Al-Aruba Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

Updated review: Recently got cookies and xalwo from there as I had guests. I should have known better. The xalwo didn’t taste that great and the cookies were stale. I couldn’t even eat it myself forget my guests. Will never return

Previous review: There was no one around in the restaurant. We called out and rang the little bell a couple of times, but no one came.

And how I found them was a recommendation from a stranger standing behind me in line at a different samosa restaurant closer to home when she over heard me saying I hope they also had beef samosas. Thanks stranger....
