    1/2 chicken with rice
    Alex G.

    Was looking for new places to try in Oakville and went with 2 of mu friends here we tried the 1/2 chicken with a side of rice and fries with chicken strips. The sauce which came with the chicken and peri mayo were really good. The chicken was okay not great but I wouldn't mind it. The rice was really bland which practically had no taste other than the taste of turmeric. The fries were really good with seasoning and the strips were were quite disappointing. Over all goof for a one time try or so but thats about it.

    Underwhelming, Bland and Slapped on. $16 for Wet Bland chicken $7 for store bought hummus $15 Waffles where it was soggy before it even hit our table. The Prices are strange especially for an over the counter food experience, prices don't justify the service or quality. I'm just left wondering did i pay for a seat at this point. The food was very Bland Chicken isn't marinated well or enough, the portion of chicken was small mostly bones thankfully I wasn't over cooked. Rice was SOO oily, the long grain rice was over cooked, although it looks flavorful it was mushy and had no seasoning. Vegetables were pretty atrocious, carrots aren't cooked while somehow bell peppers were overcooked. I don't think they try their own food before sending it out. As usual very oily with no seasoning. Hummus tasted store bought, grainy and overall boring. Pita was nicely toasted but the AC was on so high it was cold in a matter of seconds. The waffle was confusing, the waffle was thin, topped with 3 scoops of ice cream it started pooling very quickly. We also couldn't taste any waffle because all the other flavors are so strong. I honestly can't find a way to mess up a waffle but it was clear they somehow did. Overall we saw maybe 3 customers come during dinner time, I think our first impression was their last simply because they rank below food court food in our opinion.

    Ordered the Family Meal: whole South African grilled chicken with 2 large sides, Peri rice and Peri Roasted Veggies ($1 extra). Came with 4 garlic sticks and super flavourful hot sauces on the side. Chicken was a bit charred but fully cooked which is the key for me and should be for you. The Peri rice was okay, but definitely get the Peri roasted veggies. Ordered ahead due to COVID restrictions and the order was ready on time. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend you try.

    This was our first 'patio' stop when things opened up post-lockdown. We got the Whole Chicken Meal ($30.99 + tax) which was one whole chicken with 4 garlic sticks and a choice of either 2 regular sides or 1 large side. We got the Peri fries and Coleslaw with the chicken in mild heat. The quantity of food for the price was just appropriate for 2 people. We sat outside in the make-shift patio. I wish they had those big umbrellas on the tables since it was pretty hot that day. Moreover, our food basically came in a takeout bag packed with paper plates and plastic utensils. So it's not really a dine in patio situation and is more of a eating your take out outside the restaurant. Our napkins and paper plates were flying away everywhere so that was not fun. Other than that, the food itself was good. I wish the chicken had a little more sauce in it, but other than that, the coleslaw and the fries were really good..

    Just like Nando's chicken but the rice is much better and larger. But priced the same.

    I would give this place a ~3.5 stars~ I have been ignoring this place as I always thought it was same as Nandos. After trying the food at a yelp Elite event, I thought to give it a try. The place is very good, they have good size seating area with many comfortable couch booths. This has a similar concept as Nandos and Mesh which is self server. You will have to order at the front and get your own cutlery, plates and sauces from the side booths. They do bring the food to your table. The food came out quick and was nice and hot. We ordered a Whole Chicken meal (1 chicken, 1 large side & 2 garlic sticks), an extra large side and Galito's signature steak sandwich. The chicken was done well and was not burnt but need more sauce on it when being grilled. As for the sides we tried Peri Rice which was quite good, and Peri Roasted Potatoes these were mini round potatoes and were good but need more sauce. The Steak sandwich was very good as you could feel the meat and egg. The steak was cooked well and for the side I had Coleslaw which was not too sweet. Their sauces taste very different and are very good. That was the highlight of the meal here. For my halal eaters, I talked with the owner at the event and he stated they serve zabiha by hand halal meat. Over all the decent food better than Nandos (as they have very similar type and style) and cant compare to Mesh as they do a thing differently.

    There's supposed to be one opening up in Milton, but we couldn't wait for then, so we went to this Mississauga location. I would compare this place to Nandos for sure, but the service was much better at Galitos. The two of us ordered a full chicken with two medium sides instead of 1 large side (same price). It was delicious, and I enjoyed it with the hot and garlic sauce mixed together. The sides were alright. We got fries and Peri roasted potatoes. The potatoes got cold quick unfortunately so we didn't end up eat them all. Overall, this place had delicious chicken, and I would definitely go again!

