First opened in Etobicoke in March 2015, Xawaash is a Somali Mediterranean restaurant featuring healthy, freshly-crafted meals. We provide freshly grilled meat and vegetarian entrees served with sides such as hot, oven-baked pitas, fragrant Somali rice, and flavorful salads. Many of our dishes have been crafted with the purpose of sharing traditional Somali cooking with those who are not yet familiar, while satisfying and inspiring nostalgia in those who are. Other dishes showcase the strong influence that various cultures and ethnicities have had on Somalia throughout its history.
