    Don't laugh, but this is the first time that I have ever been to a cigar bar! I have been wanting to go for ages but never got around to experience. Came here with my family and was such a great experience. Lounge is super comfortable dark and cozy. Comfy couches and lounge chairs, very clean and classy. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice selection of cigars and beverages if you desire. Will definitely return!

    Great place to enjoy a cigar, the owner and his wife are fantastic people. I love discovering a new lounge and the cave is a special place to sit back and enjoy a fine cigar amongst some great people.

    You want to relax and enjoy good cigars- come check them out. Great selections. Friendly owners and they make you feel at home.

    Time to break out of one's culinary groove and explore a cuisine loaded with flavor, history, and a…read morediversity of textures and ingredients. African cuisine holds quite a range, depending on the country and culture it originated from. Across the US, from vibrant food markets to trendy fusion cafés and transmigration-owned restaurants, one cuisine is rising fast: Kenyan food. It's not as globally mainstream as Thai or Mexican yet, but in 2026 it's becoming one of the most talked-about international food experiences, especially in multicultural cities like New York, Chicago, or LA. My partner, our friends, and I made a reservation at Swahili Village off of Center Street in Newark before the Saturday night performance at the nearby NJPAC. A reservation was easily made hours in advance via OpenTable. Upon arrival as first-timers, we were greeted by the host at this husband-and-wife-owned establishment. We were promptly seated at a high table by the bar in one of the three spacious dining rooms blending traditional elements paying homage to African heritage with modern touches; Afrobeat music enhances the festive atmosphere to create a warm and welcoming vibe. The menu is built around East African dishes influenced by the region's historical ties to Arab traders, Portuguese explorers, British colonizers, and Indian immigrants. As a starter, we opted for the Samosa. For our main meal, we decided on Suya-Nyama Choma (Beef), Lamb Chops, Grilled Chicken Breast-Kuku Choma, and Oxtails. They came with two sides and got Jollof rice, Mokimo, Sweet Plantains, and Spinach. Our drinks (Flaming Margarita, White Sangria, The Motherland, and Heaven's Nectar Martini) were strong enough and tasted great, with some unique options. One reason why we fell in love with Kenyan cuisine was its balance of flavors. Instead of being extremely spicy or very mild, Kenyan dishes were aromatic, warmly spiced, and tastefully rich & savory. The portions were healthy. We didn't have room for dessert. The service was impeccable. Our server, Fabrice, took the time to explain everything on the menu & recommended drinks and entrees. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Hands down the best food we've ever tasted!

    Good food, first time trying a Kenyan restaurant, but my server would not leave me alone. My…read moregoodness, it was borderline harassment, and I ended up giving my phone number just to make it stop. Very unprofessional honestly. Outside of that, I give the food a 4/5. It was delicious. I didn't care for the cabbage or the sauce that went on the fish, but it was mostly delicious. The restaurant is very clean, from the booths to the restrooms. There is good music and also the ladies there were very kind. I came here specifically because a Kenyan guy I was dating wanted me to try it out. It was definitely worth trying, although the server soiled the experience for me. I don't recommend visiting as a woman by yourself. Come with a group or something. That was very weird.
