    Half chicken with salad
    Danish C.

    Loved the food here. Everything from the service to the taste was top notch. This was by far the best peri peri style chicken I've ever had. Would definitely come back .

    1 whole chicken (white meat) with large side of fries
    Amna F.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken leg with peri peri rice

    Ready to eat a horse or rather a chicken after spending the entire day at Canada's Wonderland and another hour getting out of their fricking parking lot. Friendly and fast service and none of that weird sit down first and then go up and order nonsense of Nando's. Very similar menu to Nando's and we ordered the double skewers and the chicken leg with one side. Chicken was cooked perfectly and tasted good. I admit I prefer Nando's peri peri sauces as they seem to have a bit more depth to them. Galito's lemon and herbs peri peri sauce was tasty! The portions seem a bit more generous than Nando's as well.

    Friendly staff and nice clean restaurant. I got there at 11:00am when they first opened. I ordered the half chicken with rice and roasted potatoes. Chicken was tender and cooked perfect. The hot sauce really complimented the chicken and the rice. The potatoes were nice and soft too. I would definitely come here again. Way better than Nando's !!

    Double leg special
    Tomer L.

    Everything was good. Place is clean, fast friendly service and food is fresh and tasty. Only gripe about the coleslaw salad to much dressing and rice on bland side.

    I ordered chicken breast and roasted corn and roasted potatoes on the side.. it was money worth lunch for me. Would certainly be going this weekend . And the cashier girl gave me extra breast for take away. Totally satisfied,staff was good, cashier girl was well mannered ,polite and asked me hows the food.

    Double Kebob Lunch Special.
    Jensen J.

    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.

    I have no previous memories of Africa.. now after visiting Memories of Africa, Peri Peri chili…read morepowder and Beef Biltong now will be always at the back of my mind. Beef Biltong supposed to be a South African delicacy with beef air dried instead of smoked to create that unique taste and texture... (and the addition seasoning of Peri Peri sure helps with the taste!) My friend at first was really skeptical... since the Beef Biltong in the fridge looks not too appetizing but after she start eating that, she could not stop!... Beef Biltong is something that you have to eat every single bites of it before you can stop, that is addictive! There are also bottles of condiments, sauces, seasonings that are all from South Africa... which is quite unique and you cannot find in a supermarket near you! The store is nicely maintained, the store owner is so so nice... asked me if I want a cookie... hey not going to say no... yes please!

    During my Summer search for the African Bird's Eye Chili more popularly known as Peri Peri, I came…read moreacross the Memories of Africa website. It was with that search that I found there is limited supply of South African foods and basically no authentic restaurants available derived from that region. Btw, Moroccan and Ethiopian are not of that region. The same search of Peri Peri lead me to find South African specialties such as Boerwors(Farmer's Sausage) and Biltong(Cured Meat). While there might be a handful within the GTA and surrounding areas, this location is the closest and most convenient for me. This is not a large shop by any means as they do sales on their website but if you do come by, the friendly owner is there to greet you. Inside is a lightly African themed shop that consists mostly of Can, Dry, Package Goods. They are mostly unique as to your local Grocery Store probably will not stock the same items. Most noticeable was a Spillers Peri Peri Oil, the Freezer of Boerwors, Fridge of Biltongs, Mrs H. S. Ball's Chutneys, and a good selection of Candies and Chocolates. Florence Meats Peri Peri Biltong($6.50/100g) tasted like Jerky Beef except it's cut thin and against the grain with flakes of Peri Peri for flavour. As with any Jerky Beef it can get addiction as a snack and noted by a friend it tasted like Chinese Cured Meat.

    Galitos is pretty good. The food is full of flavour, fresh and a decent price point. The staff is…read morereally friendly and are willing to go the extra mile for good customer service. I didn't give it 5 stars because of a couple reasons: if you're in a hurry it's not a good choice. The food is fresh and fresh takes time. The seating isn't great. There are a couple bar type places to sit but wouldn't be suitable for people with physical disabilities. Also, there is no available washroom on site so you cannot wash your hands or otherwise. Drinks are cans or bottles, no fountain drinks. No gluten free options. Overall the food is absolutely delicious. A good choice to take with you to the park or an outdoor seating area!

The team there has been accommodating, friendly, helpful and the food has been terrific. We went to order this week, but they are temporarily closed for renovations, however the management team, offered for us to order from the Waterloo location and they would deliver it to us!! How wonderful....would highly recommend this location if you are looking for a great place. The food is freshly made to order and the place is clean and well kept!! Give them a try...you wont be disappointed!!!

    One word of advice. Check your receipt to see if you paid the correct amount…read more I noticed later that the online menu and the in restaurant screen said 15.99 whereas my receipt said 16.99. When I confronted the cashier about it, he said the computer said 16.99 and it's the most updated price. If the computer said 1000 dollars, am I supposed to pay 1000 dollars? The agreed contract price is 15.99 and that should be that. Later the cashier went to the back (assuming to talk to the manager/owner), and he gave me back a loonie (technically it should have been 1.13, but whatever). This place chose to use metal utensils instead of single use ones. The knife he gave me was quite disgustingly dirty (see pic). The food itself was decent. And for the amount of food, the price is very reasonable. I got the Raven Platter. My friend's fish platter was also decent, but looking at the texture and color, we couldn't tell if it was cooked thoroughly or not. We chose to keep eating and hope for the best. I finished most of my food, but I couldn't really comfortably eat all of the food, not knowing whether the plate or anything else they used was really clean to begin with. I'll come back and edit the review should anything happen :/ We probably should have brought up the price discrepancy issue AFTER we got our food. Needless to say, not gonna come back. Quality: 6/10. Service: 3/10. Value: 7/10. Overall: 3.5/10 (Not an average).

    Overall a bad experience and didn't get to eat. The menu was a convoluted mess. When we finally…read moreordered the grilled peri full chicken combo, they said it's for takeout only. Fine, we switch from dine-in to takeout. After we paid, they said we had to wait 20-25 mins because full chicken isn't cooked yet. They wanted us to switch to half chicken. At this point we gave up, asked for refund and left. Should have flagged to customer if something isn't readily available before they order and pay!
