I've always wanted to try West African food, and this was a good recommendation by my friend from Nigeria. The food we sampled was all great. I had the Combo 2 consisting of beef & chicken suya with jolof rice. The price was a little pricy at over $20, but I would say it was well worth it. There were a lot of food portions in the order that I was able to take some of the food to-go for eating later at home. The taste of suya was not too much different from other grilled food; however, suya still has its own distinct character. The combination of the grilled meat with the salad or coleslaw with the plantain and jolof rice was exquisite. The spice mix use was also just a little different to make suya distinct. My friend had all praises for his order of the suya wrap. The food item was very filling with generous portions of protein included in it. My only complaint was their transition into the new menu pricing and with their online order was not very smooth at all. They had a card with a QR code that should direct you to the online site for ordering, but the code was not quick to register. There was also no place on the online site to enter the discount code to get 10% off your order. The operators should have been better trained and familiar with the whole online order process and the expected interface that customers will run into. read more

I understand they do not allow ppl with private numbers to order over the phone but they should still answer as some customers may have questions. This is extremely unprofessional behavior. I have the app and I order 3 times a week but this will cause them to lose my and my family's business. read more

Ive never had suya before so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was delicious! Everything was really good! There is WiFi and the service was good. I would definitely recommend the beef, but for for an extra two dollars you can get a mix of two kinds of meats. They also have a poutine option with the the meat of you're choice! Definitely returning for that. UPDATE : Returned for the beef Suya Poutine, it was delicious. If you like spice, make you to let them know to make spicy read more

I never had west African food a day in my life and this was my introduction. What an introduction it was, each dish was packed with flavour and various spices which was amazing!! Their suya beef was the most popular dish but I love their egusi and pounded yam and jollof rice !!! The staff was amazing and very helpful!! read more

Phenomenal food. Everyone who loves flavourful food should eat here! There may be some vegetarian options, but I couldn't find it on the menu. We ordered: Fried plantains Chicken Beef My favourite was the chicken, beef is a bit dry for my liking. Chicken just melted off the bone. Fried plaintains was a massive portion, more than any Jerk place I have been to. Menu is a bit confusing, we also waited 25 mins for our food order, WORTH THE WAIT. Highly recommend it. read more

Finally got around to trying their goat suya last week and oh boy, it was so tasty. The goat is not your fall-off-the-bone kind but I am an oddball who enjoys gnawing on sinewy meat with bones and gristle and all. The portion was generous but since I ordered just the suya, I didn't get a chance to try out their jollof rice or other sides. Definitely for next time. The goat suya comes with a small hot sauce that just blew my mind. I am a fan of anything spicy and their hot sauce was definitely one of the most flavourful hot sauces I've ever had a good fortune to taste. Next time I'm in the store, I'm going to see if they sell their hot sauce! I had about half of my order for one meal and the rest, I dumped into a pot with some water, tomatoes and onions (which came aplenty on top of my goat suya) and made a tasty stew/curry for another lunch the next day. Stewing softened the goat pieces and made for a delicious stew. I will definitely be back to try out more from this fantastic joint. read more

very very poor service the girls acting like they forcing them to sell I've never ordered and got my food on time todays was worst they made me cancel a whole uber trip read more

I really liked it, only thing is when I got my goat it was mostly bone but, I still enjoyed the beef though.

Finally got a chance to try suya spot. I really the goat combo with Jollof rice, however the resturant was out of rice. No problem so I ordered a large container of the goat meat and small order of plantain. Quality: The goat meat was cooked to perfection. Easy to chew. The plantain also was perfectly done. Portion/price: The portion you receive for 20.00 worth of goat meat is a bit pricy. If you you're extremely hungry you might be able to finish 20.00 worth. I know I could. Service: Service was good. Lasting impression: Suya spot is great spot for African style BBQ. Food a nice, people working there are fri Will I be back?? Definitely. Well as I said I'd be back...today I got the goat suya combo. While I did enjoy the quality, the goat meat was a bit tough to chew. Except for the toughness of the goat meat, everything else was done to perfection. Plantain was perfect. Soft and tender. Rice was very nice as well and hot sauce really adds additional flavor to the meal. Hoping to try something different on the menu next time. read more

Stopped by to try this suya Ive been hearing about for a few years now. Ive heard not so good things about the joloff rice so wasnt planning on getting anything beyond suya. But fantastic service from Mike changed my mind. He took care of us and hooked us up with some great suya, joloff and plantain. Definitely going back again. Usually hate Nigerian joloff but the fusion twist takes it to a better level. Thanks a lot Mike! Tip: Get the pepper sauce on the side cause it's hotttt read more

