Suya Academy

They just gained a loyal customer. The suya was too sweeeeeeet🤭 as I’m writing this review, I’m craving it. They have all sorts of meat on the grill, very well spiced and seasoned. They were fast with my order and they had drinks as well. They had great customer service and they were really organised. Although the seats were uncomfortable, it felt more like a takeaway than having the option to sit in.

I bought £50 goat suya on 21/3/205 for a dinner party. The taste & flavour spot on for me, authentic & like what l get back home…. BUT meat disappointedly included lots of bones & un-chewable bits  … nearly suya heaven but not quite as a lot ended up in the bin.

Happened just to walk past this place, got drawn in by the smell and the fire on the grill. Well worth trying, the gentleman serving me was real nice & the portion of beef Suya was great. Well seasoned (option to go spicy or not), nice salad option (onion, tomato & cucumber) - large portion is £15, medium £10.

Definitely keen to try more from this place. Small spot and sometimes you’ll need to wait depending on the meat you want

LOVED THEIR CHICKEN! beautifully grilled right in front of you. By far best chicken in Plumstead.Highly recommend it, thought a bit on the pricey side - £10 for 1/2 grill chicken.
Staff were very friendly which is a bonus!
There is such a buzz in this establishment as you can see them cooking the chicken.

Yesterday, I decided to check out a place called Suya Academy. I’d never been there before, so I thought, why not? To my surprise, when I walked in, the atmosphere was incredible — the energy was just right. It genuinely felt like being back in Africa, with the vibe and the way everything was being done. I was really excited.

I asked how long they’d been open, and to my surprise, they said three years — I couldn’t believe I’d never noticed it before! The staff were very customer-focused; the general manager asked me what I wanted. At first, I wasn’t sure, so I glanced at the whiteboard at the back displaying the prices. My initial thought was that it seemed a bit pricey, but I decided to give it a go since I was feeling peckish — it was around 10 p.m.

I ordered a large Tozo Suya for £15. When I got outside and opened it, I was genuinely shocked. The meat was so tender — I couldn’t believe how soft it was! The flavour was incredible — my taste buds were dancing! I kept wondering, why does this taste so good? Why am I so excited about it? Why am I already thinking about promoting it and leaving a review?

Honestly, it’s the best Suya I’ve ever had. I’ve tried Alhaji Suya in Greenwich (which is rated 4.5) and Peckham, Ade Suya in Charlton and Thamesmead, and even Suya in Newcastle — but this was on another level. I can’t lie — it’s absolutely fantastic.
