Suya Hut

I was debating on where to go and get Suya and Rice. I had a few places in mind like Paddy's Point, Motherland, Bantu Vibes, and Class Plus Chez Clarisse. All of which I have not tried yet. I decided to come here. I must say that I was not impressed. I got 3 beef Suya Sticks and 1 Gizzard Suya. I was undecided on what rice to get. I asked about their Coconut Rice and the guy said that they were out so I got Jollof Rice. I was really looking forward to the the Jollof Rice because I have not had it in a long time. The Suya sticks were good but not very meaty. The Gizzard stick was very filling and spicy. The Rice was a let down for me. It tasted like rice with tomato sauce no spice or anything. I may try them again in the future or not.

It's a shame that this place is tucked into the corner of this shopping center! The food is great, and the staff is really nice.Both the chicken and beef skewers are amazingly flavorful. You also can't go wrong with either jollof or coconut rice!

My friends ordered and picked up food from Suya Hut so this was my first time having it. They got me the shrimp suya, with jollof rice and plantain. The food was alright, nothing special. Perhaps because it took over an hour to make and then they had to bring to me but it wasn't that great. The jollof could have been much better but I'll give them a try again.

Stopped by to try some Suya for the first time. I love me some good african food . the suya was really good and tasty. I got the chicken combo plate with the rice . I also got the beef suya to try that one as well. I ate my meal with a refreshing vita malt . I highly recommend that drink it is delicious. Not many people like that drink since it has an acquired taste. Im carribean so I love malt i used to hate it as a kid now i love it. it is non alcoholic and to describe the taste it has a flavor profile of syrup with hints of grain like a sweet beer. I highly recommend to drink it super super cold. otherwise it taste weird when its not cold. The only thing that was kind of so so was the rice. its not as good as other jollof rice places. it had too much of that smoky taste and the rice was lot its like a pound of rice. i think the combo is good but id prefer the protein over rice. Good overall spot and super super clean this is rare in african restaurants.

[Catering]: I ordered 50 chicken suya days in advance for an event. Called to confirm the day of before picking up, and the receptionist couldn't get my order right:* he claimed the person who took my order wrote down the wrong pickup time* I then called again an hour before the rescheduled pick-up time and they were preparing beef suya instead of chickenAs you might imagine, this order was late, affected my preparation, and they still demanded full price.

Drove in from Austin after seeing this tasty food on Marcus Samuelson's show " No passport required". I've never had Jollof rice or Suya before this. It was so delicious! next time I'm ordering double

Suya Hut is ok. the best in Houston when it comes to an actual business storefront. However, I have had better in Houston from cats that will set up shop outside of a club. Otherwise, they're just ok.

A friend recommended that this establishment has the best suya. I was highly disappointed. You can tell from the pic that it wasn't cooked fresh. I arrived two hours from closing so it's not like I came right before closing. The jollof was decent, had a good smoke flavor. I don't think I would give this place another try.

I'm so angry it took 30 years of life for me to discover the world of suya, a popular street food hailing from northern Nigeria in the form of thin meat skewers marinated in copious spices and barbecued. I spent a great deal of time researching all the best Nigerian restaurants in the Houston metroplex and ultimately settled on Suya Hut. Was it worth the 25 minute drive to Katy? Without a doubt. The venue is humble and small, with a shiny tile floor, bright orange walls, and a hand-written chalkboard menu. The man behind the counter was jovial and friendly, jokingly quizzing us about the country flags adorning the wall. We did take-out and ate our fill back at home. Be forewarned that they don't shy away from spice. In fact, my rose was running by the end, and I have a fairly high tolerance. Suya - we ordered a ton, both chicken and beef, and basically finished all of it. The meat was nicely charred, juicy, and packed a healthy dose of fruity heat. The chicken especially was awesome. I would go back for just this. Jollof Rice - some of the best I've had, with a really smoky quality and a nice pungent and sweet flavor. Catfish Pepper Soup - a deliciously zesty preparation with moist, flaky fish. The spice reminded me of Cajun cooking, with a kind of dry burning that creeps into the back of your throat. Egusi - a classic soup of blended greens and melon seeds that was vegetal and light; a nice change of pace from the other intense and oily items. It tasted savory, refreshing, and satisfying.Even the accompanying plantains were yummy and sweet. For our accompanying starch, we chose pounded yam. My Nigerian buddy informed me that these staples (fufu, amala, etc.) are dubbed "swallow" because you're supposed to dip it in stuff and do just that - no chewing! But I confess that I cheated because I kind of like the gummy texture. As you can probably tell, I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and would recommend it to anyone looking to try Nigerian cuisine.

This place is at least a 30 minutes drive from my home, but I was in search of some really good egusi soup and couldn't find any place closer. Plus Suya Hut was featured on PBS "No Passport Required" and my curiosity was piqued ever since watching the episode. The restaurant is very simple in decor and located in a shopping center tucked away in a corner. The young man at the counter greeted me with a warm smile and provided excellent customer service. The wait was long but the food was absolutely delicious! I had pounded yam with the egusi soup, beef suya, chicken suya, and ordered designer stew with steamed rice for my husband. Both dishes were hot and seemed to be freshly prepared which is highly appreciated!! The suya sticks were all delicious as well! The portion size and price were average in comparison to other Nigerian food restaurants in the area. I'll definitely return, but will order ahead if possible or even dine in.
