Black Nile Seafood & Soul Food

Food is amazing 🤩. Svc is always great! The owner Hassan is so welcoming and treats everyone like family. This is my go to place for soul food in Brooklyn. The chef is AMAZING! The food has never been a disappointment. It’s always fresh and tasty. I’ve been coming here for two years now and I’ve never been let down! I always feel full and happy leaving here.

Nothing less than PHENOMENAL!! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had the Mr. Black Nile for my main dish and every bit of it was worth the drive. We also shared some appetizers that were on point! To top it off, the customer service was exceptional! Hasan and his wife Fanerra were amazing hosts and took great care of us. This was the only place I went out for dinner while visiting NY and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be back on my next trip over!

Oh my gosh. I read through the reviews before ordering and they did NOT disappoint. I ordered the lobster tails with rice and asparagus. I added the seafood mac and cheese because of all of the great reviews. The Mac and cheese was delicious every single bite, I literally took my time to saver the taste lol. The lobster tails were great. I had them grilled , they were meaty and literally falling out of the shell which made a huge difference for me. A lot of places don’t take the time to do that. I noticed y’all! Asparagus were steamed perfectly the rice was good too. Im just not big on rice. Very generous portions as well. I am visiting in New York but I have family here so I will def be ordering again. Literally worth the five stars if you’re considering ordering please do. My food was seasoned perfectly not too salty like perfect. True seafood fresh seafood and although I ordered to go, still hot when it arrived. I usually reheat the food, didn’t have to! Bring a restaurant to Maryland 💜

The food was amazing! I got seated after only a brief wait, the staff were quick to take my order and follow up with us once we received it. The menu is creative, the ambience was great and the wait staff was attentive. I highly recommend them and will most definitely be back! Can't wait to try their new sliders on The Black Castle menu for the outside patio. Great dining experience!

I went to their new location and i would absolutely go again ! Food was 10/10. I ordered the cater 2 you dish and everything was amazing. The shrimps were crispy , crab cakes were super flavorful and soft and the mac & cheese was everything i hoped it would be. The owner made it his business to greet you and make you feel welcomed!! I’ll definitely be back

I've walked past this place for months and never knew what a gem this place is. Service was A-1 and Hassan the owner was amazing. Two things to note, #1 Black Nile doesn't serve alcohol but you can but you can bring your own and #2 Everything is made to order so expect to wait at least 20+ minutes for your food. It is worth it though. The venue is small but the decor is nice and sexy. It can be a nice spot to hang out with friends or have a date night. The music was loud and lively. Our party of six order many of the items on the menu. Fried chicken, fried catfish, lobster, salmon, shrimp, crab cakes, wings, mac and cheese (regular and seafood), greens, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, potato salad, cornbread (crab and blueberry). We tried the punch and lemonade as well as the peach cobbler and banana pudding. Everything was delicious and we were all satisfied. Hassan kept us all happy and satisfied. I ordered the fried chicken with the creole gravy with crab meat. It was tasty but overwhelming for me because it was too much gravy. The chicken was fried golden perfectly. I realized I personally don't like smothered fried chicken and prefer chicken plain. The gravy and the chicken both was a little too salty so it didn't work well together. My friend said her crab cakes were salty. We all enjoyed everything else. My favorite thing was the crab cornbread a.k.a. Black Love. We demolished it so quickly I couldn't take a picture of it when it first came out. I can't wait to go back to try the brunch menu.
