Bilal Restaurant Somali Cuisine

Nice casual place. Food is always so consistently good. Servings are very generous. 100% comfort food. Chicken steak is 20 minute wait but worth it!

Relatively healthy food, tastes good and meat wasn't very rich in flavour. Rice tasted delicious and perhaps buttery. The salad was good, of a standard vinegary flavour. There was noticeably less salt in the goat and lamb than any other eatery I've been to. I liked the lentil soup, but I think lentil soup is hard to mess up and I've had better. Dishes are close to $20 each before tax. I'm curious if there are more savoury dishes in Somali cuisine. I may come back to try it if the restaurant replies with more info. It's a sit-down place and they bring the food to your table so custom would dictate that you should tip. They don't really have attentive staff as they have one person working who often disappears behind the kitchen door. However they'll pop out every so often. For a sit-down place, it is poorly lit and a bit run down. They had a monitor on but it was just playing commercials instead of anything entertaining or news. It might have been fun to be asked if we wanted to see anything in particular since there was no one else in the restaurant.

We love going to Bilal restaurant in Etobicoke. Their food is super delicious, specially goat, chicken drumsticks and lamb. The serving size is great and the price is very reasonable, considering the soup(depends on availability) and drink is also included. Too bad they are far from Brampton or we would visit them every week. Highly recommended!!

Excellent restaurant but stingy with the sauce. They don’t even have option to buy extra.

Delicious somali food, and nice portion and the price is absolutely reasonable. I recommend it I also noticed they were doing catering.

Had the lamb on rice the lamb was mostly fat with little meat and it took almost 30 mins for the food to come, the decor inside is drab and could use a renovation they had the AC inside blasting when it wasnt even hot outside. For Somali people this is up to standard but i am a Canadian citizen and this place feels very third world.

The service from these people is top, top. The soup is second to none, very fresh and well seasoned.

Only goat steaks and rice dishes are traditional 😋 tastes, but chicken is kind of KFC fried. Lentils soup is OK.
