Suya exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Suya made with real commitment to uziza leaves and technique. The rich and earthy from palm oil result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. The a Lagos buka local restaurant was exactly right for this kind of eating. palm wine was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
