Very sad what is taking place here! I ordered the most tasteless stew I’ve ever had. Zero seasoning and no spice. Just a waste of Goat Meat. The plantains were not thoroughly cooked! The takeout containers were leaking everywhere. They didn’t have capacity to hold the food contents. Oil needed up everywhere in my car. Gross negligence within this business!

I had the worse suya at this restaurant. It tasted like regular meat and nothing close to suya. Their Jollof rice and zobo was ok but I don't think I will ever order there again. In addition, the lady that attended to who was in low cut seemed in a hurry when she was taking my order and didn't even let me finish asking my question before jumping in

Food was delightful staff was friendly, though definitley understaffed. Had the beef samosas, jollaf with goat and banga with goat. They did the best they could, kitchen staff stepped up to serve too. I'd definitely go back. If you have somewhere to be at a certain time, give yourself at least an extra half hour. Blessings

This is a take out review. I ordered the African Dinner today and I must say it was very disappointing. Sorry folks, I know there's a lot of good reviews for Suya Joint out there but the food tasted very disappointing. I have Nigerian in-laws and have been eating their Egusi for 20 years. The Suya's did not compare to their cooking and they had the same basic ingredients. Now it could be that I ordered the mild, non-spicy version, which can make a big difference in taste but overall, however, the chicken that was in the Egusi amounted to the drum part of a wing. Not the best tasting, kinda bland. When I opened the bag, the meal was comprised of mostly jollof rice. The rice was pretty bland as well. It didn't reek of quality and was a bit dry. When the Suya Joint first opened in Roxbury I thought that the food was pretty good. I'm not sure what has happened along the way. When my family ate this take out order, I felt that the quality is decreasing and prices are increasing. Not sure I'll order from them again.

Overall my experience was really good. My, now ex, 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 regardless, 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. Finally when out entree's 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 though, food-wise, highly recommend this restaurant for some great African Cuisine.

When you go out to eat aren’t you looking to escape from the same old same old? Suya Joint takes you by the hand and takes you someplace both unique and deeply familiar. We all need to feel the warmth and kindness from strangers that is all too rare these days. The vibe is lively, playful and exciting while also being nurturing and real. The music, staff, food and drinks are all fabulous.
Found out I have Nigerian ancestry, and immediately ran here to try some of my cultures food. Was not disappointed. I looooooooveeee the whiting fish! Beyond amazing, great meal

i got the fufu and egusi which was actually really delicious. the only reason im giving 4 instead of 5 is cause you can’t get a hold of the workers. I wanted to make a change which is kind of disappointing but overall great food!!
