Best Somali owned restaurants

[Furioso]

The best ones in Toronto are Xawash, Bilal, and Mushkaki. Xawash has really good shawarma chicken. Bilal's chicken drumsticks and mango juice are world class. Mushaki is the Somali version of Subway. Their fries are bomb.

Hamdi and Istar are the most popular I think. I've never been to Istar tho but I got to Hamdi every now and then when I'm in the city

You couldn't pay me to go to Hamdi. Their food is lacking. Bilal has much better food.

Hamdi 50% of the time is giving you the driest shittiest hilib imaginable. I only go there bcs it's conveniently on the 401. No doubt my Dad hits up the other restaurants when he heads down to Toronto to chill with his friends. He's prob too lazy to drive too far from the highway when he gets takeout.

Xawaash beef sambusas
The owners are really nice too. Istaar is also pretty good

The best Somali restaurant ever is Deg Deg. I'll give this one to the Americans.

I would go to Minnesota just for a bite of their chicken quesadillas. It's to die for. What do they put in their sauce? It's magical.

@Furioso when Hamdi layers the nasty Rosemary on the hilib sometimes

 

[Mahacagalla]

Mushkaki is really good but why the fellas there are so childish?

I don't go anywhere near their hilib. I leave that for my parents. I just nibble on their drumsticks. Maybe it's just me but their soup smells awful. It reeks.

The lamb ribs are the only redeeming thing. That fat on it makes even their dry meat nice and moist

You drink their soup??? You need a medal of honour. I go nowhere near anything other than their baris and hilib

What did they do to you lol?

 

[Mahacagalla]

Do y’all ever eat at a Somali restaurant and feel you wasted your money? Like you could’ve just got that food from home? Is this how Italians and Koreans feel at their respective ethnic eateries?

Yup those were the ones, the ones @Furioso named were the unknowns

Don't listen to these niggas there is only one popping somali restaurant in Toronto and its MUSHKAKIIII

 

[Mahacagalla]

Nothing really they just cause huge ruckus every time I sit down to eat there.

Imagine we was both there at the same time abaayo. Small world.
