This was my third visit to Swahili Village before taking in a show a NJPAC. I wanted to try the appetizers on this visit so we ordered them all. Everything was as well seasoned and delicious to the palette.

We went to Native on Open Mic night and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere/ ambience are chic and distinctive. We waited a bit long for our drinks, but to be fair the bar was at capacity. The mojitos were flavorful and bright, quite yummy. The food was good Mambo wings (sweet, fiery sauce) and the salmon tacos put a smile on our faces. The Open Mic band is fabulous, the lead singer amazing, and the other participants were good. It was definitely a great evening out. Thank you.
