I am rarely down in Barrhaven, but was running a few errands there, so stopped by Moyo Grill for some takeout. Overall, the food was ok, but had too strong of a charcoal smell and taste for me. I ordered a half chicken meal with jollof rice and plantains $20.99). The wait was about 30 minutes. They serve the food in styrofoam takeout containers never my preference for both health and environmental reasons). The food was so hot, it melted and deformed the bottom of the container. Hope I didn't ingest too many carcinogens as a result o_O I got spicy for the chicken. It had some kick to it, but wasn't all that spicy. It smelled and tasted strongly of charcoal. Too much so for my liking. However, it was tender and juicy, not dry at all. The rice was spicier than the chicken, which I liked. However, I've had lots of jollof rice and this version had a spice in it that I had not tasted before in jollof rice and I didn't like it. It also had lots of huge dried bay leaves in it that I had to pick out. The plantains were great though. Soft and sweet with a nice caramelization to them. Staff were courteous. The restaurant is in a strip mall with lots of free parking.

Amazing food! Goat suya and jollof rice have heat and are packed with flavor. Also got the half chicken and plantain. Everything is cooked to perfection. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend! Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5
