Kevin Onyona is an award-winning Kenyan businessman and officially a Washingtonian, for the amount of decades he has resided in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Kevin founded the Swahili Village Group from very humble beginnings with his wife.
Now almost 20 years later, he has utilized this organization to build an authentic connection between the African culture and the rest of the world. "The African culture is very misinterpreted globally and it is time we stood up and displayed the authenticity of our originality in culture, food, arts and music." says Kevin Onyona.
He has achieved this currently through a set of fine dining African restaurants named Swahili Village restaurants. The first restaurant located in the state of Maryland was a gathering place for Africans away from the motherland to feel at-home through every meal, drink or visit. After serving the local community and travelers from far and wide in this humble restaurant for 10 years, receiving dining awards and community recognition by different national and international groups, he began his expansion to accomplish his original mission throughout the United States of America.
Swahili Village DC positions itself as a fine dining African restaurant and social and cultural event space for programming that fosters U.S.-African engagement. “We thought it was important to take an opportunity to truly celebrate our place here in DC and remind everyone that we have big plans as we move forward in our mission to bring people together through food, culture, art, and enlightened conversations,” says Kevin Onyona.
