Weekly Date: Galilee Grill

We actually know the owner of Galilee Grill, Ehab—he's in our stake. We LOVE his food! I don't know where else you can even get authentic Middle Eastern food in Utah. This restaurant and Green Panda Cafe are our favorite lesser-known places to eat.

On Friday, we got a lamb shawarma plate and a chicken shawarma plate (the plates come with a little salad and some hummus and a piece of pita bread). They were both delicious, and we especially liked the yogurt sauce on top. We also got a side of kibbeh, which Tygan describes as being "like hush puppies made with falafel."

Again, our pictures never do our food justice. But it was seriously awesome. The place was packed on Friday, though. They're pretty new and have become popular in a super short time, so if you go you might want to check it out on a weeknight or for lunch.

I hope we find some cool places like this when we move to Wisconsin. I've seen people posting recommendations on their ward Facebook page, so there's already a lot of places I want to try! Apparently the area has a lot of German and some Norwegian roots, so maybe we'll get to try more foods from those cultures.
