Istar Restaurant Featured on CBC – A 24-Hour Hub for Somali Cuisine
We are thrilled to be featured on CBC News as a cornerstone of Somali cuisine in Etobicoke, Toronto! In a special highlight by Suresh Doss, Istar Restaurant was recognized for its rich culinary heritage, signature samosas, and its role as a gathering place for the community.
Located in Westown Plaza, Istar has grown from a small coffee shop into a 24-hour diner, serving traditional Somali dishes infused with influences from Indian, Italian, and North American cuisine. Our beloved samosas—available in mild beef, hot beef, and fish—have become a standout, made fresh daily with a special housemade xawaash spice mix and served with our fiery basbaas green dip.

This perfect roast beef recipe is hands down our house favorite!
