Muazu's Suya

Peckham’s Best Restaurants | Where to Eat in Peckham and Peckham Rye - Eater London

"Only the second northern Nigerian suya spot to open in London (after Alhaji on Peckham Park Road), the family of Muazu’s young owner, Muhammed Muazu, hail from the predominantly Hausa/Fulani Kaduna State, close to suya’s birthplace. Muazu’s was one of the first outlets to open in the new “Market Place Peckham,” a slick, street food rebranding of the Aylesham Centre, where Muazu has a tiny stall with a daily white board menu and stream of regular customers. His suya is up there with anywhere else in the city, with the possible exception of Alhaji, and is only really limited by the confines of his space. The quality of the meat is excellent, with an electric yaji that may be slightly tamer than some but leaves the imprint of its aroma on nose and tongue. The jollof and masa are great options, but don’t miss out on the shawarma wraps, with cylinders of pink chicken sausages for texture, as well as gizzard and shaki on the side." - Jonathan Nunn
