The food is great. It's a quiet place, so it's perfect for people to eat and chat. One thing to keep in mind, since the inflation, the price of food went up, and so did the food in the menu, so you have to check with the restaurant on the food prices before ordering. read more

A friend recommended that this establishment has the best suya. I was highly disappointed. You can tell from the pic that it wasn't cooked fresh. I arrived two hours from closing so it's not like I came right before closing. The jollof was decent, had a good smoke flavor. I don't think I would give this place another try. read more

Really good food and service. Great Jolof rice And the beef and chicken were seasoned and cooked to perfection..

I'm so angry it took 30 years of life for me to discover the world of suya, a popular street food hailing from northern Nigeria in the form of thin meat skewers marinated in copious spices and barbecued. I spent a great deal of time researching all the best Nigerian restaurants in the Houston metroplex and ultimately settled on Suya Hut. Was it worth the 25 minute drive to Katy? Without a doubt. The venue is humble and small, with a shiny tile floor, bright orange walls, and a hand-written chalkboard menu. The man behind the counter was jovial and friendly, jokingly quizzing us about the country flags adorning the wall. We did take-out and ate our fill back at home. Be forewarned that they don't shy away from spice. In fact, my rose was running by the end, and I have a fairly high tolerance. Suya - we ordered a ton, both chicken and beef, and basically finished all of it. The meat was nicely charred, juicy, and packed a healthy dose of fruity heat. The chicken especially was awesome. I would go back for just this. Jollof Rice - some of the best I've had, with a really smoky quality and a nice pungent and sweet flavor. Catfish Pepper Soup - a deliciously zesty preparation with moist, flaky fish. The spice reminded me of Cajun cooking, with a kind of dry burning that creeps into the back of your throat. Egusi - a classic soup of blended greens and melon seeds that was vegetal and light; a nice change of pace from the other intense and oily items. It tasted savory, refreshing, and satisfying. Even the accompanying plantains were yummy and sweet. For our accompanying starch, we chose pounded yam. My Nigerian buddy informed me that these staples (fufu, amala, etc.) are dubbed "swallow" because you're supposed to dip it in stuff and do just that - no chewing! But I confess that I cheated because I kind of like the gummy texture. As you can probably tell, I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and would recommend it to anyone looking to try Nigerian cuisine. read more

It's a shame that this place is tucked into the corner of this shopping center! The food is great, and the staff is really nice. Both the chicken and beef skewers are amazingly flavorful. You also can't go wrong with either jollof or coconut rice! read more

Suya Hut - Chicken suya skewer with coconut rice and plantains - African Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was debating on where to go and get Suya and Rice. I had a few places in mind like Paddy's Point, Motherland, Bantu Vibes, and Class Plus Chez Clarisse. All of which I have not tried yet. I decided to come here. I must say that I was not impressed. I got 3 beef Suya Sticks and 1 Gizzard Suya. I was undecided on what rice to get. I asked about their Coconut Rice and the guy said that they were out so I got Jollof Rice. I was really looking forward to the the Jollof Rice because I have not had it in a long time. The Suya sticks were good but not very meaty. The Gizzard stick was very filling and spicy. The Rice was a let down for me. It tasted like rice with tomato sauce no spice or anything. I may try them again in the future or not. read more

My friends ordered and picked up food from Suya Hut so this was my first time having it. They got me the shrimp suya, with jollof rice and plantain. The food was alright, nothing special. Perhaps because it took over an hour to make and then they had to bring to me but it wasn't that great. The jollof could have been much better but I'll give them a try again. read more

I like African food, but I can't eat it spicy due to my acid reflux so they will not make it spicy for me. The food is delicious.

The restaurant was empty when we walked in. There were two people in the kitchen talking and totally ignored us. I asked if the restaurant was open, and one of them finally came up. Surprisingly, there was only one paper menu available for 4 guests. We finally decided to leave after that experience. read more

Drove in from Austin after seeing this tasty food on Marcus Samuelson's show " No passport required". I've never had Jollof rice or Suya before this. It was so delicious! next time I'm ordering double read more

