Zaytoon Gallaya Price

Gallaya is a traditional Lebanese stew available at Zaytoon. The dish is made with a tomato base and includes mushrooms, peppers, and onions, with a choice of vegetables, chicken, beef, lamb, or shrimp. The stew is served over rice and comes with a choice of a side soup or salad. The price for the Gallaya is $16.89.

Creating the Gallaya stew begins by sautéing the primary vegetables of onion, pepper, and mushroom. A tomato base is then introduced, forming the foundation for the stew. The selected protein, such as the restaurant's free-range Jidori chicken or halal lamb, is cooked and then incorporated into the simmering vegetable mixture. This process allows the flavors to meld together before the finished stew is served over a bed of rice.

Stews are a fundamental part of Lebanese and Middle Eastern home cooking, often built around seasonal vegetables and savory spices. Zaytoon's Gallaya is an example of this culinary tradition. The restaurant focuses on healthy ingredients and prepares its dishes daily, ensuring freshness in every component of the stew, from the vegetables to the protein.
