" I had high expectations for Xawaash but was met with a couple of issues during my visit. While the chicken kofta tasted fine, it was a bit on the oily side. The service was nice but slow, so we waited a long time for our dishes to arrive. I hope my next visit will be better; the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently visit Xawaash, and it never disappoints! The chicken mandi is sensational, just the right amount of spices that complement the tender chicken. The service is friendly, and they truly make you feel at home. A fantastic spot for families and gatherings. I recommend reserving a table on weekends, as it gets busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Xawaash didn't live up to my expectations. While the food had potential, the portion sizes were rather disappointing for the price, and the service was slow. I had the beef suqaar, which was flavorful, but I noticed it was a bit oily. It lacks the attention to detail that I would have hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing experience! The date cake with ice cream is to die for! It’s wonderful that Xawaash offers traditional Somali dishes, perfect for those looking to explore. The portions were generous and made the meal feel worth it. I recommend it to anyone curious about Somali cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Xawaash for a while now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best places for Somali food. The dishes are rich in flavor and always freshly prepared. The portions are generous, and the service is usually quick. Every visit feels like I'm enjoying a little piece of home. Highly recommend their lamb soup! " (*Curated Review*)

" Xawaash is truly a culinary treasure! The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the lovely ambiance. I ordered the samosas and they were crispy and filled with delicious spiced filling. The chicken kofta was another highlight—so flavorful! The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I will certainly be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have heard great things about Xawaash and finally decided to check it out. The ambiance was inviting, but I wasn't overly impressed with the food. The lamb dish was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. It was a bit too oily for my liking and lacked seasoning. I might give it another shot to see if my experience changes. " (*Curated Review*)
