Delicious authentic food

Very tasty and satisfying food. The starters salads and bread are so good… there is also scoop, and then the main dishes which are also tasty and satisfying. Service is personal and very nice. All the food is vegan, we had no experience with breakfast.
There’s a fixed menu.

Pros: Good service , Good food

Worth the ride

Update summer 2023: just found out it’s a vegetarian restaurant, not 100% vegan. Serves gags for breakfast with vegan option available.
I guess if you’re in the area it’s still a good option.
————————————————————
If you have a trip to the north you must visit this place!
Small but very beautiful and clean restaurant with extremely friendly service and hearty portions of homemade comfort food.
There’s a fixed menu including starters, soup, main dish, tea and dessert. It’s 110 NIS per person and totally worth the money and a long ride.

מסעדה מצוינת

הגעתי לאמירים במקרה, בלי לדעת שזה יישוב צמחוני, חיפשתי מסעדות בקרבת מקום והתאהבתי במסעדת אל גליל. השירות שניתן על ידי בעלת המקום היה אדיב, האוכל היה טעים (ומפוצץ) והאווירה מקסימה

Pros: אוכח טבעוני ומעולה, בעלת המקום מקסימה

Cons: תשלום במזומן בלבד

מסעדה מומלצת, טעים ונעים

מנות הפתיחה טובות, לחמניות בייצור עצמי רכות וטעימות עם 8 מטבלים.
מרק, מנה עיקרית תה וקינוחון ולימודה
כל זה ב110 ש"ח לסועד. #Veganuary

Pros: אוכל טעים חם, מנחם וממלא. מתאים לחורף, שרות טוב, נקי

Way too expensive

The place is nice, the food is OK but they charged 110 shekels per person. If you go for nearby village, you can have the same food for much cheaper

Pros: It's vegan , Lot of méditerranée food

Cons: Too expensive , Not that good

Dinner

The food was outstanding, the staff is extremely friendly and hospitable!
The kitchen is all vegan, you get to try a big variety of classic mideteranean and middle eastern food, you will leave completely full and satisfied!
Prices are fair and worth the experience!
Around 25-30$ per person for full coursed meal.
Strongly recommended!

Pros: Amazing food! , Friendly staff and atmosphere, Convinent location

Cons: Might need to wait a bit if the place is busy

Very special

Whenever we stay or just hike in the Safed area, we "hop" to the Al Galal restaurant in Amirim to enjoy the traditional Arabic cuisine.
Very special and wonderful.

Wow

The Hebrew review will be followed by an English one.

וואוו, מסעדה המגישה אוכל טבעוני ערבי אותנטי. מנות מושלמות, לפי תפריט סגור ומשתנה בהתאם לעונות ולמה שטוב וטעים.
פשוט מקום מדהים הכולל שירות חם ומפנק.

ביקור חובה!

Wow, vegan restaurant serving authentic Arabic food. Prefect dishes based on closed menu that changes from time to time upon seasons and what’s good and tasty.

Simple amazing place with cozy and spoiling service.

A must visit!

Authentic Vegan Arab Meal - Absolutely Delicious

Highly recommended! My dinner at El Galil, a feast of authentic Arab dishes, was certainly one of my favorite vegan dining experiences. The restaurant offers a fixed menu, multicourse meal for 100 shekel per person - a great value considering the tremendous quantity of food that is served. My dinner meal consisted of homeade bread served with 7 delicious dips/spreads, an orange lentil soup, 3 grain dishes (majadra, musabacha, and a Syrian bulgar dish), stuffed grape leaves, sinyeh, a salad, and baklvah with fresh herbal tea for dessert. Each one of the dishes is flavored with a variety of largely unfamiliar spices that are a delight to experience (no need to worry thought, the spices are used delicately and are not overpowering). El Galil was opened about two years ago by a lovely woman from a nearby village, who is genuinely excited to hear how each table heard about her little restaurant. I will certainly be back to visit El Galil on my next trip to the area and I am also excited to try out the breakfast that the restaurant offers.
Note that the restaurant does not accept credit cards (for people without cash, you can always download a money transfer app and pay through it). Also worth noting that if you are searching for a quick meal, this restaurant is probably not the right choice - my dinner was about 2 hours long (all the food is prepared in small quantities for each table).

Pros: Delicious, Great setting, Authentic

Cons: Doesn't accept credit card

מסעדה ערבית אותנטית טבעונית

מקום מיוחד וטעים ברמות, ארוח מושלם. נחזור בקרוב

Pros: ממרחים מפתיעים וטעימים, בעיקר ממרח כרובית ושעועית, בעלת המקום והעובדות מארחות בחום ובלבביות, ארוחה עם המון מנות - תבואו רעבים

Cons: נשמח לטעום כנפה טבעונית

A really nice place

When we got there there was no menu but a fixed set of dishes served in turn: surprising (great) spreads with home made bread; a really good root vegetable soup, some Arabic-style dishes and then a small piece of baklava with tea and coffee. There was also a bottle of water and a bottle of lemonade.

Only problem was that we didn't actually have a say about the food, so the price was a little high - 100 NIS per person, regardless of how hungry we were - which is the problem with no menu. But it actually turned out great for us. We got take-away for the left-overs.

Small place; food is prepared, at least in part, there and then, so you need to be a little patient (no big deal). It's pretty much in the middle of the forest so the view and the air was great.
Good service, homely atomosphere but not too-homely.

Pros: Great food, even surprising, Great view + air, Really nice people,

Cons: A little pricey, Fixed dish (not necessarily a bad thing), The middle of nowhere (the whole area is like that

a place to make you feel welcome, happy and well fed!

The owner is a wonderful, warm and energetic woman who provides a home cooked vegan prefix meal at a very reasonable price. I will be going there every time I am within 50 kilometers from now on! An absolute must if you like to leave a restaurant with a full belly and a smile on your face.

There is no menu, you just get food brought to you. So much food. So good!!!
It costs 100NIS per person but TOTALLY worth it.

WOW! Authentic Vegan Arab Cuisine!

The food was amazing! Especially the Mensali.
A lot of food is served to the table... it's better to leave some space for the main courses.
The owner Elian is very nice and puts a lot of effort into all the food she makes.
Highly recommend!
Notice - Cash only!

האוכל היה מעולה! בעיקר המנזלי.
מוגש לשולחן המון אוכל... כדאי להשאיר מקום לעיקריות ולהגיע רעבים.
הבעלים - אליאן מאד נחמדה ומורגש שהיא מכינה את האוכל מכל הלב.
מאד מומלץ!
שימו לב - תשלום במזומן או בצ׳ק בלבד!

Pros: Mensali, Friendly Owner - Elian, Amazing Food

Cons: Cash only
