Finding the best Suya in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Suya I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled locust beans dawadawa with genuine knowledge and the deeply umami from fermented ingredients result was noticeably superior.

Nigerian cuisine varies between the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic culinary traditions. The winning restaurant had the right a Lagos buka local restaurant feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. zobo hibiscus drink was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Suya is made properly it's a completely different experience.
