"I had the snapper with collard greens and jollof rice. I originally wanted it fried without sides but they did not have that option available even though I was told over the phone by a worker. The fish was good but too much onions and peppers for me. The rice was cool, not spicy how I would like it and the greens were bland to me. Overall the food was a 6/10. The sides portions was small for what I paid. The drink I had was very good . The service was just slow and not enough workers.I just wish they had the option of fried Snapper alone please. I was really craving it 😭"

"A time was had at Swahili Village this weekend. Assani and Casandra (Mgr) were amazing! We had the samosas, jollof rice, wings, and the shareable tasting platter and EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!! The peri peri sauce (spelling) was wonderful and took us back to a trip to Africa we took a few years back. PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION IN PHILLY!! We would welcome this atmosphere and amazing cooking with open arms and empty stomachs. If you are ever in Newark for a show make sure to stop by before and after. The restaurant closes at 3am and the DJ on Saturday after the concert was awesome. My husband and I had so much fun that we stayed until the lights came up and came back at noon the next day for lunch. IT IS JUST THAT GOOD."

"I had my birthday dinner at Swahili Village and it was absolutely amazing! The food was incredible and full of flavor, and the music was fire! DJ Onyx had us on our feet the entire night it was hit after hit after hit, we could barely focus on eating because the vibe was that good. The team also put together a beautiful menu for us and added personalized touches that made the evening extra special. For anyone planning to bring a large party, I recommend getting your orders in ahead of time it helps but honestly, the food is so worth the wait either way. I’m so happy I chose Swahili Village to celebrate my birthday. It was everything I could’ve hoped for and more. Can’t wait to come back again!"

"5 stars across the board! The food and customer service was fantastic. No complaints. The receptionist, Yakai, was very welcoming and personable. The waiter was patient and gentle; he checked on us frequently. Would recommend to any age group. 10/10"
