| - This small, family owned restaurant in the South Hills of Pittsburgh is home to some of the best Greek and Mediterranean food around. This part of Rt. 51 is littered with chain restaurant after chain restaurant, which makes this place seem like a breath of fresh air. Although the atmosphere is definitely lacking, Gali's delicious food more than makes up for it.
The homemade hummus and tzatziki are both great and are served with a warm, soft pita bread. It's my favorite tzatziki around...creamy, fresh, and just the right amount of spices. Another appetizer that I really enjoy is the grape leaves. They have a great texture and the rice filling is flavorful and vegetarian.
The gyros here are also excellent and can be ordered with lamb, beef, chicken, pork, or vegetables. Plenty of meat and toppings, with just the right amount of tzatziki sauce. I sometimes go for the Chicken Plate, which is sort of like a deconstructed gyro...it comes with grilled chicken, sliced tomato and cucumber, feta cheese, greek olives, pita, and a side of tzatziki, all arranged on a plate. Sometimes the chicken is a bit greasy, but it is nonetheless delicious.
If you find yourself in the South Hills area, this place is a must-try. Plenty of options for vegetarians too.
