Suya Joint Providence

Came here on a whim before a show at PPAC and will definitely return. Our server was helpful and attentive, and made sure to check in on spice level to adjust the order to our tastes. We dined with our kids and they loved being able (and encouraged) to dig in with their hands for the full experience. Especially enjoyed the Jollof rice and plantains.

This was so delicious! It was our first time at an African restaurant and we will be back. We loved the fufu and the ability to try something so new and different.

Incredibly flavorful food and plenty of gluten-free options. Highly recommended!

Yes, yes, yes...I ordered

Casual setting, between diner and sit down. Reservation wasn't needed, but there aren't a ton of seats, so it could fill up on a busy night. Food was flavorful and mostly well cooked. Whole snapper was overcooked, so that was the only disappointment.

Incredible experience! Staff is absolutely wonderful and patient explaining the menu. I got the African Lovers sampler which allowed me to try Egusi and fufu as well as plantains. We also got samosas and my husband tried the Taushe stew (made with peanuts). Everything was so flavorful and had a bit of spice! We ordered mild and our noses were running but it was great :) It was my first time trying Jollof rice and I can't believe I went my whole life without trying it! My meal also came with tres leches cake which was so good and the fresh juices were wonderful. Cannot wait to come back! Thank you so much for the hospitality, Melanie!

My first time in Providence for the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority conference and I had to try Suya Joint! The décor was warm, welcoming, and beautifully reflected the African-inspired theme. The food was flavorful and well-prepared , the beans had a nice little kick of spice, the sweet plantains were perfectly caramelized, and the white rice balanced everything out nicely. The stew was rich and delicious, and the presentation (complete with the little Nigerian flag!) was a thoughtful touch.

A great spot for anyone craving authentic African flavors with a cozy, inviting vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

I ordered the cassava leaf with rice and I also ordered the palm butter with fufu! If You have had authentic African food you will say this food is OK. It’s not bad but definitely missing something! There are a lot of five star reviews, but I think that’s a lot to do with the people that work there because the food is just OK. The food was very bland, and the cassava leaf was a bit rancid !

I had one of the finest dining experience at Suya. If you are a lover if African cuisine especially Nigerian cuisine, I urge you to give yourself and loved ones à treat at thus place.
Do you like it plan, mild, hot or very hot, they will serve you like it's done back from the roots.
I had Egussi soup with goat meat and Gary ..
I highly recommend Suya.

So delicious!! I just went here for the first time to get the Vegetarian Egusi stew which is served with pounded yam and the option of chicken and OMGG! The flavors were so good!! I was genuinely in heaven eating the food. I ordered online so I didn’t get much interaction but when I went inside I was greeted so kindly and warm. 10/10 recommend Suya Joint for delicious Nigerian food
