Kal & Mooy

Wow what amazing samosa have l eat tonight. It is so far the best samosa l have eaten in years. Samosa was delicious. Crunch at same same time tender and tasteful… Check out also the rice with chicken soqor or goat with the rice. But tonight#Samosa was amazing.#

Samosas were very disappointing. More than half of the fillings consisted of onions… which was overpowering. The middle of my samosas were still cold so I had to reheat them. Definitely not worth the price or the hype!

Having eaten many a meal at both the Kal & Mooy food truck as well as the physical location on Queen West, I can easily and confidently say everything on the menu is delicious. Everything is fresh, homemade & it shows. The samosas are the best in the city, and the soup is a hidden gem. Reasonable prices, standing tables to eat your lunch, and always kind people running this place. Love ending up on Queen West so I can support this great place.

I went there and was able to try 2 samosas, a goat and rice dish, and a beef stew dish.
I’ve never had East African cuisine, but I felt that the flavours were sporadically placed around. I tasted the veggies and then had pomegranate seeds that added nice colour appeal to the meal, but I felt that they were either garnish or really just unneeded. I saw the lime and when eating the goat it felt just like slow cooked meat where it fell apart and was very tender.
They are known for their «best samosas in North America» and their various spices. I found them disappointing on both fronts.
$ 12 for the meal was a bit pricey.

Delicious! Food truck eats in the summer — Queen Street eats year round! Pick up their frozen samosas for at home enjoyment! One of my top picks for Toronto food!

Authentic and delicious. The food is something between Indian and Mexican.
It was a different experience

Simply amazing! I went here with a colleague for the first time last Friday. He ordered a dish with goat and I ordered the Suqaar chicken dish. We agreed to exchange a sample of each others dish; lets just say that didn’t happen. In a nut shell once we started eating our meals we went into a this is delicious auto pilot eating mode. I just got back from the restaurant with the same order. A complete balance of flavours. $ 7.91 with taxes included is an amazing price for great quality food. Thank you Kal & Mooy!

Came here on a cool November day with a small group as part of a food tour, and this may have been THE find of the day! We had a number of stops, but halfway through we ran into the Queen Street Food Market to try Kal & Mooy’s samosas. They make them to-​order, freshly deep fried and doused in a savoury sauce. At $ 7 for four, they were a steal given that they were clearly homemade with lean, high-​quality meat (we had two each of chicken and beef). They were so uniquely different from any East or West-​Indian samosas any of us had ever had, that we all agreed we needed to return. On top of that, while we were waiting for the samosas, I started to chat up Aisha, the wife of the husband-​wife team who own and run both the storefront and the food truck, as I didn’t even know that we were eating Somali cuisine! She explained to all of us the origin of the Kal & Mooy name as the mortar & pestle-​type tools they use to pound out ingredients like spices and corn meal. WIthout hesitation, Aisha immediately offered us a VERY large sample container of the chicken suqaat stew served on rice and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, as well as two different heat levels of their house-​made hot sauce. All for free!!! The stew was a delicious, slow-​cooked dish of tender chicken chunks, carrots, and other veggies with one of those gravies that you would straight-​up drink, if you could… Looking at their menu, there are many other delicious-​sounding dishes I am excited to try… So happy to experience yet another of the great cuisines that make living here so amazing! Return visits are a MUST!!!

The flavor and the quality of the food was amazing, given the fact this place is a little stall in a food court.
I got the hot quinoa salad with goat. It was delicious and had fresh pomegranate seeds in it! The only downside is that it was quite oily and all the veggies and grains were drenched in oil. Next time I order, I might ask for the meat on the side – I think that should fix it.
There is no seating however! There are standing tables (shared with other eateries), and a few benches outside if the weather is nice.

Had the goat and rice with veggies dish. A bit on the pricey side (12+tax) for a lunch dish, but worth every penny.
Very tasty with a nice heat, dish is served fresh, the goat meat is succulent and falls off the bone, the veggies are superb with a nice tomato sauce.
The serving size is huge, I do wish they had a smaller size at lunch price.
My friend ordered the fresh samosas and soup du jour, and loved the samosas.
If you are in the area I highly recommend checking this place out for some fresh home cooking.

Delicious! So flavorful and fresh, it didn’t even matter that there wasn’t seating. Will definitely be going back and keeping an eye out for the food truck.

