The restaurant was empty when we got there and it took them an hour to get the food to the table. Our waiter came by twice in that hour. The food was good. This was the only good thing. It was extremely loud from music and then everyone yelling at each other to be heard.

We arrived at 9pm on a Sunday night and the place was very loud. I ordered the roasted tilapia with coconut sauce and my fiancé ordered the oxtails. The food took a while to come out but it was delicious. The mango lassi was thick and yummy and overall our service was ok. I would definitely return.

This is my 2nd visit to Swahili Village in Beltsville. The food was outstanding and even our guests, who were experiencing Swahili food for the first time loved it! It was a quiet night so the ambiance was perfect for our birthday party! The only bad part was our server. He was a lovely man but he was sooo slow bringing our meal. And he brought out the birthday cake before we finished dinner. I would definitely return again and again. The food is the best and we still had a great time!!

Server was terrible . It took about 20 minutes just for our drinks to arrive. My salad took even longer. Our server Didn’t check or ask how our meal was going either. The plantains were not cooked either
