“ I've been waiting to try this place since my last visit to New York but didn't have the chance to get it last time. This time, I made it a priority to stop by. The tiny shop had a beautiful mural outside, and the inside has so much character. The employee behind the counter was so amicable with an infectious smile, I loved talking with her and was laughing while I waited for my food. I got a medium chicken bowl with medium spice, kale base, vegetables, and a plantain (which was an extra $1.50). I got the sauces on the side, but the employee recommended that I get it on my bowl because of the kale base since it would otherwise be dry. I followed her advice but she also gave me more of both sauces on the side -- so generous! This bowl was so filling and everything I needed it to be. The chicken was great, and I loved the veggies. Kale can be a hard base because of its toughness, but it was perfect here. The plantain was rather dry and was only half of a plantain, so next time I would ditch that. The sauces were so good and each brought their own complementary elements to the bowl. I would definitely come here again and try some of their other protein options because they all look great! ”

“ Glad I finally tried this! The flavor of the suya is delicious! I got shrimp and my husband got chicken. The rice was flavorful, the kale was fresh, and the egg was literally an egg lol but I like that you get an entire egg! The sauces that come with the food were both delicious and really complimented the flavor. I'd recommend getting extra on the side. My only complaint is that the chicken, shrimp, and plantain were all quite hard like they had been over-grilled or overcooked. But otherwise I really enjoyed my meal and would return again! ”

“ These humans are keeping health, wealth, and love high up on their list of values. This tiny establishment has massive flavor and has been constantly making sure I am full to the brim with their bowls (ALL OF THEM SLAP). I love making it spicy too. They are popular and you may have to wait a bit for your food, but you should most definitely take your money and spend spend spend it! ”

“ Amazing food ! Beautiful service!(Frendly) You can eat your food outside. 5 food !!! ”

“ Came here with my cousin and the service was great. The establishment is very small just take your order and go. They do have 2 benches outside if you want to sit and enjoy the new york breeze. All the bowls are made with fresh ingredients which I love. I had the eggplant bowl and it was delicious the cashier reccomended the sauces for me to add to my meal. If you like spice I say go mild it is very tasty. I would go back to try more. ”

“ Brooklyn Suyas Pop Up at the Franklin Bar was an absolute treat, especially during Nigerian Independence week. The fish was seasoned to perfection, the suya sampler offered a delicious variety, and the lamb was truly top tier, tender and packed with flavor. These pop-ups are more than just about the food; they're a powerful way to bring local businesses together and foster collaboration within the community. It's fitting that this celebration of culture happened during independence week. If you haven't checked out one of these events, you're seriously missing out. Thank me later! ”

“ While I've never previously had Nigerian Suya, it's part of a greater tradition of West African grilled meats which includes Senegalese dibi, the powerful scents of which encode my memories of nights spent walking along the VDN in Dakar. I was thankful that Brooklyn Suya offers a vegetarian recreation of its namesake dish with tofu so that I could finally partake in this tradition. The suya rub itself is phenomenal. It's heavy on peanuts, which goes perfectly with the smokiness of the grilled tofu. They marinated it sufficiently so that there was not a hint of blandness, a frequent issue with tofu on the BBQ. The suya is served in a Chipotle-esque bowl format - I opted for a rice base and an egg as an add-on. I didn't expect the egg to be boiled - it was definitely overcooked, so I think next time I'll opt for the plantains. ”

“ - amazing, amazing, amazing - great shrimp - I hear the beef is better - hearty meal - relatively inexpensive - seating is only outside on a few benches - super fresh ingredients ”

“ This place is so good! The sauces and spices they use go perfectly together. I always get the steak Suya. I do think they overcook the steak a bit. It's typically very tough. However, that can never keep me away because altogether the bowl is delicious. The portion sizes are great! Definitely very filling. ”
