Hands down the best food I’ve ever tasted! Even the drinks and desserts were delicious. The ambience and vibe was amazing. The staff is friendly and kind, all of us had an amazing experience. I’ll definitely be back again and again. It felt so homely and inviting we didn’t want to leave. Swahili Village is the best. You have to experience for yourself to understand. By the way, I got all the praise for taking my family and my lady there for her birthday and having such a great time.

Had an amazing time. We dined on a Tuesday evening for date night and the ambience was amazing. It’s so beautiful and spacious inside. We started with the wing appetizer and the flavors were sensational for everything we selected. I chose the baked salmon, jollof rice and cabbage and bae had the Lentil stew, cabbage and fufu. We were more than satisfied! My favorite part of the evening was the saxophone player coming to our table to serenade us, the music was outstanding!!!

We were directed by our hotel security to this place never had Swahili food got there music was good so we ordered food and drinks however the waiter took too long they brought our food without utensils we had to ask then waited, ask for water waited again. Most restaurants give you water upon being seated. Food was a bit salty besides that I will definitely try it again.

Swahili Village is pure vibes! I’ve been to the location in DC, three times, and was excited to see if the Newark location would measure up. It definitely did! The Newark location is new and looks beautiful. I was also impressed by the food, as it was flavorful and the drinks, which got me all the way together!! I ordered the flaming Margarita (as always) and ordered the red snapper and lamb chops. Perfect volume music is played in the background which gives the restaurant a light lounge feel. I highly recommend paying this restaurant a visit. Perfect date night spot too!

Great food and strong drinks every time I’ve been; would definitely recommend and keep coming back. Samosas and samaki bites were the favorites. Service/ambience is amazing as well. A little pricey, but the food is worth it.

Amazing experience at Swahili. I booked a table for 8 guests to celebrate my aunt’s birthday and we had the time of our lives. The decor and ambiance is beautiful. They payed special attention to the birthday girl & even upgraded us last minute to the VIP room. There happened to be a DJ on site for that day, he played a nice mix of music and even gave her a birthday shout out. The food was delicious our fav was the Lamb chops with Jollof rice & spinach. Everyone loved the food. The service was exceptional I would highly recommend then for any special event you may have.

It was my first time visiting the restaurant. The food, ambiance, and customer service were high quality. Vivian, the waitress, was wonderful. The only problem with the place was the parking, but I will definitely return.

Ambience and Staff definitely deserve 5 Stars. Cocktails were strong enough and tasted great with some unique options. Quantity and Quality of the dishes we ordered was pretty good but I felt some of the items were heavy on the salt or lacking – not a deal breaker since they tasted good enough when mixed with the sides
