“Finally checked out Suya Suya a few weeks back with Anna S. Anna ordered the Egusi over Fufu while the three of us ordered Suya Bowls. The three of us happened to have ordered different rice for our bases, allowing us to have a taste of all the different rice options offered by the restaurant. The Suya Bowls were a substantial amount of food, mainly because the plate came with large portions of rice. Don't get me wrong, the rice was delicious, in fact, you can't go wrong with any of the 3 rice options, but seeing that the restaurant is called Suya Suya, I thought they would highlite the Suya more than the rice. From pictures, the Suya Bowl came with sliced onions with white sauce, which doesn't particularly do it for me as a vegetable side, so I selected the brussels sprouts for my Suya, and only got 5-6 brussels sprouts. Doesn't feel like a lot of brussel sprouts next to the mountain of rice. You definitely get more Suya if you go with the meats. The Suya Bowl also comes with your choice of plantains or cornbread. The entire bowl just feels very carb heavy and unbalanced. Anna's Egusi over Fufu was tasty but was too spicy for our group. Overall, Suya Suya offers tasty food at reasonable prices, but I would definitely recommend ordering an extra side of Suya with your Suya Bowl.“

“Listen.... I LOVE African food. Doesn't matter the country. But I especially love pepper soup. I've had it just about from EVERYWHERE in Philly and sometimes I make it at home (from YouTube recipes). This lady (the owner) at Eatwell ABSOLUTELY makes the BEST pepper soup I've ever tasted by FAR! The flavors are just ???(immaculate). She always tells me that she gets her spices and ingredients from Africa and it definitely shows ?The portion size is super good too. I've also had the Ayamase and Rice amd the beans and rice with goat and let me tell you both of those dishes were super awesome too. I HIGHLY recommend this place and I'll keep coming back as long as the recipes stay the same ?“

“This African Restaurant did not disappoint! My friends rant and raved about this place and so I came, I saw, and devoured the savory Yassa Chicken which was so delicious, with the red/jollof rice to complement! The spicy, hearty dish is made of tender boneless chicken with tasty onions and peppers. I will be back to try the tilapia fish which I tasted from my friend's plate and will be my next dish. The 2 ladies at the restaurant were so pleasant and welcoming and the atmosphere was cozy. If I could give a recommendation, is to have some ginger juice with the option to add sugar. I would have probably purchased 2 drinks! I plan to come back!! ?“

The blueberry lastini was wonderful. My date had the rasta pasta with shrimp and oxtails. I don't eat red meat but I had a taste of his pasta and it was better than the Rasta Pasta I had in Jamaica. He told me his cheesesteak rolls were delicious.“

“My absolute favorite "Go to place" for some Dibi and Plantain. Delicious and mouth watering onion sauce, Lamb is grilled to perfection, with the tantalizing sweetness of the plantain that just melts away in your mouth. I am a reliable customer and approve of them being one of the best African restaurants I know who never disappoints, especially when it comes down to consistency and good taste.Their unique touch on this particular dish is a 10 out of 10.Their speciality and best seller is the Dibi and Plantain I can assure you of that.I recommend and support this business 100%“