I am very impressed with this restaurant. Mike the owner is amazingly professional, patient and courteous. With regard to patience, he was very thorough in explaining the entire menu as I had a lot of questions. Regarding professionalism, he was very prompt in providing service and notifying us about the length of time to expect our food. Lastly, regarding courtesy, he was exceptionally polite and informative not only as it regards to food but we are tourists from the US and he was quite helpful in informing us of local tourist sites. P.S. the restaurant was also clean and the food presentation was visually pleasing. I would definitely come back to this wonderful restaurant when I visit Toronto! read more

I have no prior experience with suya, so I really can't say whether this is good or bad suya, but it was tasty. Suya is some variant on grilled meat. I tried beef, goat, liver, and tripe. I didn't like the liver, but I never like liver, so that's not saying much. The beef was dry, the goat was not super dry but could have been more tender, and the tripe was my favorite, I think. It's not super cheap at $10-$12 for what's basically like three or four small skewer's worth of meat, but it also isn't super expensive. For whatever reason, of the four of us who got goat, only mine was boneless. I'd rather it had bone because that helps keep things juicy. They also do poutine. The large is the most worth it at about $2-$3 more than the small. It's a huge box. It could have done with smaller cheese curds (smaller, not less) and the chicken bits on my gourmet poutine were on the dry side, but all in all, not bad for the price ($11). I also tried the moi moi (bean pudding) and I rather enjoyed that. It was smokey and bean-y and supposedly had dried seafood in it. I saw shreds of what looked like protein, but I wouldn't have any clue what it was. Not bad, but be prepared to wait. They opened at 2pm today. They were also not serving jollof rice and plantains when we went, so our carb options were quite limited. read more

First and last time at this place. Friendly proprietor, but the meat was so dry it could have been jerky! Taste was good and just the right amount of hot. Too bad because we were really looking forward to a new experience. Looking at pictures of other people's posts and the meat sure didn't look like what we received. read more

Ordered the goat and chicken suya with a side of plantain. Goat was perhaps a little too well done but the overall flavor and char from the grill was perfect. Best to split the suya with another person; it's a lot of meat for one person. Overall this place is perfect when you're trying to satisfy a meat craving. read more

WOW this place is a true hidden gem. First time trying african food and I must say it definitely won't be the last time. The owner was extremely friendly and polite. We ordered the chicken suya (comes with rice and plantains) and it was delicious. The food came with a spicy sauce which was hot even for my standards. Place is known for their beef but were out today,will be going to try this in the coming future. read more

The food is delicious and well made. Mike has great customer service and super invested in explaining the menu so you know what you are ordering. I tried chicken, goat and beef and loved all three. I had to give him credit on the jollof rice (even though it was hard for me as a Nigerian to admit how delicious the rice was...if you know about the jollof rice wars you understand). I would definitely come back here. Thanks Mike!!!! read more

This is 3.5 stars. I'll round up. The bad: * Food came very slowly. * If it takes that long, it should be piping hot, right out of the oven, pan, pot, whatever. It was not. It was somewhat hot. * The chicken was dry instead of the desired moist and tender. * The beef was tough. * Goat was not available that day. * The rice was also not hot and was average in flavour: nothing special The good: * Customer service was good * Cold drink was very cold and price for it was $1 not $1.50, $1.75 or $2.00 like other places * I like the what-you-see-is-what-you-pay pricing * The marinated flavour was nice but too subtle or the imperfect texture distracted from it Conclusion: I can see this having the potential to be great food that you crave but the execution was just not there at least when I visited. The person working there seemed to be very nice so I hope the above improves and the place prospers. read more

Ordered a small beef and a small chicken. The chicken was delicious but the beef was too chewy/dry.

Great service. Great food. The owner gave us a lesson on where the food is from and how it's made. Very friendly and professional. Suya is essentially slow roasted meat, it's spicy and dry to an extent. Definitely worth the drive. read more

I haven't ordered anything from the before. I decided to order Jollof rice yesterday (biggest mistake of my life). The jollof rice is the most horrible thing I have ever tasted in my entire life. I don't know what that shit is, but it's definitely not jollof rice read more

The owner is amazing, and their meat is by far the best!!! Reminds me of my home country!

The goat and beef with jollof rice and plantain is really tasty. You can taste the peanut spice they use to marinate the meat before roasting it. The chili hot sauce they provide on the side is really hot! read more
