I like to introduce my meet with colleagues here, as no disturbing music and simply authentic North African cuisine, all kinds of drinks and a proper selection of times. the patron with the nil is an enrichment in the 7th district, careful, sympathetic and cosmopolitan.

I like the atmosphere and the location in this cafe, as it really is done in a way, would have been a simple Egyptian cafe in classic times. Wooden chairs, small tables ... meet the typical cafe style people in Egypt and enjoy a game of Taula (Backgammon) or a decent Domino game in the evening. Cafe Nil offers a small selection of dishes and drinks, including typical teas such as black tea, karkade (Hibiscus) and a range of standard drinks. The food is usually real (with the exception of CousCous ... not sure why they offer it, but I did not try it). I was looking for a Koshari for dinner, but they did not have it on the menu (go to Koshry Lux when you are in Berlin). I had the Dawood Basha in the evening. OKish with a special mix of spices (I would not only come for it). For breakfast I had a plate with typical Egyptian food Fool, Taameya (and not Fallafel), Egg, Salad, Bread and Tea. I have recently missed Falafel particularly decent and I can recommend to everyone to try it out. All in all 4 stars to be authentic and authentic, with typical Egyptian dishes. Despite what I read in other reviews about the service, I was well treated and cannot complain.

It was well booked, but a wonderful table near the big window was free for us. The guy was a little too busy to be friendly, but the food was great.
