Posi\u2019s Kitchen, a family-owned West African fusion restaurant, has returned to the University Union for another semester.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The restaurant currently occupies the Community Kitchen next to the Halal Shack. It spent some of April 2026 at Local Restaurant Row, where it won the Center of Student Diversity\u2019s \u201cJollof Wars.\u201d<\/p>\n
The restaurant currently offers suya chicken bowls and buttery meat pies as Tiger Meals. Posi\u2019s Kitchen owner Ola Lawal said the most popular item on the menu is the chicken suya bowl.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey love that,\u201d he said. \u201cThey go crazy on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
It also offers combo meals at retail price, including veggie jollof bowls, shrimp or beef suya bowls, and meat shawarmas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crystal Okala, a junior, said the restaurant makes her feel more at home and connected to her Nigerian culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it definitely just diversifies Towson, and kind of just changes the stigma,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Students also gave mixed opinions on the restaurant\u2019s portion sizes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some, like senior Blake Brown, said they were satisfied with the portions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe proportions compared to everything else on campus was very generous,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n
Others said they wish the portions were larger.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey could have gave more chicken,\u201d said senior Morgan Taylor after eating the chicken suya bowl.<\/p>\n
Posi\u2019s Kitchen is open in the University Union Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The brick-and-mortar restaurant is located in Mount Vernon in Baltimore and is also open five days a week.<\/p>\n
