Bros J Suya West African • $
8310 Annapolis Rd ste c, New Carrollton

“I stopped by Bros J Suya and ordered a $10 plate of suya.
Overall, the food was good and I'll definitely be back.
🍖 The Food
The dry suya seasoning was excellent—very flavorful and probably the best part of the meal. The meat itself was good, and the portion size was fair for the price.
The sauce was decent, but I think it could use more seasoning and definitely more heat. I like my suya with a stronger, spicier kick.
⏱ The Downside
My biggest complaint was the wait time. It took a while for what was essentially a simple $10 plate of suya. What confused me even more was that I ate it immediately after getting into the car, and it was already cold. I was expecting it to be hot and fresh considering the wait.
📝 Final Thoughts
Even with those issues, I enjoyed the food enough to come back. I'm actually planning to order a tray for an upcoming party, and I also want to try their fish and rice dishes.
For comparison, I usually go to Project Suya. I think Project Suya's sauce is a little better, but Bros J Suya is still solid.
If I had to rate them:
Bros J Suya: 8/10
Project Suya: 8.7/10
I still haven't found a perfect 10/10 suya spot in the DMV, but the search continues. If anyone knows a hidden gem, let me know!“

“Really cool store that has a lot of Senegalese items around for sale. The food was perfect it was my first time having west African food and I really liked how Smokey and barbequey the food was. I got the large lamb platter and they really packed on the rice and lamb, it was really delicious and the onions were particularly good. The lamb wasn’t gamey at all and had a great taste and chew. The turn around time on the order was quick as well and very friendly staff.“

“One of the BEST Egusi I've ever had. I was pregnant and Ms. Bangura (owner) was so kind enough to have my special order ready for me on almost a nightly basis. For whatever reason, my craving was egusi and it started with just single orders every other night to ordering pans of egusi with a side of pounded yam.

My husband would do pickups for me and he said it was always easy to place and order. She has a waiting area inside and a small grocery for your quick grabs while you wait.
Parking is nice and the customer service is top tier.

I still visit often and Will be coming back soon!“

“Great Late-Night Find with Excellent Service!
I ordered from Beyond Suya at their kiosk, and I was genuinely impressed. The staff was so nice, patient, and super communicative throughout the entire process. Even though it wasn’t a dine-in experience, they made sure everything went smoothly and made me feel like a valued customer.

The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavor and clearly made with care. What really stood out, aside from the amazing service, is that they’re open late! If you’re looking for something tasty and satisfying to eat late at night, Beyond Suya is a perfect go-to. I’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend!“
