Best West African restaurant in Canada

S	Sanje Ab on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Suya collection was good. Jeloff rice was salty and it not the original big grain rice. Fried plantains was great. Rice portions are big and good for two people. They say food is ready in 20 minutes but when you go there you have to wait another 20 minutes.
P	Pasty Pastriez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Everything was good until they added the tip option to their POS. Whenever you don’t tip them (especially the lady) she gets so upset and doesn’t respond when you say thanks or have a nice day, sometimes she walks away to the kitchen after turning the machine towards you because she knows you wouldn’t leave a tip lol. How do you expect a tip with that nasty behaviour and overpriced food? The ladies here need to work on their attitude first then maybe, just maybe a tip will follow. Now for the food, their suya is a hit or miss - some days it tastes nice and other days it’s stale and salty, some days it’s spicy & other days it’s just tomato sauce ? I guess they prepare it based on their mood. Their jollof rice don’t even dare to try it cos you’re gonna be so upset you wasted your money. It tastes like rice mixed with red colouring and excessive salt ☠️. They also removed small beef suya from the menu and left us with no choice than to buy large (the quantity of the large suya is now same as the small but more expensive) Advice for the owner, have a recipe you follow - don’t just eyeball ingredients and finally, make your salespeople take a free customer service course on Coursera.
M	Marwa Suraj on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Easy to locate with maps, quick services too. I ordered the jollof combo(comes with 4 pieces of fried plantain, meat of choice, and a drink/bottle of water). Then I got myself their famous suya. That is the small-size in the photos attached. A serving of jollof is smaller than in other restaurants, FYI. The Suya came in large chunks of well-fried goat meat (not charcoal grilled), the slices were not like the skewer-style West African version, but they tasted good. I was expecting the marinade to be the powdered spice mix (“Yaji”, like we have in most parts of Africa) but it was a hot oily yet tasty sauce instead. I gave an extra star because food packaging was eco-friendly, and neatly packed. ♻️
K	King Odogwu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good African food is truly hard to find in this Canada! I truly enjoyed the mixed chicken and suya combo recommended by Shanice. I appreciate her amazing customer service! Her energy is wonderful and has a beautiful smile that lights up the room!
B	Bukky Lui on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was my first time trying the goat suya at the Scarborough location. I give it 1 star for a few reasons. The Suya was bland, completely missed the spice and the pieces were awkwardly cut. It was a box of fried goat meat. I can not believe the amount of marks missed with this dish. I thought the Suya Spot was a franchise and it would be in the same spectacular level as the Bradstock location. Boy was I wrong ? and a waste of time and money.
K	K R H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been to this place before and always liked it, thus went back but this time it was total disappointment. Not only they cut down the quantity of the large box ($23!) by nearly half they now charge for sauces! I asked over the phone if its i included and they said yes and when I pay the bill I see extra charge for sauces. The quality of the food also degraded. Would not recommend this place and will not go here again.
S	Simon Leung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Delicious! I would definitely come again and eat more! I had first heard about Suya Spot from Suresh Doss on CBC. My wife happened to be in the Morningside neighbourhood so I asked her to pick something up. Since I am a huge goat fan, I opted for the goat suya. The meat was dry, in a good way, not like beef or chicken that would taste terrible. The pieces came with assortments of bone and fat that made it all the more delicious. The serving came with a cabbage and red onion salad (no dressing) and some delightful hot sauce. My wife even enjoyed the goat which surprised me. I think it cost $10, so for me it was a little bit on the pricier side. The only downside is that my wife said she got the once-over look from the woman at the till, perhaps described/interpreted as 'what is this fancy looking white woman doing here?'; she's here to sample your delicious food and learn more about your culture!
D	DD on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I never had west African food a day in my life and this was my introduction. What an introduction it was, each dish was packed with flavour and various spices which was amazing!! Their suya beef was the most popular dish but I love their egusi and pounded yam and jollof rice !!! The staff was amazing and very helpful!!