Ok, the good is really good but the bad makes me question if I'll be back, even for the good. It's called Suya Hut so of course the suya is great. My recommendation to them is to focus on that, because I decided to try out the vegetable soup as well, and that was horrendously BAD! The soup was extremely salty, vegetable was over cooked and the stew base was definitely not fresh- it tasted like stew that had been heated many times over. Shocking because I was told everything is prepared as orders are placed, this made me ok with giving a 45 min prep time. Who doesn't like fresh food? Ordered with assorted meat, but there was only 1 piece of meat in the soup, the rest was chopped up into tiny pieces. Lol. I got there 50 minutes after placing my order and still had to sit in my car, calling them multiple times for my food to be brought out, even though they told me that my food was being packaged when I called upon arrival. Instead of giving a proper apology, the guy who brought out my order simply said it was his mistake for not telling me it would take at least an hour. Good suya ONLY, poor service, do not attempt the soup. read more

[Catering]: I ordered 50 chicken suya days in advance for an event. Called to confirm the day of before picking up, and the receptionist couldn't get my order right: * he claimed the person who took my order wrote down the wrong pickup time * I then called again an hour before the rescheduled pick-up time and they were preparing beef suya instead of chicken As you might imagine, this order was late, affected my preparation, and they still demanded full price. read more

It was ok, just ok. I've had better Jollof rice. Would I go back, maybe but it would only be for suya. read more

The food is delicious, probably the best I've ever had, but no joke it's expensive and they have no concept of customer service. I won't return because they had no love for me, but could smile all day at the white couple that ordered. The food also took an extremely long time to come out with absolutely no explanation as to why. read more

We were in the mood for suya and decided to try this spot out. The Suya was mehhhhh (I've had better)... This review is not only for the suya, but mainly for the horrible customer service we have received from this establishment. We ordered some suya to be shipped to our address outside of Houston and when it was delivered to us it was in a mail box (literally) and the suya was not wrapped well and unfortunately was spoiled and or contaminated by the time it all arrived. We have called numerous amount of times to get a full understanding of what may have taken place from the time it was made, sealed and sent to us from the manager and here we are 7/20/2018 still awaiting a call from the manager/owner. This is Not Good Customer service! read more

The food was heavy in spice and flavor but also pretty healthy and the meat lean. Also very affordable. Fast and easy curbside service read more

This was some of the best Suya I have ever tasted before, I purchased beef and chicken. The location is in Southwest Houston. The beef Suya was amazing, tender and juicy. You should call in your order ahead of time. I purchase $50 dollars worth, I wasn't able to call in because no one picked up after a few repeated calls. The restaurant is nice and cleans. read more

Suya Hut - African Near Me - Houston, Texas

Delicious, actually hospitable, and reasonable priced. The rice portions are insane. Call ahead because it takes about 30 minutes for Suya. I tried the chicken and beef suya, both were smacking. The chicken one was actually juicy but the beef had a little more seasoning so it was my favorite. Their plantains aren't the super hard ones I'm used to getting from Nigerian restaurants so I should have definitely ordered an extra side. Everything was perfect. I just wish they had meat pies. *hint hint. read more

Always good! but Always call in your order or you'll be waiting FOREVER! I highly recommend the chicken and beef Suya. I am not the type to usually like chicken Suya, but there's is seasoned well and a great size, especially in comparison to the beef Suya. read more

the food is well seasoned and made fresh to order. best zobo drinks in houston. jollof is smokey and the catfish pepper soup is flavorful! if you like spice, come here! they also have cute hand made keychains they gave us for free. i'd rate higher if i could! they are very kind and play good music too! definitely my new favorite spot read more

I go here all the time. It's my favorite suya place. I'd say sabo suya spot has more of a dry rub. I like the marinade at suya hut better. I usually order the jollof rice, beef suya, and plantains combo. This combo is HUGE. They give a generous amount of jollof rice. Which is good, because I love jollof rice. It comes with 3 beef suya and thick slices of plaintains. I usually order 3 extra beef suya and share with a friend. Also, the customer service here is great. I noticed a lot of patrons are close with the owners of the establishment. I love hole in wall places with a community vibe. This place is family owned with a son usually working the cashier and another son working in the back. I got to meet Haruna and he made me feel very welcomed. Overall, I'd come back. Good vibes, great music, clean and good food. Tip: Taking a bite of beef suya with tomato and onions is a flavor explosion. And that jollof rice too, mmmm. read more

Suya Hut - red stew, beef suya, egusi soup, fufu, jolof Jollof Rice - African Near Me - Houston, Texas

