First time here. Swahilys greeted us very personably. The owner is a sweetheart. Intimate place. Hookah is delicious and smooth. Drinks are strong. Highly recommend if you’re in the Newark area for a chill spot to smoke some hookah.

They need to update their service hours. I walked for a mile and over 30 minutes to find the doors closed and locked at 9 PM on Wednesday.
Do not waste your time coming up here it is closed. It does not exist. Do not waste your time.!!!!! CLOSED LOCATION
Went to go check out this spot. I went in on a Friday night. It’s was a handful of people and the vibe was there. The regulars made me feel comfortable especially me going in alone. The hookah and drinks were on point. Came back the next night and the owner was there. Smaller crowd on Saturday, but it was still cool. The owner was cool. I will definitely be back!!!
Called ahead to ensure they were open and was greeted by Swahily who was so sweet and attentive. She made sure I was taken care of my entire visit. She even went out of her way to have a conversation with me. Can’t wait to come back with friends!
