I’m Cameroonian and yes $170 is definitely too much for all of that but then again it’s overseas. Also, suya is basically like beef jerky, it’s supposed to be a little dry. Not sure what to say about the Jollof tho. Glad you enjoyed overall.
I'm glad you enjoyed my countryman's food. Just for the record, suya is supposed to be dry with a lot of perpper so if they put it like this and it sure looks like they did, then they did it right. Also, the addition of the newspapper is a very good touch as this is what it is served like in Nigeria.
I’ve never had Nigerian food from a restaurant but I’ve had handfuls of Nigerian clients who have sent me home with homemade food and it was always amazing.
@@22xxjoshxx22I'm a 26 year old Nigerian living in Nigeria. Never seen anyone make tender beef before. We prefer our meat a bit more tough than what I see on American videos.
Ghanaian here. In defense of my Nigerian brothers usually its not dry it's gamey. We Africans typically import our chicken and meat from Africa where they free range rather than the American factory soft meat. Meaning our meat have muscles and are a bit tougher to chew.
Meat tougher to chew because it has muscles?? Is that not what meat is made of - muscles?? 🤣“We import chicken and meat from africa” you say that like it’s no free range meat in America. Free range or “factory” - meat being tender or not comes down to cooking times and technique. Yal just cook yal meat tough. Could be the cut of the meat also, leaner cuts tend to be drier/tougher if not cooked in ways to make it moist and tender.
@@kenW13Nope. I understand exactly what he’s saying. I’m from the Caribbean and the country I’m from we call the kind of chicken he’s talking about “yard fowl”. It is tougher than the regular chicken you get at the poultry shop or the grocery. When I lived in Brooklyn there were Dominican poultry places that had them. Similar to quail but it’s not, also close to a domesticated chicken but again, it’s not.
Hey Mr. ChimeTime, great video! We fry our meats hard to preserve them cause there’s no electricity in the villages. We just continue to do it cause it’s the traditional way to make it.
Suya is the one dish I prefer non-traditional. Give me all the spices, but PLEASE keep the meat tender. Gnawing on beef while eating rice or plantain ain't my vibe. 😅 In my area, African and Jamaican restaurants notoriously upcharge. But, I don't mind... Get your money; the market will decide if it's worth it.
Suya meat can be easily improved by the cut of meat used. In Nigeria, they use the cheapest cut of beef, but if they elevated it to thin rib-eye it would bring tears to your eyes. My husband is Nigerian and I have customized the dishes to be a fusion of Canada Nigerian flavors. For Suya beef, I only use rib-eye because of its tenderness.
1.The Fish is called "Point and kill". 2. The Jollof rice should be ate with plantains and salad. 3. Darkest is an important ingredient for suya. So only buy and eat it at night with a cold bottle(not can)🧐 of beer
The rice you got was actually a very traditional jollof rice that is meant to taste smoky (burnt). That being said, there is a far milder and better tasting version that is fantastic! Try and check it out!
As a first gen-Ghanaian American I've never really gone to other African restaurants other than my Mom's fridge and stove and various other community get-togethers. But ya gotta give Jollof a second chance. Try the Jollof King it's in Houston.
Great review. I tried this place a few months ago. I would agree with the review. I did not try the fish and was wondering about that. I may possibly go try it. Hopeful it will be worth it.
My husband is Nigerian and his Jollof rice is good, but I don't like Suya but their Sharma is so good, I just came back from Nigeria, I do love their food especially Egusi soup and vegetable soup. You should have eaten their fried rice instead.
Suya is usually on a skewer...never thought of using the seasoning on whole chicken. By far my favorite African dish is jollof rice with assorted meats plus a couple of pieces of fried mackerel ( for the coook) that would be me 😊
African and lots of other non Eesttern countries like rheir meat dry and chewy in some things. Melt in your mouth meat is not a thang in West Africa. You get one piece of tough meat and a oound of joloff and youll chew on that one oiece till you done!😊🥰🥰 Love West African fiod
Being an igbo man from southeastern nigeria, these dishes that Mr chime time tasted are hausa dishes. Suya is like beef jerky on a stick and is usually on the dry side. The jollof rice is not igbo style, and is also hausa style.
What! I know the owner of this place and he isnt Hausa. Na wa o, internet sha. Yes hes Jollof isnt the best dunno how he cooks it. But the Suya is great
I respect you so much man and one thing we take often for granted with you food reviewers is the health risks you put ur body through for us .

