Osuma Suya Bringing Nigerian Barbecue to Chamblee This September

CHAMBLEE, GA – Nigerian barbecue concept Osuma Suya is coming to Atlanta with a new fast-casual location at 5126 Peachtree Blvd, Chamblee, GA 30341. Co-owner Uchenna Onwualu told Business Debut that they plan to open mid-September 2025.

With several location in Texas, the Chamblee unit will have an ambiance of bold red-and-black visuals and portraits that honor famous Nigerian musicians like Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Rema. “It’s going to be even better than anything we’ve done so far,” Onwualu said.

A Fast-Casual Experience with Nigerian Roots

The Chamblee store will follow Osuma Suya’s quick-service model with culturally rich environment. The brand’s menu centers around suya.

“Suya in itself is a northern food. It’s grilled meat seasoned with different spices and served right off the grill,” Onwualu explained. “We do beef suya, chicken suya, chicken wing suya, ram suya, it’s African-style barbecue.”

Guests can also expect favorites such as pointed grilled barbecue fish, sweet tacos, jollof rice, and more.

From Miami to Texas to Georgia

Osuma Suya began in Miami in 2010, founded by Uchenna and his late father, Sylvester Chude Onwualu. Starting as a side hustle while Uchenna worked as a business analyst, they sold suya at parties, clubs, and catered events and weddings, including events for Nigerian celebrities.

After relocating to Dallas, Texas, the business experienced rapid growth, largely due to the presence of a large African community. In 2022, Onwualu partnered with his best friend, Maxime Paul, now the company’s CFO and COO, to expand across Texas with locations in McKinney, Euless, Houston, and soon Austin.

The business was named to honor Onwualu's grandfather, who whose first name was Osuma.
