I had the pleasure of dining at Swahili Village Restaurant and I must say that the food and my experience was amazing. The food tasted so good and was accompanied by African music. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who were happy to share their knowledge of the dishes and made sure my dining experience was just perfect. I loved the decor and the drinks were fantastic. I really am lost for words, apart from the fact that you absolutely have to eat there or you will miss out on something exceptional.
I asked for two things and they gave me 3 and they put three in my check.I will have no problem paying for 3 things if I had asked for them. However, I didn’t ask for them. Therefore, I should only pay for two things according to law I had no clue what this two things consisted of so of course I’m going to consume what I am given based on what I asked. The lady that I tried to explain this to very much dismissed and miss handle the situation. They are lucky I am a nice person and let this slide someone else would’ve been very upset. Calling this place fine dining and lacking hospitality is such a disgrace to Kenyan/ African culture . You guys need to work on doing better, maybe turn down the music so you can hear your customers. I was not the only person at the table that got wrong orders and late orders. It took 3 hours to get food. I could get more culturally appropriate and “finer,” dining and experience at a a local or smaller restaurant. You guys have something great going for you so don’t let lack of training or club like atmosphere mess up such a beautiful idea. Because that’s what it is right now. A beautiful idea not yet fine dining.

Waited for over 20 minutes before we got a waiter on my table while the couple next to us got one a few minutes after they sat down(even got their food before we did). I don't want to call out skin color as an issue because it seemed like it. Different servers walking by us and looking with no one stopping by to ask if we've ordered. The service could definitely be better.

Authentic Kenyan ?? dishes.Service was top-notch ??.Felt like home.Good job guys.I enjoyed mbuzi choma, ugali ??????
As usual, the food was quite good. The aromas as we entered were tantalizing. My guest had the lamb chops. I had the Samaki (fish) salad. We shared samosas that were shatteringly crisp and very nicely seasoned. I really enjoy the space and the background music. While I wasn't partaking, I enjoyed seeing the creative cocktails being served.

The did was good but service lacked. Depending on the server, you got great service. Our servers assistance checked on us randomly. I spent the night with my neck in a crook looking to signal anyone for help. 2.5 hours of begging someone whom we paid a automatic 20%tip is ridiculous.

The true tastes of Africa, with delicious yolof rice, stews, and vegetables. The service team is attentive and efficient, all held together by Chris, who mans the bar as attentively as he manages his front of house colleagues. Definitely worth a visit.

I loved the goat stew and everything. The level of sound was high, making conversation difficult. I did enjoy the music. We were glad they were open late.
