    Suya Palace - Goat Platter (Large)

    I called ahead to order the egusi stew with pounded yam and the goat platter for take away. When I…read morearrived a half hour later (when they said it would be ready), my food still wasn't ready. I had to wait another 20 minutes. I would say that the service is quite slow, though polite. I've never had egusi and I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the pounded yam with the stew. However. The meats they put in the egusi were really dry and over cooked. There were a few chunks of beef which was sooo dry and hard, and also a piece of tripe. The tripe looked a bit questionable, and I didn't really feel comfortable trying it because it looked a little raw in the middle? We weren't sure but the middle texture looked off. For the goat platter, I didn't really enjoy that as much. The goat was also dry and definitely overcooked. The jollof rice tasted like smoke. I like a smokey flavour sometimes but it seems like they added artificial smoke flavour or something. It was very overpowering and it was the only flavour of the rice. It wasn't really spicy or anything. Also, I ordered a large platter but the portion wasn't that large. It was an ok amount I guess. I will definitely try more egusi stew in the future but I'm not sure that I'll be back here. For the price, I found the food a little bit underwhelming.

    I got takeout at Suya Palace and it was great. This is one of the few Nigerian restaurants in…read moreOttawa. I got the large Chicken Suya Platter ($17.99) to share with my husband. The platter came with 3 pieces of chicken (a drumstick, a thigh, and a wing with a bit of breast meat attached), jollof rice, plantains, some lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and onions, a tiny container of coleslaw, and some extra spices to sprinkle on your meal if you want it spicier/hotter. The spice level was good. It had a definite kick to it. It wasn't super hot (but could be made so with the extra spices), but if you don't like spicy food, I probably wouldn't recommend this dish, lol. My husband and I loved the flavour and hotness of the chicken and the jollof rice. Flavour party in our mouths, lol. I found the rice a bit on the oily side, but it was still really good. The plantains were soft and sweet. The lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and onions were fresh and crisp. The coleslaw was mayo based and unremarkable, but ok. The combo platter came with a drink and I chose a can of Sprite. I ordered at the restaurant and service was efficient. I waited less than 15 minutes for my food. The dining room is pretty and quite large. They have their menu printed on large signs in front of the bar. They had no takeout menus so I just used the signs in front of the bar. If you dine-in they have regular menus. The restaurant is on the ground floor of a four-storey building. There's a parking behind the building (the entrance is off Bayswater). Street parking is also available.

    TLDR: New, bright and clean Nigerian restaurant with delicious food. A bit too oily for my…read morepreference, but still very tasty. I was in the area for work and stopped by to grab some takeout for my husband and I. I got the Ajebutter Beef Combo ($19.99) and the Ajebutter Chicken Combo ($19.99). Both combos came with coleslaw, rice and plantains. I chose Jollof rice. The beef combo had 2 large tender cubes of beef. The chicken combo had 3 drumsticks. My husband and I shared the combos. The beef was lean and tender. I really enjoyed it. I liked the fried chicken too. Both meats were full of flavour. They were sitting in a puddle of oil though. The Jollof rice was spicy and delicious, but a bit too oily for my liking. The plantains were soft and sweet. The coleslaw was tangy and vinegary. I liked that it wasn't cream based. I usually don't like coleslaw, but I liked this one. Service was pleasant and fairly quick. The restaurant has lots of seating. It's brightly lit and clean. Looks to be newly built/ renovated. They have a couch and Scrabble tile-like decorations on the wall. The interior is funky and cool-looking. Glad to have discovered this Nigerian restaurant. I'm not in this part of town much anymore, but would gladly return in the future. Looking forward to trying their other items. There is free parking in front of the restaurant in a small shared parking lot with neighbouring businesses. (63)

    Does anyone miss the now defunct Fumi's African Caribbean Restaurant (was on Rochester St) and…read moreMugena Caribbean Cuisine (was on Richmond Rd)? If so, I learned that the owner of those 2 places is the owner of the newly opened OB&O Afro-Caribbean Restaurant! I missed out on eating at Fumi's and Mugena's, so was glad to be able to try OB&O. The food is delicious!! My husband and I shared the Jerk Chicken Platter ($16.99) and the Beef Roti and Salad (which was actually coleslaw) ($11.99). The Jerk Chicken Platter came with a chicken leg (drumstick with thigh attached), 4 pieces of plantains, and lots of rice and beans. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and so flavourful. It had a good amount of heat to it. So I wouldn't recommend it if you can't handle spice. It's not overly spicy, but definitely has some kick. I loved the chicken. The plantains were sweet and soft without being mushy. They were great. The rice was plentiful and spotted with red kidney beans. It also had a spicy kick to it. My only complaint is that it was a bit too oily for my tastes. However, it was still incredibly enjoyable. The Beef Roti was also delicious. The beef cubes, although not all that plentiful, were tender and lean. The potatoes and chickpeas were a good consistency, not too hard but not too mushy. Overall, very tasty, and not spicy at all. I was not a fan of the coleslaw, but I don't like coleslaw in general. It was a mayo-based coleslaw with cabbage, carrots and cucumbers. The latter is an ingredient I don't usually see in coleslaw, so props to them for that. It wasn't bad, I just don't like coleslaw. Overall, we both really enjoyed the food. I'm looking for to trying the African food there. We got takeout and the takeout boxes were styrofoam. I would have preferred cardboard boxes. I waited maybe 15-20 minutes for my food. They have some Jamaican patties in the warmer if you're looking for a quick grab and go snack. They are $2.99 each. The inside of the restaurant is very casual. The tables have plastic over them. OB&O is in the space that was formerly Mont Tacos. Street parking or parking in the strip mall lot, which is small.

    I tried the Curried Chicken, Curried Goat and the Jerk Chicken. All were very good. The two…read morecurries were tasty but not spicy, the Jerk had some nice heat to it. The place is very clean and is setup in a fast food format. No table service and no liquor license. Grab your food at the counter and sit down. Or take out.
