“ Wowww the food here was so good. My first time trying Nigerian food, I ordered takeout. The service was not that friendly (even just for pick up) but the food definitely made up for it. ”
“ Amazing!! We got the egusi, jollof rice and fufu. Wonderful flavors. Homey lunch and the water was so good! ”
“ African Dinner, Joint Sampler, and Star beer were all excellent, and surprisingly affordable for how much food you get ”
“ Absolutely amazing meal at Suya Joint. Super accessible in Boston. We arrived with city bikes and docked them at the bus station which was less than a 5m walk. The hostess was kind and sat us immediately. The restaurant was quiet with some afrobeat/rnb playing in the back. Good place for a date or meet up to have conversations. Our waitress was SO friendly and gave us amazing recommendations for drinks, apps and entrees. We went with the sampler and the chicken wings and stew was AMAZING. Saucy and crispy. I got the coconut mangotini and it was excellent - mango puree and not the super sweet syrup made it taste excellent. We shared the taushe with farina and he was soooo good. Strong peanut flavor, perfect texture and we were both super full at the end. Gratuity is included (20%) in the bill and the total each after gratuity was about $45. Looking forward to returning. ”
“ The portions here are huge! My dish was extremely flavorful and well spiced, but not spicy. Sadly they seemed to be understaffed today, but the food was worth the trip. I question why the cutlery had to be wrapped in plastic as it seemed wasteful. ”
“ First time ordering. The food was very good. Flavorful. Egusi Soup/stew delectable, Moi-Moi excellent. Spicy chicken - I wanted a little more heat, personally. Vegetable samosas tasty, and plaintains--what's not to like! The only downside was one item missing, which Grubhub took care of, and the packaging leaked. Soooo other than that, I was well satisfied. I will order again in the future...as well as take pictures of dishes. ”
“ Great date night spot, my boyfriend and I came here last Sunday for an late lunch/early dinner and by the time we left the place was filling up and filling takeout orders. Once seated, someone came by and brought us water and asked if we had any questions about the menu. I was torn between a couple options, but with some guidance, I ended up ordering their Egusi with a pounded yam fufu. We started with some appetizers, the plantains were delicious, but wow, the vegetable samosas were incredible! Those were gone fast. Our food came out shortly after, and I was extremely satisfied with my Egusi. It was very flavorful, and I enjoyed dipping the fufu in it. Portions were generous so I was able to take some home and enjoy it the next day. We'll definitely be back here soon! ”
“ My favorite Nigerian restaurant! I've eaten here 3 times and always get the fufu and egusi, especially when paired with fried fish. I'm Filipina, and so eating with my hands and the egusi fried fish dish were familiar to me! I also tried the cassava which was good, but I prefer fufu since it has more of a neutral flavor, allowing the stew to shine. If you like meat, then I'd also recommend the designer stew! Moi moi was delicious (I like beans), and plantains were caramelized well! ”
“ Overall my experience was really good. My boyfriend took me to try fufu for the first time and I fell in love. Our server was very friendly and combinative. The restaurant was very authentically designed, and had artwork and pieces of African culture to look at. We ordered the Joint sampler but unfortunately only the stew and spicy suya wings came out which were super yummy and we were told moi-moi was unavailable. Not sure why we never received the beef samosas but in replacement of the moi-moi we got sweet fried plantains which were so flavorful. When out entree came out, I realized how happy I was to have tried fufu at this location. It was so tasty and even better than what I expected. We got a cocktail as well, although i could not find the name of it. It was decent but not great. We also got a coke in a plastic bottle which happened to be flat, so that was kind of disappointing. Overall i recommend this restaurant for a great African Cuisine. ”
