Etob Restaurant, nestled in Etobicoke, Ontario, is a gem for East African cuisine enthusiasts. Renowned for its authentic Somali dishes, diners rave about the BBQ Chicken Drumsticks and the house specialty, BBQ Short Ribs, both served with options of rice, pasta, or sabayad. The menu's standout selections include Beef Suqaar, a flavorful stew that pairs beautifully with Somali chapati, and succulent Chicken and Beef Steak dishes. Patrons have noted the generous portions, complimenting the vibrant flavors that leave a lasting impression. Reviews highlight a cozy ambiance, making it an inviting choice for family dinners or casual outings with friends. The restaurant offers complimentary mango juice with every meal, which is a sweet touch that guests appreciate. While some reviews mentioned the disappointment of seasonal menu changes, particularly regarding their beloved soup, the overall sentiment remains positive. Many diners, like Bekele Zack and Lone Wolf, suggest that first-time visitors should not miss out on the ribs and chicken steak. With attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, Etob Restaurant stands out as a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality East African flavors.

Reviews For Etob Restaurant

I don’t know how authentic the food is, I’m not too familiar with ethnic Somali food, but whatever this is, is really good. The chicken steak is really delicious. They’re most known for their ribs though. Which are amazing but I don’t like eating with my hands and I’m not a huge fan of fat so I usually go for the chicken. Rice and spaghetti are solid but nothing special, like a 6 or 7 out of 10. I’ve never left this place disappointed in the food. Drinks are super sugary but also really good. They have mango and lemonade, the lemonade being less sugary than the mango. All in all, if you like saucy meat, this place is for you. They also have fried chicken legs, beef steak and salmon. All are great but you’re really missing if you’re not going for ribs or chicken steak on your first visit. You can try the rest another time. I hope this review is of help to whoever is reading this. Enjoy!

Tried chicken steak recently, it comes along with rice, gravy and mango juice. The food was delicious and fresh. The restaurant is clean and best option for Somali food.

This is the first place I got introduced to Somali food I would say dating back to 2006-2007. I've tried a variety of their dishes my friends and I have decided its a must to get the beef ribs 10/10. The food comes in very genrous portions, refills on the juice. Im really sad and dissapointed that they stopped serving soup they mentioned its only seasonal now for winter I beleive. I drive an hour from the eastend and when there is no soup I am sad. I have taken up my frustrations with them many times but they dont seem to care. They have one the best soups I've had compared to other Somali spots. Bring back the soup permanentley!!!!!!
