Galito’s Menu Prices in South Africa (2026)
Galito’s sits in an odd spot in South African flame-grilled chicken. A full chicken costs R175, which puts it R50 above Pedros and R30 below Nando’s. Not the cheap option, not the premium one. What you get for the difference is a menu built around things the other two do not sell, chicken livers, jumbo pap, sishebo, morogo, and a heat scale that runs from Lemon and Herb up to Extra Hot.
This page of Galito’s menu is organised by how many people you are feeding rather than by menu category, because that is the decision you are actually making. Full reference tables are further down if you want the whole list.
Best buys at Galito’s
- Cheapest meal: any of the eight Value Meals at R39, such as the Chicken Livers Meal or a Snack Roll with chips.
- Best meal for one: the Laduma Meal at R69, a quarter chicken with a side and a roll. The roll only costs R5 more than the plain quarter-chicken combo.
- Best for two: the Hotbox 5 Piece at R124, which works out to R24.80 a piece with a side included.
- Best for a family: the Value Pack at R199, a full chicken with two sides. Two Value Packs cost R71 less than the Kings Feast Platter if you don’t need the extra rolls.
- Avoid: buying a quarter chicken (R49) and chips (R25) separately. That comes to R74, while the combo is R64.
First, Pick Your Heat
Every flame-grilled item comes basted in one of five flavours, and this choice costs nothing extra.
| Flavour | Heat |
|---|---|
| Lemon + Herb | None |
| BBQ | None |
| Mild | Gentle |
| Hot | Noticeable |
| Extra Hot | Serious |
Separately from the basting, Galito’s sells eight bottled sauces at R29 each. The Kings Feast Platter throws in a free Piri-Piri, which is the only place a sauce comes included.
Eating Alone
The cheapest real meal on the menu is R39, and there are eight of them at that price. Galito’s calls this the Value Meals range and it is the best value on the board by some distance.
| Under R70 | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Livers Meal | R39 | Livers with a Portuguese roll, jumbo pap or spicy rice |
| Snack Roll | R39 | Pulled chicken and coleslaw on a roll, plus regular chips |
| Chicken Mayo Snack Roll | R39 | Pulled chicken, BBQ sauce, GaliMayo, cucumber, plus chips |
| Sticky Chicken & Rice | R39 | Pulled chicken on spicy rice in BBQ, garlic, tomato and onion sauce |
| Sticky Chicken & Pap | R39 | Same sauce, served on pap |
| Saucy Strips & Pap | R39 | Grilled strips on jumbo pap and sishebo, topped with BBQ |
| 1/4 Chicken | R49 | Quarter flame-grilled chicken, nothing else |
| Chicken Burger | R49 | Flame-grilled fillet burger |
| Chicken Cheeseburger | R54 | The above with cheese |
| 1/4 Chicken + Chips, Pap or Rice | R64 | Quarter chicken with one side |
| Chicken Burger + Chips | R64 | Burger with regular chips |
| Laduma Meal | R69 | Quarter chicken, a roll, and your choice of side |
| Chicken Cheeseburger + Chips | R69 | Cheeseburger with chips |
The Laduma Meal is worth singling out. At R69 you get a quarter chicken, a side and a roll. The plain quarter chicken with a side is R64, so the roll costs you R5. That is the smallest upgrade on the menu and the one most people should take.
Going the other way, ordering a bare quarter chicken at R49 and adding chips separately at R25 comes to R74, which is R10 more than the R64 combo. Order the combo.
Feeding Two
| Meal | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Double Up Snack Rolls | R75 | 2 snack rolls, 1 large chips |
| Hotbox 3 Piece | R84 | 3 pieces plus one side |
| 1/2 Chicken | R89 | Half chicken on its own |
| 1/2 Chicken + side | R104 | Half chicken with chips, pap or rice |
| Hotbox 5 Piece | R124 | 5 pieces plus one side |
| Halftime Score | R129 | Half chicken, jumbo pap, chilli bean |
The Hotbox range is the one to understand here. Five pieces at R124 works out to R24.80 a piece. Three pieces at R84 comes to R28 each. The bigger box is cheaper per piece, which is the usual pattern, but the gap is smaller than you might expect because both sizes include only one side.
The Mkhulu Meals
These deserve their own section because nothing on the Nando’s or Pedros menu resembles them. Mkhulu means grandfather, and the meals are built around chicken livers and Portuguese rolls alongside the grilled chicken.
| Meal | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| ¼ Mkhulu Meal | R99 | Quarter chicken, a side, livers, one roll |
| ½ Mkhulu Meal | R159 | Half chicken, a side, livers, two rolls |
Both come with chips, jumbo pap or spicy rice. The quarter version at R99 is R35 more than a plain quarter chicken and chips, which buys you the livers and the roll. Livers on their own are R39 as a Value Meal, so the Mkhulu bundle is marginally cheaper than ordering the two separately.
