Sabo Suya: Reviews & Ratings
Yes I do ,the food and drinks,everything is good and is hot ,the lady also who took care of us was amazing,very friendly and polite
Great food not super spicy which I was hoping for but good overall all flavor. I had the chicken and beef suya with jollof. Good portion sizes and affordable. Location is a bit questionable so I recommend getting it to go. FYI the Place only accepts cash or Zelle. 8/10 's.
Great service and great suya! First time at this location and it was great. Best Nija dining experience I've had in a while.
I come here all the time and I love the suya. Really like that's it's made with peanut oil instead of vegetables oil. The service is super fast so you are not spending all day waiting on your meal.
Another suya place to try! Not the nicest interior but very pleasant staff and a relaxed vibe to the place. Lots of Nigerians dining, which I took as a good sign as far as authenticity. Unfortunately, they don't serve plantains :( There is a wide variety of meats here, including ram, liver, gizzards, and whole hens and fish, along with grilled sticks of beef and chicken. The jollof is quite spicy.
The beef suya here slaps!!! You can get 4 for $5 or 8 for $10. I can't get enough of it. I also grab the hen from here. It's a decent sized portion and comes with a good amount of spice. As a Nigerian, I'm a big fan of spicy food. And this place gets it just right. The hen is $10. You can get a lot of meat here without breaking the bank. Definitely try this spot out.
Decided to check out 'Sabo Suya Spot' and compare it to Suya Hut, which IMO, is King of Suya in Houston. Value at this place, kills Suya Hut. Suya Hut's beef Suya is $1.39 per stick. At Sabo, you pay either 4 for $5, or 8 for $10, which comes out to $1.12 a stick cheaper than Suya Hut . Besides that, the portion at Sabo is quite a bit more generous than at Suya Hut. I also ordered Joloff rice, topped with ram Suya for $7. The jolof rice was probably a tad better than Suya Hut's. I just wish it also came with plantains. But for $7, can't complain. The ram was pretty dang spicy, but still good. As far as the beef Suya goes, I'm not quite ready to take the crown from Suya Hut', but Sabo's Suya is definitely some of the best I've had besides Suya Hut. They also give you onions and tomatoes with your order. Suya Hut still has an edge because of the signature maranaid flavor, and grilled taste. For those that prefer what's termed as the more 'authentic naija suya', Sabo's is excellent. I never dine-in at Suya Hut, so that's not something I care about, but Sabo is pretty much on par with Suya Hut, neither being anything special as far as dine in experience goes. Suya Hut might have a more broad selection as far as the menu goes, if you want something besides Suya, and Jolof rice. Additionally, as far as I can tell, Sabo doesn't serve any unclean meats, like pork or shrimp. Overall though, I think Sabo has the edge over Suya Hut, because of the value, and overall satisfaction.
