I visited Swahili a few weekends ago and I enjoyed my time. I normally order the basket (i loveeeeee samosas lol) Princess is an amazing server. She always makes sure my food comes out right and her drink recommendations are always delicious!

Definitely coming back !!! Go see Princess at the bar she made me one of her signature drinks and it was sooooooooo good! If you’re looking for a bartender that knows how to make drinks check her out. I also had the chicken wings grilled with the spicy sauce as she suggested and it was A1. I will be coming back for drinks while Princess is there and the food !

I had an amazing customer service experience on my visit to Swahili village. I had arrived at the restaurant by uber but didn’t realize it wasn’t going to be open for an hour . While I was waiting outside, Clifton, the manager saw me standing outside and offered me a seat in the waiting area. He didn’t have to but he did and I was grateful.
Effie took my order and she was impressionable as well. . She was very respectful and knowledgeable of the cuisine!
