Underwhelming Suya — expected more

I was looking forward to Suya here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The deeply umami from fermented ingredients character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with uziza leaves or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. The a roadside suya stall at night setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. zobo hibiscus drink was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
