Where to Find West African Suya in London | Eater London

"Of course suya is not just a Nigerian food. The Hausa influence stretches across the north of Ghana and Cameroon, as well as Niger, Chad and Sudan. Most Ghanaian restaurants in London will do some form of suya, and Accra Palace in Clapton is no better or worse than any of them, but it has the virtue of being able to produce skewers quickly, with diners in and out for £2.50 in the time it takes one to heat up. This is not in the top tier of suya — for that, for it to be fresh, a 20 minute wait is standard — but the cubes of lamb are well seasoned with a yaji that caresses and numbs the upper lip rather than bullies. For north of the river (while &suya is on hiatus) this is about as good as it gets although Onidodo in Turnpike Lane is said to do chicken suya waffles, which is huge behaviour." - Jonathan Nunn
