Nile Restaurant, Chicago

Very tasty food, fresh vegetables and nice spot for a sit down. Soup is addictive.

Went to the one on 63rd Street. Kind of a hole in the wall place -- but tThe food was fantastic, especially the falafils, which were the best I have ever eaten (and at $39 apiece, I was tempted to get a bucket of them) The chicken and lamb dishes were very good, and the arabian coffee was excellent...however, what impressed me most was the service - friendly but not intrusive. The falafil sandwiches were also good (but needed some pickled turnip to be great) All in all, a really good experience

My first date with my existing partner was at the Nile Restaurant. I was familiar with the area in Hyde Park but never gave it any attention. As we walked through the door, I was told then, that it is a Middle Eastern Restaurant ... I thought to myself .. what the heck was I getting in to. I have experienced exotic foods before...so I wasn't to thrown back..just skeptical. WOW..is all I can say. The food is superb.... the flavors and choices of meats, and vegetables.....exquisite.....The portions....very filling.....enough to take home for lunch the next day....possibly better the second time around! A must taste for yourself. ENJOY

Love the food :). I come here on a weekly basis. The lamb and chicken are to die for and the service is excellent. It is definitely worth the commute from Evanston. :)
