    • Prosper O. ★★★★ Spot for beef and chicken barbecue/suya.
    • Nuhu I. ★★★★ This one of the Suya Spots in the midst of spots around the Isa Kaita Road. It is relatively new and is so far well kept and have proper lighting for people buying at night. It also have a limited parking since it is a grab and go stop, if you are driving here you most times you have to wait for the customer that is there before you to finish before you can park. Usually accommodates about 3 cars at a time only so you can either park far back and walk or park across and honk to signal an attendant or cross over yourself to get served.
