Suya Joint in Roslindale Moving from Roslindale to Roxbury

It looks like one of the only restaurants in Boston that serves Nigerian food is moving.

Eater Boston is reporting that Suya Joint in Roslindale is closing in preparation for a move from its current Poplar Street location to Dudley Square in Roxbury. The article says that its final day in business in Roslindale Village is later this week, though it is not known whether the last day is Friday, January 29 or Saturday, January 30 (a note on the restaurant's Facebook page says "Friday, January 30"). It appears that the eatery will open in its new space in Roxbury sometime this spring.

[January 22, 2016 update: A new article from Eater Boston states that Suya Joint is now open in its new home in Roxbury.]

Suya Joint first opened in February of 2012, moving into the space where the Bangkok Cafe had once been; the dining spot offers West African cuisine, with an emphasis on Nigerian fare.

The new address for Suya Joint will be 185 Dudley Street, Roxbury, MA, 02119. Its website can be found at http://www.suyajoint.com/

Suya Joint to Replace Bangkok Cafe in Roslindale

It looks like an African restaurant is coming to Roslindale, and it will apparently be moving into the space where a Thai spot has been for the past several years.

According to the restaurant's website, Suya Joint is planning on having a grand opening for their restaurant sometime this month on Poplar Street. The address that they give is that of the Bangkok Cafe, which has been in Roslindale Village since 2005, and a PDF page on the City of Boston website seems to confirm that Bangkok Cafe will be replaced by Suya Joint, as a transfer of a liquor license from one business to the other was discussed during a Licensing Board meeting last month.

The 35-seat Suya Joint will be featuring West African cuisine, with an emphasis on Nigerian fare. It will also offer catering, according to its website.

[February 13, 2012 update: According to Universal Hub, Suya Joint is now open. (Thanks to food/drinks writer MC Slim JB for bringing this to our attention.)]

The address for the new Suya Joint is: Suya Joint, 25 Poplar Street, Roslindale, MA, 02123. The website for the restaurant can be found at http://www.wix.com/dowcreativesolutions/suya-joint
