This is a great example of an awesome place I would never have known about if I didn't have Yelp. I live in Etobicoke and don't often venture up this way for food but it's really easy to get here. Right beside Woodbine and not far from the airport.
The place is very modern, clean and inviting inside with Ipads in the booths which you can watch the news or sports on. We ordered the chicken kebob with rice and salad and OMG it was delicious. The chicken was very juicy and not dried out like half of the greek/mediterranean/Turkish places in Toronto. The rice had a distinct spice to it which is different from anything I had previously tried and the salad was fresh. We also ordered Somalian teas which were different than anything I had tried before and very delicious. Like everyone else is saying here, you need to try the donuts...I had the nutella filled one and it was warm and packed with nutella. All in all it was one of the most satisfying meals I've had in awhile and I can't wait to come back and try different menu items.
The owner came up to us while we were eating and asked how everything was and if we needed anymore sauce and was very friendly. You can tell he cares very much about his business.
If you didn't know, Xawaash also has a food blog/ youtube channel were you can find countless recipes of Somalian dishes as well as Italian recipes and desserts, etc.
Can't wait to come back, such a great Yelp find.
