Sharing his experience, Gabriel said, “Everything here is Nigerian - even the Milo (chocolate drink). This Suya has more of a modern concept - the other Suya outlets are more traditional.

“Had the meat pie - it was a beef pie. It was decent - with a bit of potato & mildly spiced. It was basically like a large cornish pasty.”

The Suya Spot

The Suya Spot is one of the few places for Nigerian food in Toronto. They serve beef and goat suya as well as fresh Moimoi. You can order it off-menu. They also have authentic pepper soup on Thursdays. They have a quick service, although ordering can be a little chaotic. The place turns into a dance club at night. There's plenty of seating at this location and free parking.

ID Love Restaurant

ID Love Restaurant dishes out African/Nigerian cuisines. It is located in the heart of Toronto, ON. Asides from its Naija style bar, it also serves Isi Ewu, Nkwobi, Ugba, Pepper Soup and so on.

Michelle a food reviewer on Yelp, who has visited the place wrote, “I have been here a few times for nightly events. It’s not bad, the place can get a bit crowded though because it is rather cramped there. However, the music is great and it gets really lively after midnight or so. This place is a restaurant that turns into a club at night. I have never been there to have dinner but I heard they serve some really nice Nigerian delicacies!!”
