Obalade Suya Restaurant

A unique experience I had at this beautiful gem of an African Nigerian dining experience ..Once you arrived at the restaurant, you are greeted and well looked after by the attendant. The food was great and tasted fresh , had a great time engaging with the owner , who was warm and welcoming.

Definitely a great recommendation!
This was a first timer. Cozy place with seating for around 20 people. Food is ordered at the counter, but the staff will serve your food. Ordered a nostalgic tasting of Fanta (the orange one), and a variety of dishes including the pounded yam with egusi, and jollof rice.

For me the meat dishes were outstanding. The jollof rice with chicken stew, and the goat pepper soup are two dishes I will probably go back for. The chicken stew reminded me of butter chicken/chicken tikka masala. The goat pepper soup is just wow for people who love spice (and some game).

The pounded yam was the first time, it has a plain natural taste, so I would recommend combining it with a stew. The tomato meat stews I definitely recommend.

You can eat most dishes with cutlery, but it's common practice to eat with your hands (you can wash your hands at the front of the restaurant).

Very delicious restaurant, you need to ring the doorbell when you enter the door, don't try to go around the back. Great for Asian palates. We ordered two rice sets, their rice is seasoned, the red sauce on top of the fish is spicy and tomato flavored, fried crispy, most of the fish bones are edible, very delicious. But the fish I think it may not be suitable for people who mind fish bones. If you mind, you can order chicken beef or mutton meals. Their food portions are good, one set meal is enough to fill you up.

An atmosphere and the service need a little bit of improvement, but when food goes in your mouth, you don't have to give a flying F about the rest of the things because it's that good and yummy. Like you go to your grandma's house and she feed you like for a week.

Gosh, this food was so good. A little more expensive then I aim for, but so worth it. I mean, look at that fish - it was fried perfectly, easy to eat and easy to avoid the bones. The sauce it came with was also great, such a nice space, and it went well with the fish, and the plantain. I’d love to have this food again.

Really nice meal here, I ordered pounded yam and Egusi and it was delicious. Their portions are also quite large

Lovely food! Fresh deep fried tilapia, jollof rice, plantain, and okra. It is on the more expensive end; all dishes listed + 2 soft drinks = €40. Don't expect much of a vibe as it's in a dingy room. But the food more than makes up for it!

Loved the egusi and pounded yam.
The food is good but the place is small and no window to look outside. It is close to Bullewijk metro.

Super nice and authentic African food. Tasty, spicy, delicious!!! A bit far from the city centre, but super worthy!

It's amazing and delicious!

Every € I spent here worth it.i enjoyed the jellof rice and assorted meat.

Amazing food. That Suya is 💯. Make sure you get the Suya !!!! 5/5. When I come to Dam next time I'm defo going again!!!!

First time eating African food…. And now I’m addicted to it !

It's not the best looking restaurant, but the staff and food is on another level.

Ordered poundo yam with ogbono.Recommend

Great food, I ate there few times while I was in Netherlands. The cook well, pretty easy to find just use Google direction.

Thank you for the great meal and hospitality. My friend was visiting Amsterdam and he wanted some food from home, so I took him to the place I used to live across the street from.
The fried tilapia was delicious.

OMG! Best African/Nigerian restaurant EVER! (J.k. My 3rd time eating Africa food). Anyway, the food menu was ridiculously simple with fish, beef, chicken and goat respectively. You eat them with African fiber source such as rice or yum etc. It was family owned and the service was super friendly! Price is very reasonable if you consider this is Amsterdam, the city of sin! 5* highly recommended!!!

The food was really Amazing and we have a lovely and great client service. I recommend 100%

no non sense eats place they do take away as well as eat in .I use it to impress my friends visiting from the UK all the time. And when I myself feel a yearning for some down to earth Nigerian food. I highly recommend them great husband and wife team as well
