Suya Suya takes its name from suya, the spicy grilled meat skewers sold by roadside vendors across West Africa. The restaurant's story traces back to childhood memories of a father bringing suya home from work, the whole family sharing a plate together — a tradition the restaurant now extends to its customers.
The menu builds out from those skewers into other West African staples: jollof rice, waakye (rice and beans), fufu soup, egusi soup, puff puff, and zobo drink. Regulars have singled out the jollof rice and suya in particular.
The original location sits on Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, with a second outpost in Bala Cynwyd.
The Infatuation scored Suya Suya an 8.5 out of 10.
