Best Dishes at Alhaji Suya

Tozo — beef organs — is the house favorite. The meat is given a flash on the grill just before serving, then wrapped with sliced red onion and tomato, and dusted with the signature yaji spice mix (chilli, peanut, ginger, and garlic blend imported from Kano). The Infatuation notes it delivers a less consistently melt-in-your-mouth experience than fresh meat, but still excellent.

Prime beef cuts on skewers, charred until the edges caramelize, then finished with yaji spice. The Infatuation recommends beef as the most reliable option alongside tozo for tenderness. Wrapped with fresh red onion and tomato for textural contrast.

The Infatuation specifically recommends: 'If you need a 4pm snack, get a suya meat pie. And maybe take one for later too.' These hand-held pastries are perfect for portable eating and keep the suya flavor profile portable.

Tender lamb is the premium option for suya lovers. The natural fattiness of lamb carries the yaji spice particularly well. Comes with the standard fresh red onion and tomato accompaniment. A more luxurious choice than beef or tozo.
