The 10 Best West African Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Like many restaurants in the Galleria neighborhood, Aria Suya Kitchen has the energy of a semi-exclusive club. Mostly thanks to plush booths and the latest Afrobeat tunes playing throughout the restaurant. As fabulous as the decor may be, you're here for the food—like earthy egusi soup, beef-filled meat pies, and our favorite, the sizzling suya. Suya platters overflow with meat and wings, and a suya spice shaker sits on every table in case anyone needs to turn up the heat. This place is designed for you to stay awhile, so come here when you want to shoot the breeze over palm wine with a couple of friends. And if you’re at Aria Suya Kitchen Wednesday-Sunday and want to keep the party going, head to their connected lounge to hang out, smoke hookah, and have a cocktail or two." - gianni greene
