Suya, booyah suckas! As the kind old Nigerian lady behind the counter explained to me, "It's like Kebab, but with Spice." That's a good description. Suya is chargrilled meat, and at Presidential Suya they have meat from many of our furry friends, from beef to chicken to KIDNEY.
I didn't try the kidney. Nevery having had suya, I just asked, "What should I get?" Everyone, from the mom and daughter working behind the counter to the rotund hanger-about, suggested beef. So beef I got. After heating it up in the microwave, the daughter patiently explained to me that suya is spicy (as she poured more spice powder onto my meat) and should be eaten with onions and tomatoes. Except, all they had were onions. She cut those up and wrapped my meal in some paper and I took it away.
I really liked it. It's barbecue beef, a little thick, and very tender. Plus, it's super spicy but a kind of spice i'm not used to.
I gave only three stars because of the lack of tomatoes and the price (£4 for a hand-size piece of meat). The people there are wonderful.
