The best restaurants in Roxbury, according to the experts: Eater, Boston Magazine, and James Beard Awards have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Suya Joint comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Suya Joint
African
The namesake suya, smoky grilled meat with West African roots, gives this Roxbury restaurant its name and its personality. The menu runs from whole-fried snapper to okra soup with fufu to a peanut stew regulars quietly reorder every visit. The chef earned a James Beard semifinalist nod in 2024, which tracks for a neighborhood spot that has no business being this good and knows it.
