    Pineapple fried rice, served in a real pineapple!!
    Kristin A.

    This restaurant serves the best Thai food in northeastern Connecticut! Everything I have eaten here has been so delicious and fresh. It's also the only Thai restaurant in the area that does Thai hot pot. They have a selection of traditional African dishes too. I may try those next time. Currently they do not serve alcohol but it's on the menu, so at some point I think they will get a liquor license. They haven't been open that long and I think they're still trying to figure out the service aspect of things but I am willing to overlook that because everyone who works here is very nice and the food is so good!

    Great food, service is great, I have't had anything there yet I didn't like. Fancy presentation of food. Wish it was a little more cozy inside. Slightly pricey but worth it.

    The food was well flavored and cooked correctly. Fun menu to try some things that are not common in the quiet corner.

    I struggle to say they're crab rangoons, but what they definitely are are pouches of flavor.

    Wow! I've been wanting to try African cuisine for soooo long and finally made my way here for lunch…read moreyesterday and I am blown away! We ordered the joint sampler with beef samosas, and dry rubbed wings, however they ran out of beef samosas which was disappointing cause it was only 30 minutes after opening. but i will say i was pleasantly surprised at how good the vegetable ones were! it didn't even make me miss the beef! we got the dry rubbed wings at a spicy level which was just the right amount of spice for us. you can never go wrong with plantains, they will forever be one of my favorites. for our entrees, my husband got the jollof rice with mixed meat and i got the egusi with orishirishi and fufu. my goodness!! what flavors! i loved the entire experience of eating with my hands and being asian, we are used to getting our hands dirty for a meal! the waitress was very nice and friendly and gave great recommendations of what to get! we will definitely return!!

    Beautifully decorated and unique, Suya Joint is a must visit destination in downtown Providence…read more I've had the pleasure of dining here a few times now and each time I'm even more impressed than the last. We wanted a good dinner tonight so we stopped by Suya Joint around 5:30 and had no trouble finding a table. I'd also like to give a shoutout to our waitress who was incredibly friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She's one of the main reasons why we keep coming back. She even came over when our food was put down to make sure we knew exactly what we were eating and had to do it. I've worked with people of Ghanian and Nigerian descent so I do know what good African food tastes like, and this place is one of the best. Tonight I ordered the taushe with fufu and was very happy with it! The fufu tastes great, a little sticky but I enjoy the texture and think it works great for dipping. The taushe had great flavor, was very filling, and was seasoned expertly. My only minor critique is that some of the pieces of my beef were large which made it a challenge to eat inside the stew. But it's a dish that I definitely recommend to anyone. My mango juice was also very tasty and I enjoyed the whole experience once again. Prices are on the higher side but I never mind paying for quality food.

It feels like you are visiting someone's home and you are immediately comfortable. Joe was very attentive and kind. The music was fantastic. We started off with the warm, buttery cornbread and plantains with a spicy herring sauce. The food was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The jollof rice was delicious. The cocktails were refreshing and tasty. Jo and Ro's mom was so kind and sweet, and she cooks all of the meals. I highly recommend JoRo. This was our first time trying a lot of the dishes and the ladies and I loved it.

I loved the family feel! Joel mixed up delicious drinks for us. We had espressRo martinis, pain killers, old fashions, and wine. Everyone loved their cocktails. For food, we tried most of the snacks/shareables: Cornbread - dense and delicious Meat skewers with pepper sauce - quite the kick, but definitely a favorite Lasagna bites - savory and flavorful Mac and cheese bites - excellent comfort food Fried chicken - the meat falls right off the bone Fried plantains - sweet with an optional kick Everything was served hot out of the oven and we got to enjoy our food while appreciating gentle music from a vocalists and keyboardist. Her voice was amazing and not too overbearing for dinnertime conversations. Joel was an excellent host, server, mixologist - you name it. He made you feel at home and everything was served to perfection. We will be back!