Visiting my Mom today, and we discovered Suya Hut. If you could give more than 5 stars I would. This local, mom and pop 'gem' of a restaurant serves delicious Nigerian food in the Meadows Place. I tried their egusi soup and mom got the Okra soup. Both of our soups were really terrific- yes, we shared. That fufu though......I'm pretty certain I heard angels singing when I took a bite of the egusi and the fufu together. Thanks guys for introducing me to your wonderful food. Next time, we are trying the Suya chicken!! read more

Suya Hut - Spicy chicken suya! - African Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is at least a 30 minutes drive from my home, but I was in search of some really good egusi soup and couldn't find any place closer. Plus Suya Hut was featured on PBS "No Passport Required" and my curiosity was piqued ever since watching the episode. The restaurant is very simple in decor and located in a shopping center tucked away in a corner. The young man at the counter greeted me with a warm smile and provided excellent customer service. The wait was long but the food was absolutely delicious! I had pounded yam with the egusi soup, beef suya, chicken suya, and ordered designer stew with steamed rice for my husband. Both dishes were hot and seemed to be freshly prepared which is highly appreciated!! The suya sticks were all delicious as well! The portion size and price were average in comparison to other Nigerian food restaurants in the area. I'll definitely return, but will order ahead if possible or even dine in. read more

When it comes to getting good Nigerian Food, I always drive out to this spot even though it is a bit of a haul for me. They have a great variety of food on the menu and it tastes really good. They also do to-go orders that you can call in ahead of time. If you happen to have an event out of town they will even ship some of their specialties, like suya, on dry ice to you. The staff is always polite. Definitely a great place to visit. read more

Authentic tasting Nigerian food... I am European, and worked 35 years in various countries. I spent 7 years in Nigeria, from 1992 until 1999. Based in Port-Harcourt, I also spent time in Lagos and Warri. During my time in Nigeria, I worked at various locations, including land and swamp. At times, only local food was available. This enabled me to discover and taste a lot of different dishes prepared with fresh ingredients, in the most traditional way. I always liked the natural ways of the Nigerian dishes. Suya being the most well known of them, but my favorite is Egusi soup with pounded Yam, or Garri. I always longed to be able to sample again on those exotic preparations. After doing a little bit of research, the Suya Hut popped on my radar, and I decided to give it a trial. It did not disappoint! I ate my Egusi soup the Nigerian traditional way, and my spouse enjoyed the beef Suya for the first time. I was suddenly back in Port-Harcout, eating a local restaurants with my crew, drinking my Star or my Gulder before heading to Friends, Chichi, Big Sisters, Barracuda and other Toby Jugs... We used to eat Suya at the "Principal's office", which was a school, but at night, a bar... So for those of you who never tried it, and a curious, the Suya Hut is it! Staff is friendly, and in these times of Covid-19, you call, they deliver outside to your car. Just a fantastic place, out of the beaten path.... read more

I've never heard if this place before today . I was referred to this place by a client of mine. The food is fresh and hot. I ordered the coconut rice and plantains with the red sauce without meat. I ordered the Vita Malt non alcoholic drink. This food is banging . I paid $8.95 for the food and $2.15 for the drink. I'm satisfied and I will be back. The bathroom is clean, the place is clean, and the Afrobeat music is off the chain. read more

This place was a stop on the "Taste of Black Houston" Bus tour. We arrived to an empty, sparsely decorated, cozy little restaurant. I was a little disappointed that the owner hadn't prepared the samples included on the tour. It's not like he didn't know we were coming. He scrambled to prepare and serve Suya Beef to about 30 patrons. The first batch was spicy which were grabbed up quickly. Despite my disdain for spicy foods, I really enjoyed it! The lack of preparedness tarnished my visit. If I'm in the area, I may return. read more

Suya Hut - Beef Suya - African Near Me - Houston, Texas

Major hole in the wall!! I always passed by this location but never knew this place existed until my friend took me. I've eaten suya before but the one they serve here is different from dry seasoned suya, it's more moist and saucy. I got the mild beef suya because I was scared that it was going to be too spicy but I should've went spicier. I love the onions and tomatoes on the side, it really helped freshen up the taste. The staff was very nice and friendly and full of energy. Next time I want to try other stuff on the menu read more
