Service: Angel was great. She was very patient with our 3 million questions. Food Plantain chips and stew: 10/10 highly recommended Oxtail Suya: 6/10 White rice and stew: 9/10 Jollof rice: 7.5/10 Drink: Chapman: 5/10 Ambiance: Causal
I crave this restaurant every two weeks. I usually get the egusi stew and efo stew with fufu. The okra stew is also very good. I also tried their Suya wings, those were okay, beware the sauce is very spicy if you have a low spice tolerance! The restaurant design is very modern and clean. The dining space is a little small but it's not much of a problem!
Food was amazing. The staff is patient and knowledgeable about the food items. The atmosphere is great. Nice music playing in the background! GREAT EXPERIENCE!
I had some credit on a food ordering site and decided to try out a new restaurant with it. I am really glad I took a chance on Aria Suya! I placed a to-go order and it was ready for pick up in 15ish minutes. I ordered the ox-tail Suya, which is a Nigerian grilled meat rubbed with suya spice. A quick Google search reveals "suya spice (yaji) - a dry spice mix containing ground peanut snacks known as kuli kuli, with other spices such as cayenne pepper, ginger, paprika, and onion powder." I love ox-tail for how tender the meat is, and this dish was no exception. There was a decent portion of ox-tail, and the meat fell off the bone. Little bits of cartilage were a tasty treat too. The spices was balanced between spiciness and flavor although a bit salty. You have an option between Jollof rice and plantains, and I went with the rice. It had a nice tomato-y flavor but some of the rice was dried and stuck together, indicating it may not have been the freshest. There were pieces of raw red onions, 2 slices of cucumber, and 1 slice of tomato. I think the dish would be better served either with no veggies or an intentional serving of veg. I would have loved to see more greens in this dish as it was a bit heavy on its own. Inside, the restaurant appears brand new with great lighting and comfy seats. Looking forward to trying more Nigerian food here. So glad Pearland is getting its share of diverse restaurants!
My sister and I have been wanting to try Nigerian food for the longest time, but there are not many locations near us that serve it. We were excited to see that a restaurant in Pearland had it. We went around 3 in the afternoon, and the restaurant wasn't crowded at all, which was understandable because 3 pm is not a common time to eat. The place is decorated lovely with unique furniture that sets it apart from other restaurants. Instead of dining in, most people seemed to do takeout orders. Because the place wasn't busy at all, the staff were readily available to help us and were super friendly, recommending us dishes to try based on our spice tolerances and protein preferences. They first brought out a complementary plate of plantain chips with a dipping sauce. Although I have no idea what the sauce was, it was one of the best tasting things I have ever tried, making this an excellent start to my dining experience. For an appetizer, we ordered the Suya Wings with the Jamaican jerk sauce. These wings were so good that I would categorize them as the top five best chicken wings I've ever had. They were made fresh to order and were packed with flavor because of the complex seasonings and delicious jerk sauce. They were also super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My sister and I also ordered the Pounded Yam with Beef Egusi. The egusi was super flavorful, and I loved the texture of the pounded yam. However, I wish they served more beef in the egusi. In addition, we ordered the Oxtail Suya, which came with a side of Jollof Rice. Even though the flavor and seasoning of the oxtail was spot on, the different pieces were inconsistent, with some being tender and others being hard and tough. I also found the Jollof Rice unfortunately unpleasant with its taste, being reminiscent to the smell of fire and gasoline. Overall, I loved my dining experience here, and I would come back to try more dishes and order the plates that I thoroughly enjoyed the first time. I think this place deserves more hype, especially considering how unique it is to the area.
My husband and I decided to try this place out for lunch. Parking was easy and plenty. When we walked in it wasn't crowded at all and we sat where we wanted. The server was nice and helpful since this was our first time dining here. I just think she needs more confidence in speaking up and talking face to face. The ambience was nice and the seating was comfortable. The food was so delicious and flavorful!! It was definitely seasoned to perfection!! I had the shrimp plate with sweet plantains and was definitely satisfied. My hubby got the meat platter and he definitely enjoyed that with plenty to take home. We definitely will be back to try some other items on the menu. Tip- if you are coming for dinner I don't think they have a liquor license yet because I didn't see any wine or anything listed on the drink menu. Just soft drinks listed. Thanks!
The food is indeed very tasty, and the marinade is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. Service was amazing as well.
We decided to try Nigerian food for the first time. We ordered the beef oxtails, sampler, egusi with pounded yam, and side of plantains. The oxtail and sampler were a bit dry. We liked the plantains with the tomato base sauce. We think that egusi is an acquired taste. We also tried the Chapman, which was an okay drink. They didn't have the zobo. The decor is classy with black, white and gold themes. Our waitress was helpful with our questions and truthful about what she thinks.
Food: The food is seasoned and cooked to perfection! It's so yummy! If you're a meat lover I recommend the Sampler Suya! Service: Exceptional! The staff are always kind and helpful. Ambiance: It's such a nice place. It's a hidden jewel in Pearland. Always nice and clean! The decor is also nice. It's great for a date, girls night, solo, large group or take out. I'm so glad I found Aria Suya Kitchen!
I went here to this location for the first time and had been to the original Houston location several times in the past. I always got the awesome Lamb Chops Plate, but wanted to try a poultry plate this time. Well, I tried something new here on my first visit at this new location. I ordered the Jollof Rice Plate with Chicken. Every aspect including the chicken leg, thigh, kale with shrimp, plantains and jollof rice were all very delicious, very well-seasoned and very moist in feel. The chicken was both baked and grilled in their own prep with a great, spicy and tomato aroma to it. The exterior was obvious in baking style with a good firmness and soft interior, while having a bit of grill taste too. I especially liked the thigh for its extra savoriness from the spices and extra juiciness. The kale was not as earthy and sour as it could be due to how they make it. The shrimp in it were not too fishy either like shrimp sometimes can be. The rice was smoky, savory, spicy and oily like a fried rice, but thicker in each grain as well. It's an addictive rice in this cuisine that you could even eat all by itself. The plantains were grilled nicely and had that pleasant dessert sweetness at the same time complimenting the rest of the meal. I love plantains in general and also really liked the plantain chips n red sauce before the food came. The cool tomato slice was another good addition with this hot meal. Great, efficient and very welcoming service from my server. I didn't get the Zobo Punch this time to both save calories and money, but it's very refreshing with a tart hibiscus flavor if u want a great tropical drink here, js.
Went to the newest location in Pearland. The staff was very friendly and helpful in assisting me to choose a meal that I would like. The restaurant has very nice decor and is inviting. The food was excellent! I have no complaints and will return.
Loved the complimentary plantain chips with seasoned dip. Beef suya is better than chicken or shrimp, though the shrimp is really good. Chicken is a little tough. Seasoning all around great. Plantains were perfectly cooked and caramelized. Sunday afternoon had one kind employee doing front, orders, and cleaning, so be patient for good food!
Dining area is very modern and trendy. A friend from Sierra Leone and I went for the first time. You get plantain chips and some spicy sauce to dip it in while waiting to order.....it was very good. I ended up ordering the chicken Suya which comes with jollof rice, while my friend had the seafood spinach/okra and pounded yam. Taste wise everything was pleasant, though my chicken was a tad dry. Everything was flavorful otherwise. I also ordered a zobo to wash it all down. While I drank it, I'd probably never order it again- it's tart and for me a bit of an acquired taste. Overall, I'm glad Pearland is getting more diverse with their restaurant choices. I'll be back to try the egusi next.

