" After visiting Xawaash for the first time, I have to say that the food doesn't match the hype. The chicken adana lacked the flavor I anticipated, and my portion felt smaller than expected for the price. While the atmosphere is pleasant, I found myself wishing for more vibrant flavors. The service was decent, though nothing remarkable. I can't say I would return basing it solely on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite dish at Xawaash is definitely the lamb mandi; it's tender and flavorful! The decor is vibrant and gives a real East African feel. The staff are friendly and make every effort to ensure you enjoy your meal. This is a perfect spot for family gatherings, as the portions are generous. I feel I always get my money's worth here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Xawaash was a pleasant surprise! I was hesitant to try it, thinking it was like the usual Middle Eastern spots, but their Somali twist is exceptionally refreshing. I had the chicken mandi, which was loaded with rich flavors. Service was friendly and attentive, with most dishes coming out promptly. I genuinely appreciate the authentic touch in every bite and can't wait to recommend this place to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had an incredible time at Xawaash! We tried multiple dishes, including the chicken mandi, which was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic and vibrant, reminding me of home-cooked meals. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was attentive, making us feel valued. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy traditional Somali food. We will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Xawaash after hearing glowing reviews, but I left feeling a bit disappointed. The chicken mandi was decent, but I've had much better in other Somali restaurants. The portion sizes were acceptable, but the flavors could use stronger spices to enhance authenticity. The décor was cozy, but the service left something to be desired; our server seemed overwhelmed and we had to wait too long for our orders. I hope this was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Xawaash twice already, and both times I was not disappointed. The ambiance is modern yet cozy, making it a nice place to unwind with good food. I absolutely loved their lamb chops, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Have to mention the dessert as well – the date cake was the cherry on top! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a tasty meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Xawaash more out of convenience, but ended up falling in love with their chicken suqaar. The spices were on point and the team's pride in their food really shone through. The only downside was the seating arrangement - it felt a little cramped at times, but the warmth of the staff made up for it. Would be great to visit again when I’m in the area!
