Mushkaki’s

Went there to celebrate my sister’s birthday with a few friends… the food options are different for the usual halal places and the prices are amazing! Very cheap and tasty meals… however i am not sure if i over-​ate or something was wrong with my specific order (steaks) but i threw up as soon as i got home… however everyone else was fine… so maybe just my meal was not fresh. Will go back again to find out if throw up again or not.

The quality of the restaurant has started to go down. I work close by, so i used to go there often for lunch with coworkers. the fries have started to become bad, uncooked (same from a few times). I have had chicken sandwich which is on a lunch deal, a pretty good deal, sandwich + fries + pop. The owner is a nice guy with not so help in the kitchen. Hope this place gets better and we start going there again.

Everything on the menu tastes different and unique! I especially love the spicy chicken and alfredo. The wraps are huge and tasteful. Great value for your money! Would love to try the desserts next time.

Don’t believe the hype… it’s a solid 6 out of 10 service was a bit slow. The food lacked flavour and was not very fresh.

It’s located next to a gas station, noticed it while pumping gas. I had the Mushkaki fries, which are sweet with pieces of fried chicken being semi hot. I also had the Mushkaki burger which I didn’t fancy to much because it comes with a fried egg on the beef patty. The owner is hard working and makes most of the menu from scratch.
However it is a Somalian restaurant in which the menu is inspired from. Another note the washrooms are bad and are located in the basement of the unit. If your in the area of Kipling and Rexdale, get the fries.

Saw good reviews, thought I’d try it. Bad, bad mistake!
Very Slow, indifferent service, it appeared they could care less whether you were in their place or not. Average quality food, but priced like a Bistro, just plain over-​priced for what you get.
Then I tried the food. Over-​cooked burger, burnt outside and dry inside, and my date got undercooked chicken. I finished eating (half was all I could stomach), before they returned with anew plate, and it was undercooked again (pink inside beside the bones).
We left, they offered no refund, and again appeared they could care less about our experience at their establishment.
Unfortunately you have to give at least one star on Unilocal.They didn’t deserve it.
Avoid at all costs.

This place was highly rated, but honestly its nothing really to special. Nothing more then a regular burger. No real distinctive favour to make it memorable. It wasnt a bad burger but it wasn’t great. It’s a bit more pricy for a simple burger. Probably not going head back for the reason it is out of my way and it’s nothing special.

Quality and meal size have remained consistently great. Staff is very nice.
A note to have patience when sitting down. The table may not be bussed immediately

I was expecting better results from the reviews. honestly. I’d give it 3 stars personally. the only reason for the 4 stars is because of the Mango Shake! It’s sooooo good! And the beef Makshaki or whatever burger it’s called. is pretty decent, I’d order it again. Now I got the Makshaki fries and I did Not enjoy it. if you like Bbq sauce then you will be in Heaven. I only like Bbq sauce on bbq’d food. the fries and chicken were DRENCHED in bbq sauce. that’s discusting to me. it was a little much. but I’m about to get zoned in approximately 10 minutes. so I guess my left overs will taste amazing then, hehe. The End. Lololol but I recommend for the burgers definitely and I will get plain fries next time.

Good service and food is delicious. Been there many times they are so hospitable. The beef is the best

It took 35 mins just to get a strawberry shake it takes too long horrible customer service

I found this hidden gem when I was searching for a restaurant for my birthday lunch with coworkers.
If you make it to this place you are in for a surprise, the menu is great with variety of choices to indulge on. Everything is made then and is fresh!
Service was exceptional as we walked in with around 10 people and there were plenty of seats. The owner/​cashier at the till was very friendly and patient with us till we figure our what to get as everything on the menu looks good.
Food-​wise people went with burgers, Honey Garlic Chicken, Spicy Chicken, Quesadilla and Pasta w. Roseo Sauce and all the people enjoyed the food as it was fresh and hot.
I went with Mushkaki Beef Burger which is topped with lettuce, tomato, fried egg, cheese, mushkaki sauce, ketchup, and mayo. I also added one more beef patty on to the burger… and WOW the burger was too good! hot, cooked well and yet juicy and the egg went so well with it. I also choose their spicy fries and they were very good, crispy and with a different taste.
The portions are really good also expect a bit of a wait as the food comes out fresh. They have a TV in the restaurant for sports fan.
I will definitely come back as there is so much to try especially Mushkaki Fries. Which the owner stated is a meal to itself as it comes with chicken in the fries.
For my Muslim Folks — This place is Halal friendly and their entire menu is Halal, also stated on their site.

The service at this halal restaurant is great. The menu has a lot of variety. Everything is freshly made and tasty.
I spent like literally 10 minutes looking at the menu trying to pick 1 thing because I wanted to order like 4 things. They had everything from burgers to pasta to ribs. There’s something for everyone here.
Mushkaki, I learned at the restaurant, is Arabic and East African for «bbq» or «grill». The staff were very very friendly and well acquainted with the customers. They were happy to explain menu items with pride and make a suggestion.
I decided to go for the mushkaki fries. It was fries with barbecue sauce, cheese sauce, green onions and sauteed chunks of chicken. It was very tasty. And very saucy and strong in taste. The BBQ sauce was kind of sweet but very BBQ’y. As an adult I would say that it probably had too much sauce but I think teenagers and kids would like it. If you are interested in this dish, I would just suggest that you ask them to just drizzle the bbq sauce on the dish.
Everything is freshly made so expect to wait a little bit before you get your meal. You can call ahead and order and pick it up.
There is a lot of seating and there is a TV that had sports on.
I would say that this place is good for family n friends hang to out for a quick bite.
I will be back and I would recommend this place to anyone.

$ 12 for combo and burger patty was overcooked tasted like it’s wasn’t even beef, fries was undercooked
no wonder this place is dead
Wendy’s have better burgers

I was skeptical of trying this restaurant at first but I’m glad I did. Their Mushkaki chicken is to die for. Their burgers are perfect. I also tried their chicken steak but didn’t like it as much as the mushkaki chicken.
The price is amazing for the delicious food and portions are HUGE.

Although this is right down the street from me and apparently been open for 2 years, I had no idea it was there until I came across it on Unilocal.It is a little family owned place where they buy their food fresh and everything on the menu is homemade! So far I have tried their beef burger, soup and quesadillas.
First off, I am very picky about my burgers but I finally found one I enjoy! The burgers are wonderful. fresh, not too thick (I don’t like extremely thick burgers, this is just right) and tasty. The quesadillas were very good as well, filled with chicken, cheese and vegetables but I have to say the winner here is the soup! It is absolutely amazing and was quite a welcome surprise! First of all if you’re dining in the soup is complimentary, otherwise it is $ 3 for a small container that will give you just a little more then half a regular soup bowl but is so worth it! I have gone back every night this past week just to buy 2 orders of the soup. There have been 2 different kinds so far that were very similar but impossible to decide which was better. They were both a vegetable based cream soup of some sort, apparently made by the mother that have been just to die for. perfectly seasoned with just the right thickness. I think I’m addicted.lol.
Prices are very reasonable and the people friendly. A must try if you are in the area!
