Beautifully decorated and unique, Suya Joint is a must visit destination in downtown Providence…read more I've had the pleasure of dining here a few times now and each time I'm even more impressed than the last. We wanted a good dinner tonight so we stopped by Suya Joint around 5:30 and had no trouble finding a table. I'd also like to give a shoutout to our waitress who was incredibly friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She's one of the main reasons why we keep coming back. She even came over when our food was put down to make sure we knew exactly what we were eating and had to do it. I've worked with people of Ghanian and Nigerian descent so I do know what good African food tastes like, and this place is one of the best. Tonight I ordered the taushe with fufu and was very happy with it! The fufu tastes great, a little sticky but I enjoy the texture and think it works great for dipping. The taushe had great flavor, was very filling, and was seasoned expertly. My only minor critique is that some of the pieces of my beef were large which made it a challenge to eat inside the stew. But it's a dish that I definitely recommend to anyone. My mango juice was also very tasty and I enjoyed the whole experience once again. Prices are on the higher side but I never mind paying for quality food.

Absolutely delicious traditional African food! I hadn't had jollof rice for a really long time, and…read moreI forgot how delicious it is, especially when it's done well. The chicken we had with the jollof rice was also perfectly seasoned and cooked. We also tried one of the traditional stews, which was rich in flavor with well cooked beef. Our waitress was super helpful in helping us pair a swallow with the stew we had chosen too. Service was always prompt, and they were also super helpful in teaching how to eat the stew traditionally with the swallow. I love when restaurants bring delicious food and new things to learn. We will be back soon!

It feels like you are visiting someone's home and you are immediately comfortable. Joe was very attentive and kind. The music was fantastic. We started off with the warm, buttery cornbread and plantains with a spicy herring sauce. The food was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The jollof rice was delicious. The cocktails were refreshing and tasty. Jo and Ro's mom was so kind and sweet, and she cooks all of the meals. I highly recommend JoRo. This was our first time trying a lot of the dishes and the ladies and I loved it.

I loved the family feel! Joel mixed up delicious drinks for us. We had espressRo martinis, pain killers, old fashions, and wine. Everyone loved their cocktails. For food, we tried most of the snacks/shareables: Cornbread - dense and delicious Meat skewers with pepper sauce - quite the kick, but definitely a favorite Lasagna bites - savory and flavorful Mac and cheese bites - excellent comfort food Fried chicken - the meat falls right off the bone Fried plantains - sweet with an optional kick Everything was served hot out of the oven and we got to enjoy our food while appreciating gentle music from a vocalists and keyboardist. Her voice was amazing and not too overbearing for dinnertime conversations. Joel was an excellent host, server, mixologist - you name it. He made you feel at home and everything was served to perfection. We will be back!

The first time I randomly came across the pop-up sign outside and couldn't resist not going in and checking it out. After that, I started to follow them on instagram, @suis.ri. suis offers limited quantities of roll cakes, mini cake boxes, shio pan, choux, and beverages. I've had their jasmine milk matcha and the salted cookie butter matcha. Both drinks are DELICIOUS! The jasmine smell and flavor really comes through and I've gotten it both times I've visited the pop-up. The salted cookie butter matcha is a must get if you like/love speculoos. I've also tried the dubai chocolate tiramisu, biscoff cookie tiramisu, and mango coconut sticky rice mini cake box. They're all SOOOO good and packed with flavors!!! I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order from suis. On pop-up days, suis usually offers a free item with purchase for the first 12 customers so get in line early. It is definitely worth the wait! All the items are limited quantities so they do run out. Be sure to get there early and prepare to queue up. The line moves and you'll have time to look at the menu on your phone.

I loved the jallof rice sample but decided to try the egusi stew with tilapia. It was very flavorful with a fair amount of spice. The fufu was really good and I enjoyed the red sauce that topped the entire dish. The egusi stew itself had a pretty strong shellfish flavor (from crawfish and I think something else). It wasn't my favorite, but I'm glad I tried it. I think next time I would definitely get the jallof rice :)

I was looking for a nearby tea house and saw that this place was about to close. I called, and the girl who answered the phone was so kind she said she would wait for us. When we arrived, the owner was extremely nice and welcoming. I ordered tea for my younger daughter, who loved both the tea and the atmosphere. I also ordered tea for my college-bound daughter who wasn't feeling well. When I explained that she was very sick and had requested tea, the owner not only brought out her drink but also made her a second one special, just for her saying he hoped she would feel better. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us. This place is adorable, the service is amazing, and they've definitely gained another loyal customer. We'll absolutely be back.

I was keeping it "healthy" but there were so many other tempting things i want to go back to have. The chicken was very flavorful, not dry but spicy!
