Beautiful restaurant. Service was slow and workers were not always on the same page concerning specials. The food was excellent and drinks were strong. I would definitely return and recommend to others.

My brother and I visited the Swahili Village prior to our visiting NJPAC. He had been there previously; this was my first time. The host, hostessed (Winnie) and talked us through the menu, made excellent recommendation, explained Kenyan food & culture and was absolutely wonderful. The food was excellent but would have liked more ... more portion size and more options. I will definitely go back and would recommend this restaurant for others. We were celebrating my brother's birthday, and they offered a dessert on the house. We did not take them up on it, but the gesture did not go unnoticed. A wonderful time. Thanks Winnie!!

Our experience at Calabash was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was so personalized amd the staff really got to know us as people and not simply customers. The atmosphere was intimate to the point we felt like we were at someone's home. Best of all, the food that Chef Camari prepared was both elevated and comforting. Every dish had incredible flavors and was complimented by the fun drink pairing. We will absolutely be returning for both the dinner and brunch options and recommending to all of our friends and family.

The Asaba Global Supper Club is a unique experience. We got to experience the Fela table while vacatinong in St. Thomas and we were amazed by the whole event. It seemed strange at the beginning that the location of the dinner would be revealed just a day or two before the event, but the wait was totally worth it. The dinner was hosted inside the house of a fantastic Nigerian couple, house that showcased many if the Nigerian traditions. We were welcomed by the hosts with a great smile. Everyone had their seats assigned and we got the chance to make new friends. We were provided a glass of champagne and the chance to meet and interact with the others guests. The food was just fantastic and the wine pairing was equally great. Each dish and each glass of wine came with a story based on Fela's life and the history of Nigeria during his life. The whole event was more than just a dinner: it was an experience unlike any other, with well selected music, great stories, and fabulous food. We strongly recommend that everyone tries this experience.
