Aria Nigerian Suya Kitchen - Pearland (TX)

4 /5 Brass Cuisine: I’ve been to this place a few times just never posted a review. However it’s decent. I do think often times the food is old. My kids “tolerated” the Egusi Soup but we’ve had way better. When we asked the clerk if tripe comes with the assorted meat she mentioned she didn’t think so. Only to get home and tripe was inside. She also said there would be goat meat inside but there wasn’t and we paid $2 extra. Anyway, if they could be a little more consistent and prepare “Fresh” food it would make a difference. The tripe and beef tasted as if it was part of another soup that they simply “added” !

5 /5 Anathea Alimon: Food was delicious! Decor and vibes were neat as well. Very flavorful food and some dishes even offer a sample to try before you choose to order it. Would definitely recommend. The beef suya was our favorite, but the catfish egusi was really tender and the jollof plate was worth every dollar!

5 /5 Kim Carlson: Authentic restaurant quality Nigerian food. Wait staff was patient and helpful, as we had never been there before. Decor and music set the vibe with comfortable raised sofa seating, with black and gold accents. We will be back!

5 /5 Kristi Williams: The food has been great every time I’ve visited. I’ve been to both the Westheimer and Pearland locations, and the experience has been consistently good. The customer service is solid, and the food is flavorful and satisfying. At the Pearland location, the food isn’t quite as spicy, which I understand may be based on the customer base, but when I asked for my food to be cooked at its normal heat level, they were more than happy to accommodate. I absolutely love the beef suya, as well as the shrimp and crawfish dish. The plantain chips they bring out at the beginning are a really nice touch and always hit the spot. One of our household favorites is the okra soup with pounded yam—it never disappoints. Overall, this is a really great place with a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. I definitely recommend both locations. They also have a great happy hour, making it an excellent spot to bring guests. I’ve had friends visit from out of town who absolutely loved it, and now every time they come to the Houston area, this is where they ask to go.
