He made wonderful drinks and was a gracious bartender. The entire staff was friendly and the layout of the restaurant is nice. I didn't get to try anything else but I'll come back next time I'm in Newark.

The music and ambiance was lovely, and the servers were amazingly attentive. The food was mouthwatering. We shared the Red Snapper and had the sauce on the side. The curry fish nuggets had a lovely coconut flavor. Our drinks were celebratory indeed. If you're ever in NJ for a show at NJPAC, go across the street and check Swahili Village out!

I took a chance and they didn't disappoint. This is the best Okra stew I've had from a restaurant since I've know myself. I'm not a fan of too much spice but the flavor out done itself. I found my new place for African food.

From the owner: We are African Restaurant we cook wide varieties of Nigeria cuisine ranging from appetizers to main…read moredish. We really go local. So if your palette is calling for food like your mom or grandma used to cook, you found the right place, if you want to relax, listen or dance to a good African beat and a friendly vibe. Afro Oasis is definitely the place. Soccer season is coming, we got that too.

There is a long wait. They do cook everything fresh, but they ran outta the red snapper…read more Too much garlic on the food. Ordered branzino. It was fresh. But all I could taste was garlic. They use a lot of garlic on everything. It was a one and done. If you enjoy garlic, then it's for you. Restaraunt itself smells bad. It's not the most hygienic place. It's very a mom and pop, hole in the wall kinda place. I wouldn't dine in because of the smell.

This tiny unassuming African spot on the Main Street in Springfield is one such establishment. If you asked me where the very best grilled chicken I could have is I would point you here and tell you to ignore the fact that it was African, if you asked me for the very best African food I would say there are many great places and this is one of the absolute best! Karen, the owner and chef and Emanuel her brother are kind and well versed in hospitality, a fact that her formal and informal training will prove if you are fortunate enough to meet them. The spices, the smells and the flavors are what Africa is known for and the first thing they will tell you is that everything is cooked to order so don't expect it to just be ready but I promise you it's worth twice the amount of time (it wasn't too long by the way) and you truly feel as though you have been invited into their home. With no hyperbole this is not just some of the very best African food I've had it's some of the very best food I've ever had and I cannot wait to return.

Looking for a chill African spot to dance and unwind, we were recommended to visit Origin. We…read morearrived around 10:30 and were told we made it just in time to get in for free, as there is a cover charge starting at 11 pm. For about an hour, the music was at an enjoyable level. Once it hit 11:30, the dj started and it became hard to talk to each other. The afrobeats and hip-hop kept us dancing and singing all night, although a lot of songs ended prematurely. My girlfriend didn't enjoy her espresso martini until they made it again with less Bailey's. I ordered a Remy Martin based cocktail which was ok. Our bartender was funny and engaging, and she went above and beyond to make us drinks we had at other restaurants (which she nicely didn't charge us for). Their alcohol selection is average. They also have a VIP lounge upstairs and people smoke hookah throughout.

It's a bit…read morestrange for the area, since the neighborhood is predominantly Carribean, but thankfully Akwaaba graces us (the name itself means, "Welcome", in Twi). I was told you know it's a legit place since inside, there's hanging one of the most common Ghanaian house decorations, the wall mat with the famous woman smiling from ear to ear, holding a vessel and a large bowl. This place is definitely a hole in the wall, resembling more of a closet on the side of a building than an actual eatery. It's cash only, be prepared, and also you might have to ring the doorbell since the guy isn't always there attentive waiting at the door. Prices were fair for what they were offering. We got the Banku with okra soup and Waakye with goat meat. Both were legit, according to my friend, and reminded him of home so much that he closed his eyes. He said we definitely need to go back.
