"As soon as you walk into this counter-service West African spot in Northern Liberties, you’ll get thumped with the scent of steaming jollof rice, plantains fresh out of the pot, buttery cornbread muffins, and chicken sizzling on the grill. It’s a sensation that we can’t put a price on—but they have, and it’s notably affordable (bowls cost around $13, and each one comes with a side). Come to Suya Suya for a quick meal before catching a train from the Spring Garden station, or if you want to pick up something for a Spades-filled game night." - candis mclean
