also the kind of place that makes you want to come back—not just for the food, but for the care and thought behind the entire experience. The gluten-free handling alone makes it one of the easier fine-dining spots to enjoy in the city.

This one’s a safe recommend—especially if you want bold flavors, top-tier service, and a menu that opens strong and finishes even stronger.
