Starboy Grill Restaurant & Bar in Thurrock

fish was unnecessarily spicy, too hot and lacking flavour. I don't mind spice but this was too much. food finished but not enjoyable. this jollof was alright. unfortunately won't buy from here again.

Nice pleasant service. I bought the Asun. I wouldn't buy it again but will go back to try something else..... So I have been back to try the Beef Suya, a personal favourite, and the only thing disappointing was the wait time, especially as I called ahead to order. It was delicious I'd say a solid 7.5 maybe even 8 out of ten any time I'm in the area I will be stopping by again. Note to self call an hour ahead next time.

Very good food...grill platter is a must...jollof was on point...people were polite and professional. What more can you ask for?

Definitely the best asun, suya and sharwarma in this part of the UK. Highly recommended. I would advise to call ahead then pick up at the allocated time as it's very popular and busy.

Need to sort there delivery service out waited to long for food

StarboyGrill is a gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality. The menu offers a delightful selection of expertly crafted authentic Nigeria street foods bursting with flavor. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every visit is memorable. A must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional dining experiences and a taste of Naija.

The best suya I have had in the United Kingdom. It was a great experience

The restaurant provided excellent food and customer service. I enjoyed the meal! 🥰

Terrible experience, always late with their orders or cancelling orders after 2 hours of waiting. Joke.

After receiving numerous recommendations, I decided to visit Starboy Grill with my friends, and I must say, it ranks among the finest African restaurants I've ever experienced. The cuisine was exceptional, the service truly remarkable, and the ambiance simply delightful. I look forward to revisiting with both friends and family in tow. The owner's warm and welcoming demeanor added to the overall positive experience.

Me and yayas spot. Boiii we had a time

I ordered a plate of jollof rice but I received fried rice instead, the food was too cold as well, this is so abysmal cos this isn’t what I ordered

Fantastic barbecue restaurant. A place recommended for relaxation.

I called ahead and was told 40 mins max, 1 hour 30 mins later my food still not ready, people who came after me being served before me.

Went there to buy a wrap. absolutely amazing taste and filling! few seats for you to catch up with friends. friendly staff and atmosphere. can't wait to go back. Great spot for Nigerian food.

New restaurant for me, the food was great. Will be definitely putting this place on my favorites for take out.

Very good place to have a drink and Africa dishes and Suya

Starboy you no do well oh! It’s one thing to look great on Instagram but then another actually frictionlessly taking and delivering food orders efficiently let alone to scale-up and increase volume 💷 Enjoy the Nigerian cuisine but not the service I get from the restaurants due to a lack of empathy or consideration towards the disabled customer (church-mind does not apply here for some reason). Starboy was recommended by a friend so I patronized the business when it was operating out of a food van in a pub car park in South Ockendon. Even back then it wasn’t easy getting assistance so, I’d have to bring someone along with me to ensure things went okay. Drove an hour to the new shop in Grays yesterday as I promised to visit and I fancied some Suya. Called 📞through my order, and checked it would be okay attend to me in the car parked just outside the restaurant and was told reluctantly it was (given a 30min timeframe) so I sat and waited. Saw customers troop in and leave with their food and no sign of mine, no signal to say they were working on mine. At the hour mark and tired of seeing customers I was ahead of leave with theirs I gave up and called it a day and set off on my hour drive home. Sadly this experience is the norm for me personally when it comes to interacting with Nigerian restaurants; I never leave feeling great. I have always believed Nigerians were pure business minded people so I am shocked regularly as I don’t see a business sense for turning a paying and repeat customer away like this. It would be fair to ask whether this experience would be the same regardless of the type of food I would go for generally but I can tell you it is NOT. I can order a Chinese take away now, pop round 🚗 there, ring📞 and tell them “I am collecting my order and would need help bringing it to the car parked right outside the shop, because I have a problem walking” and confidently know they’d oblige and the whole thing would be over in 5mins and they’d be a smile involved too (to me that’s real business). Same thing if I go Indian or Turkish 🇹🇷 or cafés, in fact the manager of a Sri Lankan🇱🇰 restaurant I go to gave me his mobile number so I could pre order and he’d get me attended to in the car when I stop outside (with great politeness and smiles). But my own people at Starboy don’t seem to give a damn, what a great let down! But on a positive note, their Instagram page is 🔥 lit so that’s all that matters I guess. I thought that business was simply to get the customer what they want, take the money, smile and make them want to come back (the McDonald way) but oh no not here at Starboy. Anyway, from now on I’m sticking to places that are happy to see me and my money from now on. Sorry about the rant.

Delicious spicy (Suya & Asun) with chilled Lager 👌👌👌👌. Suya (Beef 🥩) Asun (Goat 🐐 meat)

Good service, good suya. There may be a quite a wait for your food as it seems to get made fresh to order.

Ohhhhkkkk if you are looking for Nigerian place to eat hot♨️fried yam with better sauce, you won't be disappointed. they also have other Nigerian foods😁

The best suya and asun! Excellent service as well. If you haven’t been here, you must come!

The best joint to eat right now! Went with my beautiful family and ordered a variety of their dishes like asun, sharwama, tuzo beef, fried yam, Jollof rice & every single dish was a HIT!!!! Wished we live nearby so as to visit every day! Can’t wait to come again. Thank you.

I have been to starboy a few times now and i can honestly say the food is fantastic… the mixed sharwama, suya, chicken suya all good still need to try other things on the menu but i am definitely giving the restaurant a thumbs up. Absolutely love it..

Nice and cosy spot for Steak. Great tasty food matched with excellent customer service

The yummiest joint in town. The food is well worth it, service was excellent. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back again

The shawarma was really nice. Would definitely order again

Torzo and chicken suya bought was really good. Asun not so much.
