  “Well deserving of its legendary status. For those who don't know, as soon as you come into the restaurant you have to go to the counter at the very end to place your order. No money is taken at that time. You are given a number and you wait till that number is called out and then you personalise your purchase. That is the time that payment is taken. There are a couple of seats outside where you can eat your food if you can't resist eating it at once. There is no online ordering or telephone ordering.”

  “Best Suya in London hands down! The wait is challenging at times but it’s all been cooked on the go and the wait is well worth it. Yum!”

  “I’m a regular customer and genuinely enjoy the food here. However, I’m concerned about the way staff are treated. On several occasions, I’ve witnessed the manager speaking to staff in a condescending manner. It’s important to create a positive and respectful environment for employees, and it’s not appropriate for customers to be exposed to this kind of behaviour.”

  “Really good Suya! I grew up eating Kano and Kaduna Suya which has the best Suya in NG and this is the closest to authentic. The Tozo meat cut was tasty and not dry and wings succulent. All that’s missing is some Masa!”

  “They just gained a loyal customer. The suya was too sweeeeeeet🤭 as I’m writing this review, I’m craving it. They have all sorts of meat on the grill, very well spiced and seasoned. They were fast with my order and they had drinks as well. They had great customer service and they were really organised. Although the seats were uncomfortable, it felt more like a takeaway than having the option to sit in.”

  “I bought £50 goat suya on 21/3/205 for a dinner party. The taste & flavour spot on for me, authentic & like what l get back home…. BUT meat disappointedly included lots of bones & un-chewable bits … nearly suya heaven but not quite as a lot ended up in the bin.”

  “Happened just to walk past this place, got drawn in by the smell and the fire on the grill. Well worth trying, the gentleman serving me was real nice & the portion of beef Suya was great. Well seasoned (option to go spicy or not), nice salad option (onion, tomato & cucumber) - large portion is £15, medium £10. Definitely keen to try more from this place. Small spot and sometimes you’ll need to wait depending on the meat you want”

  “The place is extremely small so when is busy is the space is cramped up. You also have to wait extremely long time to get your order. They serve people they know right in front of you even if you’ve been there long. Owner is rude and clearly does not know how to work under pressure. They take in so many orders at a time but they cannot handle it. When you come in, no one sign posts you to the area for picking up or placing orders so you’re just there like? Until you make them aware that you're there. They are not fully honest with their timing. They need to get one of those machines that clearly displays the current number they’re serving, to prevent people going over others. Also all staff including the owner should undergo customer service training and ways of working under pressure whilst maintaining professionalism. The suya is good.”

  “I'm a Nigerian that made the hour trek here for Suya I saw on Tiktok. Like so many others. The reviews about the wartime are pretty accurate, even though the takeaway appears quiet I had to wait a good 20 minutes- bare in mind people call up and order ahead, which I think people have misunderstood for being pushed infront of. Now, about the suya: Phenomenal. The salad to meat ratio was just right and the pope's spicy enough to leave me with slightly swollen lips but so delicious you can't stop eating haha The meat looked like it was going to be dry and tough but it was actually tender - they cook it to order after all. The service was effiencient and the head cook was friendly - which was unexpected in a Nigerian establishment lol IKY YK. I think they could of made it clearer where you place your order though. Head straight to the cashier to place your order and then you pay after you've been served your food. I'm not an easy restaurant customer but I would definitely make the trip again from North London when the mood strikes. Would recommend calling ahead next time though x”
