Galilee Grill & Bakery

Kind of a disappointment. They take a long time to get the order out. I got the lamb, it was decent. My wife, who isn’t adventurous when it come to food, got the cheese pizza… It was awful.

This place surprised you as you do not expect such a large selection menu. You can get anything from a shawarma wrap to a schnitzel meal! I had a shawarma wrap and a lamb burger which were pretty good.
Portion sizes are huge and it is great that the place looks great and has good wifi
Will be eating here again since there are not that many middle eastern places in Utah valley.

Very clean, nice place. I got the lamb shawarma and chicken skewers. Both were very good! The lamb was amazing though. So tender and flavorful. The hummus was also amazing and tasted so fresh!

I really like the food here. I mean I REALLY like it. Middle eastern food is among my very favorites and this is a totally decent example of that, especially for the price. There are some things here that are hard to find anywhere else in Utah County and like I said, the price is right… But the thing is, they forgot me. Twice.
I came here with a large group and everyone got their cute little camel numbers and the food was brought out and everything was fine but I was one of the first to order and after everyone got their food I was still hungry. I went to the counter and told them that I thought I’d been forgotten, they apologized profusely and assured me that they’d jump me to the top of the line and I’d get my food in a couple of minutes. So I sat back down with the group and chatted with them while they ate and then I realized… everyone was finishing their food and I STILL hadn’t gotten mine. I went back to the counter, they apologized again and this time I watched them make my food.
The food was really good, I got the Manakish and I’m never ordering a white pizza without feta cheese again, but I just don’t like being forgotten, and I REALLY don’t like being forgotten TWICE.

Nope. Never again.
The food here was ok, but the staff could use Nice Lessons. Maybe I’m pissed because the woman told me the tea was going to be great, and here I am, having finished my styrofoam-​played meal, and the tea (from a cheap tea bag that they charged $ 2 for, in a 6 ounce styrofoam cup) is still too hot to drink. Maybe I’m pissed because I tried to speak to the cashier guy, and he told me, ‘it’s $ 13.-whatever’. Maybe I’m annoyed because I paid $ 13 for lunch on environment destroying styrofoam. Either way, I’m not happy about eating here and I won’t be back.

Had the baked chicken special dish and kanafeh.
The special had amazing flavour and melting in mouth. One of the tastiest I had in some time.
Jasmine rice with the special, hummus and salad was great.

While the flood of shawarma places has not hit Utah valley the way it has most metropolitan parts of the country, it still didn’t excite me. I’d had enough dried out meat with nice spices stuck in a pita bread with sauce elsewhere. We get the hook that it’s Israeli rather than Arab, but the food basically tastes the same. So, it was great to have the Utah County Unilocal crowd all come together tonight.
I liked that there were some «special» plates. I had the lamb and the wife had the lamb shank. I love lamb. We had it twice in the last week at home. In the end. The lamb had nice flavor, but it had been over-​braised and was dry and not all that soft anymore. The rice was tasty. The surprise of the night was the hummus with olive oil. It was excellent. I am not a fan of hummus at all, and I ate everything they gave me. Bravo.
Others all seemed to like their food. The company was great. The food was good enough. It’s not a chain, and I want to support that. It’s not like we have a lot of middle Eastern of any type in the Valley, so we need that.

Ehhhhh… I have to say I was expecting more of this place.
I ended up getting the falafel which was really, really over cooked. I like really fried foods, but this was a bit much. The mashed beans inside the falafel tasted pretty consistent with other places though. The tahini and humus was fine, but nothing that really stood out.
I did taste the chicken shwarma as well with the basmanti rice and the chicken seemed really dry. I think with the recent rush of traffic, the quality was not up to par.
Service was OK. I think this place is worth another try given my recent visit.

Came here tonight for a Unilocal event and fell in love. I particularly recommend the lamb shank plate. While the most expensive dish on the menu at $ 13.99, it is an enormous amount of food and the lamb is so incredibly fall-​off-​the-​bone tender. The hummus is fresh and homemade, and the side salads are springy and zippy with a lemony oil-​based dressing, cucumbers, and I think even a hint of mint. The meat is laid upon a huge bed of flavorful basmati and/​or jasmine rice.
My husband got the jibnah manakish, which is basically a bready pizza loaded with Middle Eastern cheeses. We topped off dinner with a dessert which I don’t actually see on the menu, but which was fantastic — it was a yellow, dense and possibly cornbread-​like cake with honey and coconut and was out of this world.
Prices are very reasonable, especially given the portion sizes, and generally range from $ 7−14/person. They also have a tiny «market» area that sells pre-​packaged Middle Eastern goods such as cheeses, ayran (a salty yogurt drink), salami, olives, etc. We will definitely be back, ASAP.

This place is really good. I got the special of the day which was Egyptian chicken. So moist, tender and flavorful! It was better than I expected. I also got their kibbeh and it was delicious. Highly recommend!