    Lunch special: Quarter chicken (hot peri-peri) with rice. Peri-peri fries on the side.

    This is another one of those restaurants that I've passed by many times and finally decided to take a look at. Galito's is a small chain of Portuguese-style peri-peri chicken outlets similar to Nando's. I've tried peri-peri chicken a number of times from different places, so I thought I would see how good this place is. Overall, it's a good place, especially if you're looking for a halal establishment (which fortunately this place is if you're a Muslim diner). Like Nando's (and Sizzlo's, which I've also tried), you have a choice of dinners and a choice of how hot and spicy you want it. There's a decent choice of sides. I went on a Friday afternoon, when it was not too busy but not quiet either, so I would imagine that it could get pretty busy during the peak times. Based on the food, I can see why. The food is cooked well, the service is good (you order at the counter but a server brings you your order), and the price is reasonable. One person can have lunch for less than $15. There are a number of good peri-peri chicken places out there now, but if you're in the area, Galito's is a good option.

There was plenty of wait staff on site but communication between staff was quite poor. No one ever came by to see if we needed anything or to ask if we wanted additional drinks or the like. So we found ourselves having to constantly hail wait staff. A large portion of the weekend buffet was seafood. You would expect that when serving lobster and crab the tableware would include for seafood crackers. This is not the case. I asked for seafood crackers from two different wait staff and was advised they didn't have any. So I went to the matre d' and asked, she went into the back and brought some out for our table. If you serving lobster and crab, the restaurant should either provide crackers or pre- cut the claws ready to eat. With regard to the food, I would have thought they would have served some rolls or bread but we had to ask for this special. As well, most all the food was cold. So all in all, I expected more but a 3 star rating is about all I would give.

They are doing a promo currently $50pp as its usually I believe $70pp. The interior is old school vibe church decoration feeling with some antique stuff. I'm here for the food and not much on the decor tbh. The spread is all laid out in a L format. Its not the typical buffet spread of having appetizers, mains and desserts and such. In fact, I didn't see any desserts but you can order for additional cost. Appetizers I guess are the salads... There were a few meat options there, but I was there for the seafood spread... They had octopus chunks, squid rings, shrimp, cold crab legs, lobster with tomalley, fish, mussels... Surprisingly, i thought the octopus, squid was quite good in taste and texture. The lobster was a bit tough like the old Mandarin buffet days with overcooked lobster but had tomalley to enjoy if you like that. Overall, I think its simple spread but enjoyable. For the promo price point its good. They also have live music performance as well. Better to go early so the food doesn't get cold and less crowded.

I originally stopped by the plaza to pick up bubble tea from another unit and ended up discovering this amazing little restaurant serving fresh, hot food. It was Friday after 4PM, and the selection was fantastic--octopus dishes, rice, potatoes, rissóis, fish patties, fresh pork rinds, desserts, and more. I picked up the pork rinds, shrimp rissóis, and a fish patty, and every single item was delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The rissóis were especially good--crispy outside with a flavorful filling. There's also a Portuguese shop right next door, which made the visit even better. I found Terra Nostra Azores butter, cheese, Portuguese muffins, sardines, olives, and plenty of other imported goodies. Definitely a hidden gem. I'll be back regularly--this is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.

However, I decided to finally come here as my usual Portuguese chicken joints' quality have kinda gone downhill. Since this was my first time ordering, I wanted to call and make sure how much in advance I had to order and whether or not they had Bacalau. The man who I spoke to was very nice and said that I should give 30mins notice and that they did have Bacalau. A coupla hours later, when I placed my phone order...they didn't have any bacalau. So I had to order a side salad to sorta puff up the portion. Chicken was still being prepared by the time I arrived for pick-up. Rice/Parisienne potato sides are in chafing trays and it wasn't as hot as the freshly prepared chicken. Still good, but just at different temps. Greek Salad that I ordered, last minute, was freshly prepared, crispy, had all the components. Medium size served 2 large portions! I'd definitely come back again, but if I wanted a specific, non-chicken dish, I'll definitely clarify whether or not they had it!
