Maman Kato, Abuja - Suya and Shawarma

Eat Something Cooked Over an Open Fire

Looking for something filling that doesn't go through the elaborate process of conventional food making? Perhaps some spicy chicken from an open flame charcoal grill, or some shawarma?

On those days when you want a break from the Drumstix building, you should give Maman Kato a shot. At the entrance of the compound is Maman Kato Suya and Shawarma.

There was a time when this was Abuja’s go-to place for shawarma, before other establishments caught on and stepped up their game.

Simple, yet robust menu

You can also get chicken, beef, and gizzard suya. It takes some time to get ready, depending on the rush, so you might want to have a seat in the gazebo, watch the cars drive by, and catch a breather.
