Galito’s Flame Grilled Chicken

4.5 stars
service was attentive, chicken was perfectly grilled and juicy. grilled vegetables were done just right and the portions was large. they really dont stinge on the food here.
ive been to nando’s many times and this place beats nandos by far. only thing was the location is kind of hidden and far for me.

Love this place!
Double Kabob with Rice and Piri Piri Fries for lunch is addictive.
The people at this location are amazing.
One time I forgot to grab my drink after I left. I had no issue going back to pick it up, however I called to let them know. They had a person drive and drop it off to me at my place of work.
That is customer service !! Great food. Great service !

I’ve been to Galito’s a few times as its across the street from my company. I like the speed of service and quality of food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who feels like having grilled chicken.

I was staying at the Toronto Airport West hotel and wandered down a couple of blocks and found this place for lunch. I ordered the 10 $ double kebab lunch special which came with rice and I opted for potatoes as my one side. The food came out in a timely fashion and the place was very clean. The chicken kebab was great. a little char on the outside and moist on the inside with a flavorful marinade. The rice was okay… and the potatoes were nice as well. Overall. for a ten buck lunch, its definitely worth coming back to.

This place is just ok, not bad, not great, but Ok.
Had a Groupon which was 50% off a whole chicken meal, I would buy another Groupon, but would buy this at regular price.

I’ve been eating out a lot recently so had decided yesterday morning that my lunch would be just fruit. Then I got a notification about a Galito’s Groupon, so what’s a girl to do?
The deal was $ 13 (+ taxes) for 1 whole chicken, 2 breadsticks, and 1 large side.
You order/​pay upfront and then the server brings the food to your table. Garlic and Hot Peri Peri sauces are available to use as you wish (and they are delicious!).
The chicken was juicy and marinated well. In terms of the quality of the food, I don’t think it’s a whole lot different than the other Portuguese-​style chicken places we have here (and I generally enjoy them all other than the odd time it’s not as fresh or portion is smaller), but the service here was notable for this kind of quick-​service restaurant.
The manager taking the order asked if I wanted white meat only. I prefer white meat and it’s never been suggested as an option to me before, so I happily took it. Mid-​meal, the server checked-​in asking how we were liking the food. At the end, another associate noticed that we were done eating but had leftovers so she asked us if we needed a takeout container. Again, for a fast food style restaurant, this was impressive.

Galito’s is a portugese chicken restaurant located on Dixie close to Eglington. Anchoring the corner of a small plaza, the restaurant is rather large inside with enough tables to corral a large lunch boom. The menu is strictly chicken (though there is a random steak sandwich as well?) and some sides to go along with said chicken.
Their lunch menu is $ 10 for 4 different options (which I have pictured below). I went with the double leg combo with rice and fries (because carbs on carbs) for $ 10. The chicken legs were grilled perfectly and I had my choice of mild or hot (mild for me because I’m a b***h) and they douse it in the sauce without making the chicken skin soft. The reason I loved it too was because it was not greasy at all. Hot sauce and grilled chicken with no grease? Yes. Fries and rice were good but it wouldn’t matter if they were bad either. The fact that the rice and fries were good only helped to make the lunch that much better?
There are lots of Portugese chicken places around, and I love so many of them. The thing I enjoy about Galito’s is the chicken. Everything else was OK, but as long as the chicken is good. I’m good.

Came during a busy lunch service, but was served reasonably quickly. They have lunch specials and I opted for a double leg lunch, which comes with rice and roasted corn on the cob.
My partner ordered chicken kebabs and a mixed green salad for a side.
The orders came out in due course, starting with the corn and the salad. The corn was perfectly cooked, slightly charred in spots but not overdone. Thoughtfully came with a butter packet. The corn didn’t disappoint, it was fresh and sweet. Tasted the salad my partner had and the dressing was quite zesty and had great flavour and the greens were fresh.
The chicken came and although a bit smaller than I expected, the peri peri marinade and crispy skin were bursting with flavour. The rice complimented the dish well although it was too much to finish in one sitting an do took the rest home.
They also had cakes and desserts on display but sadly we were too stuffed, but will be certain to make a return trip.
Overall this location is great, lots of space, even a separate dining room for larger groups. The food and counter service format is comparable to a Nando’s, but I think they do it just a bit fresher and quicker here.
