I had to come here and drag my coworkers out when I saw all the 5 star reviews. Yelp has come through on this one, in putting Xawaash on my map for the Toronto hit list. It hits hard on my checklist:
1. Good quality food
2. Unique food options
3. Good prices
My coworkers and I were satisfied with our meals. Everything was hot, fresh and tasty. I saw that they had shawarma poutine fries and had to try it. And it was everything I could hope for in something so uniquely Toronto. It was savory and salty and meaty and seasoned in ways I have never had poutine before. I also tried the samosas, which were flakey, light and filled with meat. One of the best samosas I've ever had.
I have never had Somali food before, but this place opened up my mind to it. Its something to try and not too far off from Middle Eastern food that you commonly see in the GTA. Will be coming back again for another good, quick and cheap lunch.
