We went with a big group and loved it! The waitress was super nice and knowledgeable. When she says it's Nigerian spicy....I should have believed her! This was painfully spicy and I LOVED IT. The spice comes from scotch bonnet peppers and has a fruity hint due to that. Absolutely DIVINE. The rice is smoky and cooked perfectly. The plantains are sweet and smoky. Our friend got the fish and loved it. We had friends who got their other suya dishes and liked them as well. My husband and I split our goat suya dish and still had leftovers! They are in a complex with a big parking lot. The other half of the restaurant is a lounge only open at night.
My friend and I were super excited to try a sit down Nigerian restaurant. While the food was great, the service was non-existent. We literally had to BEG for our food. However, I want to share that the food is excellent. My Suya shrimp was well seasoned, and the plantain was perfect. Although I wish my Jollof was spicier, it was tasty. I also wish my Zobo had more of a ginger flavor, but it was still refreshing. The spot wasn't too loud, and the art/decor was gorgeous! Parking is available in the front and back of the building. Would I go back to sit down and eat? No. This spot is definitely a grab and go/pick up situation, unless you have time to be ignored by staff.
This was my second time here. From the last time I was here 1-2 years ago, they've changed the interior. They have a lounge but the two times I've been in there I haven't seen anyone in there. I personally ate the designer stew and it had just the right spice. The portion is very plentiful. The efo was pretty good as well. My fiancé had the jollof and didn't think it had much flavor this time compared to the last time we went. The place could be a little be cleaner , but the staff was pretty nice
We were greeted the moment we walked in by some beautiful young ladies. The place is beautiful. The food came out in a timely manner. There was an appetizer given which was fried banana chips with a dip which was delicious. Now this is my first time trying African food we also ordered some wings which was tasty fresh and delicious. Now for the main course is the fufu with the fish and shrimp soup. I was educated on how to eat. Lol. My financee had this meal. I ordered beef with vegetables I didn't care for it the meat was a little tough for me so she replaced with a fish soup which was very good and tasty. Two meals cost over $60. Do I recommend Yes I do..... thanks
Aria Suya restaurant is known for its delicious suya, a popular West African street food made with spicy grilled meat. Customers often praise its flavorful dishes and cozy ambiance. It's a great spot to experience Nigerian cuisine in a welcoming setting. If you get a chance to try it, let me know your thoughts! The staff was very welcoming ; It takes a while to get your food but I guarantee you it's worth the wait ! Try POMO if you like spice , it's peppered cow
Very clean establishment with friendly service. They start you off with complimentary sauce and plantain chips that were so flavorful! Now onto the food- I've always wanted to try pounded yam with stew and this place did not disappoint. They let you do half and half for the stew so I had the seafood okra and egusi with beef. Both stews were full of flavor, and something about the okra texture and the pounded yam mixed really well together! If you've been wanting to try this particular dish, this place is a good place to go! Also really enjoyed the shrimp from the suya meat platter we got!
Had my first try with African food last weekend with my bff, and Aria Suya did not disappoint! The server was very nice, and everyone was helpful and attentive. The restaurant had a good flow of people even when we went during off-peak hours. We ordered the Turkey Grizzard with Plaintain, and that was a big hit! The grizzard was tender and not chewy at all. The assorted meat tray was alright, there were some meats that were really good, like goat, ribs, and beef. The chicken was extremely dry though, like earing cardboard. So I would not recommend the chicken at all! Lastly, we had the tomato soup with cow skin and some other meat, that was good but a bit salty for my taste. Joloff rice was very tasty though! Overall, I would definitely come back. The ambiance was laid back, definitely helped to enjoy the food for the first time!
Giving this place 5 stars because a large group of us swarmed in midweek for lunch and I'm pretty sure they were not quite staffed for the numbers, but our food still came out in overall decent time and everything tasted delicious. In terms of service, our waitress was doing her best, no complaints. The decor is interesting. Clean and modern, a bit more lounge-ish. I really did enjoy the food.
