    Nile city is boat/ food court, they have 4 restaurants (Amer group)- Chili’s( American), Mama(Oriental), Studio Masr (Grills) and Halaket el Samak ( Fish) and Starbucks cafe. I like the variety the provide, however they lost a star because the place was not well cleaned. The staff are Helpful but not professional. The view is nice/Ok, because they have another 2 small boats attached to the original big Nile City boat. So, one needs to sit in special tables to get a good view of the nile I would say It is nice to give it a visit, but don’t raise the expectations.

    Beautiful ambience right by river nile! We ate at studio masr and everything was perfection! They have these cute grill boxes that they use to serve the grilled meats keeping it hot throughout. The lemon drink appetizer was so good we kept requesting more. The tea was so good!!! Our desert was outright sinful we couldn't even finish it. It was a great way to wrap up our trip to Egypt! Special thanks to our tour guide Hany who recommended this spot!

    Location is superb, on the bank of the magnificent Nile river, service is very good too, however both mine and my wife's stakes (well done) were very chewy and has too much gristle in it, hope this was a one time thing. We tried chicken & shrimp fajitas and they were alright. Update: they served us new stakes after sharing our opinions on the previous ones with them , adding additional stars to service and food quality.

    Good choice of restaurants in the one boat. We chose Hayat el Samak one of our favourites. Good choice of seafood, good service but food not as high quality as our last visit although it was fine.

    The food was so flavorful and tasty. The dessert we got was delicious. Kids really enjoyed. However the service was very slow.

  • 5/5 Skye W. 6 months ago on Google • 26 reviews
    The surroundings are really nice along the Nile River, the service is good, they try hard to please, they are courteous, the food is okay, I and my husband got the fajitas, our steak was full of gristle and not edible, the server came and asked us about us not eating our steak, he offered to fix it, we are currently waiting and enjoying our drinks and the breeze, it is nice. The new steak was improved.

    We have eaten here at Chili's in the past and it was great. Today not so....the Bacon Burger was Ice cold. The French fries were as well. The Chicken Fahita was great and super hot. The Chicken quesaeilla's were fresh and hot. This location was clean and we had a Fantastic young, smart, friendly waitress. Location is in need of repairs and updating.

    NileCity was a great experience. Probably the best view of the Nile in downtown Cairo. I highly recommend dinning on the deck so you can feel the great Nile winds. Food is great and reasonable price for the location and quality. Highly recommend.

    If you want one bored place, on the river, with mosquitos, with standard food and water and juices (not beer, not malt, not coke, not wine for sure...) you are welcome, this is the place.

    Three hours full of entertainment and good food. Loved the cruise with belly dance and various traditional dance onboard with live music. A fun filled cruise with Swimming pool on the deck. Hope they had more vegetarian options. Happy to cruise through the historic Nile River.

    We got on cafelluca trip with breakfast served from Enab Beirut. The food was amazing and very fresh! The service was more than excellent. They even made changes an hour before the trip to accomodate for the people who wouldn't come. And the vibes on the boat were very homey and chill. We loved everything about it.

    Nice modern place to go for coffee or dinner. We ate at the Lebanese restaurant there , it was good and moderate expensive. Suggested for a visit

  • 4/5 Sara D. 1 year ago on Google
    Well, I thought that I'll be seeing the Nile directly, but not true. Outside is for smoking, unfortunately. Very noisy, crowd, and if you're not a smoker, its not enjoying. The view outside is great though. I was sitting in Starbucks.

  • 5/5 Milena R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for the ones who want to have an Egiptian experience, for sure you will have it. The food was good, wish it would be more (quantity), a little bit expensive but it's worthy because of the amazing view you'll appreciate when eating there. :)

  • 3/5 Elsonian 1 year ago on Google
    The ice cream dish is HUGE. Order for 4 or more people. The fried chicken liver bubbled and cooked in front of you. Tasty menu, friendly service. Inexpensive.

  • 5/5 Menna Allah H. 9 months ago on Google
    There is a restaurant there called 3enab its food was very delicious but its staff has no flair and no nothing about dealing with their customer I loved the atmosphere sooo much but if you will visit that place I advise you to stay away from that restaurant with bad behaviour

  • 4/5 Kyara L. 3 years ago on Google
    A good place with an amazing view u’ll love it in case you ask for a wide nile view .. prices are still suitable in comparison of similar places with nile view.. isn’t very suitabl for a drink or taking a dessert mainly for meals and so on .. very nice for simple birthdays.. service is not bad but not very good too

    The breakfast at Mama was so delicious and moderately priced, the stuff was very nice and helpful. It was my first visit and won't be the last.

  • 4/5 Alexandre F. 2 years ago on Google
    The boat is nice, a bit inclined (you can feel it when you walk) .. nice view and location. Restaurants are good. Parking is decent although the parking assistant can be annoyingly pestering sometimes. Overall a good experience for a nice outing

  • 4/5 marwan u. 2 years ago on Google
    A very good place for anything actually either working, studying or even family event. There's a café and multiple restaurants, the place is very cosy with a great view and very nice service. There's also a parking, it's just a little bit crowded but other than that you will definitely have a good time there.

  • 5/5 Fatima D. 2 years ago on Google
    A good collection of restaurants in this location. From fast food chains to nice authentic Egyptian cuisine. There's some nice seating areas with options to sit outdoors on Nile Views. If could get really chilly in winter months outdoors so stay warm!

    One of the best place to visit if you're in Cairo. A wonderful view of the sea and the city intertwined. Selections of restaurants and cafe inside too.

    Mama restaurant . . Nice breakfast. Nice people . . Nice prices 😊😊

  • 2/5 Joseph F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very bad experience with chilies. If you want to have a seat, so you should eat 😞 although if you don't want otherwise you can go to take your drink at Starbucks. Just to be honest, this was applied during the Eid vacation. I don't know whether this is their rules all days or during the long vacations 🤔. I don't recommend while it's crowded.
