Traditional Street Foods From Around the World

Suya is a spicy meat skewer popular across West Africa, especially Nigeria. Typically made with beef or chicken, the meat is marinated in a dry rub of ground peanuts, cayenne pepper, ginger, and other local spices, then grilled over open flames.

Served with slices of onions, tomatoes, and often spicy sauce, suya is both a street food and a social tradition. People gather around suya spots late into the night, chatting and eating with friends. It’s smoky, flavorful, and a must-try for anyone exploring Nigerian cuisine.
