Located in the bustling Courtney Park Plaza off of Hurontario. you will find this flavorful and unique restaurant.
Xawaash is the epitome of the greatness of fusion food and it’s flavors. Their dishes are made with the purpose of sharing traditional Somali cooking with those who are not yet familiar, but still satisfying and inspiring nostalgia for those who are. With a strong Mediterranean influence as well, other dishes showcase that fusion of tastes and ideas.
I frequently visited their original location in Etobicoke, so I was thrilled to find out Xawaash was coming to Mississauga. I used to try something new one every visit- and I was never disappointed, but now I am obsessed with their Goat and Lamb Platters. Pictured here is their Goat Platter with Jeweled Rice, from my last dine-in visit. It is just beyond delicious! I’ve had both Goat and Lamb and they are both seasoned similarly, and you can tell they have both been cooked and marinated for long periods of time. Goat is still my favorite with it’s tender, fall off the bone meat. Plated with their Jeweled Rice topped off with fried cranberries, it’s a dish to remember.
Now I have tried numerous dishes from Xawaash so if Goat or Lamb isn’t really your thing- I would recommend their Chicken Mandi with Rice, Xawaash Bowl with Beef Suqaar (plus the fixin’s of rice, hummus, mbogga, ful mudammas and salad) or their Chicken Adana Wrap with Lentil Soup.
This is one of the best things about Xawaash, they have so many dishes to choose from and their quality never falters. I am confident to say ‘Try Anything!’ off their menu because I know it will be better than good!