Fantastic experience all around!! This was maybe my second time having Nigerian food (my first being jollof rice), so take with a grain of salt. Food: They gave complimentary plantain chips with tomato based dip. Water was chilled ozarka bottles, also complimentary. We got the beef suya with jollof rice as side ($20). Portions were huge, plenty for two people! The beef suya was flavorful but was pretty salty when combined with the well seasoned jollof rice. Service: Food took awhile to prepare, maybe 20 minutes, but understandable. Otherwise, very attentive. Ambiance: Really nice and upscale. Everything was also very clean. Overall, highly recommend if looking for Nigerian food in the area! Weren't that many patrons but we came around 2 pm. Lots of takeout orders. read more

This was a really nice place and a great spot to hang with friends and family. They had great music playing the background. The music was loud enough to hear but not too loud to where you cannot converse. The service was great as well. Our person was attentive without hovering. It would be a 5 for me if I didn't have to throw some extra pizzazz on my food. Sampler Suya: 8/10... The shrimp tasted the beach followed by chicken, and then the beef. The rice was good as well if you like the Smokey flavor. I would have given this dish a 10 if it had a bit more salt and the beef was seasoned a tad bit better. I also had to put some salt into my rice as well. Overall though, I would order again. read more

The ambiance is inviting,the space is gorgeous, the service is exceptional, and the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. 100000/10! The food is flavorful, balanced, and leaves you wanting more! I cannot wait to go back and try the entire menu. Wow!! The wings were delicious- so much flavor and warmth. If you like spicy, you'll love these! They aren't burn-your-mouth hot, but they do they you feeling warm, which I absolutely love! The Jollof rice is also spectacular! The plantains balance the meal out with some sweetness- perfection! Do yourself a favor and try Aria, you will not be disappointed! read more
