Suya Joint

Suya Joint on Dudley Street in Roxbury serves Nigerian food, with grilled suya at the center of the menu. The beef version gets its seasoning from peanut powder, ginger, cayenne, onion, and garlic, then arrives with fresh vegetables. Order a combo with jollof rice and fried plantains if you want a full meal. There are options beyond grilled meat, including whole fried snapper, stewed tofu, and black-eyed peas cooked in a tomato and pepper base. A sampler brings together plantains, samosas, and a choice of wings or tofu for sharing. Peanut is an ingredient in the suya seasoning, so anyone with an allergy should discuss their order with the restaurant.
