Suya Palace Nigerian/African Charcoal Grill & BBQ Restaurant

As a Nigerian myself, I have had my fair share of egusi, but this is the most bland, oily egusi I have ever had. It was white and tasted like raw palm oil. I had such high hopes especially since the food was $36 for the egusi and poundo. I really am disappointed for a Nigerian restaurant.

Excellent Nigerian food and atmosphere at this location. The food is somewhat spicy personally however, the spice levels could be too much for people who don’t normally eat spicy food. I recommend getting a split of the Suya and Chicken. Portions are amazing and drinks are on the house. Plantains, Jollof rice and coleslaw are all included with a Suya platter creating great value for the $30 (15% tip included) thay you’ll be spending!

Wait time was quick as myself and two friends were the only patrons around 8pm on a snowy night. Food was served quick and the staff were extremely friendly. Dining area was ambient, plentiful with views of the street and Nigerian music playing at an appropriate volume in the background.

Recommended for anyone wanting to experience Nigerian food or test their spice levels without spending too much money!

Unfortunately our rice was extremely burnt. Not the nice smokiness of jollof but just burnt rice in both plates we purchased. The rest of the food was okay but the experience was ruined since the rice is what truly makes the dish. Spending $60 on carry out I expect more.

This restaurant is honestly one of the best I’ve been to in Canada. The food is so good their jollof rice is the best I’ve tasted in any restaurant here. For the price, it’s absolutely worth it. The platter has everything you could want, and the portions are perfect.

The staff are amazing as well. Miracle served us, and he was so sweet, calm, and welcoming. He made us feel really comfortable from the moment we walked in.
This place is a must visit I’ll definitely be coming back!

I totally enjoyed having my breakfast here . Their portions are very sizeable to get one filled . Their proteins are big size which is so so nice 🤩😁. Before you will think I was the only one that ate the whole food 😂 I went there with a friend who also wanted to try out Nigeria food in Ottawa. We totally enjoyed our experience. Highly recommend. The eforiro soup was really delicious as well as the ayamashie stew. The meat is crispy outside but soft inside 😍 really nice 👍. And for my Muslim friends it’s Halal proteins.

Stopped by in Ottawa and hit this spot because my son keeps ordering here. True to his words, the food is excellent. The Smokey jollof had the perfect flavour, the suya was a little dry. But the efo riro…was beyond explanation. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The service person (Miracle) was so personable and respectful in answering all questions. That was some good food!