Super delicious food! Exactly what Utah county needs. Loved the middle eastern flavors and quality of food. And my kids even loved it! Great price point and atmosphere

I’m no Middle Eastern food expert, but I have to say I really like this place. My fiancé and I decided to come here to try something new, and we were pleasantly surprised with how good it was! First thing I noticed was how clean and quite stylish the place was. Not what I was expecting at all, I was thinking it was going to be a hole in the wall, but it’s not :) they play fun Middle East music and have all the amenities other restaurants have. I like the atmosphere.
I had the Lamb Schwarma and the East West Manakish to share with my fiancé, and he had the Tilapia. So delicious! The Schwarma is similar to a Euro, without the pita bread. The sauce they put on all the dishes was tangy and perfectly spiced, and I liked the large portion sizes because I took home everything for leftovers. Also their hummus is so good. With their freshly baked pita bread, it will send you straight to Jannah! (Heaven)
Highly recommend this place if you are open to trying new things :)

I loved this place, but boy are they still working out some issues. It was chaos behind the counter despite not being very busy. But authentic middle eastern food is a godsend in Utah county. LOVE middle eastern food and this is as real as it gets.
However, our first experience was far from perfect.
Ok, first you order and pay, then you get your food. Kind of makes a difference to know what is included for your money right?
The lamb schwarma on their giant wall menu I ordered said it came with rice and side salad. The server didn’t add the salad, and when I asked they said it wasn’t included. I pointed out, that yes it was on the menu, and they said that was a typo. Really?
To their credit, I said something to the owner — and he fixed it right away, although a little grudgingly. I don’t know why the server didn’t, but given the disorganization behind the counter I think this was to be expected. Oddly enough a picture on here:
(
)now shows a piece of masking tape over the error.
Ok, enough complaining — they did fix the issue after all.
The lamb schwarma was very good, there was some piece of lamb that was fatty/​gristle and chewy, but the rest was pretty good. The falafel and tabbouleh were also excellent.
This business is still new, but their prices are good, their food is authentic, and once all the bugs are worked out their very existence in the area is a huge plus. I’ll keep checking back for sure.

I like this place it’s pretty good I’ve had the lamp shake and slam the dishes which I really enjoy the lamp sometimes a little bit dry but it’s not the worst i’ve had. It’s a little bit different having a Mediterranean food and Utah Valley so it’s unique so I recommend it to anybody and deafly come out try it out good hunt for all those food lovers bye. Tim

It’s fancy! It’s exotic! It’s a lot like traveling abroad! I ordered, was sent to sit, and was called back to order in more detail. As they finished up the shawarma the man at the register complained to me about a table full of women who wouldn’t leave, and he was trying to hint at them to move on. There were still some tables fee though, so I didn’t get it. I just smiled and nodded.
Everything was tasty, though I needed many napkins. I didn’t linger at my table very long.

I came here for lunch. Overall it was great. I got the pita and hummus to start, the lamb shawarma, and topped it off with baklava. Everything was delicious and had generous portion sizes. The only thing stopping me from giving five stars is the service. The staff wasn’t necessarily rude, but they weren’t inviting. On top of that at the ordering process was a bit weird.
Don’t come here if you’re looking for quick service and happy people. Do come here if you want superb food and can overlook the kitchen staff.

We came here because we like to try variety of restaurants and taste different kinds of foods. They have a lot of very interesting and good foods but they don’t help you a lot with the selection. We had lamb platters and the lamb was a bit dry and overcooked. The dessert was different but very tasty. We will probably come back and try other things.

I took the family to Galilee Grill and Bakery tonight for the first time. I love that we have this restaurant in town. We need variety around these parts and this is a giant step in the right direction. I took the liberty of sampling each of the dishes we ordered and enjoyed each of them. There is a good variety of food on the menu. I can’t wait to go back to try the rest of the items. Bravo to the owner for having the faith in his food to get this place off the ground and running.
Go check it out if you haven’t yet!

They have fresh made pitas. Do I need to say any more? Yes? Fine. So, Middle Eastern food (shawarma, pitas, kibbehs, etc.) of assorted varieties. There’s a condiment line if you get a wrap, which you definitely should because the shawarma wraps are delicious with the toppings, especially the pickled radishes. The wait time is a little aggravating, but if you pick the times right, the food is pretty worth it. Also fresh pitas and a small market section.

When you think of Middle eastern food in Utah county you know you have to be so brave to offer that type of cuisine in this area. That is why I am giving this place a 5, for bravery. Ok I’m kidding.
Let’s do this!
My foodie boss introduced us to this place. I tried it not because he’s my boss but because I trust his taste. For a restaurant to be in his book, you better be dang good my friend! My first time here they were still figuring things out, no fixed pricing in their menu, no real menu on their walls, it was literally just menu typed on paper. Did I say menu enough?
FOOD
I’ve had their lamb plate and chicken snitzel something something. The lamb meat seriously melts in your mouth. Very tasty, the rice was perfection, basmati or jasmine both are good. The chicken was very moist. I’m very particular with chicken meat, how you cook chicken specially if it’s white meat because you can easily screw that up and end up being dry. This place knows how to make it good. I love their salad, it’s not your normal ranch dressing, their lamb dressing is way better using vinegarette style.
SERVICE
Well, this place is just starting … so imagine newcomers from out of town moving in to your neighborhood. They are still settling, trying to figure things out. I hope they last, I can see them making it in the business because their food is amazing. The owner/​guy manager always has his game face on, like in serious mode all the time. You can tell he wants to do everything and makes sure his customers are taken care of and they don’t wait. I don’t own a restaurant so I don’t have a good advice for this old man but I know his food is good and he just wants it to work. The service is slow, there is a wait but the food is deliyummy and the lamb is spectacular so the wait is not a show stopper for me.
Over all this place is when you’re hungry and cannot decide what to get — this is the place where you know you can eat all the time and you won’t get old coz their food is legit.
