Brooklyn Suya
Included In
Generally speaking, fast-casual bowls are about as exciting as the transcript of a filibuster. But the Nigerian food at Brooklyn Suya is different. This is a tiny spot on Franklin Avenue with a few stools and just enough room behind the counter for a single employee, a rice cooker, a cash register, and an oven full of incredible smoked and grilled meats. Each bowl comes with your choice of protein (we like chicken or steak), a rice or kale base, add-ons (plantains are essential), and spice level (even the mild level is intense). Unfortunately, this place only does pickup and delivery orders — but you can find it on most delivery apps.
