Our review Why we like Lagos Suya Spot
The appeal here is immediate. You arrive, you smell smoke and spice, and you already know what you are ordering. The suya seasoning does most of the talking, and the rest is about choosing your meat, your sides, and whether you want the heat to be polite or unforgettable.
The experience is designed for sharing. Tables tend to order a mix of beef suya, chicken, goat, wings, or mixed platters, then settle in for conversation. It works especially well for groups that want a simple menu and a strong atmosphere. If you are also comparing other good-value options in the city, you can skim our budget eats list for Nairobi.

What to order
Start with beef suya, then add chicken wings or goat if you are sharing. Ask for the spice level you prefer and balance the heat with a cold drink and a side you can snack on slowly.