Feeding a Family
| Meal | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Full Chicken | R175 | Full chicken, no sides |
| Hotbox 7 Piece | R179 | 7 pieces plus two sides |
| Value Pack | R199 | Full chicken plus two sides |
| Power Feast | R229 | Full chicken, 2 jumbo pap, chilli bean |
| Filler Pack | R279 | Full chicken, 2 sides, 2 livers, 4 rolls |
| Full Pack | R299 | Full chicken, 2 large chips, 4 rolls, garden salad |
| Kings Feast Platter | R469 | 2 full chickens, 2 snack rolls, 4 sides, free Piri-Piri |
Two things worth knowing about this range.
A full chicken at R175 costs R3 less than two half chickens at R89 each. Not a meaningful saving, but it does mean there is no penalty for buying whole.
The Kings Feast at R469 gives you two full chickens plus extras. Two Value Packs would be R398 for the same two chickens and four sides. So the Kings Feast costs R71 more and adds two snack rolls, a free sauce, and a wider choice of sides. Whether that is worth it depends on how much you want the rolls.
Bowls and Burgers
The Hearty Bowls come in two sizes, and they are the most filling thing on the menu for the price.
| Bowl | Regular | Large |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Strips & Rice | R65 | R99 |
| Galibowl | R75 | R119 |
| Chicken Strips & Chilli Bean | R75 | R119 |
The Galibowl layers grilled strips over spicy rice, spinach and potato morogo, and sishebo, topped with GaliMayo. It is the most distinctly South African item Galito’s sells.
| Burger | Alone | With chips |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Burger | R49 | R64 |
| Chicken Cheeseburger | R54 | R69 |
| Double Chicken Burger | R74 | R89 |
| Double Chicken Cheeseburger | R84 | R99 |
Adding chips costs R15 across the whole burger range, which is R10 less than buying regular chips separately at R25.
Sides, Salads and Sauces
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Portuguese Roll with butter | R15 |
| Jumbo Pap | R20 |
| Jumbo Pap + Sishebo | R25 |
| Spicy Rice | R25 |
| Coleslaw | R25 |
| Hand-cut Chips, regular | R25 |
| Chilli Bean | R35 |
| Spinach & Potato Morogo | R35 |
| Hand-cut Chips, large | R45 |
| Garden Salad | R49 |
| Chicken Salad | R69 |
| Bottled sauce | R29 |
Jumbo pap at R20 is the cheapest side. Adding sishebo for R5 more is one of the better small decisions available on this menu.
Vegetarians, Kids and Halaal
Vegetarians. Galito’s has no meat-free main course. Everything on the grill, the bowls and the burgers is chicken. You can put a meal together from the sides, though: jumbo pap with sishebo (R25), spinach and potato morogo (R35) and a garden salad (R49) come to R109 for a generous plate. If you eat strictly vegetarian, ask your branch how the sides are prepared. If you want a proper veg main, Nando’s sells a meat-free version of every burger, pita and wrap at the same price as the chicken one.
Kids. Galito’s doesn’t list a kids’ menu. The best options for a child are the R39 Value Meals, such as a Snack Roll with chips or Sticky Chicken and Rice, or a quarter chicken with a side for R64.
Halaal. Halaal status varies by branch, so check the certificate at your store. Our halaal fast food guide explains what a valid certificate looks like and which bodies issue them.
Where Galito’s Sits Against Nando’s and Pedros
All three grill their chicken over flame and all three lean Portuguese. On price they line up in a clear order.
| Portion | Pedros | Galito’s | Nando’s |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quarter chicken | R32.99 | R49 | R60 |
| Half chicken | R64.99 | R89 | R105 |
| Full chicken | R124.99 | R175 | R205 |
Galito’s lands between the two at every portion size. On a full chicken you pay R50 more than Pedros and save R30 against Nando’s.
What the extra buys you over Pedros is the sit-down side of things and a wider menu. What you give up against Nando’s is the restaurant format and the pita and bowl range. The livers, morogo, sishebo and pap are Galito’s own territory, and if those are what you want, neither of the others really competes.

Pizzalito’s
Galito’s runs a separate pizza offering called Pizzalito’s, listed on its own section of the official site rather than the main menu. Availability is limited to selected stores, so it is worth checking whether your branch carries it before planning an order around it.
