About Southern Suya

Located at 3202 Northlake Pkwy NE, Atlanta, GA, Southern Suya is a hidden gem offering authentic West African cuisine. Specializing in suya, a popular grilled meat dish, this restaurant introduces a flavorful blend of spices and seasonings that are sure to excite your taste buds.

When you step into Southern Suya, you’re immediately welcomed by a cozy and clean interior. The friendly staff, led by the helpful cashier Yusuf, ensures that your dining experience is smooth and pleasant. The menu is a delightful journey through West African flavors, featuring dishes like beef suya, chicken suya, jollof rice, and plantains.

The suya is one of the restaurant's standout dishes. Grilled to perfection, it offers a smoky flavor with a rich seasoning that’s both spicy and savory. For those looking to complement the suya, the jollof rice is an excellent choice, with its grilled taste and aromatic spices that pair beautifully with the meat. If you're in the mood for something a bit different, the okra stew with pounded yam (also known as fufu) offers a comforting, hearty option, although the fufu may feel a bit bland on its own, pairing nicely with the stew’s rich flavor and mild heat.

For those with a sweet tooth, the plantains are a must-try, though they can vary in sweetness depending on when they're served. The wings, seasoned with suya spice, are another popular choice. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor, they’re a fan favorite. With most dishes priced under $20, Southern Suya provides a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re a long-time lover of West African cuisine or new to these bold flavors, Southern Suya offers an inviting atmosphere and a menu that will leave you craving more.

What Our Customers Say

“ I just kind of happened onto this place and happy I did. Was at the nail sad look next door and was about to drive off when looked up and saw this place. To know me is to know I'm always looking for suya. So I had to try it. I got chicken suya with a side of jollof with plantain. Well it was tasty. The service was straight to the point and meal was tasty.i would go back to the more. ”

“ Southern Suya did an amazing job introducing me to West African cuisine. The cashier Yusuf, also did an amazing job guiding my friends and I through the menu. At the time, we decided to dine in, and the interior looked nice with clean tables and chairs. There was a little bit of a wait for the food to come out. I had decided to go with some Plantains, Beef Suya, with Jollof Rice, and Okra Stew that comes with the Pounded Yams (or Fufu I believe). First off, the Plantains are either a hit or miss, they aren't that sweet I had also gotten served one fresh and hot, and the second time was a bit cold. Beef Suya had so much flavor with its seasonings and pepper but it was a little tough to chew through. The Jollof Rice is just as good, it has the same flavoring profile being grilled and seasoned as the beef overall I felt it was a bit too much for my palette, I could've gone for coconut rice to be honest. The Okra Stew was good, it had a bit of a kick and heat to pair with the sort of bland Fufu the size of your palm. My friend got the 6-piece chicken wings with the Suya seasoning, the wings were seasoned perfectly, and tender, and crispy fries as well. Both times I visited the price was at least under $20 depending on what you ordered. ”

“ It's difficult to find great places that serve fufu and egusi, but this one is fantastic! I highly recommend it. The jollof rice and egusi were incredibly flavorful. I love it! ”

“ Great food and loved the chill vibes of the restaurant. Being Nigerian, I am critical of trying other people's food but this did not disappoint! Will definitely be returning. ”

“ I had no idea what beef suya was but I was amazed at how good it is. Warning that it's spicy though. The coconut rice came with a red stew sauce that was delicious as well. I will definitely go back again. I gave it 5 stars because I like to support food that's beyond the ordinary. ”
