    It's been there for a while but The Platform view is still a favorite for me ❤. They're renewing it. But Dar Ward has very good food and service. The Ghannouj was exceptionally good 👌 tawook and hummus. Their shawarma fahm a bit unfamiliar for us Egyptians, but they changed the plate for us when we asked for it. Cool place for shisha and live entertainment on some nights.

    The Ambience was good near the Nile River Bank.Live Band was there we felt it is included but at the end alongwith food bill they charge 100 EGP ( approx INR 400) per head. Food was good. But felt the food and other things were overcharged.

    A beautiful place with a great view directly on the Nile. Sitting there at sunset is more than wonderful.

    If not for the "minimum charge" in cafes there, this place would have possibly been my absolute favourite place to get out. You can swing in for a coffee and breakfast early in the morning and it would be perfect. You could invite your loved one for a dinner by the river at sunset and it would be perfect. You could go for a quiet read in the sunny riverside and it would also be perfect. The prices are well enough if not for the minimum charge of some of the cafes there.

    The place has a beautiful view of the Nile but it was much better when it opened. Seems that many restaurants closed there and the existing ones not being taken care of. The place in general needs maintenance. The restaurant we tried offered tasty Syrian/ Lebanese food. Would love to see the Platform in a batter state next time!

    View is breathtaking. You can sit there and relax while enjoying the view. We sat in a Restaurant called “Em Bakry”. The place was very unique- colourful chairs and decor as well as one of a kind menu. Drinks were okay, food was below average. Prices are okay,too. Service a bit slow.

    Very nice court with variety of coffee shops and restaurants. The video is legendary over the Nile River and the place has boats for couples and families cruises as well .

    Unforgettable view, I choosed vintage Cafe and the service was more than excellent there and a very friendly staff and affordable prices

  • 2/5 Abdelhamed M. 5 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    The place is average to low. Prices are expensive but the location worth it somehow. Food is not that great. Salad and burger were ok. Pizza is too bad. They don‘t offer varieties of desserts.

  • 4/5 Mohamed N. 1 year ago on Google
    It's okay, it's really old and it shows but they still have a couple of places open. Would have been better if they had some light on the Nile since it was pitch black and couldn't really see much.

  • 3/5 Explore M. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there hoping for a nice long walk along the Nile, but really this is just a small courtyard with maybe 4-5 restaurants and less than 50 m walk on the Nile. So, it really is mostly a place to go to a specific restaurant there, which none seemed that special. The view is nice if there are boats with lights passing by, but otherwise it is pretty dark at night for this section of the Nile

  • 3/5 Ali H. 11 months ago on Google
    The place at night was quite and almost clean. It is safe also for families and children thanks to the security. The prices ranges from average to above average. I enjoyed background music alongside the whole space. I felt some spots need more cleaning and maintenance. I visited two of restaurants there and I wasn't impressed by the the quality of service and food.

  • 4/5 Al G. 1 year ago on Google
    For those going by car, you need to look for the sign of VIEW FRONT because the place changes its name. It still has the same stunning view of the Nile but with fewer outlets in business, which reduces the energy of the place but it's better if you look for quiet and peace. I recommend a restaurant called LUSH MOON for breakfast or other meals. Good food and service. Average prices.

  • 3/5 Eman K. 1 year ago on Google
    I sit for 2 hours at baledina coffee and restaurant, shisha was good, mosquitos were really bad there, especially front tables.

  • 4/5 Amr E. 1 year ago on Google
    The place has a very good vibes by the Nile with warm lights I only sat there once and it was f crowded and it was nice I recommend this place if you need to sit by the Nile for some quite time

👍👍 Delicious shawerma. Also had the liver, but amazingly the Star might be the mango juice. It’s the best I’ve ever had, just perfectly ripe mango in chunks.
