WhatsApp or DM @KenSuya with what you're after — beef, chicken, lamb, or the full platter.
We'll confirm your price, timing, and whether it's collection or delivery to your door.
Nothing's cooked until it's ordered. Every skewer goes on the drum once you're confirmed.
Pick it up hot, or we'll bring it to you. Either way, straight off the skewer.
Fresh Off The Grill
In Nigeria, suya is a night thing. You find the mai suya by the smoke and the smell before you find the stall — thin-sliced meat, hot off the grill, dusted in a spice mix perfected over generations.
That's the standard we hold ourselves to. Every skewer is hand-rolled in our own yaji — roasted peanut, ginger, garlic, cayenne — then grilled hard and fast so the outside chars while the inside stays juicy.
No pre-mixed seasoning from a packet, no shortcuts. Just the spice, the fire, and fresh onion and tomato to cut through the heat.
Suya isn't complicated. It's a handful of ingredients done properly — thin-cut meat, roasted groundnut, the right ratio of heat to depth, and a hot grill. Ken Suya exists because too many places cut corners on all four.
We roast and grind our own yaji in-house, in small batches, so it's always fresh — not sitting in a tub for weeks losing its punch. Every skewer gets rolled by hand, not dunked.
We built this to taste like the suya spot you'd queue for back home. If it's quick, it's not suya — so we don't rush it, we just get faster at doing it right.
"Suya spice is not a shortcut. It's the whole point." — Ken Suya
Fresh Off The Grill
The Yaji Rub
No shortcuts on either end. The meat gets thin-sliced and skewered by hand, the yaji gets roasted and ground in-house, and the grill runs hot the whole time service is on.
Ordered the party platter for a birthday and it didn't touch the sides. Beef suya was gone in minutes.
Finally, suya that tastes like back home. The yaji is proper, not the sad packet stuff.
Asked for the extra-spicy special without thinking it through. Regret nothing.
