I finally figured I'd search o line and found this spot. I called and the immediately received a text. Everything was communicated through text, including photos of the menu. You order the day before, and pick a time (it seems like they start around lunch), then pay through Cash App. We met our delivery person at 310 Daniel Webster Hwy Mall Entrance. Nashua, NH 03060, which is one of their drop off locations. It took me a bit to understand the process for ordering and pickup, but I couldn't be happier with the food. We can't wait to try some more items next time! Truly sooooo delicious!

    Interesting concept of a way to try West African meals. I texted to (978) 799-0901 to place an…read moreorder, and was informed that their system was already attending to me. I was contacted via text messaging by an automated attendant. I thought it was quite tedious at first, but I understood they wanted to be clear about what I wanted to order, and what they provide. It was quite expensive, but well worth it because the food was delicious with first class service. I felt like a princess. Keep up the good work guys! Never despise days of small beginnings. Thank you!

    You could say I drove up from South Western Virginia, just for this restaurant. I was not…read moredisappointed. We arrived a little less than an hour before closing time but we were still happily served. Let me be clear, this is a Ugandan restaurant. Okay, moving on. Our food came out, steaming hot and fresh- nothing seemed like it was reheated (try eating reheated posho y'all). We stayed long after the restaurant was closed to finish our food which really gave me the real homey Ugandan vibes. There were also a bunch of Ugandan uncles in the corner just chatting it up the entire time which was fun. Also, there's a store with Ugandan products, raw frozen cassava/matooke, bitenge, and some other Ugandan staples like Royco, Blueband, Majaani, etc!

I can see from the reviews that some people are expecting a smooth assembly line operation like you might expect if you were eating at a cafeteria in Den Bosch in the Netherlands--which I've done. This ain't that. But bring your patience and adaptability and a smile and you'll be rewarded with a hearty country meal East African style. If you want anything spicy ask for it. In the 3rd world in my experience my Anglo looks meant they leave out the spiciness unless you ask otherwise. The vibe is like a Ugandan version of a British village pub full of locals socializing. If you want to meet every Ugandan expat in the Boston area, come on by. But while most of the people were Ugandan we obvious non-Ugandans were greeted with open arms. We asked them to just bring us dinner, and so they did. One interesting thing was the Indian influence--Uganda had had a large Indian community there until Idi Amin appropriated everything they had and kicked them out of the country. I guess some? many? have returned since Idi Amin was kicked out himself. So among the more obviously indigenous chicken stew and cooked plantains as a major starch was samosas and chapatis, much as you'd expect to find in an Indian restaurant. Portions were so big I got two and a half additional meals out of it. I've tried a lot of cuisines--I live in the SF Bay Area which is one of the most multicultural places on Earth--so for me this wasn't all that exotic. Ethiopian food is a lot moreso and a lot hotter, for example. So someone who's only mildly adventurous should do fine here. Actually Cajun cooking from Louisiana is more exotic, frankly. And hotter. And there's nothing on Karubu's menu like that Gulf Cajun fave "Bucket of Mud Bugs" (crawfish). Both my wife and our local friend who dined with us enjoyed our meal, and I look forward to returning on our next trip to Greater Boston. Interestingly both one of our Uber drivers and the night clerk at our hotel were Ugandan and familiar with Karibu and very pleased that we planned to dine there. A lot of the infrastructure people we deal with as we travel are really very interesting people if you talk with them and don't just treat them like they're invisible. And it can make your travels more interesting than just going somewhere and doing the standard tourist things.

    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.

    I may have read significantly on the different cuisines of the world but have yet to try a good…read moreportion of them. Out of the cuisines that I've tried the least, Nigerian cuisines is the one that has always peaked my curiosity as it plays a significant role in the food of the South. It emphasizes bold flavors and contributed to the creation of what we know as Soul Food in the US, and shows the culinary heritage of the African Diaspora. The diversity in the country is also massive due to not only the land size but also from an insane number of different ethnic groups speaking over 500 languages. This uniquely Nigerian diversity (no other country even comes close to this) contributed to a very unique plethora of flavors and expression of food that one could only begin to comprehend through words and pictures. Comprehension as such can only come with experiencing the different cuisines first hand. So while walking along downtown Providence before heading back to Boston, I came across Suya Joint and was excited to see a traditional West African option here! They weren't opened yet at that moment so I lingered in the immediate vicinity until I had my opportunity to walk through those doors! After all, I've been wanting to try more Nigerian food to understand their flavors better. The moment I walked in as their doors opened, I fell in love with their decor. It was clean, artful, and representative of the culture in a unique way. What further enhanced the experience shortly after were the patrons who came in one after the other. I would overhear different tables have conversations with the server detailing their African ancestry. And by the time I was finished eating, there were at least nine African nations represented inside. As for the food, since I was still very new to this cuisine, I came with a very open mind willing to try anything and everything. Our server recommended the African dinner so I could easily sample their most popular dishes. I decided to add their unique meat to it by ordering "Orishirishi" (translates as "variety"), which included tripe and cow feet, to further enhance the experience. All I can say as the food came was this was definitely a culinary experience that finished this weekend beautifully. I'm in love with the cuisine and now want to come back and try more items on their menu. Thankfully, they have a location in Boston as well so I wouldn't need to drive back there just for the food. The Egusi stew, which is one of their most popular items, was tonguegasmically good. My eyes rolled with each taste. It awoken my soul and made me feel alive again. The Jollof Rice here shamed every other version of it I've had in the past...like they were not even good enough to be called copycats. And the Orishirishi? Epically good. It was so rich, so flavorful, so GOOD that I completely plowed through it like my life depended on it. What is this madness? Where have I been my whole life? Whatever it is...I have to come back to Suya Joint again soon - either here or the one in Boston. I just have to have this food again. BEST FIND in 2026 so far! Definitely recommend a visit!
