That's awesome! Haha yeah the restaurants here are next level. oh wow that's cool! What are the top Somali restaurants in Ottawa? Maybe I can check them out sometime. I went to Montreal recently and there was a nice Somali spot there, will upload the video in a few weeks.

haha yes indeed, I tipped well!
😂 you don’t have to eat the banana with the meat alone, it’s great with rice and veggies and may be along the meat in the mix.
hahaha for sure. Thanks for letting me know! I tried with the rice and mixed everything together as well and the bisbaas, soo goood!

eyvallah
Masha Allah. Vey delicious food.
Thanks so much! Great food as always alhamdulillah
You killed this video for using yo word 😂😂like a million times but all good 😂😂
lool dead on or dead on
I've never seen a Somali restaurant that serves Pakastani or any Asain food its like a diverse buffet kinda thing at that Ishtar restaurant
Yeahh me too! The owner is really smart, he wanted to make something unique that people would love.
@@EatPlayTravel Yeah absolutely great idea mate
@@EatPlayTravel definitely the owner is smart by combining somali cuisine with indian food, the best thing is, due to thousands of years of close trade networks between Somali and indian merchants mainly specialising in cinammon, and other spices, our foods are very similar, both have a rich diverse blend of spices like cinammon cardamom cloves etc with chilli..indian/Pakistani curry is similar to our suqaar
@@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505 haha for sure! I didn't know that before, but by trying Somali cuisine I realized how much trade has an impact of different foods. And by trying different cuisine you really get to understand the history and the people. That's why insha'allah I wish to travel around the world and try local foods and meet and learn from people. Thanks for sharing!
@@EatPlayTravel spot on bro, in shaa Allah your plans of further travel and new adventures come into fruition, Ramadan Karem and may Allah shower his blessings to your kith and kin, Amiin.
Yes May somaliya good👌and lek👍
thanks! 🙏🏽❤️
🇸🇴❤️🇸🇴❤️🇸🇴❤️🇸🇴❤️🇸🇴❤️🇸🇴 very delicious

Somali food is the bomb ... 🇸🇴 ... he went to the store to buy banana 🍌 😂 😂 this guy has Somali in his DNA 😂 ahahaha the banana balances the spiciness so you don’t get a heartburn
Haha yeah yo Somali food is fire 🔥🔥! LOL I had to get banana this time, I got roasted in my other video when I didn't have it. 🤣. Got to do that DNA test. Yeah banana is great epecially with the bisbaas 😍
Hey bro can you fix your audio thank you 🙏🏽

Goormaad Ohio ka fureeysaan laan kale
insha'allah!
It’s pronounced as “bisbaas/basbaas”
oohh haha got it. thanks!
Basbaas is the Somali chili
Haha yeah 100%!
meaning of WARYA is dude , or guy
Great word! It's similar to saying Yaar in Urdu lol
Eat, Play, Travel Ok I learn my first Urdu word lol
@@Akhi-Mo loll blessed!
The green somali chilli source is call bisbaas lool, I laughed when you pronounced it as basbas, which means stop stop in somali you also pronounced it as bisbis lool, this isnclose to the somali word for cat bisad lmaoooooo...but anyways, bisbaas chilli isn't for the samosa although if you have enough of it you can dip a sambuus into it, its mainly for the main course your eating like the rice, pasta or even the stew
hahaha basbas means enough enough or stop stop in urdu as well!! lool that's funny. Yeah I could definitely eat bisbaas with anything, so good!
😂

Naya is the opposite of warya for women.
haha yeah! Thanks for letting me know.
finger crossed hope u dont get sick...walahi its garpage...mushkaki is number 1
lool I don't know what restaurant you went to. But the food here is fire!
@@EatPlayTravel hhhh its 24/7 open they dont have menu that shows the price ..there main customers are thouse who work late and thouse who came from shisha at late i wouldnt give that for my kids ....they can charge you 14 today and tommrow 24 for the same food it depends there mode and the cashier... the food is expensive and it has no taste ...what so ever ...the chief and the employees they dont eat the food from there they buy it from the next shawarma store...or the tim...come on man tell those who life in some were else not me
@@sslh7147 lol idk man when I went I had a blast. I am sharing my honest opinion here. if the restaurant was this bad, I doubt the google reviews would be so high.
U complain have u EVEN been in the restaurang you maby jeoulus becuse u dont have restaurang of your own
If it so bad food how comes so many ppl comes and eat in the resturang?
Naming a restaurant and our daughters after a pagan God is crazy
Say wallah
@@EatPlayTravel yes brother, it’s a variation of the name Ishtar (عشتار) and Allah knows best
@@Shvkour oh okay thanks for letting me know brother
What kind of somali food is that? bbq, ranch, sweet chilli sauce, wtf.............
Is best brrroooo
Whats with your accent dude? Aren't you Pakistani? So speak with your own accent, what you trying to be African by saying you know and ya a million times? Very difficult to understand what you are saying most of the video. a Dislike just for that. Else the restaurant and food is amazing
lool you're funny. I am Pakistani and I grew up in Toronto, in Regent Park. I use Toronto slang no harm in that, and this is my natural accent. Pakistanis can have many accents. Just depends where you grow up. lol yeah I do say you know, ya, yo and bro a lot. That's just how I talk. And don't be racist, there are many Pakistanis in Pakistan that don't have a so called "Pakistani" accent. Because they have english medium schools there so they have more of a British accent.
@@EatPlayTravel whats racist in that?? Cant understand you and ur a content creator. So ur speech needs to be clear right? U can take it as a feedback, or not...upto u. Cheers
