Last night I tried a different dish this time at this Middle Eastern Mediterranean restaurant. I enjoyed the Baked Spinach Pie and the Shish Kabob Lamb.

I had a dinner party for 10 people and ordered a variety of dishes. Order was delivered as requested, on time with everything marked……and food was absolutely DELICIOUS. I have been a fan of this restaurant for years, but this gave me the opportunity to try some dishes I had not in the past. Lamb chops, Shawarma, salmon, appetizers all perfect. The Jerusalem salad simply could not have been better and is now one my favorites! THANKS!!!!

Low key, unpretentious, DELICIOUS Middle Eastern cuisine. I live in the far suburbs & told my husband we're bringing out of towers here! *chef's kiss

I really enjoy my meals at the Nile. I got the same thing as last time (the #14) and everything is good. The meats are tender and the rice is fluffy. They give you large portions also, so there's always some to take home. Our server was very kind.

I was thoroughly impressed with this place. The lamb kabobs, rice, vegetables, and lentil soup were 10/10. Our server was very friendly as well. Incredible

Great Mediterranean cuisine. I recommend the chicken shwarma, hummus (the best I've had), red lentil soup, Jerusalem salad. Vegetables and rice. I haven't had a bad dish here. Our server was one of the best.

We walked in for a table for 7 on a summer Friday night around 8pm. The restaurant was not too busy. The falafel was the best, really tasty, hot and soft inside and not overly crunchy or fried on the outside. The pita bread was yummy. I liked how the vegetarian maklouba was lightly seasoned. These days eating out usually end up eating too salty or greasy but not with the maklouba here.

The food is really good at this long-time restaurant staple. The reason I give only 4 stars is the service - no tableside banter or personal touch. Just throwing plates and drill Sargent mannerisms. Aside from that, it was a great date location with my boo.

I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the combo beef / lamb and chicken. The portions are enough for 2 people. The beef/lamb was very tender & juicy. I will return.
