Swahili Village Newark offers a lively atmosphere with delicious traditional food and good music. The restaurant serves vegetarian and vegan options, including lentils with collards and Ugali. Guests can enjoy good music, cocktails, and a lively setting. Parking is available within a short walking distance. The service is warm and attentive, and the food is delicious, with a fusion of Indian and African flavors. The grilled meats, especially the goat, and the creamed coconut spinach are highly recommended. The restaurant is conveniently located across the street from NJPAC, making it a great option for those attending a show.
Customers praise the fantastic food and excellent customer service. The receptionist is described as very welcoming and personable, while the waiter is patient and attentive. The beef is said to be really nice and juicy, though the jollof is not the same as the West African version. Customers appreciate the flavorful and fresh food, as well as the good drinks. The only downside mentioned is the very loud music on weekends.