I'm Nigerian and $ 170 is way to pricy but sure looks tantalizing. It's a monthly treat but not everyday splurge. Or you can make it at home for more than half the price😂
Suya is dry bbq meat like a beef jerky it will be a bit chewy. Yes I find jollof rice is a gift anyone can make it but it’s the right ingredient measurements and cooking time can make it a heavenly dish. Never heard of the wrap combo but maybe it’s an American thing
It's supposed to be dry, traditionally the beef is thinly sliced smoked and kissed by fire. Chicken is a variation and the ram...haven't tried so ehh...but that Jollod rice didn't look right true Naija jollof is bussing every single on of my friends I've made it for practically proposed
Bro everything in the northern suburbs of Dallas has bougie pricing even in older “middle class” (housing prices have doubled in the last 5 years) neighborhoods. They’re the “white flight” part of DFW. Any Afro/Caribbean/Afro-Caribbean joint in east or west DFW and surrounding burbs is gonna be much more affordable.
I've been there. Check out 51 Rainbow across the lot from the Walmart nearby. Tokyo 1 in Allen just down the freeway also has amazing all you can eat sushi.

As a Nigerian I'm very proud of you
Dry is pretty signature of Suya meat....they used a spicy peanut powder concoction to coat the bbq'd meat. Hausa tribe is well known for their suya.
I have had their beef suya many times. Sometimes when they give you a juicy batch, it’s honestly the best meat in the world.
Suya meat can be easily improved by the cut of meat used. In Nigeria, they use the cheapest cut of beef, but if they elevated it to thin rib-eye it would bring tears to your eyes.

We only know beef as beef in Nigeria. I only learned about brisket, ribeye, minyon, etc on the internet and I still can't differentiate their textures

2. The Jollof rice should be ate with plantains and salad.
3. Darkest is an important ingredient for suya. So only buy and eat it at night with a cold bottle(not can)🧐 of beer
It's not, they just make it at night because of all the preparation during the day. The time of day does not matter.

It’s just the name given for party (traditional) Jollof rice
@@TheVicco13 lol, but we eat smoky party jollof nau
He could just go next door to louisiana and have some jambalaya. Black american culture rice that has a bit better flavor since it's local.

What do you think about pulling up on Daym Drops area in Bristol Connecticut and rate those restaurants in the area? 😊

I was shocked when I saw the whole piece of chicken. Never seen it prepared any other way than a skewer in Naija
bussin 🇳🇬
Edit: wherever u got ur jollof from, they prolly ain’t cook it right
Ya or they ain’t Igbo woman cooking it
I'm telling you man. The bravery that you have the tackle this food with no stains, Hanes needs to sponsor you or somebody.
When you’re actually there, you will not pay no where close to that price, but food does be good
Well made Jollof rice is really good. I had some at a party once and have thought about it since.
This looks delicious but I can't stand dry food
Oh no. Not the jollof rice being a 2/10 (Nigerians go to war over jollof rice) they might be on yo head for that one 😭
Lmao when he said” when he swallowed it”.😂😂😂
Driven by there but was skeptical....i can't do spicy but thanks for reviewing
Welcome back to Big D! RaMo
That rice looks 🔥
But not everyone know how to cook that rice that’s the truth 😫😫😫
I love authentic chicken/hen suya. It's spicy though. Try some moi moi next time.

the price is because its expensive to get some of the spices but also because not as much competition so the prices become a lil inflated

You have to try the Ghanaian version of everything you just ate. Then compare.
You’re finished
There is no basis and need for comparisms. Korea and Japan do not compare,each one represents themselves even if they have similar dishes.
Why do Ghanaian like to compare with Nigerians....abi Na..Soccer match

This is definitely your funniest video!
I knew it was finna be good when I seen it was sitting in newspaper🔥🔥
Mate smoky jollof is the best thing on earth. I am Nigerian and it looks delicious! They did over charge you though.
