Hi all! Had meant to have posted this post a few weeks back but have been kept super busy with shoots and projects of late.
After successful completion of a shoot/project I creatively directed, the designer, model and I were in search of some great food to fill and quieten our hungry tums! I had heard of Aria Suya Kitchen but had not yet been and had suggested we all go there to munch and try it out.
Maaaaaan, we were not disappointed.
Immediately, when we entered the restaurant the first thing that I noted and loved was the attention to detail with the decor. I'm always big on attention to detail and loved the monochrome vibes followed through to a T from the seating to the art displayed on the walls to the menu.
We were greeted by a waitress who was welcoming, was happy to answer our questions and offer top picks/recommendations as well as great customer service.
Plantain chips (if you're in the states) or Plantain crisps (if you're in the UK) with a spicy stew used for dipping the chips was first brought out to us; these are complimentary on the house and got our taste buds going for our orders.
We ordered the suya chicken wings, which tasted great.
I ordered a beef suya dish with spinach, model ordered a suya wrap that came with yam chips. I was impressed by the presentation of such dishes as usually when I have ordered suya from other establishments such attention to detail isn't present.
We finished off our meal with chin chin cheese cake.
I have a thing for desserts which I have cut down over the years but still enjoy a great dessert now and again. The combo is so creative and I loved every bite.
I was so impressed by everything and was wondering why I had never come across this place since I had been in Houston!
I had to speak to the owner (who stated he had opened the store 7 weeks ago) and congratulate him on the opening of such a great spot in Houston, Texas, the meals, presentation and attention to detail was on point - I definitely will be coming back and taking many others to try this spot.
If you're ever in Houston, Texas I recommend you try this spot, hopefully your tastebuds will be satisfied like mine were.
