"I wanted so to try this restaurant since I heard it had opened. I must say that I was very disappointed to go to pick up food for my family at 8pm to find that they not only did not have any food but a couple containers of okra soup and one other concoction not labeled. I asked if anything could be prepared and was told no. The location closes at 10pm today. Why was there nothing available? What a bad experience."
Before our lunch, a friend shared some reviews of the restaurant with me, all of which were quite negative. They mentioned overpriced food and drinks, unsanitary conditions, and service issues such as food being served without gloves (you can read those reviews on their website). We noticed a “Lounge Tax” of nearly $20 added to our bill, which seemed quite excessive just to dine there. Despite these warnings, we decided to go and experience it for ourselves.
Once we arrived and were seated, we already knew what we wanted since we had the menu. The unfortunate part was that the menus were outdated, and many of the items were unavailable. The few items that were offered were either overpriced...
This was our first visit to Suya Spot since the pandemic began, and we thoroughly enjoyed indulging in some Nigerian delicacies. The cold drinks, including Gulder beer and Maltina, were refreshing. We started with a Nigerian-style meat pie, which made for a great appetizer. True to Nigerian style, the crust was thicker than its Jamaican counterpart, but the flavorful meat inside made it worthwhile. The beef suya was tender and delicious, served with the traditional slices of red onion and tomato, alongside a side of plantain (dodo). We also tried a couple of dishes we hadn’t sampled before. The rice and beans were cooked to a perfect softness, and we were pleased to see the red cowpeas in th...
The tables were not cleaned between customers, and we had to clear our own space, even though there were about eight staff members standing around doing nothing. We tried the chicken Susa, which consisted of a quarter of a chicken seasoned with African spices. Unfortunately, the chicken we found on our plates was mostly dried out and filled with bones, with the skin making up most of the dish.
Our total for four people came to $73, which felt exorbitant for lunch, especially since they also added a 6% "lounge fee"—whatever that means. We had to pick up our own food and bus the table ourselves. I couldn't help but wonder what we were actually paying for. If I had seen the reviews before goin...
I strongly advise against visiting this restaurant. I placed an order through Uber Eats and was absolutely shocked when it arrived. The portion was far from adequate, and I felt like I was about to have a seizure upon seeing it. I'm visiting from Los Angeles, where, despite being a more expensive city than Owings Mills, I've never had to pay this much for so little food. They seem to take advantage of the fact that I have no choice but to accept whatever they provide. Save your money and go somewhere else. As a Nigerian, I'm truly disappointed by the lack of professionalism I encountered when I called to voice my concerns. I genuinely recommend seeking Nigerian food elsewhere.

Tried Suya Spot today for the first time. Ordered Asun and Chicken Suya. The Asun was described as deboned and there were bones in the meat. The meat was very tough and expensive for the amount you got. The spices were great! The chicken came as described with the exception of no cucumbers. Was surprised that no sides came with the meals which were overpriced and also higher priced than the online menu. This is not a place I would recommend. Was expecting a fresh, local experience. Food was very disappointing.
I don’t understand why someone would be in America if they don’t want to provide good service to everyone. We were really upset and just left without getting our money or the tip back, even though the food was overpriced and not good. Tips should be discussed or given voluntarily, not automatically included in the bill. I plan to file a complaint about their behavior, particularly regarding the blatant racism we experienced. It’s truly sad and disappointing.
The Suya spot was great when it first opened, but its quality has significantly declined over time. The staff appears unclean and disheveled; I noticed one short female staff member picking up a meat pie with her bare hands. More recently, I saw her picking her nose while serving customers—it's truly unacceptable. To make matters worse, the food is extremely overpriced. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.