Beef was kind of dry. But overall decent and cheap, happy.

Her food is insanely delicious its. jsut. so. good. tbh they have this vegan soup thats just like ??? how can anything vegan be this delicious. my fan fav is the GOAT MEAT dish. mhm is GOATTTTT. the meat is so tender u can suckle the marrow out from the bone, imagine it. it come with rice, veggies, and GOAT MEAT. the rice is beautiful and she sprinkles pmegranate seed on top WOWOWOWOOWWOWOWOWOWOWO. it’s my all time favorite and tbh probably the best food ive had in toronto and tbh like… PLEASE GO HERE!!! SRSLY I just LOVE the lady who works here and to eat her food is a tantilizing fantasy, so beautiful and amazing

Stopped by tonight for the first time and walked into this little food court. Got the food to go after some great hosting by the owner. We spoke about her home cooking and everything from scratch approach. I got home and indulged into exploding flavours and perfect consistency. I’ll be going back to try more! The soup was tasty and loved my veggies and rice!

Amazing flavours, lovely owners that will take time to explain the ingredients and preparation. All made with love and pretty much everything can be made vegetation (and I think gluten free). Stopped into their food court location and my mouth was so so so happy!
It’s grab-​and-​go, with a few stand-​up tables. We were there around 6pm so it was easy!
Yummy!

On some Thursdays, Kay & Mooy have a food truck on Bloor St East in front of the Manulife building. I happened to pass by their truck and give it a try.
The staff in the truck were very helpful in explaining the menu items. Very friendly bunch and made my experience that much enjoyable.
I had a Sabaya wrap with Chicken, Mushroom pepper onion lettuce carrot cheese and their specialty Sweet sauce. It tasted more like a savoury crêpe than a wrap or a burrito. The wrap itself was nice and thin so I obviously made a bit of a mess while eating it. The sauce made it a bit sloppy but blended the flavours of the ingredients together. It was a great lunch option and I would love to try their either menu items.
The lady next to me had a samosa. She ate it on the spot and demanded for another one because it was so good. I will be sure to try that next time.

They have some great vegan options like samaos, anjera and sabaya wrap. The owners are a husband wife team and super friendly. The location on Queen is probably temporary as the building is mostly empty. I also appreciate their effort to use organic ingredients as much as possible. Prices are reasonable given the portions!

I really love the goat and rice dish!!! There’s an assortment of veg, pomegranate seeds, raisins, and a slice of lime for that extra pop of brightness. A very good portion for $ 12.
If you like your food spicy, get the hot sauce.
The samosas are totally different from Indian samosas. Give ‘em a try too! $ 2 each.
The wife in the standalone food court building is so friendly. The husband takes care of the food truck roamin’ the streets of Toronto!

Talking with the owners I discovered that most of the veggies are organic, but not 100% of them, so they don’t advertise it. Really carefully created food — beautiful colours and complex flavours — love the sauce on the sambusas/​samosas. And the hot salad — a veggie dream. and the stews are good. and the beef they use is a good cut — not chewy! I usually avoid beef at a restaurant, but theirs is delicious! Try to find the food truck as well — @KalandMooy

I bumped into the food truck at Trinity Bellwoods park last summer and just loved it. A friend is from Somalia and speaks perfect Italian and I always wanted to try somalian cuisine. I missed my chance for a goat platter out in San Jose, CA so now I can go local (within 100km) of course.
Their truck is bright blue with a photo of their super Samosas. The claim East African Food but hey lets go by Country shall we fellow Unilocalers!
I was off to BMV on Queen street (its now closed) and ran into the market food lane to warm up and saw their booth. Hmmmmm bingo bingo bango
Have the Beef Samosas of course and they are not greasy
I had their beef and veggie dish served up on Sabaya which is a somalian flatbread. They are nicely spiced but I expected hotter but dont worry they have hot sauce to squirt on it.
They love to use garlic, cilantro and red onions in their cooking.
I plan to go back and enjoy their Soor dish which includes grits or white cornmeal as opposed to rice. I also need to have some goat
Aisha and Ahmed are two very hard working and very happy chefs. They are doing what they love and really has taken the food truck idea into a restaurant for the winter. If may stay afterwards in the summer along with the food truck who knows but I do know one thing YOU GOTTA EAT HERE.
