Galilee’s house bread looks like pita, but the first bite into one of the puffy halves of the round flatbread, delivered still warm from the oven, reveals a deeper flavor. Galilee is among Nashville’s few Egyptian restaurants, and aside from a couple of American dishes on the menu to appease toddlers and Nashville diners with no culinary curiosity, it’s as authentic as it gets outside of the northeast African country. The aish baladi can stand alone, used as a scoop for dips and sauces, or wrapped around a fat patty of ground meat seasoned with cumin, coriander, allspice, diced onion and garlic, baked then finished on the flattop, known as hawawshi. Don’t miss it.
